Flash Tape--A little flash of AMAZING

-
Are you tired of constantly tugging at your clothes to make sure your bra strap isn't hanging out?  Tired of constantly pulling your shirt up to prevent your girls from making their debut?  Tired of that gaping hole right in the 'busty' area of your blouse?  If so, let me tell you about my little flash of amazing--it's called FLASH TAPE and it is a life saver!!

I am a very particular girl--I don't like my underwear showing, don't like my shirt to pull up when I bend over, don't like to worry about anything being seen that isn't supposed to be seen, so this product has been so amazing for me.  How did I discover it, you might ask?  Well, I stole it from my kids!  Kiki had some very long socks that she wore for her jazz solo and she used this tape to hold them up so they didn't fall down in the middle of a jete or a baryshnikov (doesn't my command of the 'dance' language impress you?!), and the surprising thing is that it totally worked!  Despite jumping, spinning, rolling around on the floor etc. her socks didn't come down.  After a while my pea sized brain communicated to me that this might be something that I could use in my wardrobe so I commandeered it out of the girls' dance bag, claimed it as my own and found new life in my wardrobe!  Now I could wear off the shoulder shirts that didn't fall off the shoulder (I know, what's the point if it doesn't fall off the shoulder, right? ) and I could secure those gap-py tops without flashing my clients every time I bent forward (hmmm...business HAS dropped off a little since I started taping up my shirts though...might need to reconsider this).  

One day I had a little panic attack mixed in with a hissy fit when I reached into my drawer and the tape was MISSING!!  ARGH!!  I called to my kids, "Where's the sticky tape?!"

"Oh." says Mo, "I lent it to See and she chucked it into her dance bag and I didn't have the heart to ask for it back."

"ASK FOR IT BACK.  RIGHT NOW!!  TEXT HER!", I demanded!  "Why can't I have ANYTHING in this house without you guys always using it?  You use my hair straightener, my hair spray,  my brush, my razor.  Everything! What is it with you guys?!!!"

"Umm...Mom" says Mo, "Didn't you steal that out of MY dance bag?"

Me: "Oh." (gulp)

Me:  "Nevermind..."

Me: walks to drug store and buys own roll of Flash Tape.

Me:  happy now...and all tucked in!

Now I am assured that I will not have any wardrobe malfunctions such as these:

A little flash tape on the shoulder would have kept the boulder out of sight...
A little slip of the nip is not pleasant.

No amount of flash tape could fix this.  The product does have it's limitations.  Perhaps some pants, or as my mom would say, slacks, might help?
So, go spend the 12 bucks and keep your girls tucked in!

No thanks is necessary but if you feel the need, just leave a roll of the flash tape at my door...

Gymnasts use a similar product to keep their bathing suits from doing a back flip while they're doing a forward roll.

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Happy 20th Anniversary to Us!!

Yeah, so the old man and I have been hitched for 20 years today.  Been together for 30 years (yes, we started dating when we were BABIES!) and yes, I have been with him for more than 1/2 of my life.  That's pretty crazy when you think of it...he's been there for EVERY major milestone of my life, and I for his.  It's pretty hard for either of us to pull a 'remember when' memory from a period of our lives in which the other person wasn't present.  Oh sure we went off and did things separately, like I lifeguarded for 2 summers in a little town in the Interior, and he lived in the Okanagan for about a year, and he climbed mountains with friends and did hikes that I wasn't part of,  but we were still a couple.   We started dating when I was 14 and he was 17--I had to get special permission from my parents to date him because I wasn't allowed until I was 16.  I remember the discussion quite vividly and my parents agreed to allow him to come over, and to take
