Author’s note: This is NOT a sponsored post. I’m just really, really geeked about some stuff I bought last week and had to tell someone about it. So thanks for listening.
Greetings, friends.
How are you today?
Me? I’m great.
Better than great: Refreshed. Renewed. Recharged.
You see, I spent last weekend in the company of eight dear girlfriends, soaking in the Arizona sunshine.
And enjoying cocktails.
And lounging in the pool.
And engaging in a wide variety of behaviors that prompted one girlfriend to muse on the day of our departure: “You know…we really should bake all of the neighbors muffins and drop them off in baskets with little apology notes.”
But I digress.
On the day of our departure, our group did a bit of shopping in search of jealousy stokers momentos for our loved ones back home.
Cacti were bought.
Mexican jumping beans were fawned over.
Sombreros were sized up.
And as for me? I made a bee-line for Z Gallerie to purchase my souvenirs.
Got one of those near you? A Z Gallerie, I mean. Not a bee-line. Or a souvenir.
Think Pottery Barn meets Alice in Wonderland.
Yeah. Stylishly trippy.
And Z Gallerie boasts the most fantastic moderately priced gift department around.
Checkitout.
Twin A received the Ibling. Not only does it prop up your smart phone for hands-free use. When you pick it up and hold it just so? It appears you’ve got a huge, honking chunk o’ bling on your ring finger.
Twin B was given “F in Exams,” the national bestseller that glorifies the stupidest of the stupid in test answers. Sample question: “What is the highest frequency noise that a human can register?” Sample answer: “Mariah Carey.”
And The Small One? He was presented with this Sound Machine that makes no less than 16 of the strangest, rudest sounds known to civilized man. So now, when I ask him to clean his room, I am usually met with (A) canned laughter or (B) flatulence that rivals a brass band.
I mean, really…anyone can give their kid a keychain or a fridge magnet. But in my book? It takes a special brand of cray-cray motherly love to bring home gifts that will alternately insult and embarrass the gift giver.

OK…a friend told me on Twitter that comments aren’t working for readers. Can anyone reply to this? *headdesk*
LOVE that iBling…
Hey! I can see your comment! Off to Twitter to circle my peeps back here! Come back! Come baaaaaack!
One word-FABULOSITY!!!!! We ARE all a bit Mad here, aren’t we? Well, the best usually are.. Something like that- Love the gifts! You are a ROCK STAR Momma!!!
*blush* Thanks, Melissa.
Is it working?! I can see other comments…
YAYAYAYAYYYYY! Thanks, darling. xo
That’s so cool you had a bunch of girl friends to go do something like that with.Sounds so fun.
I so wish I had something like that.
psssst…I wouldn’t wish the two-day recovery period on anyone.
Love love love ZGallerie. Hate hate hate that I need to drive to Schaum-Vegas to get there. Oh well. I’ll call it a field trip. (find it fascinating that Lennon’s Nobody told me is on the radio as I am reading your post….Strange Days Indeed).
Heck, I flew to AZ for one! (sort of)
And serioulsy? Lennon’s on the radio?
We were meant to be.
I am truly appreciating the usage of “cray cray” here
Why, THANK you. *deep bow*
Spent all day Monday baking muffins. In talks with tabloids to sell exclusive video rights: Saturday night giggle fest.
Sometimes, girlfriend…there are just not enough muffins. Or enough prayers that the video will never go viral.
Sue I love all the gifts and my kids would think you are just awesome. Well except the eldest…but ya know! LOL And I think we have that store here but never realized they sold stuff like that. I’ll have to visit one day! And I def need a girls weekend trip!
I highly recommend it all. The gifts…and the trip. Smooches to your eldest!
You’re a pretty awesome mom. And now I want all that stuff. I’ll have to Google and see if we have one around these parts. I’m also now dying for a weekend getaway to recover from the two-week potty training stint. Help.
Like I said…you’re FORTUNATE that your stint lasted two weeks.
Signed,
The ding-a-ling that dragged it out for TWO YEARS
Now who wouldn’t want a sound maker?
I know I would.
Don’t send me one for Mother’s Day though unless it comes with a complimentory breakfast in bed.
