Sara is a sucker for infomercials. It doesn't really matter what's being advertised, she'll be convinced that she cannot live without it before the half-hour commercial has passed. More than once I've had to pry the phone out of her hands to avoid the "Three easy payments of $19.95". It doesn't matter if it's the George Foreman grill, Some kind of food dehydrator that can suck the juice out of a whole turkey, or a spin-off of the magic bullet blender (spin-off... blender... get it?) Sara is convinced she's living in the dark ages of consumerism unless she's able to procure these ingenious little trinkets.
It wouldn't be so bad, but she remembers all of them. Her desire for modern comfort-technology wells up from time to time and she reminds me that we are living squalidly without a sandwich maker that also cooks omelets.
Here are some of her favorites:
The In Styler
The Oreck Air Purifier
The ShamWOW!
The Snuggie
The H2O Mop
How have I lived so long without them?

Josh, first of all, thank you soooooo much for doing this!! I laughed so hard my throat hurts! I watched the info-mercials with my boys and my 7 year old seriously was telling me to call and order at least 3 of them so maybe Sara is not so all alone in that.
