I am in Tupperware Perdition
I sat in the middle of my kitchen floor tonight, sorting Tupperware with no matching parts and listing my sins…
–I cut in front of slower drivers and gesticulate angrily.
–I laughed when Paris Hilton was sent weeping back to jail.
–When my twins’ third grade teacher asked where Zach’s homework was, I pretended I’d forgotten the folder at home when in fact we had done no homework all week.
–When I was 16 I stole my sister Juli’s skirt and when she confronted me, I actually went to the store, pretended I’d lost my sales recipt and got a copy. I presented it to her as “proof” that I’d bought that skirt and made her feel insane every time I wore it.
I do not feel that any of these sins warrant the fact that I have $6,000 worth of plastic food storage items and none of the lids fit any of the bowls. Unless…Juli has waited all these years to finally creep in, steal various bowls and lids to make me feel insane and wreak her vengeance.

There’s Still A Few Slots Open For The Nielsen Homescan Panel!
Here’s a new update from girlie Chris: “I have now been notified that I am on the panel! I am waiting for my scanner to come in the mail. Thanks, Todd and Erin, for posting the info!”
(Editor’s note: we’ve been following with some interest since The Todd and I never seem to have the magic zip code or demo that they need. There’s a few opening still available if you haven’t applied. If this is the first you’ve heard of the Homescan Panel, read on.)
Beloved girlies Georgia and Shauna made the first cut–and Shauna’s shopping! I’ll keep posting their comments so we can all follow along. Definitely apply! It’s a short form. Good luck!
Yeee! You’ve likely read my posts before about the Nielsen Panel, they’re the best, hands-down, of any of the “make money at home” groups. They’re back with some slots available for their Homescan group–you’d be the ones testing products for marketers to determine what gets manufactured and placed on shelves. It’s a well-paid gig, lots of prizes, lots of product. You can apply here, good luck! Let us know if you get in… Sneaky inside tip: there’s word that the “Homescan” division is filling up more quickly than expected. Consider applying right away if you’re interested…
