Time is a valuable commodity, so I always look for ways to simplify things and help me spend my free time (I think I have an hour of that coming up in Mid-July!). In other words, Maudie needs a miracle!
If I believed everything I read, time-saving, money-saving miracles are easily found. Every day I receive several "miracle offers" in my mailbox and my e-mail. If they all really worked, they'd make life pretty easy.
One of my favorite "miracle offers" states, "Double your paycheck without leaving your home."
Wowza! Maudie would love to double her paycheck! Who wouldn't? I haven't investigated this offer. It sounds really good, but I'm afraid it may involve some sort of home chemistry lab for a drug cartel, gun-running, or a similar illegal work-at-home industry. I've decided to let this "miracle offer" pass me by. Call it a hunch, but I just don't think the offer's legit.
Two more "miracle offers" that I recently reviewed said, "Get fit while you sit," and "Get a workout without getting out of your chair."
Now you're talking Maudie's language! Don't those sound just peachy? I wouldn't have to drive to the gym and spend hours on the treadmill anymore. (I do that....in my mind I do that. Honest.).
I could just drag my out-of-shape derriere to the car each morning, drive the hour, or so that I spend in my daily work travels, and come home each day with a toned body that would make Dita Von Teese jealous. If you don't know who Dita is, just Google the gal. I doubt she got that body by driving back and forth from work.
But really readers, unless I'm going to be power-lifting my compact car while I sit in a chair, I just don't see how those offers can be serious.
Another neat sounding "miracle offer" claims, "Burn fat while eating anything you want!"
Jackpot! That one got my complete attention. I smiled as I imagined myself relaxing in a nice chair (getting fit, of course, while doing so), as I ate massive quantities of Hershey bars, Grandma Utz chips, and bakery goods that come from Maudie's lil ole downtown-hometown bakery. Could this offer be true? I'm not really going to try it. It sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. I can imagine myself eating and eating as I sit and sit.
Eat, eat....sit, sit.
Sit, sit....eat, eat.
Bloat, bloat....enlarge, enlarge.
Call the local volunteer fire department to bring over the jaws of life to extract Maudie from her chair!
Folks, the only time Maudie has truly ever burned fat while relaxing was last summer, as I sat, reading a lovely book, on my veranda, and forgot about the steaks burning on the grill.
Have you ever found a super silly "miracle offer" that claims to get you fit, thin, or rich? If you care to share with Maudie and her lovely readers that would be...well...lovely! (yes dears...all of my readers are lovely, handsome and smart as hell. It's a miracle offer from Maudie. You read my blog...and it just happens to ya!)
Have a happy Hump Day (Oh deary me. That always makes Maudie blush a bit, but she likes the sound of it anyway.) and also a happy first day of Spring. I think I'll celebrate with a wee bit of wine. Who would've guessed?
Love and kisses and wine corks to you all,
Maudie

If it sounds too good to be true, it is! Funny as always!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Miss Maudie!
