But it&#8217;s on 24\/7.  The people are just so darn perky and excited.  Since it&#8217;s rainy and icky out, the kid and I are stuck inside and it&#8217;s kind of nice to have some happy, perky, excited people around too.<\/p>\n<p>And let me tell you, these people are GOOD.  Not five minutes ago I was convinced I needed to buy a hair piece.  Yes, that&#8217;s right, me.   Chrissieterry.  The woman with more hair than a horse was -this- close to spending 32.50 (plus shipping and handling) on some fake hair to put on top of my already massive amount of hair.  I don&#8217;t know what happened but after two and a half hours of fake ponytails, clippy things with curls, and bobby bits of whispy hair, all hand made with 16-18 colors of the finest sythetic hair available on the market today, I was brainwashed.  Luckily, Leina saved me with her need to nap and the spell was broken with my credit card unscathed.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin was laughing at me for watching HSN this weekend but I ran to the store and when I came back, he was glued to the set and convinced we needed this convection toaster oven that could bake ribs.  Or was it the juicer?  All I know is that I pulled him away before they got to the electronic hour.  That would have been ugly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to head back into the living room.  My plan is to grab the remote and hit the power button before my eyes can process whatever super-value they are hocking right now.   Wish me luck.  But if the next time you see me and I&#8217;m wearing fake hair, please have pity on my and don&#8217;t laugh too loud, ok?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just put Leina down for her nap and those few moments broke the HSN spell.
