Magical Ostrich Pillow

I saw this on one of the blogs I read.  This puts the pillowig to shame.  This is for a serious napper. So what would you choose?  Between the little neck pillow, the proper pillow from the bed or this guy?  I think I would go with this guy for novelty sake.  I love my sleep, but I don't know that I have ever been so undaunted to think something like this is necessary.  Although, I might have been very useful in college in the library or cafe where I would often find myself napping, nay, sleeping.   So who does this appeal to?  the Midwestern undaunted sleepy traveler, the bi-coastal actor facing the red eye?  I need some one to buy it and report back.

Traveling Pants



You Guys! I have made an amazing discovery.  This little thing will make your traveling so wonderful.   I just purchased several new pairs of pants that I now deem my "traveling pants" (sorry, not the pants from the movie).  I am now teaching a lot of Music Together classes, which basically consists of me sitting on my knees or cross legged on the floor, with a baby or two crawling on me, whilst singing and/or dancing.  Needless to say, jeans or a dress aren't really great ideas for this kind of work, and while I love a yoga pant, I still can't bring myself to "work" in them.  So, I was on the hunt for a comfortable pant, that has some stretch, that has a back pocket so I can slip my pitch pipe in there, that looks like a proper pant but feels like a pajama.  And guess what?  Uniqlo has them! Not only does Uniqlo have them, but they have them for $20. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go buy these pants.  I bought a black pair, a pink pair (see below) a purple pair, a navy corduroy and a red corduroy.  And as a bonus, I can already tell that they are going to be heavenly to travel in.  They don't look fantastic up close - you know like that line in "Clueless" - "She's a full-on Monet.  From far away, it's ok, but up close, it's a big old mess." Yeah that's definitely these pants.   You definitely need to obscure the elastic waistband with a longer shirt, and for the love of God, please hide the fake pockets in the front.  But, there is no zipper and they fit like leggings but are seriously pant.  Get some traveling done in these pants immediately!
