Bzz Review: The Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookie

As a Bzz Agent, I am given the opportunity to try different products. This time I was given 2 packages of The Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookie from Kroger.
These cookies are good. I mean really good. Out of the two boxes of cookies, I was able to eat 2. Yes, only 2. The other cookies were eaten by both my husband and my daughter. Angela really, really liked these. She'd take 2 and put them in the microwave for about 10 seconds then dip them in milk and eat 'em. Hubby just ate them out of the package, but still dipped them in milk.
I've been told that I have to make a trip to our local Kroger and find another box of these cookies.

I don't know the cost of the cookies, but I don't think they'll be too expensive. I'm also wondering if they have other Truly Awesome Homestyle cookies. I'd like some gingerbread and maybe some oatmeal.

The Litigators Review

As a Bzz Agent, I was lucky enough to receive a copy of John Grisham's new legal thriller, The Litigators to read and review.
From John Grisham's website about The Litigators:
The partners at Finley & Figg—all two of them—often refer to themselves as “a boutique law firm.” Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance chasers who’ve been in the trenches much too long making way too little. Their specialties, so to speak, are quickie divorces and DUIs, with the occasional jackpot of an actual car wreck thrown in. After twenty plus years together, Oscar Finley and Wally Figg bicker like an old married couple but somehow continue to scratch out a half-decent living from their seedy bungalow offices in southwest Chicago.
And then change comes their way. More accurately, it stumbles in. David Zinc, a young but already burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown firm, goes on a serious bender, and finds himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he’s suddenly unemployed, any job—even one with Finley & Figg—looks okay to him.
With their new associate on board, F&F is ready to tackle a really big case, a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to actually practice much law. An extremely popular drug, Krayoxx, the number one cholesterol reducer for the dangerously overweight, produced by Varrick Labs, a giant pharmaceutical company with annual sales of $25 billion, has recently come under fire after several patients taking it have suffered heart attacks. Wally smells money.
A little online research confirms Wally’s suspicions—a huge plaintiffs’ firm in Florida is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of people who have had heart attacks while taking Krayoxx, convince them to become clients, join the class action, and ride along to fame and fortune. With any luck, they won’t even have to enter a courtroom!
It almost seems too good to be true.
And it is.

I have read all, or almost all, of John Grisham's books, and I found this one a little different from his other legal thrillers. First, this one was a bit funny, and I actually laughed out loud. Then there are 2 of the main characters that make up the Finley & Figg law firm that I just don't really like. I think I should, but I don't... I do like the other main characters though.
I won't give anything away, but The Litigators is worth reading, especially if you like Grisham's other books and/or legal thrillers.

One Sock, Two Socks....

Those of you with children, and even those of you without kids, probably all know the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. It's one of Dr. Suess's most famous, after Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. Here is my homage to both socks and Dr. Suess....(through the first 17 pages of his book).



One Sock Two Socks....







One Sock





Two Socks









Red Sock









Blue Sock





















Black Sock









Blue Sock











Old Sock







New Sock

















This one has little stars









This one has a train car

(okay, so it's an engine, give me some creative leaway)







Say, what a lot socks there are!



Yes, some are red,

Some are Pooh,



Some are old,

And some are Tigger too.











Some are a fad





Some make you glad























Ang's socks are very, very rad.

















Why are they a fad, glad, and rad?

I do not know,

Just don't show her dad.







Some are thin







And some are fat.

















The fat one is a big brown cat.








From there to here

From here to there

Angela's socks

are everywhere.





Here are some

Just for fun







And some when

She has to run







Oh my! Oh me!

Oh my! Oh me!

What a lot of

socks I see.











Some are two socks





And some are four

Some are six socks

Though there may be more.









Where do they come from?

Ang's room I say

I don't think some have ever

Seen the light of day.





I see Ang come

I see Ang go

Why her socks don't match

I will never know.





Her socks knee high







Her socks real low











Not one pair is like another

Don't ask me why

I am just her mother.
