i'm a billionaire...almost a lot of times

I would be the most awesome inventor if people would just stop coming up with my ideas before me.

Example number one: Three years ago during a swimming phase I went through, I decided that if runners got music, I deserved some too. This spawned my endeavor to invent the underwater ipod. Unfortunately, some turd beat me to it. (uh...*whisper* but thank you for my underwater ipod).

Example number two: Today I was sitting here in deep thought when all of the sudden brilliance struck me once again. "Hey!" I proclaimed, "Wouldn't it be rad to hang a fishbowl on the wall?! And stick a real fish in it?!" Guess what?....
*Sigh* Jerks. But I still want one. Although, do you think this fish lives in a constant state of terror/confusion?

Not to flatter myself, well actually...that is the reason I wrote the post....so yes, in order to flatter myself, I will simply tell you that these examples of things I invented without due credit could go on all night. Color isolation on cameras...floating trampolines... internet on phones... cake flavored ice cream (which certainly sits at the top of the list)...zip on-zip off shorts/pants (not so proud of that one)... were all thought up by the brain of yours truly. Just not at the opportune moment.

I will have you all know, however, that the armpit-lawnmower-sprinkler-face dance move remains a Kristen Muirhead original. Well, I may or may not have had a little help from Vanessa....the 5 year-old.

all very good ideas. . . minus the zip pants. i invented a paging system for tv remote controls. i know there's a couple, mainly ones i've come up with since being a mom, but i'll have to think about it.

just to clarify that i chose to spell it interEnet, but then when al gore stole my idea he called it the internet.

I have two and have yet to see them invented. Now if I tell you I will have to kill you so you don't steal them from me. The first one is a microfreeze (opposite of a microwave) for your melted ice cream in the summer. To basically just make things chilled and frozen faster. The second is a device of some sort to wear on your feet at night to make them soft and moisturized when you wake up in the morning. No more crusty feet :) Somehow lotion and socks just isn't working. So if you ever see these two things invented then just know if was good ol Sister Fisher that came up with it FIRST!
