I was refactoring my model specs so that they don't hit the database,

What's wrong with hitting the database?
When high-end consultants like Mike Feathers tell you not to hit the database,
what they are really saying is that programmers using big iron languages like
C++ or Java should start decoupling by any means necessary. It's just a mind-game.
At the other extreme, systems like Rails and its test fixtures have illustrated
how you can leverage the database for a pool of stub objects. It doesn't lead to
bad design, or slow tests down.
