Observations and stuff

ok so this is gonna be a hodge podge of stuff and i'm ok with that ... so saddle up - here we go.

a friend of mine said to me the other day that i struck him as the type of person that has 30 different bottle of stuff in the shower ...now i assure you this was not intended in a bitchy way ( or if it was i refused to take it as such ... cause i like it when i come out looking good in the stories - this should not be new information ) ANYWAY ... so i'm in the shower this morning - and as i'm letting the conditioner do it's thing ( sidebar - i could write PAGES on the love of conditioner ... but anyway ) so i'm looking around and i counted 28 bottles in the shower. Now those of you who have been to my house know that my shower is one of those smallish glass showers with the seperate garden tub ... and yet between shampoo, conditioner, body scrubs, body oils, body wash, feet scrubbin' stuff, face wash, and shaving stuff .... 28 bottles.... keep in mind that doesn't include what's on the shelf that i'm not "using" at the moment, what's in the other bathrooms, or what's on the tub .... damn - that's a lot of stuff .....

oh and get this... ok we've established that i love the bath products ... i love hair products too ( it's the curse of the fat girl who can't lose a buttload of weight by tomorrow, but as God as my witness, my hair, nails, makeup, accessories,and clothes can be PERFECT daily ) anyway - i tend to be loyal to no one brand - but i am a bit of a snob - i won't use just anything ..... so this weekend i'm staying at a friends house and all she has is dandruff shampoo and suave products. I'm generally not a suave girl - ....but that may change soon. I used it and my hair was FANFUCKINGTASTIC .... so i bought some ( green apple, thank you very much ) later that night i got together with the quasi-new boy who could NOT stop talking about how good my hair smelled and how soft it was ..... AND I HAD SPENT A TOTAL OF $1.78 on the shampoo and conditioner ..... sheesh .... oh well - good to know .. i could have saved SO much money - cause trust me - Matrix is WAY more than 89 fucking cents!

ok what else - so i'm driving to work this morning - listening to the Dixie Chicks and singing along at the top of my lungs until i see something that stopped me COLD.....so you know those self-employed people who advertise on their own cars .... well evidently i was in traffic behind a personal trainer ( while i was eating a pop tart and making MMMMMMMM good noises just for spite ) when i saw the tag line "fitness results start when you do" ok - i can get with that .... here's the part that stopped me ... it was his web page addy

NAMEdothard.com

is it just me - or does that name scream porn????

just wondering ....


i considered writing about American Idol today - but i thought lots of people were going to do that - so i'm taking a pass....

ok and here's the last traffic report for the day - i was almost in town today and i noticed a car to my right - glanced over and i saw a dreamcatcher hanging off the rear view window.

huh?

those are for sleep.

driving is not for sleep.

case closed.

Okay, so you convinced me. I have been putting off trying the Suave. People keep telling me it's good and cheap but I never trusted them. However you, having 28 bottle in the shower, know of what you speak so I'm picking some up today.

One other thing, scary, bi-polar, Sybil, from American Idol will kill Simon soon. I bet she's stalking him right now.

dreamcatcher - car - hehehehe

I read somewhere that for people with skinny hair (and I know that you have 14 lbs of hair, this is going somewhere) should use a 2-in-1 shampoo. Me, my hair being the only skinny I own, tried this Dove stuff and it is the total bomb and fairly cheap too! After I used it someone asked me what I had done because my hair looked REALLY good. My point? Expensive may not always be better.
I've also heard that you should change shampoo's periodically because of the residue that builds up. I don't know about that....
Anyway, I'm rambling so, HI!

Suave!?!? Who knew.... I spent $60 the other day for shampoo, conditioner, fixative and other assorted goo from Aveda. Suave? You're kidding right? I dare you to go count the # of bottles of stuff under you vanity that aren't in the shower, you'd probably keel over. I swear we're long lost sisters, your curse cracked me the fuck up. Right on girl!

I spent an extra dollar on the Herbal Essenses because in the commercials all the women have orgasms. It makes showering more funner.
