So I went to the store yesterday and got a new kind of face lotion. I was so excited to use it this morning. My hands were a little slippery and i struggled to open it. I kept trying, and unfortunately was unsuccessful. Not only that, I cut my finger trying to open it.

is that a bad omen? Should I just return it now!

I would definitely return it - but wait, that's a hassle.

Maybe you should just throw it away instead and just be mad for a little while.

I feel your pain. My husband just bought me some expensive perfume for my birthday. Now - I also have "regular, everyday" perfume (aka cheap perfume). So I have to plan accordingly each day - and I really need to know if I'm going to be stuck "out" all day and then end up going out to eat with my husband - in which case I'd prefer to be wearing my "husband" perfume rather than the cheapo stuff I just splash on most days.

Decisions, decisions.

Oh and GET THIS. The other day I left my house and I had all sorts of important errands to run, some of which actually required me to come across as someone with a bit of sophistication (at least, that's how I saw it). And I totally forgot to wear earrings. That's right - and I was so strapped for time between appointments that I didn't have time to stop and buy any earrings (I have been known to do that in a pinch). So I had to run around all day long sans earrings.

Ye gods.

I'm spending way too much time on this website and way too much time in P&OC. The weather needs to clear up so I can get back to goose hunting.

So I had a napkin and was able to open it. I tried it today and my skin looks awesome on day one! It should work well for my intended purpose.

So I think I'll keep it. And use gloves when it is time for a refill.

And definitely comment on their mold for the lid. Should not remotely be that sharp. Overly fancy lid design. This bottle is quite huge, so at least I have a while before I will need more.

What is P&OC? Orange County?


This earthquake repair is really NOISY. There's too much dust on the lounge chairs at the pool. Guess I'll have to take a beach walk.


As for earrings....no one has ever noticed my ears aren't pierced. I think I'm the only female with intact earlobes. Hey, I think I will ask on Fashion and Beauty....(or the lack thereof)

Politics might be the P - not sure about the OC.


My stylist cut my short hair a little too short. Now more of my forehead shows and I have to groom my eyebrows much more than usual.

The electric seat heater in my truck is playing with me. When it is really cold, I push the button, it goes on and then back off in a few seconds. If it is relatively warm it works find. It is clear to me the computer that runs my truck has become sentient and decided to just mess with me.

My kids and I call those things "rump roasters." As in , "It's cold in here - let's turn on the rump roasters!"

My first world problem today is that our deductible with our health insurance started all over again so when I went to pick up my husband's prescriptions (he has the flu), they cost $160.

My other first world problem is actually living with a man with the flu.

When I am sick, I want to be left alone. I understand why animals crawl off into the woods to die. I don't want anyone petting on me, or waking me up to check on me, or bringing me food in bed, or anything like that. And God knows, if I'm throwing up, I for damn sure don't want anyone standing there holding my head or patting me on the back. LEAVE ME ALONE.

Not a sick husband. Oh no. I have never in my life heard more carrying on. Groaning, moaning, coughing and then gasping weakly, "Oh lord help me..." And he's in an upstairs bedroom because we're having our master bathroom remodeled and so we moved upstairs. Well. He will call weakly from upstairs and when I go up there he says, "I could use some soup." Use it for what? Honestly, are you going to eat soup in bed? That just doesn't sound like a very good idea.

When I took him to the doctor, he went into the upstairs bathroom and got dressed and then came down - and of course left the light on AND the exhaust fan running. And this is the third time in 24 hours that he's done that. Honestly, I know you're sick, but does this mean you can't manage to turn off a light?

I really don't get it. I know one thing though - I want this man to get well.

I had a flu shot (he didn't) and according to our doctor, the flu shot was for the correct strain this year so I probably won't get this mess. But if I do - I will take care of myself. And that's the way I want it to be.
