1. I had a lady on the massage table the other day who answered her phone seven times during the middle of her massage. Five of those times, it was to tell the person on the other end of the line that she was in the middle of a massage. Now, people can do whatever they want during a massage, but good grief, she was paying $75 to relax and didn't even enjoy it. Seriously, people, just turn it off. The world will not end if you don't answer your cell phone. Really.
2. In case you didn't know, I'm obsessed with coconut oil. I took some to work a couple of weeks ago. I use it during the middle of a massage when I need a little pick-me-up. This week, I massaged a man with the most outstanding man sweater I've ever seen. I felt a little tired by the time I got to his back, so I rubbed on the coconut oil. That, combined with his back hair and whatever cologne he was wearing made it smell just like sheep wool. It was not nice.
3. I'm doing an outside event for the Red Cross tomorrow with Big Mike. I'm so excited.
4. Husband and I were discussing the best ways to fry chicken this evening when we turned around to find that no one was watching Baby Girl. Guess where we found her? At the very top of the stairs, sucking her lips. Someone, and I'm not going to mention names (me) forgot to put the gate up to block off the hall.
5. I just finished reading The Help. I loved it. Oh, and did I mention that I read it on my Kindle. No? Well, I totally did.
6. Is there a rule that a green pepper plant can only grow one green pepper at a time? My pepper plant has seven green peppers on it, but only one of them is getting bigger. All the other ones seem to be rotting from the inside out.
7. I'm dying to meet people who will invite me to do things like this. I asked Husband if he wanted to host a Kentucky Derby party - where all the women wear hats, we take wagers, make something to take the place of a mint julep, and serve Kentucky Hot Browns. He looked at me like I was nuts.
8. I am so tired of sweating. I've mentioned it before, but I might be the sweatiest girl I've ever known in my entire life. It's probably 65 degrees in my massage room. And still, I sweat. And the Texas humidity doesn't ever allow me to dry. So I sit, with sweat running down my back, trying not to let my client know that I'm mopping sweat off my brow before it drips on them. It's so gross. Oh, and also, I need a new deodorant. All of you other sweaters out there, what's the best deodorant you've tried?? I've used Secret and Degree and neither one works.
9. I have these little hairs - I don't know if they're hairs that have broken off or new growth since I had Carolyn, but they're super annoying. I try and try to pin them down but mostly I just end up looking disheveled ALL THE TIME. If I straighten them, they're just long enough to look like the bangs I cut myself when I was twelve - yeah, the ones that stuck straight out and made me look like I had forehead antennae. But believe me, even as forehead antennae, it's better than when it's curly. Unfortunately, my hair will never stay straight...again, it's the stupid Texas humidity.
10. Husband got his cap and gown yesterday!

Old Spice. I'm a big time sweater - and Old Spice Sport Stick never lets me down. Then again, on a woman, it may not be as appealing. But in a blind test of Old Spice, women all loved it and wanted to buy it to wear - that's according to a forum I just looked up on the topic. donna255 says so. (here's the link to the forum:
And it's not like you're a guy having to by tampons for your wife. You won't even get a weird look - Well as long as you buy it with something else like your normal haul of groceries. If you just buy Old Spice and Licorice you're gonna get some strange looks. Gotta be smart about it. But, like anyone is gonna know that you're planning on using it on yourself...
I use Old Spice High Endurance Deodorant Long Lasting Stick, Pure Sport (UPC 012044000281, to be specific).
I figure, boys presumably need more protection given their [stereotypically]higher activity level and the arm pit fluff they need to keep from stinking up the world, so whatever they use must be pretty powerful.
Pure Sport is the only one I know of that works for me...the others I've tried have left me smelling like a yucky little boy.
My ultimate anti-stink plan requires that I shower, put on undies and deodrant, and then a t-shirt. I wear the t-shirt for the duration of my morning routine, until it's time to change into my real outfit. The shirt mops up all excess deodorant and any surprise skin juices that result from application of deodorant. If I don't wear the extra shirt, I smell weird all day long.
I would love to have a Kentucky Derby party with you! I think that would be so much fun!!
I have those little hairs too. I always thought they called them "baby hairs" because they were small like a baby. But I'm pretty sure it's because you get them after you have a baby! I have mine on my forehead, by by ears, and along the nape of my neck. Not so attractive! Oh well. I suppose they'll grow. It will only take 4 years or so with my slow growing hair...
Seriously, Women's deodorant sucks. I haven't used women's since like freshman year of high school because it just didn't work. My favorite right now is Men's Degree Sport- I don't use antiperspirant because it is a major skin irritant for me- so I only use the gel deodorant stick. When I did use the antiperspirant it totally worked- even when I was running 3+ miles in the Texas summer mornings. I never smelled like a homeless person. Or an unwashed hippy.
I'm so glad other people admit to this problem! I actually went to my doc and got a prescription for Drysol. Its a crazy strong antiperspirant that you put on at night. I only use it once in a while and it stops the faucets from running under my arms, yes even when I'm cold I sweat. You can use it wherever you want (I think). But seriously, if you use that stuff, you can use whatever deodorant you want because you probably won't sweat at all where you put it. 'Tis miraculous.
I just read The Help within the past month and loved it too! (Didn't read it on my Kindle 'cause I'm cheap like that). The "po' boy" part had me laughing out loud! That would be a great discussion book too -- speaking of which, Jeff had to listen to me go on about it for at least an hour. :)
my sister got some prescription deodorant, she asked her doctor for a prescrip and now she doesn't get "tacos" apparently the name for sweaty armpits on the shirt..
