In the Shower

Some of my better thoughts come to me as I'm awakening in the morning. Others come when I'm falling asleep. But the best thoughts occur to me in the shower.

Remember when I said that we ought to write as if everyone we know were already dead? Some of you thought that meant that I had wicked ideas about YOU that I was holding back. Nope. The following is one of the things that I would write if everyone I knew were dead. I hope that it makes you laugh. If you don't know very well... you're about to know me better.

I keep a bar of Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado soap in my shower and another in my vanity drawer. Coincidentally, I use the same type of soap on my face and my .. err.. nether regions, hereafter to be called (I don't know what the kids are calling it these days) "my furburger." (LOL my spellcheck thinks that's a misspelling!)

So the bar in my vanity had gotten thin, and I retrieved the bar from my shower and stuck it to the vanity soap. But then, this morning in the shower, I was under the water before I realized that I'd forgotten to put a new bar into the shower! What to do?

I have liquid soap that I use on the rest of me -- two kinds, and I choose between them, depending upon my mood. I have Bath & Bodyworks Energizing Orange/Ginger, and I have Aveda's Calming Lavender. So I pondered. Does a new widow wash her furburger with an energizing soap? Or does she use a calming concoction? I opted for energizing! **insert tiger roar here**

Yesterday was hiking, and we did the Babat Do'Ag trail in the Catalinas. I left in too much of a hurry and forgot, of all things, my camera! But Jack took lots of photos and I took pics last year and... I know. No going back. Bring the camera, dodo bird!

I took my insurance refund check to the Credit Union to deposit it, and, since it was made out to Michael, I had to go back and get a death certificate to deposit it! Sheesh. The annoying thing is that the insurance co made it out to HIM to begin with. *I* was the one who had made the overpayment.

Ok, today's another day, and I'm going to go and live it!

  1. That is hilarious Janee. Definitely a side of you I didn't learn in Photoshop Classes! And furburger... LOL.. I thought my husband was the only person in the world who used that term.

    ... still laughing.

  3. Ok, Sis, you are too funny. I have the total visual!

    Cold and more cold here...-2 this morning. 30 years ago today it was the big snow that kept us all in for a week or more. Aaron was only 1 (almost) and we had no milk. We had to try to get to the next house, yes, house, which was very close, but it was hard to do...we got there and got some milk...no wonder we want to head for the store when the word "snow" is mentioned at all now.

    15 years ago today I started at Dow. Geez, a lot of time has gone by and not sure where it went. We are having bagels here at work to celebrate - whoop.

    Take care and keep these stories rolling so we can keep rolling in our seats!

    Love you lots. Sis.

  4. ummmmm......a visual I really prefer not to have.

    Would much prefer thinking about you thinking about getting back to teaching Photoshop techniques. You know I am taking these 2 CS3 Intro and Intermediate classes at LVS. Well, Sonja and Vikki are okay, but lack your humor. Also, I question their areas of stress. You could do it so much better. I will probably ride you on this forever, so sorry if it bugs you....muahahahahahahahahha.

    Love,
    Kath
