Smooth as My Baby's Bottom

I meant to post this weeks and weeks ago, but then things happened.  Like Christmas.  And friends coming over.  And other distractions.  Anyway, here it is now.

I just used the most amazing sugar scrub!  Okay, I can't really say it's the most amazing, as it's the first one I've ever tried, but OH. MY. GOSH.  My face has never, ever, ever felt so smooth, soft, and amazing.  Best thing? I had everything it called for in my kitchen.  It was so simple to make!  The ingredients are sugar, olive oil and . . . . . .


wait for it. . . . . . .


. . . . . . a drop of vanilla extract (I used flavoring).


Really truly!  That's it!  1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil and a drop of vanilla extract.  I think the vanilla is in there to make it smell nice, more than anything else.  You could easily replace that with any essential oil you want to use.  And you're in business!  Just remember, when you use any kind of scrub, you don't need to tread carefully.  Don't make your face bleed or anything, but there is no need to be super gentle (just avoid the eye area).  The more dead skin you can scrub off, the longer the effects will last.  Then, hop in the shower to rinse (or just do it over the sink, but the shower is easier and less messy).  I wouldn't even bother with washing your face; you want to leave that lovely moisturizing oil on your face.  If you feel the need, rub a little of your favorite moisturizer on after your shower, or a little more olive oil.  Your skin will feel AMAZING, I promise!

Though I Should Probably Change it to Going to Bed at a Decent Hour

Just Peachy-Keen, Thanks For Asking!

Doe anyone else out there make themselves do things they normally wouldn't do when they are sick?  Not like, going to bed earl, or resting, or eating chicken noodle soup, or trusting that someone else will take care of the dishes.  I mean doing things like staying up later, cleaning and/or organizing more, going out, etc.

Just me?

I know I'm not the only one who won't take medicine when I'm sick.  At least, I don't until a few days in and I'm absolutely miserable and I'm just too tired and miserable and stuffy and achy to argue with The Man about it anymore.  You know, when it's too late for it to really do much.  I get yelled at a lot when I'm sick.

How about feeling guilty when you're sick?  About everything?  The fact that you can't go to work (even though  you played hooky last weekend so you could go ice-blocking), or the fact that you can't do more for meals than stare at the oven before getting out the cold cereal, or just making everyone get it from the cupboard themselves.  Or the fact that you can't manage to put on two matching socks, let alone decent clothes when you get up to shuffle to the bathroom.

I know that can't be just me.  Us Americans are supposed to have immune systems of STEEL!  That's the next video in that "..... of STEEL" workout series.  Kind of an underground thing.  You have to be in the know about the black market to have heard of it (I haven't tried it, as I'm not much for exercise).

How about eating nothing but CRAP when you're sick?  Because THAT'S going to make you feel better for SURE.  Forget toast and broth, bring on the pizza and hamburgers!  I mean, if I'm going to act like a slug, I really want to BE a slug!

Being sick is about the only time I wish that The Man had another wife.  Or two.  Maybe three.  The first one could clean, the second could take care of Baby Cakes, and the third could play video games with me, or change out my movies.  But only when I'm sick.  I'm not sharing that sweet piece of man-sauce!  Hands off!

I also get rambly and incoherent when I'm sick.

Can't you tell?

SOMETHING ABOUT ME YOU NEVER WANTED TO KNOW!!!!


Oops, can't do it.  The questions are saved on my lappy.  Sorry folks, you'll just have to wait until I remember to post something again.  I'm sure you can make it.
