Impulse Buy

Warning: this post may be boring to men!

So, I was at Walgreen's trying to fill my prescription for the steroid the dermatologist prescribed. She told me it would be expensive (great!). Walgreen's has to order it. I guess they don't carry it cuz no one can afford to buy it. She also told me to buy this particular lotion because it doesn't have any additives or allergens. Why you ask, because all of the skin on my hands and feet is falling off. Yep, it's just peeling away. It may sound harmless to you but it hurts, hence the reason I will bite the bullet and buy the stupid steroid and lotion. Maybe I'll be asked to do an interview along side A-Rod!

So anyway, while I'm trying to find the lotion, that must have gold in it, I remembered the other day when I was watching The View. Ironically, it was the same day I went to the dermo and was at home waiting for the lawn boy to show. Barbara Walters had her make-up artist demo-ing make-up under $10 that she uses, some on Barbara. There was this lip plumper that she said actually worked. Now, why I would be interested in that kind of product is beyond me except I've noticed that lately I take notice to the stupidest stuff. The label claims it works in 60 seconds.

So, I bought the crap, as an impulse buy, which seems to be a pattern with me lately. (Hey, I could have bought the theater size box of Hot Tamales or the bag of all black jelly beans.) So what do I do? I go home and put it on and stand in front of the mirror to wait for a noticeable difference. What do I hate more than standing in front of the mirror, staring at myself? NOTHING!! I'm not sure if it really works but it is a little tingly. Sort of like eating salsa with chapped lips. You've all been there!

My Latest Hang Up

So, Pretty Girl and I were on the freeway last Saturday, driving to her show that was practically in California! Ok, it wasn't that far away but it was right by Luke Air Force Base. When I drive the freeways I always use cruise control, cuz it's fun but I can't when people are on their phones. You can totally tell when people are on their phones because their speed varies so much. It drives me crazy!!!! And really, who knows what else they are doing at the same time. I can barely drive and sing in the car (the only place I sing and only when I'm alone!). Imagine if I were driving, on my phone and doing other things, whatever that may be! Disaster. I have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time! I usually bite the inside of my cheek.

So, I hope the law is passed that driving while on a cell phone will be outlawed. People - just hang up!

What I Love

I just thought I would share with you stuff I love since most of the time I tell you about stuff I don't love (one, of which, is Valentine's Day!! I hate that day, it's so artificial and all the retailers and restaurants jack up their prices, that's not love).

I love that Pretty Teacher is making a difference in her school despite the administration.

I love that my BFF loves me unconditionally (you know who you are!).

I love that my closest friends value my opinion.

I love that Pretty Girl doesn't mind that I overcook, or burn, her dinner. She pretends it's perfect and thanks me.

I love that Pretty Teacher thinks I'm funny.

I love that my friend Brien doesn't point out to me that I'm not as tech savvy as I think I am.

I love that Pretty Girl keeps to herself that she thinks I'm ready to be committed (even though I know she thinks that).

I love that my friend Bobby and I hate the same things (and people!).

Favorite Thing of the Week

The Food City radio commercials! Ya gotta hear em!

The Grammys #2

So, thanks to Pretty Teacher for clearing up the mystery:

Album of the year is an album (whole CD), record and song of the year are both individual songs. Song is a songwriter's category and goes to the lyricist. Record is the whole package and goes to the performers and producers.

I could have looked it up but, yes, I'm just that lazy!

(Yes, that's her $1,000 Manolo!) (I guess technically, that one is worth $500 because it has a mate.)

The Grammys

I am so confused. What is the difference between Best Album and Best Record? I was talking to Pretty Teacher last night and asked her that question. She didn't know either. I was telling her that, technically, there is no such thing as a record anymore so....WTF?

We went on to bash some of the winners and others attending. The bashing was so petty that even I won't repeat it but it included Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift.

I Hear the Fat Lady Singing!

Are you kidding me?!?! The Cardinals lost. What more is there to say? Why are we prolonging The Office? What more is there to say about the loss. I don't care how many analysts you bring in, you can't change the outcome. BRING ON THE OFFICE! WTF?
