What, doesn’t your soap smile at you?
So today, with the cold-fog more or less cleared from the brain and in the stark light of day, I got a good look at the sink in the upstairs bathroom. Euuwww, in a word. And since the bathroom fairies are obviously hanging out with the dinner fairies in a galaxy far, far away, I hauled out the Soft Scrub and the Lysol cleaner and had at it. Wasn’t until I was putting everything back in place on the sink, however, that I noticed our Olay soap had been embellished — I assume in keeping with the most recent holiday theme — with a broad grin and two cute little snaggle teeth.
The resulting chuckle made up, at least somewhat, for the missing Windex. Why the Windex is missing, I have no idea, since it’s not as if any of the usual suspects ever actually clean.
Officially started Christmas shopping yesterday. Online, of course. God, however did I manage in the days before Click and Spend? Not that I don’t enjoy the occasional foray into the brick-and-mortar madness, especially in those last, heady days before the Big Day itself — something about that glazed, frantic look in everybody’s eyes just says “Christmas” like nothing else — but I sure do love opening the door every few days to the Fed Ex or UPS guy and having Christmas delivered to me.
Realized that Thanksgiving is two weeks from Thursday. How the hell did that happen???
Hi Karen *waves*
Love the soap description. As for the windex, mine usually ends up in the garage because the husband doesn’t consider cleaning his truck windows “housework”…and I think he believes the blue bottles lined up on his garage shelf is a decorative touch.
I’m ignoring any mention of Christmas shopping.
