Avon body yogurt and Wal*Mart

I hate the trend of wearing pajama bottoms in public. Pajama's are for SLEEPING not for wearing out in public. And most definitely NOT for wearing in Wal*Mart.

Do the people in your local Wal*Mart dress like they just don't care? Sometimes I am half tempted to go there first thing in the morning in my sleepiness with my hair all a mess and in my worst sweatsuit because I know no one will care and I'll just blend. But then my rational side kicks in and I get showered, do my hair and put on some real clothes.

Like the other day. I treadmilled for an hour (hate it but do it anyway) and then got showered and all dressed. I had on some smart brown pants, adorable shoes, cute shirt and a nice coat. I was all ready to go, until hubby says,

"That lotion smells bad."

Yeah, it did. I bought some blackberry vanilla body yogurt from Avon not too long ago. When I opened it and put it on I thought it smelled like vomit. At that time I had a cold and hubby said it didn't smell bad so I thought maybe it was all the mucus in my nose that was messing up my smeller. So I plugged along and tried it a few more times. Once my cold went away I still thought it smelled.

So now I'm all ready to walk out the door to go to Wal*Mart. I'm dressed so I won't fit in and I smell like vomit.

Maybe no one will notice!

IRA's, knives and pink eye

Mystery shopped today. I know know more about IRA's than I did yesterday. But don't ask me any questions about them because most of what she told me went right over my head! I think my next novel (should I ever get done with this one that is!) will be about a mystery shopper.

A cool story from vacation: My mom's BFF gave her some Cutco knives that she didn't want anymore so my mom gave them to me! I am now the proud owner of two knives that actually cut! I can't believe I lived this long and loved cooking for all these years with such mediocre cutlery. These knives are AWESOME.

Cool God story from this week:

I came home from our trip with a head cold and Monday morning woke up with a very pink gooey itchy eye.

Go ahead, rub your eye...I know one of them is itchy now!

Anyway, I looked it up online to learn more about it and I decided that mine was viral (because of my cold) and not bacterial. Viral usually goes away on its own in 1-2 weeks. So I decided to cancel my Dr appointment and wait it out. I had hubby pray for me.

My eye is all better now! YAY GOD!

Yay because ewww it was gross. Glued shut on Tuesday morning. Yuck. And YAY because I didn't have to go to the dr and pay $$$

When I go to my Dr the insurance pays their share and then my Dr bills me $150 for an office visit. When I called about making an appointment I asked if they could just call something in because I didn't want to have to pay $150 to come in and be told what I already knew just to get an ointment for my eye. The Dr's office told me that it's only $60 for an office visit if I pay in cash!

Now tell me...why do we have insurance?
