I Like to Smell Like Food
On Saturday, me and PJ went over to Mom's house for a lesson in making Swedish pancakes. I'm not sure if we retained any information, but we got to eat Swedish pancakes, and that's what counts.
Afterwards, we walked over to a big Antique Fair they had going on in the town square. And what did I buy? A BARBIE! Natch!
Rule #2 in Barbie Collecting: If you find a Malibu Barbie that only needs a shower and a brushing to restore her to her original beauty, and you find her for under $15, BUY HER. Got mine for five bucks. She showered with me this morning.
(Since you asked... Rule #1 in Barbie Collecting: Barbie hates that crocheted crap your grandma made for her. I'm sorry, but she's a bitch that way, and there's just no arguing with her.)
I also got some Royal Coppenhagen plates for, like, 1/3 of their book value! Which is only exciting if you, too, are Scandihoovian and retarded. When Younger Step Daughter goes away to college, her room is becoming the Scandihoovian Guest Room. Catholics who have converted to Lutheranism don't count.
I'm kidding! Gol! You Catholics are soooooo touchy!
When Older Step Daughter leaves for college -- IN TWO MONTHS!!! -- her room is becoming my Barbie Office. I should probably warn her at some point...
Anyhoo, we saw this guy drinking a Starbucks Frappuccino, and upon recognizing our lust, he goes, "It's a new flavor! Mint chocolate chip!" Well, that clinched it. We had caffienated calories for elevensies.
Then we walked over to the Farmers Market and spent half an hour with under-the-boob sweat running down our stomachs, waiting in line at the cheese tent. But it was TOTALLY worth it because they had GARLIC DILL CHEESE CURDS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! And? Cheese Guy was totally adorable! I want to be his little cheese maiden and frolic in the meadow with him and his goats.
Uh... sorry... what was I talking about?
I don't remember. But I know I was on a whole shopping theme, so I'll just continue with that.
Yesterday, Anne and I hit the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale for yummy, half-off, smelly things! I got some body lotion in Warm Vanilla Sugar, Sun-Ripened Raspberry, Apple Martini and Black Raspberry Vanilla. Are you seeing a trend here? I like to smell like food!
I'm particularly in love with my new Cucumber Watermelon Shower Scrub, but I can't find it on their website, and now I'm terrified that it's some discontinued product that they were getting rid of, and now I have to go back and BUY IT ALL!!! Hmmm, maybe Nicholle will come with me...?
I'm just so enamored with my skin right now. It's all smooth and yummy. I just want to smell and touch myself all day. Which isn't as erotic as you might hope. But a co-worker did say Good Morning to my legs earlier, so I must be lookin' good!
