New Shampoo


Today I bought New Shampoo. I couldn't wait to come home and use it. (And yes, I know that I'm a total dork.) Anyway, I put the baby down for his nap and hopped in the shower. After wetting my hair I read the back of the shampoo bottle. DID YOU HEAR THAT?? I read the back of the bottle. I realized that I do this every time I buy a new brand of shampoo.

The instructions on my new bottle said, "Apply, lather, rinse." I have a feeling that whoever wrote that wanted to write, "Apply, lather, then rinse. You dumbass. WHAT? You were expecting a different instruction? Like maybe the way you use this product changes from time to time?! It is shampoo, you Tool. Wash your fucking head and then go put your helmet back on."

So. I have revealed myself to you as something less than a mental giant. Fine. But my hair is clean. And it smells really good. Plus? I don't really have to wear a helmet. I just made that up.

I totally have it going on....



Clean hair feed to humor-blogs.

thats funny that you mention that because, Aussie shampoo puts funny instructions on their shampoo bottles(i to am guilty of reading the back of the bottle!)

For example my "Catch the Wave" shampoo by aussie states:" IRECTIONS: Apply to wet hair and work it through. Creat a shark fin on the top of your head if you feel like it. then rinse completely, be mindful of the shark of course"

just kinda made me laugh!

I always read the shampoo bottles. I like to read all the ways they can think of to describe the greatness of their product.

Back in my patchouli days when I washed everything and all my bits with Dr. Bronner's I used to enjoy reading his bottles, which were essentially crazy-guy-on-the-subway rants printed on every label in all directions. Every available inch was covered.

Oh, and you aren't a dork; I went home with Dove Go Fresh grapefruit and lemongrass shampoo the other day and immediately went back to Eckerds to see if the came in soap. It does. It smells wonderful.

Wait a minute...you got to wash your hair AND had time to read the bottle in the shower? I'm so jealous!
Shawna:
Aussie shampoo gives Erections? Sounds erotic! Better keep it away from the husband. I might never get him outta the shower!

Shawna - I've never tried the shark fin. I'm more of a "slick it back and put it in a bun on top of my head" kind of gal. I do love Aussie, though...

Marie - This product was no exception...apparently ANY MINUTE NOW my hair will become luxuriously soft and tangle free! I'm super duper excited....

Shieldmaiden - The next time I go to the natural store I'm gonna check that out. I love a crazy-guy-on-the-subway rant as much as the next girl! And thanks for thinking I'm not a dork. I am going to print your reply and staple gun it to my husbands pillow!

Kadi - Not only that...I also shaved my legs! It was everything I thought it could be and SO much more! Taking a shower always seems like such a pain in the ass so I procrastinate doing it. But the second I'm done I feel like a million bucks. Well...not a million. A thousand, maybe???

My shampoo takes it a step further and hits me with "repeat if desired". I don't ever desire to shampoo after I just freakin did.
Does it make my hair cleaner? or just make me buy shampoo more often?

Sheesh!

I'm never excited about the bottle reading or buying new shampoo.
My favorite part is when I come home from work and put my hair down. It smells like I just got out of the shower.

Also, there should be a warning on the bottle that says:
May cause husband and/or random strangers to want to get in your pants.
I like to scream "LIAR!" at my shampoo choices a lot. They talk a big talk, but so far, I've found very few follow through on their promises. Maybe I'm supposed to "repeat".

Florida: The Good. The Bad. The Holy SHIT!!!

So you know...I live in Florida now. The good news is that my southern accent is stronger than ever - I think it was some sort of defense mechanism...of or for what, I have no idea. I definitely miss Atlanta and my friends, though, especially now. Spring in Atlanta is SO beautiful. But Florida is pretty nice, too. We go to the beach at least once a week and we all love having a pool in the backyard. Also, my husband makes me a Planter's Punch every night and I don't even feel guilty by knocking it back - we're on vacation, right?? A couple of weeks ago I was reading the news and saw this weird picture: In case your eyes can't make sense of it, I'll give you a hint. It's not a puppy. I'm guessing it's not an air freshener, either. It is, in fact, a Burmese Python that ruptured and now has a really big dead Alligator sticking out of it's stomach. Oh, and something ate the snakes head off. That's why there is no head there. National Geographic has

Oooohhh...I just LOVE when you wrap it around me... do it again, please?

I had heard that "crack" kills. I just never really believed it until I saw it with my own eyes. (Bless his heart.) About 3 years ago I was 6 months pregnant and had two daughters (aged 4 and 5). We were all traveling from Bellingham, WA to Atlanta, GA with a VERY brief layover in Dallas. We were booked on a major airline that should remain anonymous as they are a bunch of asshats (but they rhyme with "Mamerican Mairlines") and we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 AM in order to catch our 7AM flight. It was Suck City. By the time our car arrived in Seattle my husband and I were barely speaking to each other and the girls had marks on their faces and arms from the backseat smack-down they had while out of our reach. When I went to the counter to speak with the representative she informed me that even though our seats had been purchased many months ago and seat assignments had been given all of that had changed and we were no longer sitting together as a family. I

The Wild and Wonderful World of Animal Butts

Hello, Boys. How're they hangin'?? Several years ago my dad and I were hiking in California. It was a beautiful afternoon and we were on a mountain trail. We came upon some kind of farm that had a fence around it. Suddenly I saw it - a pig lying down with his "sac" squeezed out behind him. It looked as though someone had stuffed two basketballs under his skin. My first thought was, "Holy crap, pigs can get elephantitis??!" This was quickly followed by thought number two which was, "I would give anything to be sharing this experience with anyone but my father ." So I did what anyone could do in such a situation. I took a picture of the pig balls. I decided that I would put it on the cover of my Christmas cards that year and when the card was opened it would say, "Deck the halls...." I haven't done it yet but I will...yes, I will. You may be wondering why I brought this up. It has to do with baboons and Darwin. At the risk of dramatical
