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....

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".

The Dunkin Donuts Dilemna

I am always amazed when I leave my home in the early hours of the morning and there are people out and about. I can barely see the runners (as the sun isn't yet passed the horizon) but they are hoofing it up the hill. Don't these people know that they should be home - in bed - snuggled up???! So you can imagine my surprise when, at 6AM, I saw the impressive line at my local Dunkin Donuts. But we were heading out of town on a road trip with 3 little kids (all under 8) and a 2 month old puppy. I know what you are thinking...WHY??! We very anxiously wanted to travel for a little bit of more pain - AKA my 20th High School reunion. Maybe more on that later... As if this all weren't bad enough, my husband and I had been to a party the night before and I had just the slightest headache. So I needed coffee and like all reasonable people I went to the Dunkin Donuts because their coffee is THE BEST coffee anywhere! Starbucks can kiss my lilly white! But I digress... So I get in the l...

A Housewife's Dirty Confession...

I have Vaseline underneath my right index finger nail. No amount of soap and water seems to vanquish it. Sshhhhh. Don't tell anyone, K? Because that could lead to awkward questions. But I'll tell you what - today, just for shits and giggles, let's skip the questions completely and just go to the answers. And, GO. Projectile vomiting. One massive pile in the doctor's waiting room. Once in the car. Twice at home. Yes, that IS a lot of puke for a two year old. Anal suppositories. TWICE. No I am not honoring my pledge to lay off of the cosmo's for a while and fuck you for bringing that up after the day I've had. Did this make you smile? Or were you just envious that you didn't get to spend the morning pinning down a pissed off and puking two year old long enough to further enrage him by shoving a suppository up his ass? (thought so) Either way, feel free to click my HB smiley below. And, as always, if you're shopping around for funny blogs this is the pl...

Light a match!

You know, people are getting so touchy these days. I just read this news story about a THIRTEEN year old kid who got arrested. When I saw the headline I thought, "Man, this country is going to hell in a hand basket. What did this criminal mastermind DO, anyway?? Did he steal a car? Get his moms attention by throwing a cleaver at her head? Sexually assault his little sibling??" Noooo.... No, this kid farted in school. And then got arrested. Apparently I went to school with a bunch of felons and didn't even know it. Besides, have you seen what they feed these kids in school lunchrooms?? And "The Man" is going to blame intestinal distress on HIM??! Let's file this under "Give Me A Fucking Break, Please." The teacher said that he was purposefully farting and therefore disrupting the class. Plus? This little fucker turned off a few computers that his friends were working on. I think it would be far more incredible if you could find me a 13 year old who...
