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".

And The Winner Is...

I have some very exciting news. For the first time ever the Blog of Bex is giving out an award . Yes, I know. I can feel my heart pounding, too. I will call it the Bite My Ass Award (BMAA) and I'm sure it will be coveted. Now you might be wondering just who will be the lucky recipient. Could it be Diesel, the mastermind of Humor-Blogs and Mattress Police , who - for reasons unknown to me - revamped the scoring system and and reset my score to zero? Nope. This action has actually mysteriously seemed to work in my favor. I'm sure it's temporary. ANYWAY, on to the big news. I hereby give my BMAA to this guy: Handsome little fucker, isn't he? His name is James Jackson, IV and his friends call him Jay. I like to call him Fucktard because I believe that your name should say something about the kind of guy you are. And he's a total fucktard. What, you may wonder, did he do to generate such ire from me? Well I'm so glad you asked. He owns two boutiques in suburban At...

Pervy McPervert strikes again!

When I was a kid I used to make the occasional prank call. But then I turned 13 and decided that it was a fairly retarded way to spend ones time. I've also received a few "heavy breathing" calls in my day. My mom finally bought us a whistle and said that whenever "he" called that we were to blow the whistle as loud as we could into the phone. That worked although I do wish she had specified that before blowing the whistle I should take the receiver away from my head as my ear made this weird ringing noise for days afterward. But it got rid of the pervert. It's a new day, however, and perverts must be looking for new ways to annoy us. Twice today someone has texted a picture to me. I have no idea who he is or what the hell he wants. But he must think that I don't know that sometimes shirtless men squeeze their arms against their chest to give the appearance that they actually have biceps when, in fact, their arms really look like toothpicks that are broke...

Protesting at Funerals: A Look at the Deranged and Demented

I normally like to write about funny things. (At least they are things that I find funny.) They are usually attempts to be funny in a ha-ha kind of way, although sometimes I will throw in something that's funny in a weird way, just to shake things up. But what I want to write about now isn't funny at all. It is shocking and horrific. There was a girl from my home town who was murdered at Auburn University last week. Her name was Lauren Burk and she was 18. She went to our local high school and although I didn't know her many of my friends children did. She's being buried today. Her family is, naturally, heartbroken. It was a random, tragic and violent attack. That's really bad enough. My husband drove by the funeral home yesterday and noticed that there was a small army of Harley Davidson riders holding American flags. They appeared to be guarding the memorial service. It turns out that they were asked to be there to protect the family because a group called the We...
