You Need This

The day after I gave birth (twice it was actually that I gave birth. I had dang twins you know) my dearest friends McKenna and Chezzie came to see me in the hospital. It was a lovely surprise when they walked in the door but then they threw 3 gift bags in my lap. Huger surprise. The first two bags were for the boys--Itsy Bitsy preemie diapers and coordinating (but not identical) outfits--twins need some individuality I suppose.

The second bag was for me. Inside were all the pampering delights a woman could want. They gave me a bajillion hilarious and wonderful Soap and Glory products. I'd never seen or heard of them before but when I started reading the labels I cracked up. Among them:
and last but certainly not least:


the name of that one had me laughing for nearly and hour.

I can't remember the last time I had had a bubble bath, or slathered my feet in cream. I guess I'm one of those moms from the Suave commercials. You know--the kind who has let herself go. [Gasp!] Oh dear. Anyway, thanks to my friends I have been able to pamper myself just a little more than usual. And its been great. Now, run to Target my friends cause you deserve some of this stuff too!

That sexy mother pucker stuff! That's what I need. It says it is extrememe-formula plumping stuff. I wonder if I use it on my bosom's if it'll help.........

I feel crude even typing motherpucker, but it reminded me of something I saw on T.V.: a lip plumper. Have you heard of it? It's this little device that kind of sucks your lips so that when you're done your lips are kind of swollen (and sexy) for a couple of hours afterwards. So, what if you used both the m.p. and the plumper? Would Dan not even be able to resist you for ONE SECOND? I'm afraid to try it, myself.

That reminds me of that part in "Pure Luck" where (is it Martin Short?) gets stung by a bee in the plane, and he starts blowing up like a balloon, but he's still looking out the window going, "Look at the lush vegetation . . . " as his lips and face swell up. That could be you!!

On another note, we will hold the International Architectural Jelly (or Gelatin) Banquet the moment your boys are old enough to leave the house. Please inform me when that time comes. (I am not joking. Please inform me. I'm already planning my architectural jelly creation. And to further entice you, your little friend Beth can come too.)

My s-i-l wrote to Ginna (was it Ginna?) that she should demand some peppermint soap they sell at Trader Joe's. I am dreaming, now of peppermint soap. but Feet dreams also is entering into my dreams, even as we speak . . .
