Bits

I like reading ruminations.com.

I read this and went "ewww!"
"Never kiss a newborn...You know where they've been."

I know I know, very mature. But true when you think about it.

And one that's so true, "people who investigate strange noises on horror movies deserve to die".

Oh! That's what you meant!!! *whew*

So I was talking to my mom and she said something. I of course apparently had my mind wallowing in the gutter and thought she meant something I really didn't want to discuss. So I just said I wasn't going to say anything on it. She kept going on. Turns out it was a perfectly innocent and normal thing she was talking about but I just "read" it the wrong way. Oppsie!

Stupid right? But think about it. We have all these colloquialisms and sometimes it's easy to make a mistake. Still . . . I'm glad I didn't launch into what I thought she meant!

Hey Have I Mentioned . . . ?

Have mentioned that so far I'm really please with the Exposed Skincare treatment? It works way better than Skin ID ever did and possibly better than the Proactive did at the beginning. So far I haven't had any problems with Exposed's customer service. In fact I'm tickled that a few days before they process the order to be shipped out, they send you an e-mail notification. The others didn't do that. Now I know responsibly you should know to the minute when you're supposed to be getting your products sent to you, but sometimes it just kinda slips. This way you know that you need to have the address changed, the timing changed, have someone pick the package up while you're out of town, or if you're crazy, cancel your order and not worry about sending things back. (bit of a run-on sentence but it's an informal kind of blog, right?)

Anyway. Guess I should share some details. No, my skin has not magically been transformed into micro pored, airbrushed, supermodel perfection. Yes, I still have acne. But it is better than what it was. Before I started the Exposed, my face was super pebbly and had some of the larger zits, I had the big zits all on my neck, and some acne on my chest and back. My face is a lot better. Sometimes I'll get a somewhat larger zit, but it's more like a something getting rid of gunk that was deeply embedded in my pores. (ewww! right?) Now and then I'll get a larger zit on my jawline or neck but it's one as opposed to being covered. I think my chest and back are better.

Seeing an astetician (Sp????) was overpriced bull. The microderm abrasions left my face looking pretty much the same except for being beat up. If I wanted to have my zits popped, I could do that myself. The take home skin treatments, creams, sprays,and whatever, were no more effective than Proactive and cost waaay more. Well there was the thermal water. I found it on amazon and need to get a bottle. I'm not excited about it because of the skin clearing properties. I like it because it helps congestion. Proactive helped for a year or two but then stopped working. Skin ID never worked.

So, skinwise that's where I am.

So the other day it had been raining for what felt like a long time. I found myself thinking, "Yeah, we need the rain, but maybe it could be a bit more spaced out instead of day after day." Then I had one of those life and book connection moments and remembered a bit from a book I had just read.

Troubled Waters by Sharon Shin

In the book there had been drought through much of the country and the characters had been followed by rain while traveling.

"You must welcome bounty whenever it come, hunti man. It is often inconvenient. But if you insist on accepting it only when it suits your schedule, you will find yourself very poor."

Every time I hear it . . .

Every single time I hear or see the ads for JELL-O Temptations and they say it's the first adult JELL-O product I can't stop my brain from chiming in with "Well, ummm HELLO!!! JELL-O shooters!?!?! Wouldn't they be adult JELL-O?!?!". I know they're not "official" but that's what a little part of my brain keeps doing.
