I See You're Cool
Man. It's hot. And we don't have central A/C, so we have to haul the window units out of storage and have the landlord install them. It's too hot for that much activity. I passed the day alternately lying in the hammock, reading and working on my tan, and clearing out the basement, where it is still nice and cool. I tried some of that new lotion that is a moisturizer + self-tanning lotion, hoping to even out some of my more unusual tan lines acquired in Cancun. I dislike self-tanners because of the smell. I sniffed all the self-tanning moisturizers and settled on Jergens because it smelled the least like self-tanning lotion. Cheeky lotion: the nice smell wears off after application, then the self-tanning smell emerges and follows me around. So disappointing. While at cooking school, I developed a keen sense of smell, and have since found almost all scented things intolerable. I buy all lotions, deodorants, soaps, etc. in their unscented varieties. Why don't they make unscented shampoo or conditioner? I usually go for the one that smells most like soap and least like flowers/fruit/perfume. Did you know that I wash my hair only twice a week? It's true.
Dinner last night: cherry chicken salad
Dinner tonight: leftover meatloaf
Comments
A) Cherry Chicken Salad? Sounds tasty!
B) Twice a week? Really? Probably why you have more luxurious and thicker hair than I do. White Mackerel is almost bald.
C) I'm with you on the perfumes in everything. My Search for Unscented Candles was arduous.
D) I'm having back surgery Monday, and will be making a pastisio as it will last for at least an entire week whilst I recover. It's a tasty Greek dish, and with Orthodox (REAL) Easter next weekend, you might want to try it :-)

A) Not only did the cherry chicken salad *sound* tasty, but it *tasted* tasty too, in a good way. Gentleman Caller liked it like more than a friend. It's a recipe from the restaurant where I used to work.
B) It's laziness, really, that leads to such healthy hair. Yesterday I was at the mall and heard a girl say to another girl, "Omigod! Your hair looks super-cute! Did you get highlights?" I wondered what it would feel like to say those words, but I just can't bring myself to say that to someone. It's the "super-cute" that get lodged in my throat.
C) Maybe I should invent an unscented perfume. Will look/smell/feel suspiciously like water.
D) I assume this back surgery is for your sciatica? Good luck with that. I have your recipe for pastisio. I'll make it next weekend too.

re: easter eating -- does it seem weird to anyone else that in order to "celebrate" Easter and its attendant symbols of new life and resurrection such as little bunnies and eggs and lambs, we EAT these things? So yay for new life and baby animals so let's go out and grab that fluffy lamb and gut it and roast it and eat it and digest it? Isn't that kind of sick? Why can't we just feast on Cadbury and leave the killing and factory farms out of it?
