Maybe She IS Psychic!

Coupla thoughts:

  • I was just looking for something in my archives, and I found an old entry that mentions that the Singing Psychic told the WXLO morning team that the Red Sox would dominate the Yankees in 2004.

    Wow, was she ever right! I’m going to really have to pay attention to her from now on…
  • It shouldn’t be this hard to find out when sign-ups are for the North Leominster Little League. People, it’s 2005. Let’s get some web sites out there!
  • The Leominster Youth Soccer league apparently let the domain lapse. So what was a pretty useful web site for soccer info is now one of those placeholder web marketing sites. I’d go re-grab the domain for them, but I don’t think Junior wants to play spring soccer, so I’m not sure it’s appropriate for me to own the domain. I need to figure out who to mention this to.

“It Smells Like Bum”

Okay, another hair post. You can handle it, right? Good.

I’ve been buying Herbal Essence shampoo for several years now. The one for extra body, the brownish one. I think the claim to fame is that it has marigold in it or something. Anyway, while I have never washed my hair in an airplane bathroom (making noises that point to another activity, ahem), I do love the way it smells.

Strike that.

The way it smelled. For some reason, the Herbal Essence people have itchy fingers and messed with the formula for ALL their shampoos. Now they all contain “Essence of Palm.” I can’t remember what it’s supposed to do for you. But the thing that scared me was the little graphic in the corner that said “New – Same Great Scent”.

Okay, first of all, I have no idea how those two thoughts can be put together. If it’s the same great scent, it’s not new. And if it’s new, it can’t be the same great scent.

So I tried it. It’s not the same great scent. I didn’t want to say it out loud, but the thought that came to me was that it smells like ass. Except in the car tonight I said it smelled like bum, cause Junior is only seven and we aren’t white trash, thank you. And Mr. Dump, God bless him, said

“Yaaaa…you know, I wasn’t going to say anything, but it does.”

“You mean, you think it smells like bum too?”

“It does. Just a little.”

Try to imagine how hilarious a seven year old found this whole conversation. Now we have to tell him that just because the shampoo smells like bum, our heads don’t. And yes, I’ve already purchased some other shampoo. I hope I like it. Cause it’s not like I can go back to the Herbal Essence. *sigh*

Brad, I’m Ready!

Got my hair cut yesterday, as soon as I head Brad Pitt was back on the market. Mr. Dump tells me that he’s already hooked up with Angelina Jolie, but that might be just his way of trying to keep Brad and I apart.

I don’t see what she has that I don’t…do you?

Here’s me with the new cut, and Angelina with her boring, same-old style.

Um. Oh. Never mind.

Relive Your Childhood

I was looking for something on Amazon and on my landing page they had an item I just had to examine more closely. I mean, how can you not investigate a four hundred dollar pogo stick? (Okay, it’s on sale. For three hundred.)

I had a pogo stick when I was a kid. I can still remember the thwunk-clunk sound. It was hard to get that puppy more than 2 inches off the ground…this one claims to go five FEET off the ground. Doubt that? Well, they provide video loops (there are like 5 different clips) and this thing *is* amazing. But really, $300 for a pogo stick?
