I stink
On advice from my blogger friend Jody's blog, I tried this new Jergens lotion that's supposed to give you a gradual glow. Many people have complained about the stench, but I didn't smell anything too heinous when I sniffed it at CVS, so I bought it. I slathered myself with it this morning post-shower and hoped for the best. Holy shit, do I smell now. I put on some Chanel No. 5 this morning to try to cover up my reek, but I can still smell myself. M must be laughing -- we often tell each other the other one smells. Yes, it's juvenile. So shoot me.
So this morning, I was watering my plants and enjoying the chemical stench coming off my person when I saw my across-the-street neighbor putting out his barrels for trash day. He's a cool guy, but he tends to run off at the mouth without noticing you shrinking towards the exit. (The elderly gentleman who lived beneath me when I was in my apt was the same way -- maybe I attract them.) Anyway, I like our neighbor, but I often hesitate to say hello, because he will talk your ear off without hearing a word you're saying. I hesitantly said hello to him this morning, and it was offfffffffffffffffff to the races about him, him, him. I stood there and nodded politely, then excused myself so I "wouldn't be late for work." (true) We are the youngest people on our street, so we've found it hard to make friends in the neighborhood despite our neighbors going on and on about how friendly everyone is. Everyone's got kids who play together. Someday, maybe, we will have a family of our own.
