I don't mind rain - in fact, it's my very favorite weather, so you heard no grumbling from me when we had to stay in our pajamas all day long listening to the pitter patter as it hit out newly filled, soon to be overflowing pool.
On Tuesday, I also stayed in my pajamas, but the natives were restless. There is only so much Nick Jr The Daughters can stuff into their little brains before the sociopathic tendencies come to the surface.
On Wednesday, I was pretty sure my ever-lovin' mind was literally and figuratively heading down the drain! We had played every game in the house. We had watched every Red Box available at Hellmart. We had watched every episode of The Cosby Show ever made. We had eaten our own weight in junk food and had even started eating the veggies. Vegetables. WE WERE THAT BORED!
Then the postman came and dropped off a package for me that smelled like... well,... Um.... It didn't smell like me and my unshowered-for-three-days self! It smelled like TV mothers would smell if we could smell them. It smelled like Clair Huxstable: Clean, Clear and Controlled.
I noticed the return address was my friend Lisa Lang (click for her website... you'll be glad you did).
I instantly knew what was in the envelope. I was so excited that I chased down the postman and kissed him like we were starring in The Notebook. (That's not true. Our postman's a woman and the kiss was from an entirely different genre of movie.)
I hugged the package to myself, ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I knew that Lisa was hookin' a momma up, yo!
A few weeks back, Lisa chatted with me, and said she'd like to give me some stuff and she's so generous she wanted to sponsor my next giveaway and give YOU some stuff too. The stuff is heaven, my friends. It's Perfectly Posh.

Ignore the gray hair - Lisa didn't send me color! |
I LOVED it all. I spent an hour in the bathroom pretending I was a princess. Actually, I pretended I was a princess at TGIFridays because I kept licking off the Ooh La Kalua lip gloss and imagining I was drinking a mudslide. Yes, it's that delicious!
The Tart Tooties sinful skin feels and smells marvelous. It's very light, but very effective - a little goes a long way and afterward, I felt smooth and silky, not slimy and slathered.
But, my favorite, by a long shot, was the Rubby Scrubby. This will look like a stick of deodorant. Leave it in your shower and every time you hop in, rub it all over your feet. This, my friends, is the definition of posh. I took four showers that day just to use the Rubby Scrubby.
I finally emerged from the bathroom smelling pretty, feeling pretty but looking pruny - except for my shiny lips! There was nothing I couldn't conquer. I felt like a new woman, and I really didn't care that it was STILL raining.
"Can we eat the chocolate chips plain?" Sure.
"Can we build a fort behind the piano?" Absolutely.
"Can we pay $9.99 for the Muppet Movie on pay-per-view?" Be my guest.
Life was easy breezy for me. Until...
"Can we use your new stuff?"
I'm only a little ashamed to say that I actually growled at the little scavengers.
