Are You There, Oprah? It's Me, Dawn....


Ok...let's review the list of reasons I need a fabulous makeover and spa getaway...all courtesy of Oprah, of course...


Exhibit A....I recently doused my freshly styled hair with lavender/vanilla scented febreeze...in my defense, I thought it was my hairspray...it didn't even register that my hairspray is actually a pump bottle...nope, I just grabbed it and went to town...It even took me a few minutes to realize that my hair was wet and smelling like a lavender field in France before the horror of my actions set in...

Exhibit B...I was excitedly telling Irish Dancer Girl (age 7) that I'd found the perfect costume for Halloween...Sue Sylvester from Glee!  Boom!  Easy!  Just slap on a track suit, grab a megaphone, throw on a short blonde wig, and allow my snarky sarcasm to flow freely from my lips...it's beautiful...right?  Nope...Irish Dancer Girl just looked at me and said, "uh, isn't she taller than you...a lot taller than you?...and...(long pause...while she looks at my tummy...) "you know..."(looks at my tummy again...) GRRRR....

Exhibit C...While toasting a bagel for my son, I remembered I had to toss in a load of laundry...zipped over to the washing machine and turned it on...back to the bagel...that I apparently "toasted" in the refrigerator on my way to the washing machine...oh...did I mention that after the wash cycle had completed, my clothing was gone? I had no idea that my clothes could become invisible!  I just hope they don't disappear while I'm wearing them...that would be blight on the city of Tucson...chaos would erupt all over the southwest...{{shudder}}

Clearly, this shows that a spa vacation and makeover is needed, right? If I looked better and was revitalized from the spa, I would never behave in such a manner...So come on, Oprah!  Help a whack job out...pleeeease????


Have a fabulous day!

If I were in charge, I would totally give you the spa day just after reading Exhibit A :)

Good to hear from you, and thanks for the giggle.

Rebecka said…
I wonder if the folks at Fabreeze have ever considered the idea of making a spray on hair refresher?

Where did the laundry go?

Oh you deffinately need a spa vacation! I hate days like that, but I love the humor spin you put on it!!

If it makes you feel better, I once grabbed what I thought was my lip gloss and started putting it on without looking at the tube first. Wondering why it was scratchy, I looked down and discovered I was using mascara! Yep, black lips. And this took place while I was in the car at a stop light. Isn't it nice of us to entertain the public at large?
Jingle said…
Yup! I agree! You need it! LOL!
SHELLY said…
The febreeze alone should get you in, right? No-brainer!

You always find the most hilarious little posters. "I'll just have to be a horrible warning" is my new life quote.

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
