Easy selling point...

I am part of several services which send me free samples of products to try and review. Recently I got this:


Among the review questions was a list of check boxes under the heading "What was good about this product?" and included such responses as "It gives my hair volume", "My hair is soft and manageable", "Good value for the price", and "It contains oxygen". That's right, this shampoo contains oxygen! And it's not false advertising:




How groundbreaking...

In which I try to ignite my latent domestic proclivities...

Now that I am out of school I have determined to make up a little bit of the debt I owe to Paul. For the last three years he has been doing the majority of the household work, whilst I spent my time adding to my degree collection. I do not enjoy housework but I'm giving it my best shot, straightening this and that, doing some dishes, taking out the trash, actually making the bed every morning. Yesterday Paul admitted to me that he had noticed that I was making the bed every morning and that he was somewhat alarmed thinking that perhaps it was "some kind of warning, or maybe a trap." So what I'm saying is, my housekeeping bar has been set pretty low... I can work with that!
