random thoughts for the day

**just when i think i've seen it all in polk county, the woman in front of me in a really nice Lincoln Navigator lowers her windows & SPITS. note i said WOMAN. lovely. (this is 2nd only to the guy riding down the road in the bed of a beat up pickup, sitting in a lawnchair. as the truck took a corner, the guy's lawnchair tipped a little to one side & the owner of the truck had one of those white decals in his rear window that appeared right next to lawnchair guy's head: got brains? irony at its finest.)

**what on earth is the story with all the shark attacks in FL the last couple days? ok so only 2 but still!!

**i am already in serious withdrawal from my Disney Pass being blocked out for the summer months--and it's only been blocked for 18 days. i am sure i could remind myself why i'm not entirely unhappy about this in about 7 seconds by being in any one of the parks with 2 million sweaty people bumping into me but it *would* be nice to go in during the evening every so often...i have a feeling it's going to be a loooong 51 days.

**3 lanes on a highway are MUCH better than 2.

**my pictures shipped from Snapfish yesterday--i love knowing i have good mail enroute! (hey! if anyone is thinking of trying snapfish but you haven't opened an account yet, please let me know! if i refer you, i can get some free prints & so will you!)

**i also decided to do a little something for myself in honor of National Splurge Day back on June 18th which i didn't take advantage of immediately. however after much careful consideration i have chosen to indulge myself just a little bit & get a couple of magazine subscriptions. so yay for me for doing something just for me & yay for you when i pass along all my fun finds! LOL

**a little something for the girls (possibly bordering on TMI but it's a tip i appreciated finding). if you *ahem* maintain your bikini area with a razor, you are well aware of how sensitive the skin is in that region--and it does NOT make that much difference how new the razor is, my skin is still quite displeased. i have tried all sorts of remedies to relieve any ensuing discomfort after said maintenance. well let me share with you what i have found actually works with no stinging, no further irritating already cranky skin, no increasing the fiery redness you may already be experiencing: immediately after de-fuzzing (lol) apply hyrdocortizone cream with aloe liberally (and i would hope i don't have to point out that this is an external application only!! but for disclaimer purposes i say it anyway LOL!)--the aloe soothes & the hydrocortizone decreases itch, irritation & redness. i wish i'd known this a long time ago!
