New Buzzword Alert and Random Ideas

When you've received a nasty mail, you can say that you've been "e-nailed"!

I am going crazy for coconut scented shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizer these days.  The coconut fragrance transports me to the sandy beaches of Hawaii.  But I noticed something this morning.  The name of my moisturizer is "Desert Essence".  That's kind of a weird name for a moisturizer, don't you think?   Especially a coconut one.

Today I bought toe separators: blue, sparkly, gel forms that look like a blue, sparkly gel version of brass knuckles.  You put your toes in the holes and they stretch them, ostensibly to relax and "refresh" your feet, and relieve aching caused by tight shoes, bunions, etc.  So far, my toes are just cold.  They miss snuggling with their neighbours.  And, no, I'm not going to post of picture of them.

All Blacks Win World Cup and I enjoy the last blueberry cinnamon muffin

It's a good day so far.  Woke up early on this morning (it's 7:37 as I write this) to learn that New Zealand has won the Rugby World Cup.  I'm a fan of the All Blacks, mainly because there are so many gorgeous players. I developed a big crush on Carlos Spencer back in 2003 when I saw him lead the haka at the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Sydney.  No word of a lie, watching that is HOT. Go to YouTube and search on "carlos spencer haka" and you'll see what I mean. Here's a link to a photo at least: http://www.marca.com/2009/01/30/mas_deportes/rugby/1233333242.html .  Sadly, Carlos is no longer an All Black and therefore not featured in the calendar.  To add insult to injury, he has cut his hair and dyed it blonde AND moved to South Africa.  I'll still cheer for the ABs every time.  Coolest sports team, best uniforms. (I initially wrote "I'll root for the ABs every time" but then remembered that "root" means something different for Kiwis....hmmm Freudian slip?)

What else make this such a good day?  There was one homemade blueberry cinnamon muffin left over and I just enjoyed it with my coffee.  I don't have a lot of housework or errands to do.  There is one snoozing cat, Nelly, stretched out on the bay window seat and another doing inappropriate things to a jacket left on the settee. Xander, the latter, seems to have questionable "relationships" with a couple of my sweaters and my housecoat. And the cushions on our couch. I feel kind of embarassed for him, but I don't want to punish him and give him some kind of complex. He's already very high strung. 




Penelope, the former, is sauntering towards me and within seconds she'll be climbing over the computer keyboard and onto my chest.



 So, I'll sign off for now.  Enjoy the week!
