My Shower Gel Smells Like Play-Doh!



Ayr Gel. Truly a gift from God when the Monsoon Flow leaves.



As most weeks, this week has proved to be interesting. The week ended much better than it started. So, let's go there ... 

Monday was meant to be a relaxing day of work at home. I took a morning walk hoping it would be peaceful. I will spare you the details but will tell details on the funniest part. I received a phone call from my realtor's office saying the bill was in for my handyman repairs and house cleaning. Now, think. What would you expect it to be ... $100? $150? That's what all of us were thinking. It was originally $360, but when it got to me it was $300. Needless to say I was peeved and wanted answers. I went to pick up the bill and called Juan. Little did I know this would be the most hilarious and oddest conversation I've ever had. I called him, and apparently he was tired of hearing about my bill ... others had called. I'm not really sure what happened between the time I left ReMax Velocity and the time I crossed the cattle guard onto Lund Highway towards my house. All I remember is a bunch of nonsense and then ... clarity. He told me just to not pay it. I almost stopped the car, I was so shocked. I thought, surely he didn't mean it. Then a friend told me, "If a Mexican says it, he means it." I asked him if I could call him back, he kept saying he was working for someone else and no. Of course, I'm going to pay him ... I'm just going to pay him a more reasonable amount. 

On that very same evening when I was taking my relaxing sauna shower before I go to bed to add some humidity to my bedroom, I realized something. My shower gel, which I purchased at the dollar store, smelled familiar. But, I just couldn't put my finger on it ... then it occurred to me. My shower gel smells like play-doh! I don't really like to waste it, so I am still using it. No wonder kids seem to like me this week. 

Some photos from the week:

This finch couldn't wait until I replaced the bird food.

Callie was doing everything to avoid getting a bath.

I think she feels better ...

  1. I just have to comment that I noticed that the peaceful morning walk you took ended with you almost stopping the car... How exactly does that work? :D

  2. I think I missed the link that I got in the car to go and get the bill. ha ha. Nothing is out by my house but a bunch of horses, cows, and prairie dogs ... and they didn't have the bill. ;-)
