I am religious about my Pond's cold cream, but only for sentimental reasons. I once asked my grandmother, well into her eighties, tiny and blind, but with pristine unwrinkled skin despite spending years working in the sun in the coffelands, "Grandma, how do you have such beautiful skin?" I was expecting some deep secret, along the lines of things that get advertised late at night. But no, "Pond's cold cream," she asserted. I've been using it ever since.

hip deep in pie
Oh, and I bought all the ingredients (I hope) for coconut cream pie without even knowing it was pie day.

Ponds is good - remarkably so, considering that it's not very expensive and it's been around forever. If my skin's extra dry I'll use some of the dry skin cream and it helps.

After all that back and forth about hiring a student, I emailed the girl making her the job offer on Friday, and I haven't heard from her! She is organizing Pan-Hellenic Rush Week this week, so I am hoping that is it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm too cheap and flighty to have One True Products in most cases. And this winter has been so dry, I've taken to using straight jojoba oil on my face, hands, hair, whatever.

Ooooh, coconut cream pie. I wonder what I need for that. I could probably do a chess pie pretty easily.

not your mom's socks.
I mean, I'm glad for jobs and puppies, but this day is a motherscratcher.
yes. yes it is.
I'm wound tight because I need to get a CT for the sinus infection crap tomorrow, so what we really needed over here was a nice sewer line backup, right?
right.
I could use some pie.

sigh ... today is the kind of day that gives Mondays a bad name. I managed to knock over an entire veinte latte (I'd taken the lid off, of course) and it went all over everything, dripped into my purse. And I'm very much afraid I've done somethig serious to one or more of my teeth - I've suddenly become extremely sensitive to cold. If it's not better tomorrow, it's off to the dentist.
