When You Care Enough to Hit Send

Shout out to someecards.com. We are amused.

The Ice Queen is not liking the "Burrito Lady" radio commercial, nor is she amused by "I can ride my bike with no handlebars." Well you can, can you? Good for you. Go see how that works on Lake Shore Drive and stop singing it at me, dammit.

Now let's talk about Terms of Endearment. Not the Meryl Streep movie, those words you say in place of first names. I am wont to use one now and again with people with whom I am very close. Usually a "honey" or "sweetie" in a very slightly Southern-ish fashion that I sometimes adopt. Occasionally a "babe". I'm wondering how many people use ToE's today and which ones. (I'm not counting "bitch" and "ho".)

Mr. Triathlete called me "honeybunny," and while I'm 100% sure he was sarcastic, I don't know what his point was. (Thus is the nature of texting.) I instantly thought of Pulp Fiction - Amanda Plummer freaking out on top of the table while Samuel L. Jackson pointed a gun at her boyfriend. "Honeybunny" will not be happening - but props for creativity.

Lip Balm

I may think too much about lip balm, because last night I dreamed I was waiting in line with my sister for some restaurant, and there were shelves and bins for impulse purchasing before the host stand, and I almost bought some lip balm with spf 15 for $1.99. Came in a pretty blue and white tube. I dream in color - cool!

I do love lip balm. My current tube of choice is Desert Essence Lip Rescue with Shea Butter from Whole Foods. 'Cause I'm all high brow like that. This stuff would be perfect if it had spf. It's made in the USA, cruelty free and biodegradable. Win, win and win!
