I have to admit it. I use face lotion. I realized about two years ago that my face is becoming increasingly shinier in the morning, especially my big, beautiful forehead. After trying many different brands of lotion, I’ve settled on Clinique. It’s not the cheapest selection I could have made, but it really works nicely. It’s also only sold at Clinique counters, which is a little bit of a bother.
Yesterday I went to Macy’s to get new lotion because I had run out. It’s always a little intimidating to stand at the Clinique counter with all the womany stuff going on around me, but I stick it out because I like this lotion. While I was standing and waiting for my turn, I noticed that there was a give-away: If you bought more than $21.50 of stuff, you’d get a free bag of make-up and lotion. I always buy at least two lotions at a time. That way, I don’t have to come back for a while. Two lotions is WAY more than $21.50, I tell you what. But when my transaction was finished, the woman said “Thank you!”, smiled, and turned away from me. No free give-away! What? Is this America? How can a person be denied his free make-up just because of his gender?
Shame on you, Clinique lady. Shame on you.
You knew I was going to the mall silly. You should have let ME get it for you. I would have gotten that free gift for sure!
BTW – I pet the floppy-earred bunnies for you!
I’m so surprised you didn’t blow a gasket at the actual counter, ranting and raving about government interference in people’s rights to have makeup!
Sorry – I’m a little punchy this morning.
I vote for you contacting the corporate office via http://www.clinique.com. They might give you free product for life!
On the other hand, they might send out one of their cliniquetrix operatives to silence you and your mettlesome blog.
He means meddlesome. He asked me before he left how to spell it, and I honestly didn’t know. Sorry, Lloyd.
But more importantly…was your new favorite shirt just as comfortable as your old favorite shirt?
I noticed that also, but thought commenting on it might be weird, but since your brought it up . . .
Ha! I thought about pulling the sleeve up before I took the picture, but by then I was gripping the boxes in such a manly way I decided I shouldn’t mess with it.
I was gonna mention the nice baseball grip you had there … bet you could throw a mean change-up with that.
Are you gonna tell us what kid of shirt it is and the size so we can look at our local BR for $4.00 super shirts?
You should have killed her.
I didn’t have my shovel.
HA!
Good one.
“My wife sent me for her facial lotion and free gift.”
DUH!!!
Because your into girly things already… how about getting a manicure? Looks like you could cut carrots with your nails! The first part of the word is “man†so you should be ok.
Hehe… My nails were freakishly long, so before I took the picture, I clipped them.
They look sharp enough to…
cut a carrot
slice a snake
razor a rat
skin a salmon
kill a kitten
dice a diamond
bisect a bug
peal a pig
hack a hamster
de-limb a dragon
sever a spruce
stab a snail
( these were thought up by my beginning band students)
What? No “hack a hare”, “ransack a rabbit” or “beat up a bunny” references in all this?!
[You must teach middle schoolers, too…?]
Oh no! I missed the bunny references. I didn’t even think about it.
K-8, about 1000 kids each week file through my room.
chop a chimp
julienne a jaguar
peel a pine tree
Drat! That’s all I’ve got. Your band students have bested me!
