1. If you haven’t entered the yoga mat contest thingy, enter away. I’ve never had a giveaway dealie before so I don’t really know the rules. I figure it’s somewhere between reminding you dudes a moment before it ends, and making a puffy painted t-shirt for Eli to wear in a picture and posting it every 6 minutes.
2. You guys were so amazingly helpful in suggesting new perfumes for yours truly in this post. Several are in the running, FYI, but then Sephora got generous with samples and sent me this Fresh perfume, Citron de Vigne with my latest purchase. Among its notes are PINOT NOIR so of course Rob’s all, “Yes. Get this one,” and I really loved it until this morning when I sprayed it on and moments later, I get a whiff of B.O. But it wasn’t B.O. Hm.
The fence. I’m on it.
3. Ever since the comment debacle this weekend, Rob and I have been casually dropping the handle “Clemson Clarity” in conversation—you know, the one who mentioned the thing about wealth and waste. Rob whispers it in my ear before bed—“Goodnight, sweet, sweet Clemson Clarity,” and I sing it in a sotto voce in the shower while I’m squeejeeing for optimal acoustics: “Clemmmmm-soonnnnn, clariiteeeee…”
Here’s another example, but will require you having some familiarity with the movie Overboard to understand. Remember when Grant is calling to Tofutti in his giant mollusk shell?
Tofutti… Oh, Tofutti. Tofutti Kline-ine-ine-ine. Where arrrrreee youuuuu when I need you….?
I walked into the kitchen this morning and saw Rob swaying slowly side to side, his back to me. I advanced around the corner to see he was holding Eli in his arms, murmuring “Clemson Clarity… ClemsonClarityWhereAreYou…???” into his ear.
Mmm. Yogurt.

i just gotta say, i ❤ Overboard 🙂 ….i saw t in the theater too many times to admit.
YES. It is the best. We own the DVD and can always be heard saying either “I… ate a bug” or “oh go eat your checkers.” Too many good lines!!!
oh…& what a good phrase to come out of that silly comment thread…not to mention all the peeps who wrote wonderful things 🙂
Eeeee kitteh ear in a basket!
In an attempt to clean the kitchen table, hubby put my Sephora samples in my purse. I found them this morning as i was digging for my ChapStick and found my Fresh citron de vigne sample. Sprayed away and all I could think of was, “God, I smell like my great grandmother,” and that is not a good thing (as much as I loved her!) Also got a Michael Kors, Very Hollywood, sample in the same shipment and it’s just as bad. Is it me or do all fragrance samples smell horrible?
PS. Love the Overboard reference. “We’re at sea and I’m a GOD at sea!” One that you just can’t turn off if it’s on TV.
Dying. That is such a hilarious line.
Then he turns on the windshield wipers.
Sorry, Yoga & I are not friends. Actually any form exercise and I are not friends! Ha, ha! So I’m sure it will go to some gorgeous health nut! 😉
But I am loving the pics of Eli!
Hi Eli! 🙂
ha. you’re cute. and so sweet of you to give them a fair shake at it! loving your sunshiney pictures in your most recent post!
My samples came from philosophy this week….received a new fragrance that will be debuting this summer (I think, can’t find it on their web site yet)…called eternal grace. Could be my new fav, but agree with Wendy, hard to get past the alcohol smell in samples.
oh thanks for the heads up—I should hold off and go with what I know. Philosophy is my favorite.
first… we missed your brilliant words. Spent a few catching up (no words for people and the idiocy they feel necessary to bring with them)… and laughing out loud. Damned be them. You are too damn bright… end of story.
Love everything that is this blog. Don’t you dare slow down.
Oh, and did you know Overboard was filmed in our hometown? Just one of our claims to fame. ha.

Angel by Thierry Mugler is my favorite. Notes:
Bergamot, Hedione, Helional, Honey, Dewberry, Red Berries, Vanilla, Caramel, Patchouli, Chocolate, Coumarin.
The star bottle is beautiful, and refillable! I could literally eat it!
I still have my original from when I got it in high school… I almost want to cave and get it again, even though I’m not sure Rob likes it! It brings back so many memories. Isn’t there tobacco in it, as well?
Not sure, but I also bought a perfume, a Guerlain citrusy perfume, that sometimes smells like grapefruit, and other times like cat pee. So maybe its like when your coffee mug smelled like dookey, you just couldn’t resist….
hahahahahahaha. “dookey” You are a girl after my own heart.
man, that little cup BROKE yesterday. I went to unscrew it and the plastic separated from the metal (model seen here: http://www.thermos.com/product_details.aspx?ProdID=953&CatCode=BEVG&q=) and close to a year’s worth of dried rotted coffee flaked out. (Yes, flakes.) HUUAHH. (barf sound) But now I know why it reeked and can drink my coffee in peace from here on out.
Hey. I should do a post on this. Maybe Thermos would hook me up.
