This hand lotion is so unbelievably yummy, that I find myself just sitting here smelling my skin. It honestly makes me want to eat my arm off. I can't even put into words how delicious it smells.
The official description says something about coconut milk and powdered sugar and vanilla and who knows what else. All I know is that it's making me hungry, and I'm thinking that my left arm will be the first to go.
(In case you're wondering about the boring details, yes it is a fab hand creme. My hands are soft without feeling slimey or greasy, and it lasts a long time. It's spendy, but if you're going to splurge, it's a really gratifying one.)
This morning, my sister, Magpie, sent me this text:
"I had a dream that u were movin 2 new subdivision being built but it had long uphill drive 2 get there & a forest behind it w/ mean monkeys n the trees."
Which is amusingly whack on its own, but in one of my own dreams last night, I was yelling at some woman who was being mean to her. (And the fact that Magpie and I were baking pies and living in a duplex with sidewalk chalk drawings everywhere only adds to the fun of it all.) But, evidently, we were both worried about each other in our dreams last night.
She and I have always had really vidid - and often strange - dreams. And we usually have more than one that we remember each night. Before last night's saga of pie baking and sidewalk chalk, I dreamt that I was looking at a table or ledge covered in flowers and plants and greenery, and I was inspired to write a children's book. I don't remember the subject of my book, but evidently, it was wildly successful, and I was walking around just beaming from the inside out.
And a couple of nights ago, I dreamt that I opened my own bake shop. I've been daydreaming about owning my own bake shop for no fewer than 4 years now, but this has been my first night-dream of one. My daydreams have even gone so far as to have planned the entire menu of classic items and a few new twists (just say yes to gluten- and dairy-free yummies!). But back to the dream - again, it was just a really happy, content dream. My dreams are nearly always so vivid that whichever emotions I experience in my dream are carried over to the next day. Which is all fabulous until I have a bad or anxiety-filled dream, lol. But this morning, I woke up feeling the most smiley I've felt in a long while.
I'm sure that my bake shop dream was inspired by having recently watched "Stranger Than Fiction." Her bake shop is so close to what I'd like mine to look and feel like! And her philosophy on changing the world rings so true and close to my heart. Sigh...But she really does need an old piano in the corner of the shop and way more cookies on that plate.
One day, I'll write a post on lucid dreaming and the ability to control your dreams while you're having them. Ooh boy, I can't wait.
Yeah, so as you can tell, my blog page is undergoing some remodeling projects. Projects that involve tedious tweaking of pixels, xml values, and such. I still need to add a list of my most favorite links, and change up some of the images here that don't look quite right. My eyes got too buggy last night to get it all finished in one go. Til then, please bear with the clunkiness of it all! ♥
