I Found Heaven in a Shampoo Bottle

While I was in London I found a little piece of heaven. Where is heaven you ask? Oddly enough I found it in a bathroom. My hotel in London was made up of 15 vintage with a modern touch rooms. Or rather, I stayed in this little eclectic hotel. I arrived in London after being up for like 36 hours straight. Suffice to say I was tired. So the first thing I did was take a two hour nap. When I awoke I was all grimy so I took a shower. When I went in the bathroom and opened up the shower I was amazed to find 5 full bottles of product. The name on the bottles was COWSHED. I never heard of it before but the bottles were very pretty, think black and white with flowers. I opened up the shampoo bottle and it smelled so good. I turned on the shower which had one of those huge circle shower heads that came down from the ceiling. I never showered with one before and boy, now that I have I want to swap out my shower head. I can't imagine its good for water conservation but dang it if it wasn't the nicest shower I have ever had! The shower head along with totally awesome product made for one fuckin' amazing shower! In fact, the shower was perhaps one of my favorite things about the trip! Seems weird but I really, really, enjoyed those showers at the hotel. Anyhow, I had to buy some of that great product to take home with me. It probably was no co-winky-dink that there was a COWSHED shop right outside the hotel hence the full sized bottles in the room. So before I left I bought myself three bottles of my favorite products: the Cowlick Gentle Shampoo, the Saucy Cow Softening Conditioner and the best shower gel ever, the Knackered Cow Relaxing Bath & Shower Gel!! They cost about $75 friggin' US dollars but "how often do i fall in love with shampoo" I told myself as the store clerk rang my card through the machine. I was so excited to take my one, if not, expensive treat home! So after flying and spending another 36 hours getting no sleep, I get home and crack open my suitcase and reach for my luxurious products hoping to recreate the best shower week of my life. What do I find when I open my suitcase? You probably have guessed it! Yes, that my luxury in a bottle had exploded all over the place!!! My damn clothes were now wearing my $30 bottle of shampoo. "Fuck" was all I could say for like 15 minutes. I never buy fancy shampoo so this discovery was particularly harsh. I was sooo completely pissed and couldn't believe the one thing I was looking forward to was now gone forever! Of course I went and googled the stuff online and apparently one shop in Berkley, California sells the stuff. I will have to track it down but do you know what it feels like to find something so awesome only to have it all over your suitcase the next moment? Call me disappointed. Anyhow, Cowshed was my great discovery during this London trip. Too bad the cow moo'd all over my suitcase and not on my hair! Bummer!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
