Funny you should ask that this morning! A few minutes ago in the shower I was enjoying my body wash so much I thought I should tell ya'll about it. It is Equate moisturizing body wash for extra dry skin, with shea butter & vitamins. I really like Vitabath products, but now I prefer this one. It leaves my skin moisturized and smelling great.

I work from home, and I was spending a week with Gary (who lived an 8 hour drive away from me). It was the day of my monthly one-on-one with my manager, which we were doing over the phone. Gary came in the room behind me and I reached my hands up over my shoulders to hold hands with him for a minute. He slipped the engagement ring on my finger!! I had to go on acting 'professional' on the phone, which was one of the most difficult things I've ever done :-) Poor Gary was disappointed that I didn't immediately tell my manager right on the spot. But he got over that and we are one of the happiest pairs of newlyweds ever (we were married almost 8 months ago). He's my best friend and one of the sweetest guys ever.

OK Here's my story. My sophomore year of college I transfered, which meant moving from home into the dorms mid-year. So I was placed where there was a vacancy, not with people I knew. We were 4 girls to a room in a co-ed dorm. I moved in, but didn't see my roommates until about 3am when they came back from spring break... and woke me up. That was Sunday/Monday. One of the girls was clinically depressed, she didn't get out of bed for days. Until Thursday, when she went across the street to a gas station, bought a razor blade, slit her wrists and called 911. It was the 3rd time that year (the 2nd time was in the room... glas I missed that). Her parents came to take her home, so it was down to three of us. On Friday I walked in on another roommate selling pot. That weekend she snuck a keg into the room, her ex-boyfriend came and beat her up, and the police came (thankfully, I had gone home). She had been arrested for trying to return stolen books to the campus bookstore. She had to do community service, but most of what she did was dealt with by campus police, so she got a hand-smack. She was a cleptomaniac, claimed she could not go into a store without stealing something, even if was "just" a pack of gum, just liked the thrill. She went out to the bars on Thursday night and didn't come back til Monday afternoon. She went home with a different guy every weekend. One day she described to me all the places and positions of their weekend, but said the guy had not called her. She asked, "Do you think that was slutty of me?" I turned around and said "Not if he paid you well." The next year I moved off campus to share an apartment with 3 other girls. Two I had known in elementary school, but had moved away years before. One I had kept in very close touch with all those years. We were very excited to finally get to do that, after talking about it our entire childhood. It didn't go well. She drove me nuts! I haven't spoken to her since we graduated. The other two turned out to be great roommates, we had fun. I kept in touch for a few years, but eventually lost touch.

I've really enjoyed what the day is famous for. You've been terrific at sourcing that out!!! The QOTD has always been fun too. Enjoy your retirement Sandy! bottle of water, pen and pad of paper (I often think of something important just before falling asleep), books, vaseline for my lips, lamp. And often a cat who likes to knock the book and bottle of water off the table.
