Two in One Day!

I just posted something this morning, but I can't help myself!

I went in the ladies room at work one day and found my stall was equipped with a canister of air freshener. Not a terrible idea, considering there is no exhaust fan in the room. Although in my experience, air freshener just seems to mingle with the offending odor and create a strange blend of artificial floral scent and whatever smell you’re trying to cover up. While my trip to the loo was an uneventful number 1, I couldn’t help but notice the canister boasted a food scent instead of the usual wisteria or lilac I’ve come to expect. Vanilla indulgence was the name, and the can depicted a vanilla sundae covered in caramel. What? This struck me as a little more than odd. Because no one else was in the bathroom at the time, after I finished my business, I decided to investigate the other stalls. They too were equipped with their own handy canisters all boasting a food smell – gingerbread cookies and warm apple pie. Okay, now I’m really grossed out. I know these products are billed as room spray, but I think we all know which room they are used in. Now I can have the pleasure of imagining a slice of warm apple pie with steaming side of turd. What marketing department thought this was a good idea?

Rant

I haven't posted since April.  That's pretty lame.  I'd like to pretend that I'm too busy, but it doesn't take a long time to post, so I'll just suck it up and admit that I'm lazy.

I would like to take this time though, to rant about seemingly unimportant things...

I’m trying to cut artificial colors out of my diet. And let me tell you, this is a lot harder than you think. I looked at the ingredient list on my cottage cheese container the other day and I found “artificial color” on the list. What?! First of all, what color would cottage cheese be if not for the artificial color? Second, how can it be artificial color if cottage cheese is white? Isn’t white the absence of color? So what color are they putting in there? And if this mystery substance is white, shouldn’t it be “artificial absence of color”?

Okay, so maybe what I said doesn’t make any sense, but neither does putting artificial color in my cottage cheese. If companies didn’t put artificial color in stuff to begin with, we’d all be used to the color things are, and that would be that.

I was camping with friends and we were at a grocery store near the campsite.  He asked if I would drink milk if he bought it.  Sure, I love milk.  He's partial to 2% and I to skim, so we split the difference and got 1%.  Well,  the cap on the milk was yellow and he was freakin' out.  He said he was afraid he'd think it tasted like lemon.  Seriously.  It's pretty clear we taste with our eyes.

Hello!

Hello ladies, gentlemen and fellow vegetables!  I've erased my old blog entries as a symbol of my new life.  They were pissing me off anyway, lingering there, reminding me I haven't posted anything in a while. 

So here I am, posting this, when I should be readying my things for work in the morning.  I better do that actually. 

More later...
