Q is for Quiet--please!

The only times in my life that I have ever had trouble sleeping was late in my pregnancy and the first few weeks after I quit smoking. Aside from that—not a problem. I can sleep through a hurricane and, in fact, I have—Hurricane Hugo in September 1989. I can not imagine how frustrating it must be for people (my husband) who suffer insomnia. HOWEVER—waking ME up at 2:30 in the morning to tell me that you can’t sleep isn’t going to help you OR me. And don’t wake me up to tell me that you’re sick unless there is something I can do to help you. Like, “I’m sick, could you please get me a cold rag.” Or “I’m sick, would you get me a bucket.” Or even, “I’m sick, will you please call 9-1-1.” Don’t wake me up and say, “By the way…I’m sick.” What the hell are you telling me for?

Now that I’ve met that damn alphabet requirement, I have something important I want to say... WARNING--It’s a sales pitch.

As a BzzAgent, I get to sample products for free in exchange for spreading the word about said products. A few weeks ago, they sent me a sample of “Aveeno Positively Ageless lifting and firming night cream”…OH-MY-GOD! This stuff is incredible! Seriously, I noticed a difference immediately. The lotion smells great, it absorbs quickly, and leaves no greasy residue. Within a week, my skin was noticeably smoother. I’m not saying I had fewer wrinkles (I’m only 35), just that my skin was smoother. I checked out the entire line of facial products and none of them cost more than $20. AND…if you go to the Aveeno Website, you can sign up for a free sample and coupon.

My sales pitch sounds so corny. I wish you all knew me better so that you knew how serious I am. Some of you will figure, “What the hell” and you’ll go buy it. Then you’ll be all, “Dag—That Rachel girl was spot on!” Uh huh…just wait. You’ll see.
