E is for...

Exit. I'm quitting this NaBloMoPo challenge! Its lost its luster with me.

I've been having some difficulty with this whole blogging thing so you'll have to forgive me. I haven't been feeling very witty for awhile now and I'm just so frickin' boring these days.

Its crunch time with school this month (I spent 7.5 hours on Sunday with a study group) and a new project at work has recently picked up. Blah blah blah excuse excuse excuse.

So now onto some randomness.

I was the victim of a Spa Party. I have a pretty simple routine when it comes to skincare. I wash with Noxzema (and have been since I was in elementary school!) and use an Olay Moisturizer with SPF 30 in it. That's it. I don't really break out or have any real skin issues. I really wasn't wasn't into this whole Spa Party thing when I got there.

So why did I end up buying $85 worth of crap? The lady reminded me of a relative. My asian guilt kicked in and I felt obligated to purchase stuff from her. Even worse? I got suckered into hosting one of these parties! Shoot me now. She mentioned that they do "couples" parties so we'll see how that goes. I can't imagine a bunch of dudes sitting around exfoliating and moisturizing.

How the hell can I make this party worthwhile for couples? I don't want to get everyone TOO intoxicated because my asian guilt wants me to make sure this lady isn't made a mockery of. AAHH!

I'm switching to Noxzema and Olay 'cause your skin is flawless!!

Men are funny, we need our own MANLY skin care stuff. All you need to do is add "Active" or "Sport" to the name and the boys will use it, otherwise it's too girly :)

Sheesh. I hate it when I get suckered at a party. I always feel bad too :) I wonder if there's a cure for this?

ditto on your skin, it's always gorgeous!

i know what you mean about the asian guilt thing, but i can't belive you actually said yes to hosting a party! let me know how it goes.

Bail on the party! Seriously.

Also, while reading the Newsweek with the Target tote ad, (not gay),there was an article about stuffwhitepeoplelike knockoffs, such as stuff Asian people like. I thought you might get a kick out of it. I have no idea if it's funny.

HAHAHA…I totally feel you Twinks!. That’s how I feel whenever I go to those “toy parties” How many vibrators and bullets can one girl need?! LOL If you want, I can come to your spa party and bring one of my boy toys for eye candy purposes only…:-)

i fell victim to the asian guilt thing at the party as well! except i didn't spend quite as much as you did.

Kate said...

I want to come!

I fell into hosting a sex toys party - somehow I think that party is probably a little more fun than a spa products party.

gurrrrrrl, hot chip is THE BOMB. Get it. We saw them live and it was like nerds on X. Or whatever the kids are calling ecstacy these days.

Random!

i know about the asian guilt, as well. especially if it's an elderly asian...they always look so cute and vulnerable, i just want to give them a big hug.

for the couples party, maybe you can play spin the bottle in between the exfoliating and moisturizing. that would keep it exciting :-P

DFactor said...

Oh yes! Make sure you buy the Hot Chip cd ASAP. It's a party in a box. Email me your addy and I'll take care of the Moby.
