Do I stink?

I decided recently that I needed to add a little color to my skin before the wedding, and during my many, many visits to Walgreens I'd been eyeing the shelves of lotion that claim to have a little bit of self-tanner in them. The idea is that you're moisturizing while gradually getting a tan. So I bought a bottle yesterday and used it for the first time last night. It went on smelling quite pleasant. But at some point during the night that smell turned on me.

I thought maybe it was because I bought an unfamiliar brand. The store I went to was out of the Jergen's lotion for light skin tones, so I bought something with the name "Glow" in the name. But I've just been reassured that it was not the brand of lotion. Comments on epinions for the Jergen's Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer have many nice things to say about the results of using this lotion. But among the cons, many reviewers mention the smell, which some categorize as resembling steak sauce, chemical chicken fat and plain old stinky. The lotion I used last night had me smelling like a box of crackers when I woke up this morning. And I can't get that smell out of nose. I hope that I'm not walking around smelling like that today. Nasty. I don't know if I can take another night of that.

I managed to spend most of the weekend sitting out in my front yard, reading a book and watching Jesse play with the neighbor kids. It was very relaxing. I also became little Miss Susie Homemaker Sunday when I cooked a pot roast and made a cake. SkooterPie completed the picture when he brought me a bouquet of tulips when he got home from grocery shopping. All I needed was a freakin' apron.
