Why?

Guys. I’m so exhausted. I’ve been spending the last month getting acclimated in a new job, and dealing with separation anxiety with my four month old, and unpacking box after box after jeeeeesuschrasshowdowehaveanother dang box since moving to our new house.

I’m not fishing for sympathy. I just wanted to let you know why you haven’t heard much from me lately. All’s quiet on the Southern front; but I promise, I’ll be back with the snark soon.

Tonight, I just leave you with a random thought because, well, sometimes that’s how I roll.

Why are loofahs sold without any packaging? They are, in essence, sponges you scrub your lady (or man) bits with. So can someone ‘splain why are they sold out of a big basket at Target, for everyone to touch and manhandle before purchasing? Even freaking dish sponges are packaged inside shrink-wrapped plastic so no one germifies them before you get them home and scrub-a-dub-dub your plates.

And while we’re on the topic, why are soft/plush baby toys also sold with no packaging when you know the first place those puppies are going are right in a baby’s mouth, but yet plastic and wooden toys are wrapped inside layer upon layer upon ohhhmygodddddanother layer of cardboard and packaging and zip ties, that it requires a straight razor, a vodka on the rocks and a prayer to get them out? Just saying.

So I leave you with that. It’s all I’ve got.
