Mirror In the Bathroom-English Beat


Circle of Seashells
Originally uploaded by Miss Tinkerbell.

So today as I cleaned to escape pain I recall back to last week when I was reading "The Gospel According To Larry". This character only owned 75 things...like a belt, a photo book, a watch, etc. And when he considered getting something else, he was very selective, only because he had to discard one of the previous 75.

I'm in my bathroom, cleaning and counting. I'm counting a good 10 shells here. Collected from remote places, here and there, in a display on a white shelf behind my clawfoot tub. So there is ten right there! Just in my bathroom.
I continue to count...
1 humongous bottle of Biolage shampoo
1 bottle of matching conditioner
A flat iron to tame down my naturally curly hair
A hair dryer
An ivory ceramic soap dish in the shape of a clawfoot tub, bought at a hotel in Disney World
The soap that sits in it
My favorite lotion...Donna Karan
My white robe that hangs on the hook of the door
2 bottles of bubble bath
3 Lufas
6 vanilla scented candles
A pumace stone
My makeup set, existing of absolute essentials...
mascara, lip pencil, lip gloss, tweezers, and concealer, for that occasional zit (uhggg)
Deodorant
My extra soft bristled toothbrush
Tube of minty fresh toothpaste
Hair spray
Hair gel
Hair shiner
An aqua washcloth
A pink towel
An aqua bathmat
Four more seashells purposely placed on the ledge of the sink
3 sand dollars on the toilet ledge
The bathroom scale

That's 52 Right THERE...and that is just in my own private
BATHROOM!!!!!

That does not include the mirror.

I better take a closer look inside that giant reflection... at how I live :(

Time to downsize...EVERYTHING

    TODAY A FRIEND SENT ME YOUR BLOG ADDRESS. HE SUGGESTED THAT I CHECK IT OUT. I READ A FEW HUNDRED WORDS, ALTHOUGH I WAS TEMPTED TO READ ONLY 75...I DON'T GET IT. DIRECT ME TO THE STUFF HE WANTED ME TO READ.
    WHITE PRINT ON BLACK BACKGROUND IS VERY INDUSTRIAL, BUT HARD TO READ.
