Indescribable. Well, ok, somewhat describable. Out of control online rave review of Neutrogena hand cream. Seriously- out of control.

BTW, did you know that (a) the flag on Neutrogena is Norwegian and (b)Neutrogena is not a Norwegian product, but rather a branch of the American company Johnson and Johnson, founded in the 1930s? Fact!

Hee!

But actually I am commenting just to show off my brand-spanking-new icon. What do you think?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

This a.m., as I attempted to escape the alarm clock, that Special Someone said, "you're a burrowing rodent." Said I, "I'm one of the gnawing animals." Said Someone, "You're burrowing." Said I, "I think I prefer gnawing."

Also, CONGA-RAT-ULATIONS!!! If you get a chance to open gmail today, we can gchat all about it. It'll be good practice. :D

She seems almost comically stunned by the product, but overall I agree with her. And the Norwegian flag on the box is very cool.

Your icon? A-dor-able!

I now need a non-greasy, fragrance-free lipbalm, otherwise I'll be faced once again with another of my winter dilemma : chapped lips and no kisses or kisseable lipbalmed lips and no kisses? Help !

She's really worried about getting no kisses. I'm surprised there isn't any Neutrogena Norwegian Formula lipbalm when pretty much all parts of the body is covered by that line.

I actually just bought some really *great* Neutrogena lip balm. Nice package, too!

I think my favorite part was how she was describing the package, like she had just discovered this great sekrit and no one else would be able to replicate. And yet, available at Boots.

Well, that and, "a Norwegian fisherman, or indeed any fisherman."

Your icon is beautiful and delightful.

Nice package, but it doesn't have the Norwegian flag that'll signal to Norwegian fisherman, or indeed any fisherman, that this is the product to slather on their wind chapped lips at night after a wintry day out at sea fishing for whales.

Thanks! I really like that picture of Marilyn linked to in this article about author's favorite pictures of women reading. It's fun to see Jeanette Winterson getting all hot and bothered over Marilyn reading Ulysses.
