Husband Of The Year
November 10th, 2006Not only did he take me to that Patchouli Den, but he also hung out for 65 minutes while I schmoozed with Houston’s finest—the hard-charging hippy chicks of the 281.
Last night—bless his heart—Angelface accompanied me to a Burt’s Bees seminar held at a granola barn called Nature’s Solutions.
An introduction to the wonderful world of hippy dippy hand creams, lip balms, and complexion enhancers, the estrogenfest was a New Age Mama’s dream and a Manwich-Lovin’ Straight Dude’s nightmare.
We may never have children … I’m fairly certain Angel’s twig and berries withered a little, just walking into that place.
But anywayz …
Angel, who is Mr. Anti-Organic, must know that Santa Claus is coming to town and she’s making a list, checking it twice because the hubs was *entirely* too well behaved last night.
I mean, he only flinched a little each time the older woman seated in front of him—heady with the ecstasy of organic eye cream—groaned desirously. I will admit, around the 45th outburst, Angel’s small flinch looked more like a nervous tic.
And then, when we were discussing the burden of ovulation and the androgenic acne it produces, Angel belied no discernable reaction … well, except his complexion changed from rosy to rigor mortis.
And when the topic of night creams was broached and someone went into detail about how mature skin wrinkles and puckers, I think Angel could relate. Subsequent to hearing a TMI testimony about rose creams being good for women’s “feelings” and “hormones,” I’m fairly certain Angel puckered on part of his body.
And it wasn’t his mouth.
…
I thought it was the best dirty hippy date ever. Angel (and his asshole) would probably disagree.

My grandmother went to a similar Burt’s Bee’s seminar and has been singing their praises ever since. I’m a total Burt’s Bee’s Lip Balm addict, but I draw the line at carrot face soap. You should ask CK about the peppermint soap though

A Burt’s Bee’s Seminar! Ok, well knowing THOSE exist just made my Friday. And yes huge props to your man for surviving the sea of samples and organic face products. Chris would have left me oogling the wide array of chapstick. To go stick a fork in his eye.
(Ok, and excuse me while I geek out over here for a moment, but have you tried the wild lettuce soap? Because, yeah. It’s AWESOME.)

That sounds like a perfect date. Luckily my boyfriend secretly enjoys all of my organic lotions and soaps.

Above and beyond the call of duty. Hurrah to your husband.
