I Couldn't Live Without You

Apparently, the price of chicken wings is shyrocketing.  The DJ on my local radio station said that her husband decided he could cut back on driving because of gas prices, but cutting back on hot wings just wasn't going to happen.  The DJ invited listeners to call in and let her know what it was that they would never cut give up.

So it got me thinking. What three things could I not live without?

1. Chapstick

(Just a quick side note: I'm watching The Bachelor: Molly & Jason's Wedding while writing this.  It's raining during their ceremony.  Someone gave umbrellas to all the guests, but did not give one to the bride and groom who are not only all dressed up, but are also wearing electronic devices.  Someone didn't think that one all the way through.)

Ok, back to Chapstick.  I've used chapstick since I was, like, 6 years old.  I'm (almost) never without a tube of the stuff.  If my lips aren't waxed up I feel...naked.  I'll make do with any chapstick, but my favorite is the Chapstick brand.  Right now I'm using Chapstick Fresh Effects Invigorating Green Mint.


My all time favorite though is the Chapstick 100% Naturals Lip Butter.


2. Bottled Water

I'm just not a fan of tap water.  I never have been.  In high school our new house was well water and we couldn't drink it, so we always had bottled water.  Our house now is well water and I refuse to drink it.  When we bought the house the water tested positive for fecal bacteria.  Granted, we had a black light put on to kill the bacteria, but still,  I'd rather not take the chance.  We used to buy Fiji water, which is the BEST water ever.


However, it's also the most expensive water ever too.  Over the summer we started having those big office like water bottles delivered.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

3. Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper


I'm a girl and I use a lot of toilet paper.  I don't want ultra thin toilet paper that falls apart as I'm wiping.  There really is nothing worse than little toilet paper boogies all stuck up in the who-ha.  Maybe a bit of an overshare, but all you women out there know exactly what I'm talking about.  Or a chafed bootie because of rough TP. It's just not pleasant.  Cushiony soft Charmin is the way to go.

What wouldn't you give up no matter what the cost?

Hey.. as far as TP is concerned.. if it has to touch me like that, then I want the best!

Have you ever tried DCT by blistex? It's like crack for your lips!! The only bad thing is that it comes on one of those little jars, instead of a tube.

I'm with you on the Chapstick. I have to constantly have it on & with me. My favorite is ChapStick: Strawberry flavor, he he.

I also could NEVER give up my Cable TV & Internet. I've been known to pay my cable/internet bill instead of my cell phone bill. A phone I can live without...TV/internet, never ;)

Internet, DVR, each of us having our own car.

P.S. Charmin clogs up drains.

Pizza, facebook, DVR, flipflops!

The toilet paper CRACKED ME UP my husband can NOT understand how much toilet paper I use (he's never had a girl in the house before.) I prefer a thin, less fluffy paper though haaahahaha can't believe I just said that ;-)

I'm on board with the chapstick. My preference used to be Chapstick brand Mint flavored. But my mother in-law got me hooked on Sun Shades, Mountain Mint. Its made by a company called Melaleuca. It's heaven in a little tube. I also could not live without my Kindle! (My heart swoons just at saying the name!)

I just found your blog and you are too funny! I can not do without Diet Coke or my Clinique Bamboo Pink lipstick. I have worn the same shade for about 10 years and buy it in bulk on Ebay :)

FIJI water! Oh, how you taunt me. All I drink is water and Fiji is the absolute BEST. We live in Germany right now (courtesy of the Army) and they don't have Fiji water here. Sadness. When we visit the States, I drink so much of it I could float back across the Atlantic. :)
