What I get for trying to be frugal

After showering last night, I decided to use up the last of a bottle of baby oil I received as part of a baby shower present for Anya. Aside from one bout of cradle cap, I never really used it on her, and I have another huge bottle should the baby require such treatment. Plus, I have had crazy dry skin as of late. The kind that keeps me up half the night itching, when I'm already not sleeping well. So I lubed myself up like a wrestler. My thirsty skin sucked in the oil immediately; rather than feeling greasy, I felt...well, baby soft. So I had high hopes for this stuff.

I still scratched all night.

When I got up this morning, I realized why:

I guess last night's itch-induced insomnia was not without reason. And now I can add another product to the no-fly list. This is why I make my own...

Time to make my own baby oil, I guess.
