I was laying on the couch with my head on my husband's lap last night, and he was giving me a scalp massage and gently running his fingers through my hair. It would have been very romantic had the setting not been that we were in front of the TV watching Sen. Miriam Santiago defend Tita Glo to high heavens on ANC last night (regarding the wiretapping controversy).

Well, anyway, in the midst of our intent viewing and obvious exasperation about the whole brouhaha, my husband blurted out, "Your hair is so soft!" Now, isn't that music to the ears.

Not wanting to lose the welcome change of mood, I said , "Oh, really?" And suddenly I felt like Kristine Hermosa in one of her shampoo commercials.

And to that, my loving husband of 15 years replied, "Maybe that's why we run out of shampoo so fast. You're probably using too much," zapping me straight back to reality.

Oh, well. It was good while it lasted... =) Ah, married life!
