Either that or my 'no man' situation has me too freakin horny.
Okay..well, I go to my email and there is one of my many ezines that I subscribe to (one day I will learn how to hit the unsubsribe button as well as the subscribe button) and the heading goes like this:
Cucumbers- They're Not Just For Salads Anymore.
Okay...I KNOW this is a clean ezine and I KNOW it cant mean what I think it means and what is running around in my head is simply not what it contains. And I am right. It simply contained some beauty tips you can do with cucumbers:
***************************************************
1. Tips To Help You Look Your Best
While cucumbers are yummy in salads, or even all by themselves,
they're good for you in other ways, too. Read on to find out how:
* Got a little puffiness around the eyes? Try using an eye gel with
cucumber in it, such as Pond's Soothing Cucumber Eye Treatments.
These are cooling eye pads soaked in cucumber, aloe, chamomile and
green tea extracts, and they look just like freshly sliced cucumber.
You can actually USE freshly sliced cucumber, if you prefer. In
either case, be sure you're applying to a clean, makeup-free face.
* Pores a little larger than you'd like? Unfortunately, there isn't
anything you can do to change their size; there IS, however, something
you can do to change the APPEARANCE of their size, and you use - you
guessed it - cucumber. Cut half a cucumber into slices (the round
way, not lengthwise). Put the slices into a bowl containing 1/4 cup
of rosewater and one teaspoon of witch Hazel. Let them soak for a few
minutes. Wash your face as you normally would, being sure to remove
all your makeup, then grab a cucumber slice. Rub the cucumber slice
all over your face (watch your eyes), getting a new slice when
necessary. You can refrigerate the slices in the mixture for up to
one week and still use them.
As long as you're in the "concocting" mood, here's a mixture you can
make for a refreshing soak in the tub. When you're done, your skin
will be soft and smooth. You will need:
2 cups powdered nonfat dry milk
2 cups baking soda
1 cup kosher salt
10 drops of lavender, peppermint, almond, or other essential oil (pick
a scent you like)
Put all the ingredients together in a jar with a lid. Shake well to
ensure everything is mixed well, and scoop a little into your
bathwater. Ahhhh...
You can store this mixture, covered, for about a year - if you can
make it last that long!

MY problem comes with what immediately went through my mind at the caption!
This is either too funny or too pitiful. I cant decide which one!
