A moment of stupidity: Using body wash as lotion

Now, let me explain: My hands (mostly my right one) have been very dry lately so I've been trying to put more lotion on them & keeping some in my purse. So, I went to Walmart & bought a little bottle of lotion for my purse, along with a little bottle of body wash & toothpaste for our trip. When we were going to our friends house Saturday night I quickly grabbed what I thought was the little bottle of lotion & stuck it in my purse & then put it on my hands when we got in the car. I never realized how much body wash could feel like lotion. Ray kept saying how bad it smelled & even rolled down his window with it being cold outside. It wasn't until last night when I was packing for our trip that I realized it was body wash that had been all over my hands.

I'm on lunch break at work (of course) & I'm trying to do a little research for our trip. Ray says this vacation is mine so I get to plan it. Well, the attorney that I work for has been to New York with her husband (I'm assuming a few times) & so her husband made me a list of things to do there. I'm really REALLY excited & it's so nice to ahve this list now. Maybe it will help us narrow down the best things to do. I think we've decided to go see the "Phantom of the Opera" while we're there although I'm still kind of debating about whether or not we should see "Les Mis". I've heard it's really great plus it's closing in March. But, Ray's never seen Phantom & I loved it so maybe we'll stick with that one.Does anyone out there have any suggestions?
