Miss QQ~Thank you! It was a fun look to do and love Goldenrod, so really happy about it. I will definitely be wearing this, especially in the warmer weather! I love that it brought out my green eyes!

Lou~That thief must be insane to be prowling around the same area all the time. He sounds like a local. But I liked that you bagged the drunk guy! I worked at a bank for many years. We had a few hold ups, but they were filmed and got pounced on by police right outside the front door as we had silent alarms all over the place to trigger and were in the middle of a town. Some people are real idiots!

I haven't even looked much at the LV bags because the prices are so high. Besides, I am having a field day with Coach and love that the store is right near MAC and just above Sephora, so it is my own little heaven! I can look at what I want or thought I wanted from their website. Often I change my mind once I get there and see the real thing. Last night I bought a pink heart coin purse, a pale pink wallet, another wristlet in a taupe/grey colour and 2 adorable key chains. One had pink and glittery hearts on it. The other is a small pink rhinestone cupcake. I fell completely in love with their key chains and need 2 new ones, so very excited about this! So girly! Pics up in the haul section. I also got three nailpolishes and going insane over NARS e/s.

This afternoon I need to work out more sales. I've been wanting to do this for some time, so a good excuse to get those decks weeded out! I wanted to have all this done before Christmas but it never happened!!

 

[Miss QQ]

lou - Yes I forgot that you would have to pay for the things stolen! It is so morally wrong to steal from the shop. Glad you had a good day.

I watched Gossip Girl season 2 episode 1 today! So happy season 2 is finally showing on cable tv. I know GG is in the 4th or even 5th season already, and I'm only at the 2nd lol. Love the beautiful people and fashion, and the storyline is interesting too. My laptop is having problems too. The hard disk seems to have been "shocked" when I dropped it twice very long ago and now I can't save certain things inside. Not sure is it due to the incompactibility of the MS document with Apple, but this is weird lol. This laptop is my first Apple computer, iPods and iPhones aren't counted.

ETA: Hi Debi! Hopefully we can see pics of your Coach goodies! They sound so beautiful - pink and glittery! You rock the bold red/pink lips too!

Debi, I'm the same way - I'm very happy with my Coach!! Your stuff sounds adorable! I need to work on sales, too - I have lots of book and makeup I'm trying to get off my hands! How did you end up selling your books?

 

[ElvenEyes]

Jen~I've been buying and selling books since I was a teen! There are a few used bookstores around here. I basically go to the place, see if they ever buy, see what they ask for certain books to get an idea (you only get about 1/3rd or 1/4th of what they will turn around and sell for) and find out what they like to buy. History, fiction, children's books, art, etc. Then I just gather the books I want to get rid of that will appeal the most to them and bring them in. Some places like to make appointments, others you just walk in and be patient while they wait on others. The biggest thing is knowing you won't get anything near what you paid for, but if you need to move them out, some money is better than none! I also sell silver and gold jewelry that I don't use. I just find there is always something to bargain with if you really are willing to take the time to research it. Once you establish a relationship with the bookstore owner they are more apt to buy your books at any time and give you a better price than what they give to others. But if you go in too often, they start to take advantage of "expecting" your nice books and give you less. It is all a dance they play, I have found out, so I am very careful to spread it out over a few shops! Muahahahaha....

oh wow! you must be an expert from doing it for so long!

i may not be on specktra much tomorrow due to the dreaded area manage visit! i may not even get a lunch break until after he has gone which is usually about 3pm. wish me luck ladies!

 

[JennsJewelz]

Yay new computer! I'm really loving my Macbook Pro - it is virtually indestructible, which is an important feature for a klutz like me! It takes a little getting used to switching from a PC, but nothing too difficult Enjoy it!!

LOL, I know what you mean about getting enraged! Jerome had a tough day at school today which totally could have been prevented through good communication with him, and I was so enraged - ready to storm the gates!!

Good luck with your area manager visit tomorrow! I'm sure it will be just fine

 

[shadowaddict]

Lou your storry about taking that drunk down had me rolling. My daughter sitting near me was like "ya got issues over there?" I know it was probably quite scary at the time but I'm sure it makes for a good cocktail party tale

ha! well i am very pleased that i put a smile on your face, even if your daughter perhaps thinks you are slightly odd laughing at the computer!

right i must go - i only came on the pc to haul the wonder woman stuff that was released in the uk today. now i am off to do my crappy paperwork (it really doesnt help my guys sell things!!) and then plan things for us to do while my manager is here watching me. have a great day ladies!

I am still ill at home - sleeping or watching Vampire Diaries and How I met your mother.

I have decided to get an Ipod Touch 4

I don't want an Iphone because I really like my Sony Ericson Xperia 10 in white - but my Ipod nano is a bit small and I can use Apps with the Ipod touch.

Oh no! You've been sick for a while now, haven't you? Hope you get better soon! Enjoy catching up on TV, though

That's exciting! Enjoy your new iPod when you get it!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~I hope your day runs smoothly and that you all look incredibly productive and busy for management day! lol Hang in there. Hopefully no one will come in and try to steal things. Or if they are drunken fools you can wrestle them again and get a pay raise. There you go! Always looking on the bright side of things! I am dying to know what WW items you got. I did finally pick up the blue makeup bag the other night at the MAC store. They only had 2 blues left and a bunch of reds, so went for this one!

Susanne~Sorry to hear you are still ill, but influenza can be nasty. Keep drinking lots of water and just rest and wait it out. At least you are having some fun personal time in the process!

Jen~Out of curiosity, do you have any MAC red l/s you can recommend. You know...the kind that have NO pink in them. And preferably no orange tones either?

 

[kittykit]

Hello ladies! I hope everyone's doing great. I'm still on my 'vacation mood'. M and I spent 2 weeks in Malaysia. The first week was awesome until his brother came to join us a week later...

Speaking of LV bags, I'm so looking forward to the following Saturday

I'm going to get myself a Speedy 30 for my birthday. I've decided to go for Damier Ebene instead of Monogram. I already have my Neverfull in Damier Ebene prints and my pochette is in Monogram (I've been using it since 2003 and the strap is dirty - I'll probably need to replace it).

I've banned myself from getting more cosmetics... but I was been bad yesterday and got a Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick. MUFE has finally came to the Czech Republic! Unfortunately they don't carry my shade (#123) for HD Foundation. I'll have to get my 'personal shopper' to pick it up when he's in the US for business. *sighs*

Susanne, I love your new avatar!! (is it new? I haven't been here for weeks!) I hope you feel better soon. Influenza is nasty, I caught it a few years back... ever since then I always go for the vaccine every autumn (paid by the company).

 

[LMD84]

oh dear! what did his borther do? or was he just intruding on your alone time? and yay for more LV!!!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~I am dying to know about your pink goodies from WW! The last time I was in the MAC store one of the sales ladies looked at me and said "I remember you! You love pink!" I just laughed. It was the day I wore my Gentle Geisha look, the rosy red lips and had a long down fushcia coat on! Pink? Me? Who says? The blue bag is nice. I would love the red one, too, but we will see. They are roomy, so that is good. I do wish they felt a little stronger. I guess I am used to some heavier duty ones that can take a beating no matter what I do with them and last for ages. This will get special treatment! But it would be nice for something tucked away and on your vanity dresser! It is very Bimbo. Lots of shimmer to it!

I have been super busy. I moved into my new purse, took my keys of the old key chains and onto the new ones. I tossed my old black wallet of some obscure company that was getting beat up (have had it for years) and put everything into my new pink Coach one. Everything is cleaned up and organized. I took my scarves, hats and mittens out of one drawer, moved all the undies, socks, etc. hehehe down into that larger drawer and claimed the long top one for my MU! So, back to rearranging everything. Now I have space to grow!! Ah...what a pity! Oddly it is all going to work out better this way. Now I have my year round socks all together (peds, short, long, fuzzy) and just have to find storage for a few winter scarves, hats and gloves which only get used part of the year.

Now I get to open my order from Sephora. Yippee! I am hoping there is something red in there!!! (And will hang my head in shame if there isn't!)

 

[shadowaddict]

Susanne--I'm sorry to hear you are still sick. Gets lots of rest. Watching "How I Met Your Mother" should give you some laughs and they say that is the best medicine That show cracks me up.

Lou--I hope you have a great day with the management there.

Kittykit--sorry half your vacation time was ruined. I hope it wasn't too horrible.

Debi--MUFE has some beautiful red lippies also.

yes i am excitemnet for my goodies to arrive. although i am off work all next week and i bet it will arrive while i'm off! i have instructed one of my guys to take it home with him so i can pop to his house to collect it! our gardens back onto each other so it's not like i have to go far to collect it! and it sounds like you have had a nice day sorting things out! i love being organised like that! and yay for making room for more goodies! hee hee!

speaking of organising me and nick must sort out our cupboard in the office - it has so much paperwork and most can be chucked away now. the stuff we need to keep i shall buy some new folders so that we can easily file it away. that will take up some time on our week off! and i am excited because on monday i shall be going to the cco! you ladies know that i will be hauling there!!

 

[rockin]

Lou, if you're lucky your Selfridges order might arrive tomorrow. When I placed that order for WW lip products before, it was dispatched that night around 8:45pm according to the email, and it arrived by courier the very next day.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Fun Lou! I love organizing everything and my various spots in the house are looking so much neater, plus tossing stuff left and right! My husband has so much cleaning to do. If he could only set aside 1 long evening, skip tv and just concentrate it would be spiffy in no time. He has tons of stuff to toss, too. Years ago I bought him a nice file cabinet and filed everything for him, wrote out the labels, etc. It was nice for about 6 months. Now he just tosses everything on the floor. I despise him for that. Our house has always been so clean that anyone can come in at the drop of a hat and I was proud of that. Not anymore and it is his fault. Grrrr. Men.

I'm still waiting to hear about my mother. My father is really bad about keeping in touch. He has no cell phone and won't use the phones at the hospital because he is mostly deaf, so my sister and I spend the day twiddling our thumbs praying she made it through okay. My sister yelled at him last time. She was out of surgery before noon but he didn't call anyone until 8:30pm!

You are so lucky you have a CCO near you. We don't have a single one in our state or area for that matter! I hope you find all sorts of super goodies!!

Lol, Debi, I would love for my place to be like that, but it's really impossible as a student with 4 jobs on the go, plus a boyfriend with the same ridiculous schedule! One of these days... I'm hoping the lack of work to do in April will bring on some serious bouts of cleaning and organization! Right now I feel like I'm just treading water - keeping the place liveable, and not much more! :S Only a month and half to go... that's my mantra!!!

Hope all is well with your mom. It's so hard to be in that limbo of waiting to hear something!

Jenn--I finally pulled out Heartless l/s on V-Day and wore it with the matching gloss. My husband came home and just gave me a weird look cause I usually don't do bright lip colors. I said come here give me a kiss. He then went into the kitchen and was wiping it off and looking in the mirror and he said how much of that crap did you put on? I just laughed at him. It is such a pretty color. I'll just have to get used to it but I did like it on.

Debi--the MUFE red I was thinking of is # 43 Moulin Rouge. I think it was Shontay on here saying how gorgeous a red it was. I have heard that Ruby Woo is really drying to the lips. I tried on my daughter's Russian Red and while it was pretty I found it too dry for me even with lip balm under it.

Lou--are your kitties feeling better now? I hope they are back to normal. I could never say that about one of my cats. I'm not kidding there is nothing about this cat that is normal. My other two cats sometimes just stare at him while he's doing something stupid. The whole litter is that way. A friend of mine has two of his siblings. They're all nuts. He'll lay on his side and "roll" down the steps. He flops from one down to another doing a kerthump-plop. He likes to get about 2/3 the way up the stairs and stick the front part of his body out between the rails. One time a few years ago he was doing that and just fell forward. After I saw he was ok I couldn't stop laughing. He will lay in the oddest positions where he's all bent and half curled, I say he looks like some furry alien fetus. He is very amusing and provides us a great deal of laughter.

Susanne--I hope you're hanging in there Sweetie.
