So how was your day?

Aww, Lou! I am sorry you had a crappy day. It really rots when one thing leads to another and I swear the domino effect takes place. Tomorrow can only be better! Put on a smile and a pigment and feel free to toss the printer out the window!
Today was a yucky day for me. I was tired all day, sick feeling from cramps, but it got better in the evening, at least for a while. Long enough to watch The King's Speech which was amazing, and HP again, and I just sold a deck for 150.00. I now have 6 boxes waiting to go out and getting down to the nitty gritty of my collection. Soon there will not be much left to sell off! I am so proud that I have sold this much already and I think most of not all of what I want to get rid of will be gone by June 1st! And I was thinking it would take all summer! Very pleased about that, even if things have slowed down a bit with sales. Yay!
And with a few more little goodies trickling in from Sephora and bits attracting my interest as the summer goes along, I am pretty well stocked to the brim with MU for a very long time!
Okay. so who cheats and wears expired MU, so long as it isn't smelly or weird looking? I was good and just changed out my mascaras. But some of my lippies and powder products I plan to keep for a while and use. Shame on me. Maybe I will find a sprayer and fill it with alcohol to disinfect on occasion. Thoughts?

yeah the printer really was the last thing i needed!! lol! i wanted to throw it into the road and under a bus! luckily today i can now laugh about the fact we thought the computer was broke though! we're all so techy minded and couldn't work out a cable was unplugged! lol!!
i'm sorry you stll have cramps though
but i am pleased you have watched and liked the kings speech! i need to see it but it is not out on dvd yet in the uk! why do we have to wait so long?!oh and i use glosses that have technically expired. to be honest as long as they smell the same and do not have a weird texture i think it's ok. plus because i am very sanitary with my products anyway i think that helps them last longer
and for lippies you can dip them in alcohol or of course use a clean lip brush with each use (but don't double dip!) and with powders always use a clean brush and use some tissue to wipe the top layer lightly. it's glosses that are tricky. usually i will put some gloss on my hand and then apply with a brush or my finger so that i am not actually getting the doe foot on my lips. yeah i am crazy when it comes to being sanitary!today i have a day off but am about to clean the house because i have some wall insulations people arriving at 10am to sort that out. we'll be all set for next winter!
Debi you will like janice's series of blog posts - she is reviewing perfumes! check out her first post -Spring Fragrance Series: Playboy Play it Lovely Now both of you can educate me on scents!
i have been really enjoying my day off. wall insulation is now complete and didn't take too long. i sorted out new music on my iphone and mac. and of course i watched desperate housewives and hellcats cleaned the house, played with kitties and still had time to do a couple of blog posts and pictures. and the best bit is that it is super hot here today... well for UK standards!

Very proud to be me today. I lived today well ... enjoyed others, listened and learnt, pushed through a fear, showed poise and grace in a situation of cati-ness.

oh and my makeup was awesome ... doesn't that make a day!
check you out! i'm proud of you! you accomplished loads yesterday!oh and my makeup was awesome ... doesn't that make a day!
That is one very good thing I don't have to ever worry about. We are too far from any cities to have smog and the wind usually comes from the Northwest, which is arctic air anyhow! Of course, that also keeps us chilly! But you will hear me complain when it gets too hot and humid, too!
Two boxes get sent out today. I am so glad. This room is a mess. I am presently rearranging all my CD's and really want a IPod of some kind and a new phone. Hubby likes our archaic ones, but I don't! Next Christmas and winter is going to be the year of new techy things for me. A new camera, new phone, MP3 player or Ipod. Time to get with it!

ElvenEyes- I will say that I really love my iPhone. Sort of takes care of a few needs in one.
I'm currently recovering from yesterday. I had the most twisted nightmare about losing an eye and woke up to discover that it was because I had a migraine. Weird thing is, my migraines don't hurt all that badly, at least not for very long, but they completely incapacitate me. They seem entirely focused on my eyes, which means I usually wake up with a weird sense of pressure in my head and no sight in my right eye (hence the dream, I guess). I apparently woke Dom up three times during my nightmare because I was yelling or panicking. Then, of course, I woke up and couldn't see out the eye I dreamt I'd lost... Ugh. Not what you'd call a productive day by any means. And unfortunately, we had some issues with Arthur, our eldest furry boy, last night (he's fine now) that kept us from getting any sleep until about 6. So today has been a write-off as well.
I'm thinking that if I can just dye my hair, make some notes on a story I thought of, reheat our leftovers and make it out to meet friends tonight as planned, I'll at least be able to salvage something of the last 48 hours.
WWJoanD- I take my hat off to you. Sounds like you were karmically making up for all my slack!

yeah i love my iphone too! it is crazy how attached i have got to it! i only bought it last august but it is glued to me since! i love that i can enter things in the calender and then when i synch it to my mac everything is on that calender too! clever stuff!
that nightmare you had sounds horrible! i am so sorry that you woke up in a panic like that and that you had a shitty migraine too
not the best way to start your day! good luck with the couple of things you want to do!Hey! I am still awake and wired! Here it is, after 1am, and I have spent a large part of the evening standing in the rain trying to calm down my neighbour's teenage daughters as part of their house burned down. Oye. Their mother, taking heavy pain killers fell asleep in bed, while smoking. She woke, screamed for help, they dragged her out, she is burnt and at the hospital, some of the pets survived, but sadly not all, the house is in ruins, there are still fire engines all over the place, me, the one afraid of dogs, was caring for their Doberman Pincher. I had to roam around the yard while the house was burning to find one of the girls cell phone, keep them calm, get them to call for friends to drive them to the hospital and to stay, etc. In the meantime all the neighbours were just standing at a distance not even helping in the least bit. I don't really even know these people, but gosh, if someone needs help, you help! You don't just let two teenage girls cry while a tragedy is happening. Insane people. Yes, their mother has major problems, but regardless, you help anyhow. So I am wired, and finally shaking. No sleep for me. I can still hear the engines of some fire trucks that will remain the night because they have to gut out the house, holes were made, windows blew out. I never felt such a hot fire or saw such flames and smoke pour out of a house.
Oh yeah. Happy Easter. Miracle anyone survived for if the daughters were not home, the mother would definitely be dead. I think I need to go hug my makeup and books and stuffed animals and just be very happy that I don't smoke or make stupid choices.

eeek! i saw your picture on facebook Debi - terrible stuff but this kind of thing happens all the time. people fall asleep smoking or with a candle still lit - not good
one of my good friends is a fireman and he tells me all kinds of stories about what he has seen that week. and yes i can't believe the other neighbours just stood and watched as these poor guys were crying. you do anything to help the poor things it's not their fault.It was wild, Lou. We were sitting in our family room watching The Borgias when we both heard sirens. We just assumed that it was passing by on the main road behind us, up the hill, but it got louder and then I saw flashing lights and said "oh oh, it is our road!" We live on 2 roads that are Cul du sacs and I opened the door, followed the train of fire engines and looked up and saw huge flames ripping out of their main bedroom. Her husband died many years ago. She is a real character with a lot of problems, drinking, drug use, etc., so I am not surprised that this has happened, but still. I just go into this emergency mode and through my hoodie on, my boots and ran. Hubby just stayed. Neighbours just stayed in corners watching quietly. No one helped. I know they all have had problems with them, but you help people. No matter what. You put away the petty arguments. They could have all died. Some of the pets did. They have lost possibly everything from fire, smoke or water damage at this point. First the death of their father and now this. My heart goes out to them, especially the youngest daughter who was so shaken up and the oldest receiving oxygen because she had breathed in too much smoke. I am going to try and get some sleep, but it so surreal to see and hear all the fired engines out there still, police talking, everything. We live in a very quiet upscale neighbourhood and this kind of thing just doesn't happen. Our town probably gets no more than 4 big fires in the course of a year, and they are usually electric fires from an old home or candles from Christmas lights. Just too freaky. lol my husband is pacing and looking out the window. Lights flashing everywhere, spotlights on the house. As they keep going through it they rumble things about and a spark starts up, a fire breaks out, they douse it. Glad it is raining and not windy. Another blessing.
Is it okay to want to sleep with your makeup bag for comfort? Hehehe...

Oh Debi--so sorry to hear about your neighbor's house but especailly the girls and their pets, at least their mom will hopefully be ok. Yeh I don't get how some people can just stand there and stare when there are 2 young girls feeling quite alone and their house and belongings are burning as they watch. I would not even think just go to them. I don't know why people smoke in bed or even laying on the sofa. You just son't know if you may dose off.
Yes it is perfectly fine and normal to sleep snuggled with your makeup.
Katred--I hope you are feeling better from your migraine and nightmare.
Debi--I have to admit to not reading the LOTR book eithers. My daughter of course has probably several times. When she can pull herself from Diagon Alley she goes to Middle Earth. She can rattle off all kinds of trivia about things like that but when it comes to her schoolwork and tests it seems her brain goes blank. She will also sit and watch the hours upon hours of extras on the super extended editions of all those movies. She can't wait till June when the next Ultimate edtion of HP comes out.

that is so sad about some of their pets too - i bet the girls are so upset. and you say their father had died a little while ago? that is too much for young girls like that - bless them
and you use your makeup for comfort! it's totally ok! hee hee!
Dragging myself out of bed. It is already in the papers. Jill was severely burned and one of the dogs died in the fire. Two other dogs and 1 cat survived though I have no idea how they will be or if they were harmed in any way. The fire engines left just a little while ago, staying all night to keep an eye on the house in case of any outbursts, which kept happening. Between fire, smoke and water damage they probably lost almost everything. It is a miracle they got her out. I think everyone is just so shaken up, yet at the same time really it was an accident waiting to happen with her history. A pity for the girls, both who have been in trouble themselves, to lose their father about 10 years ago, their brother away in service and really alone with tons of pets they don't even know what to do with. Now to have their mother on a very long and painful road to recovery and no home. There were fire engines from 4 different towns. Scary stuff.
Today I will visit my stuff. My MU, my books, my tarot being sold off! lol There definitely is something to be said for living lightly. But I am sure I will still haul. Hehehe... Apparently smoke isn't the greatest thing for my allergy eyes either! Hmm....
