So how was your day?

Yeah, I've no idea if it came over here or not. Well, no, the bigger part was straying away and we were getting little bits. I fell asleep before it got here and I'm still alive, so, haha. Although now there's a gigantic belt of storms all the way up to the top of the country and that's just wonderful (not, haha). But as long as it's cloudy here, it's getting weaker. We have storm chances all the way to next Wednesday. I'm ready to just get out of the east coast, f'real, ha.

It's 90 here right now but the rest of the week we are suppose to drop down to low to mid 80's, yay. It was very humid yesterday. I haven't been to NC in a while. The last time was a couple of years ago when my hubby and I went to Ashville in June. It is such a cool town, very arty. We didn't know they were doing their annual art thing where you get to visit the studios and such. We enjoyed that. We stayed at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, beautiful place. We got a good discount rate but I don't think they do those anymore:( I loved that whole area around it and walking around the shops and resturants. . And of course we love the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Stay safe.

The storm tailed it straight east around noon while it was still in the state above and now it's practically gone, haha. Nothing here! Which means I'm finally gonna mow the lawn and earn some $$$.

That's great. I love fried food also but sweets are so tempting. I usually do ok with the sweets if I don't have them in the house because it is usually late at night that I crave them. Haha while typing this I have downed about a halk bag of Werther's hard candy. My hubby is bad to buy ice cream and chocolate and he knows that these tow items have me under a spell. He just tells me I need more will powder and self control. Men..

Ah, one of the benefits of being the primary chef in the house is that you have a lot of control over the food that enters it. He still has his ice cream every night, but I just try to avoid being in the room when he's eating. Even if I'm there, as long as he gives me a bite, I'm generally OK. So far, so good, although I do think it'll be easier when he's out of the house more...

uice cream every night?! oh man that would be awesome but terrible at the same time! nick would eat ice cream each night if he could. but i don't tend to buy treats when food shopping. our treats for the week include the odd bottle of wine rather than ice cream and chocolate. but of course i do love cupcakes and we bake some once a week!

Well, there wasn't enough gas so I couldn't do it. <.< No idea if there's gas now but I'm not gonna check until later since the air is crap.

Yeah, we got lucky with that storm. South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas didn't. >.> And maybe Texas, I only saw their name once. 2011 = Repeat of 1974 United States Tornado Outbreak except all spread out and not all at once, geez. Dear Grandpa, about that ticket to go back to Germany... aaaha. T_T

^^ Katred, have you tried drinking lots of water? Sometimes you get cramps if you're really dehydrated. Also make sure you're stretching before and after walking or working out - I know if I don't stretch out my legs, I get knee pain and calf cramps! Great excuse for a massage... :)

Hiya ladies! I haven't been around in ages, but work is finally slowing down so I thought I'd pop by to say hi! :)

I would like to say "in your face!" to mother nature since I got to mow the lawn today. :) Wh00t, 15$ for me!

Also, a cold front is leaving us so we might actually be able to have a nice and quiet weekend. Still chances for tiny pop up storms, but they said that the crazy weather pattern we've been having recently should shut up. :)

Now I'm trying to decide on a tinted moisturizer. I could either go back to the Sonia Kashuk one that I like (Although I can't decide if I should go with Linen again or go a shade lighter...or I could go with Hard Candy's since I used to like that one too and saves me more money, haha. YAY, DRUGSTORE TMS. But I do plan on going to Sephora at some point and finding a concealer. Concealer is harder to match than TMs. >.>

Ramble, ramble, ramble.

Ohhh I finally found this place. yay <3
Hi guys!

Uh, my day... yesterday sucked. Work was long, and tiring, and then I spent most of the day alone. I took a chemistry test that I got a 7 out of 9 on ;--; not too bad, but could have done a bit better....
The highlight of my day was the fact that I spent 4 hours afterwards watching Glee because I had nothing else to do. Ah, the days when I used to snort at the idea of watching it. It's actually pretty great.

Work starts here in 25 minutes, and back to the daily grind.

Ugh. It started raining in our apartment yesterday. Somehow, the caulking has come loose from the balcony directly over our living room window and now water has started dripping in when it rains. Had the landlord and superintendent here this morning, so hopefully the problem is getting fixed (kind of hard to tell, since the work would have to be done in the place upstairs). I guess I'll know when it starts raining again.

Actually, I did an experiment with just powder and it actually lessens (is that the word?) my dark circles a bit, just like my regular foundation does. So now I'm probably just going to wear my rice powder and now I don't have to worry about whether I'm foundation colour blind or not, wh00t.

Uhm, today was good minus the fact that North Carolina had another freakin' tornado. It was about two hours from here, but still. No storms around my area though. Still waiting for it to be next Friday so that this entire more than a week of storm chances will just go the freakin' hell away.

Went to Sephora and got the Urban Decay Feminine palette. I haven't actually used it on my eyes, but the swatches are pretty. :3

My recent video is also almost at 4,000 views and I just uploaded it on Tuesday. Crazy. YouTube even let me sign it up for revenue sharing or whatever.

That really sucks considering it looks like rain through until Saturday, hope he placed it high on his to do list.

As for my day:
I am currently watching/listening to the live feed of the Canada Post debate, fun times... I just want my packages that are stuck in the mail plz k thx.
Overall my day was pretty uneventful had to rush to shut all my windows when the rain started really coming down. Discovered how terrible of a top coat China Glaze's Patent Leather Top coat is, it took freaking over an hour to dry (totally f-ed up my right index finger) and on top of that it dried bubbly. Maybe I'm just spoiled after using Seche Vite.

Hey ladies. My day was mostly miserable because my husband just left on his long deployment (8-9) months. I already miss him! I shopped a little (bought an iPhone) but it was only a temporary fix. =/
