Oh, I'm so sorry for you Sweetie. My son is a Marine and has been to Iraq twice and it is so hard but keep your thoughts positive. Keeping in touch is so much easier now days. He would email when he could and call unless on a mission. It was great to hear from him and just to know he was ok. I sent cards and goodies also. He was gone for Christmas in 2006 and in 2009 and his birthday in March of '07 & '10 also. Retail thereapy helpes also
Hopefully you can find some things to help occupy your mind. I know that doesn't keep you from missing him but maybe it will help a little. We'll keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers.

Kate, I apologize in advance for laughing at this. When I read your post my first thought was a song on a cassette when that my kids loved. It was silly songs. There was on that I thought the title was "Little Old Man From Arkansas" but looking it up I think it is "Arkansas Traverler" It probably only makes sense if I post the whole song. We used to hear this whole tape over and over while traveling so these songs at least parts of them gets lodged in your brain forever. My hubby and I often repeat that last line when someone talks about a leak especially in the roof. Ok couldn't resist my brain is getting a bit stupid and silly at 2:45AM.
Oh, once upon a time in Arkansas,
An old man sat in his little cabin door
And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear,
A jolly old tune that he played by ear.
It was raining hard, but the fiddler didn't care,
He sawed away at the popular air,
Tho' his rooftree leaked like a waterfall,
That didn't seem to bother the man at all.
A traveler was riding by that day,
And stopped to hear him a-practicing away;
The cabin was a-float and his feet were wet,
But still the old man didn't seem to fret.
So the stranger said "Now the way it seems to me,
You'd better mend your roof," said he.
But the old man said as he played away,
"I couldn't mend it now, it's a rainy day."
The traveler replied, "That's all quite true,
But this, I think, is the thing to do;
Get busy on a day that is fair and bright,
Then patch the old roof till it's good and tight."
But the old man kept on a-playing at his reel,
And tapped the ground with his leathery heel.
"Get along," said he, "for you give me a pain;
My cabin never leaks when it doesn't rain."

That's insane! Wow. Good for you. I have a feeling you get a lot of hits because it's english and you have Chinese tags/writing too, that and it's very personal ie. in your room. Great way to fund your makeup and even save for university with revenue sharing.

Actually, it's Korean, hahaha. Although I do have a few videos for Chinese, but 2E1 is Korean. Chinese characters (especially traditional) are a lot more complex looking. Although I was planning for a look for one recent Taiwanese music video but it has purple and I'm so sick of doing purple right now, hahaha.
Yesss, tagging helps a LOT. I wish more people would realize that. I put in as many tags as I can.
And thank you!

:C that sucks... I can only imagine how much of a bummer that is. I'd miss my fiance too! I'm glad he's no longer serving (Navy veteran).
Hi ladiesss!!! dropping by today. My day was good lol work sucked a little less (thanks, Lou btw, for the comment!) but I totally ruined my day by breaking something xD I got my Dirty Plum blush in the mail and totally shattered it while depotting :C which is weird since I'm good at depotting blushes... it might have already had hairline breaks in it from shipping, perhaps, since it seemed so frail... but ah well. I kept what did stay in the pan and put it in my palette.
Also, i don't know if you guys are familiar with the shows Numbers and Merlin (I'm sure those in the UK are probably more familiar with Merlin), but I am so hooked!

Well in Chinese I only know 5 characters or so: one, two, three, man, and prisoner .... so I totally guessed based on your bio as it did not look Japanese.
....
I love purple shadows, but recently had so much joy with orange!!!

Orange is such a gorgeous shade! I need more orange in my life...I seem to have a lot of corals and not enough oranges.Well in Chinese I only know 5 characters or so: one, two, three, man, and prisoner .... so I totally guessed based on your bio as it did not look Japanese.

I...wish I knew chinese :C I already struggle with spanish and english as is though
also, a pic of my sad broken blush (Dirty Plum):
The poor thing :C not that I mind... it's so pigmented if I put too much on, I look bruised. So it takes a very light hand...which means I'll never hit pan with this, much less need a back up for it.

Hi Jaylilee!
That's sad about your blush ... I remember every makeup I've dropped and lost or used broken: NARS Kalahari duo in a 6 shadow palette totally lost in a broken mess, eden pressed powder dropped/bumped by my now husband and struggled unsuccessfully to use well, NARS Bengali shadow dropped and broken (I still use this) and a MAC deep green in Fiction. ... Yours doesn't look too bad - you contained most of it; mine end up all over the floor ....

Hi! lovely meeting you <3 (I'm like...a total newbie here
) How are you?I was lucky that the whole thing didn't end up all over the floor. My fiance just rolled his eyes at me and went "you just bought that...and now you're mutilating it." hahaha.
I think he's used to it now though... he says it's part of my "eccentric" nature. if he only knew.

Sorry to hear about your blush. However it looks like you've got it in there pretty well.
This is exactly like something my hubby would say. I bought a top last year to wear under a short sleeve lightweight sweater and couldn't find a sleeveless top that matched but found a long sleeve in the perfect shade. My husband walked in where I had the top laying on the ironing board cutting the sleeves off. He said "it still has the tags on it and you're cutting it up?" He just gave me an odd look. I guess he just didn't get why the sleeves had to come off. Men

Thanks (to you and others) for the commiseration. They do seem to have stopped the problem. At least, water isn't coming into my living room any more. No one's stopped by to tell us anything, so I'm not sure if I should put the curtain back up and the buckets away or anything.
I was considering watching the whole postal debate thing because I've been waiting to send out some important packages (and waiting to get a couple of non-crucial but still very much wanted packages). Seems like it might have been resolved, but I'll believe it when I see mail.

aww, i hate deployments. Had to go through a year long one with my ex, and he's leaving again this year on a second tour(he's one of my best friends), and my BFF's husband just got back last month from Afghanistan after a year as well, so i know it's hard to get through sometimes.
if nothing else you have us here to help get you through, or at least entertain you, and hopefully the time will fly by.
once he gets settled, maybe he can skype with you on a relatively "calm" day if he's going to a battle zone.
in other foolishness, i am sick of working out. i did it today to just be done and over with it, but immediately i thought about flying to miami and getting cuban food. lol! take that abs!

Lou :C sad! I want hipness one of these days... but gonna have to save my pennies. I was looking at the semi precious collection coming out July 7th and want to purchase some of those items first.
mtrimier, I hate working out too =[ but gotta get it done. My wedding is in a YEAR! literally. 12 months. And I want to look good for it.. sigh. I do hate the gym.
oh semi precious is eating my wallet and it hasn't even been released yet! lol! and don't stress over looking good for your wedding - i bet your already look great (you look cute in your profile pic) and every bride looks their most beautiful on their wedding day anyway!

Pretty good day! We're under a severe thunderstorm watch until nine, an hour and a half left but I don't think we're gonna get anything today. Other areas are though.
I went to Sephora (again, holy crap having one twenty minutes away now will kill my wallet) and got a tinted moisturizer. Had to go back once I got to my car 'cos it was too dark in natural light. My video from last week is at almost 7,000 views (totally beat my Aaron Yan video by over a thousand views already) and I'm about to cry from happiness, haha. My newest one isn't doing too hot though. xD Oh well. Maybe when the music video for the thing I was inspired by comes out, LOL.
Overall, good day, good day. Not too pleased with this neck/shoulder hurting though.

semi precious has already put a hole in my wallet. I seem to want EVERYTHING IN IT. Knowing me though I'll only be able to afford one or two things.... currently paying for school and saving up for the wedding = my funds for everything else are pretty limited. once they release that large collection of lipglasses in the fall, I'll go hide under a rock somewhere and weep. not to mention, MAC doesn't actually take paypal, which is where most of my funds are...so I might have to ask somebody to get them for me and pay them back over paypal, then have them ship me the items.
and thank you! I can only hope. it's so stressful planning a wedding. ugh.
ssaemblog; I feel your pain. I live 5 minutes away from the Mall of America.... Sephora and MAC are right across from each other.... there's like 5 bare essenctuals, and far too many clothing stores where I want stuff! why's your neck hurting? :C
