Shadowaddict~I am so sorry about Ishmael and really love the tender care they put into his remains. That is amazing and such a gentle way to honour him.
Lou~Yes, I really lucked out all around and was glad I could use that 100.00 off plus that they honoured it a few hours early instead of me just looking and finding and then having to order the following day. I have never owned any designer brand and just last fall finally started using larger purses. I have tons of small ones, some I still have not used and have the tags on them. Since January I have now bought 7 Coach bags, 2 wristlets and a bunch of other things from them. I realized I am rounding my collecting out before moving on to more unique pieces and nothing did it better than basic black! I love the crimson interior, too! I will be able to find everything!! So now I have pink, lavender, sage green, grey, brown, multi brown and a black one. And Christmas and my birthday haven't even arrived yet! Cool! I plan to really pay attention to bags in magazines and such to see what really speaks to me. If I hesitated so much on a Speedy so many times then something isn't clicking and I can't help but keep going back to the fact that I can't make sense out of spending 800.00+ for a piece of canvas with very little hardware and only 1 tiny compartment that is almost useless, just because it is a famous name. And again we watched the people and paid attention to what they were carrying around in that High End mall. I didn't see a single LV for the 2 1/2 hours we were there! If it is ever going to happen, I will be confident in getting one!
Breakfast time on this super hot day!

I think you did the right thing with the speedy - if it doesn't feel 100% right then it most likely isn't
I'm pleased you are enjoying your large coach collection!!Oh Debi this product totally makes me think of you! It's glittery and includes a pink gloss - Take a walk on the wild side with Prrrowl - it is kinda pricey in the uk but for the states it is better value!

That looks so pretty and I would be extremely tempted, except that it is by Benefits and I keep away from a lot of Benefits products. Remember how their Creaseless Eye Cream Shadows stung my eyes? I had to toss them all out. No other brand does that to me. Just Benefit. So the last thing I will put on or even around my eyes is anything by them. They must have some ingredient in their products that no-one else has. I think it was the only time I ever had a reaction to a MU product.

that was so super nice. i think that people who provide those services and especially the one one you received, do so because they understand the love between humans and their animal companions. And also they know how much these kindnesses and gestures can help others and enjoy helping and caring.

^^Yes that's true. I agree. I think she adds the extras because she knows that it helps the grieving family to know their pet was handled gently with care by a person who truely loves animals and understands the pain you're going through as she has had to go through it herself.
The first time I called and talked to her back in January she said she has lost several beloved pets over the years and that it was painful with each one. She does this to provide this service because her pets are part of her family and not just a cat or dog. She knows how hard it is when you have to make the decision or when they pass on their own. She also talked a lot about the grieving process. I could tell by talking to her that she truely loved/loves her fur babies and understands the relationship you have with that family member.
Thank you to all of you for being so kind to me through this painful time.
I found an angel online called "Eternal Companions" the angel is holding a cat and the cat has angel wings also. The angel and the cat both have kind of like a wire halo. I wish there was one with a dog but I still think this it will be a nice thank you gift for her. She had talked about they're not really gone they will always live in our hearts and that they've gone to a better place without pain or suffering.
I've spent some time with my little grandson this week and that has helped me smile. He's 15 weeks now and grown so much. He is so much like my son in that he wants to be the class/house clown and of course the center of attention. It is so funny. He has started "talking" and he makes all these different sounds just to see what all he can do. He'll do that and then look at you like "did you hear that? I did that" and then just grin real big. He's also starting to giggle and he'll make funny little faces at you. He knows for now he's the boss and is enjoying every second of it
My hubby's b-day is/was today (Thursday) and they are cooking dinner for us Friday evening. My husband will love it. My son is grilling ribs and chicken (I don't eat ribs) and my daughter-in-law is cooking all the other stuff. She's a great cook so yummy. Anyway so more play time with the little dude.

Too hot to post, to think, to move, to breathe! 103F in the shade and rising. This may be the hottest day since we moved here 19 years ago. I wish I had a snow pile to jump into and bury myself in. I haven't even the energy to put makeup on. Or take tags off bags. I need a spare bedroom on the 1st floor, not the second. Then I would have a wonderfully cool place to sleep soundly! The upstairs is too toasty! Hope everyone is well and will see you on the flip side of this horrible heat wave. Prayers, too, to all in Norway and what looks to be another cowardly and cruel terrorist act.
i hope that the heat is a bit lower today for you. and yes i read about the Norway attacks and it is very sad
so many innocent people have died - there are some bad people in this world Reaching 100F again today, no relief until tomorrow, though I won't believe it until I actually feel it! Hard to believe that the first day of autumn is about as close as the first day of summer was. I can't wait!! Very still today, so not even a hot wind to stir the air and much more humid. I'm tired, lazy and the roads are dead quiet. It is even too hot to shop and go in and out of stores and a hot car trying to cool itself down and taxing the a/c on it. Long movies, a nap and a good book are my plans until this weather changes!

Debi, I'm feeling your pain with the heat - it has been feeling like almost 50 degrees with the humidity (Celsius - so I guess around 120F!!) for the past couple of days, and we have no AC - just one measly fan, and we're in the middle of packing boxes and heavy lifting for moving! I am melting - and last weekend I almost got heat stroke it was so bad!
When I have a bit more time, I have a pretty look I did to share with you guys using my Peacocky shadows for a movie premiere I went to - until then, keep cool, everyone!

I can't even imagine, though our A/C is not working in the car properly so even though my husband offered to bring me to the mall I declined. Far too hot for that. We went to two local stores, ended up getting nothing but a red face, parched mouth and a headache. Home back in the A/C and refusing to go anywhere until he gets the A/C fixed. I'll take zero degrees any day over this. It is a bit too hot to even enjoy my MU or get creative with it.

Oh I am with you guys on the heat and humidity. Our electric bill was sky high and I'm sure it will be again the next 2 to 3 monts. This is why I tell hubby I keep it cold in the house in the winter to balance out the utility bills. Actually I just like a cool/cold house. I've been staying inside mostly. When I need to go somewhere I make sure I can try to get all my errands done in one trip.
I had to get out today to get some things done before I leave for Vegas on Tuesday. I went by the MAC counter to pick up an extra brow pencil. I love "Lingering" and been using it for years, but it's one of those twist ups that you never know when it is going to run out. i always have at least one backup but apparently forgot last time so needed to take one. i do love the MUFE brow corrector that HG & Shontay raves about but i haven't gotten good enough to do it fast so for the trip I wanted something I'm used to.
I ran into Sephora yesterday and was looking at their OPI and found the prettiest color for my daughter-in-law. You cannot go by the swatches on their site. It's called "It's Bouquet With Me" It looks pretty on the site but I swatched two coats and it is gorgeous glitter purple fun, but not giant glitter. I took it to her when we went there for dinner last night and she absolutely loved it. She loves glitter.
I also bought myself "I Don"t Bite" It is lighter than the site shows and has more shimmer than the swatch looks. It calls it soft pruple and I guess it is but their swatch is a lot brighter. I may have to get one of the ones like I got my DIL for my toes, so pretty.
My brain is on overload trying to remember to do all the things I need to get done before I leave. I got too stressed so decided to play on here for a bit. My lists are starting to have lists. I swear they're like rabbits
I usually like to have my Sundays to stay at home and I was really needing it tomorrow to get more done. But my hubby's mom is having a get together for his b-day that was Thursday. i have not been to the last couple of family things over there and hubby gave me one of those looks and said he would like for me to come. So guess I gotta or I'm sure I will get the guilt treatment. He won't say much, but oh it is there.
Jenn-- I hope you are drinking mega amounts of water as I'm sure you are losing quite a bit.
Debi--My daughter's a/c in her car is not working wither. Thank goodness we have an extra car that she can drive. It's nothing fancy, just an older Honda that everything is in working order and the a/c works so all is good.

It's going well thanks, Lou! My parents came over yesterday to help us bring stuff to a storage unit for August. I'd say we're about 2/3rds or 3/4s done - the only furniture we have left is our futon, which we're bringing to sleep on while we stay with Jerome's family (and right now! lol), and then we have some papers, about half the kitchen, our closet and the bathroom to go through. I'm going to have to store most of my makeup and be really choosy about what I bring with me in August - it'll be so sad to pack everything away!
At least our unit is climate controlled, so I know it will be safe Right now, I think I'm going to bring my Naked and my Peacocky palettes, 1-2 of the basics (foundation, powder, mascara blush) and then 5 lgs and 5 ls. That is going to be tough, but I know I will only start to have meetings the last 2 weeks in August, and so I'll still be able to mix and match to make different looks every day if I'd like, and they'll be pretty neutral anyways I might also have to bring my S-P MES, just because they're so gorgeous and I've been using them lots! We'll see what I can fit lol... I know I'm addicted!

Jenn-- Very pretty look. I love the way you did your eyes. You look so fresh and happy. Your teeth are gorgeous. OK I guess that sounded kind of weird but they are.
I'm trying out some Sheseido foundation right now. Actually they have it listed in the sun products. I suppose because it has an spf of 42. I'm trying that with the powder foundation that is also in the sun section. The powder is a bit dark even thought i got the lightest color. I'm palying around with it and buffing it out. so far it is doing well on my oily skin in this heat and humidity. I had read an article recommending them together so I was unsure about the powder as it is listed as a foundation powder but they are not heavy and do not cake up.
I like that I can play with the nail colors at Sephora but the ones that are online exclusive seems to be kind of a waste. They look so pretty and then I almost always am disappointed when I get them. I found a pretty pale shimmer pink called "Handpicked for Me" It takes 2-3 coats unless you want it very sheer. I've been playing around and found I can change a lot of colors up by adding that on top.
If I can ever get all my stuff together and get on the plane Tuesday then I will be good. I am ready to get the hell out of here.
There was a mouse in here a couple of days ago. I HATE them. They can live outside (far away from me) but not in my house. I have 3 freakin cats, seriously wtf? They need to earn their keep I saw a glimpse of something run across the living room floor and I freaked. My husband was not pleased when I went up and woke him and told him he had to come downstairs and do something. He was like what am I suppose to do? I said I don't care, take care of it. We finally went to bed and he set a live trap the next day and got it. My daughter would throw a fit if we had the old kill kind. I make him take them at least a mile away to let them go. He takes them down to a park close by and sets them free. Sorry, I only want critters I invite to live in my house. Others need to stay out in their own enviroment. Hubby thinks there may be another one and set the thingie again. I don't get this we have lived here 17 years and only had one.
I think this is why Smokey has been worshiping, that's what we call it, the dishwasher lately. At night he sits by it like it is his best buddy. Perhaps he smells something. But honestly he's too stupid to know what to do with it if walked up and greeted him.
Oh, Vegas here I come.

Oh I forgot mouse had my brain.
I got an email from Sephora for 10% off with this code V436CB, not a lot but every bit helps. It pays our sales tax. i guess it works for anyone. They have a bunch of stuff in their sale section.
