i know finding a mouse isn't funny at all but this did make me chuckle!! i imagine him doing what Dylan does when he looses a toy under some furniture! i hope it is all sorted soon though - i hate mice too!!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 keepI 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.

Jenn--Your right the braces definitely gave you beautiful teeth, although I didn't see then prior. My son had braces and all went well. But my daughter did a phase one and when that was over they had to do something different and did phase two. And now after all of that and $5,000 later the enamel on her front teeth is eroding and they get very sensitive and look crappy. All we can do now is have veneers put on those front ones, so another 5-7 thousand. My silly hubby had to tell her the whole process of how they will have to sand down? whatever they call it and now she doesn't want to get it done. I was so ticked at him for telling her. I said she'll just find out when it's happening. I mean they'll numb it I'm sure.
Well my husband got the other mouse. He said this one was the mommy cause it was bigger. The other was little bitty. I don't touch the thingies either. I told him this was in our wedding vows. It is his job to handle all such critters. He said he doesn't remember that part being in there. I told him after 24 years he just forgot but that I can assurre him it was there He was to protect me afterall.
Jenn, make sure you sneek that into your vows, even if it's masked so you can use it later when needed.

ha ha! you have no idea how much this made me chuckle! i think in my wedding vows i snuck in 'you must always clean up the kitty pike' because i can never do it myself - it actually makes me feel sick! yay for hidden vows! lol!Jenn--Your right the braces definitely gave you beautiful teeth, although I didn't see then prior.

Hi everyone! Been MIA thanks to being smacked with some horrible cramps. And here I was rejoicing that I had a bit of a break these past few weeks. It heard me and hit hard. Still not over, no sleep last night, today I am a complete zombie. I keep thinking it is time for lunch (skipped breakfast), but now it is dinner time. Read, moaned a lot, watched The Aviator. And it rained out! More to come! I love that it is finally cloudy out. Thank you for the weather Lou! Much appreciated!!
Jen~Lovely look as always! I think I would freak if I had to pack some of my makeup away at this point. I love having everything at my fingertips for new looks. I seem to be going through a phase of using various palettes (Naked, Two-Faced) and my NARS duos, which I love. Fairly basic looks, but loving them for simple summer styles. Still, I can't wait to break out some darker colours for the fall and holiday season!!
Shadowaddict~Have fun with all your travels! I've never been out west and seem to migrate northward all the time. I wonder why? lol I wonder if there are any MAC and Sephora stores near James Bay? Hehehehe...
Lou~lol @ cat puke. I can't do human puke. Or dog. Cat doesn't bother me. It barely hits the tummy before it is back up. Ewwww. I also have a very strong sense of smell and it makes me sick to smell other sickness. Then again, baby spitup never bothered me. Messy, but not the same. That is what happens when you babysit infants and have tons of nieces and nephews! I bet I am freaking you out right now, so let's think happy thoughts! Snow! Buffy! Glitter!!
Back to the heating pad!

Sorry about your cramps
I too am not very well right now. I started getting a sore throat a few days ago but now it is hard for me to swallow and I have a permanent head ache It's my day off work today so once i have cleaned the house i shall be relaxing in hope that i am a bit better for tomorrow. i also have been taking various pain killers because i have ear ache in my deaf ear i hope everybody has a great day!
I'm so sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Colds are horrible and I think even worse in the summer, especially if you are running a fever. Take it easy and drink lots of liquids to flush it out of your system and stay hydrated. It helps to feel less stuffy. I think the day you start is the worse one. The sore throat is terrible, you ache, you feel miserable and every time you move your nose drips. Earaches are no fun, either. Do you have a loss of hearing in one of your ears? I loss partial hearing in both of my ears ages ago due to an infection and the left ear is the worse one. My father is almost completely deaf, between age, genes and destroying his ears by not using plugs while using a chain saw as a younger man. In spite of 2 hearing aids he doesn't hear much at all, at this point. He always sits near me at parties and gatherings or at the table because I seem to be the only one with patience to help him understand things. I also know sign language, which he doesn't, but I filter it into the conversation anyhow and it does help with visuals. I hope you feel better soon!
My cramps seem to be gone! Yay! They were pretty painful this time around. But I am super overtired. Lately I have at least been able to sleep during the night, even if cuddled up to my heating pad, but not this time around. Today is about catching up, healing, mending, recooping! Thursday my first Ulta order arrives and I can't wait. There isn't much there...just n/p by China Glaze and Butter. But I cannot get those anywhere else around here and we don't have Ultas, so looking forward to this. Too bad shipping is so incredibly slow. Not selling any tarot at the moment. I have sold a lot and not sure I want to sell anymore or not. I thinned out my collection quite a bit. A lot of people are away on summer vacation and things are very quiet on the forum anyhow, so not much buying and selling going on and those that are are not getting half of what the decks are worth. So, I will enjoy the break from it all!
Reading Age of Innocence, must do my nails, naps, food, the usual mellow stuff is on tap for today! No wild plans!!

well that is excellent that your cramps have gone! just make sure you relax, rest and soon you will be at full health again. i'm totally deaf in one of my ears which sadly cannot be fixed (that's what i have to show from being in an abusive relationship many years ago). my throat is now much better but head feel so stuffed up! it's not very pleasent at all! but here's hoping i will be better tomorrow.
i am off to bed now but before i go please check this thread out - Share the love! - somewhere where we can share why we keep coming back to specktra - be it for info, the people, the swatches or even the sales! lol!
Oh gosh, Lou. I am so sorry to hear this. Lots of hugs to you and may the rest of your life be full of love, happiness and safety. Know you are cherished. xowell that is excellent that your cramps have gone! just make sure you relax, rest and soon you will be at full health again. i'm totally deaf in one of my ears which sadly cannot be fixed (that's what i have to show from being in an abusive relationship many years ago). my throat is now much better but head feel so stuffed up! it's not very pleasent at all! but here's hoping i will be better tomorrow.

I hope Day 2 of the cold is easier on you. Make your nasty new AM do everything. Or cough on him. Hehehe...
it's cool - i am at peace with what happened now but i used to get very upset remebering what i put up with and how stupid i was for staying with such a person.
day 2 of the cold is a little better mainly because i can talk and my throat isn't as sore. i have a bad headache and the sweats but i would rather that than my voice to be affected! i'm at work but have brought lots of drugs with me! lol!! and the AM is actually settling in a bit better now. we have spoken about things and have gotten things in the open - i think we both had a wrong impression of each other. it turns out we actually have very similar personailties. which means when we have the same opinion it is brilliant, but when we dissagree there are fireworks! lol! i still may cough though! lol!

^^ Hi, Lou. Glad you had things in open now. At least you don't have to keep guessing. Hope the 2 of you can find a way to work or communicate, perhaps let nature take the course. Get well soon, too. I've been knocked down by the flu bug. It started last Wednesday with a bad throat and it just stayed the same over the weekend but worsen this Monday, with body ache, headache and running nose. I'm back now but I still feel weak and tired.
Jenn - you look beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm in a makeup rut and I want to look at more of what others are doing to shake up my makeup.
shadow - funny story about the mice. I hear mice squeaking at night downstairs (I live on the 3rd floor). If they come into my house I'll go mad. It's worse if they are those huge, dirty rats. I've come across mice in the parks, they are smaller and clean looking. Rats are huge and scary looking. lol sorry if I'm not making sense, the flu bug is still here.

Hi gang! I'm having a weird day! It started off slow, then I got into full swing with starting to put away my spring/summer decorations and beginning to pull out a few fall things. I usually do this on August 1st, with just touches here and there, but it is supposed to be super hot again, so decided to get a jump on things early. Plus I dusted and polished the first floor so it was a perfect time to do it. One thing keeps leading to another and more and more stuff is coming out. I am not sorry for it either. I am sick of seeing the silks and decorations I keep out from January until now (I need to find winter, but non Christmas decorations!) and the fall stuff comes down on Nov. 1st because the house is completely transformed to Christmas by the end of the first week of November! It is the only holidays I decorate every room for (not counting the bathroom). Fall/Halloween gets almost every room. Anyhow, I was having fun until my cramps unexpectedly came back. Boo hiss. But we are about to have a nice fattening yummy warm dinner from Boston Market. Chickens, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, corn bread, and chocolate cake. That should cheer my body up! I lost 7 pounds so a little fun is in order!
On the MU front I am in the process of a bit of reorganizing drawers, looking over my MU, ordered a few goodies from Sephora, including the UD Anniversary palette which I am very excited about, and my first Ulta Haul arrives tomorrow!! And I am eying yet another bag from Coach. My husband is going to kill me. This time I have no tarot money, but I plan on begging a lot. Wish me luck!!
Off to get a few things done before he gets back. Loving that the evenings are a bit shorter and though still quite warm out, the slant of the sun is changing and I know fall isn't far away. Hurrah!!

Hi Debi! Great that you started to put away the summer decorations and put out the new ones. Hope you can share some pics with us when you are done. I love your decorations. Your dinner sounds very delicious, I wish I had some too. Congrats on losing 7 pounds. Did you start on an exercise regime? Sorry if you had mentioned before as I haven't been keeping up with the thread. Let us know what you time of the UD Anniversary Palette because I am thinking of getting it but not convince it is worth my money. Hope you can get the coach bag you are eyeing. You are an inspiration because you suffer from the cramps regularly yet you are always spirited and upbeat. My flu has made me felt dispirited and brought out the worse in me - moaning, complaining, blaming everything.

Thank you for the kind compliment! I can get grouchy or more upset when I am sick to my stomach but the cramps have become a norm for me, so I try to make the most out of any good or bad day! Today I got a lot done and hope to do even more tomorrow. I put up some decks to sell, but as the sale ends soon as a VIB I got my purse (ordered) with the 100.00 off again and I am psyched! We watched Fairy-Tale; A True Story and burned a cinnamon bun candle and had a mellow night! Now I am finally off to bed as it is after 1am! Yikes!!!
Here is my new bag and will take pics once I have it. I will start using it late August and into September and whenever I don't feel like brown and want a pop of colour! I have sweaters, coats, gloves, scarves and makeup that will match it well....even nail polish!! lol The perfect Bimbo Bag for me! Hehehe...

Hi Lou. Hope you get well soon too. My back was hurting more than usual too and I got bad dizzy spells. Sounds like the same thing. Try to take some vitamins c if you have them. And my ears are blocked too, maybe that's causing the dizzy spells. Are you getting the UD 15th anniversary palette? I have the Alice book and the NYC book, but not Naked. Wondering if I should get Naked and/or this new palette.
Hi gang! I am so sorry to hear you are both feeling ill. There seems to be a lot of flu going around. And all the same symptoms of sore throats, cold like symptoms, but aches and fevers, as well. Some stomach things, too, which is odd because it seems to be worldwide and usually summer is a healthier time. I am having some sinus infections and even read that beauty guru TiffanyD is sick. Lots of the gurus are sick! I think everyone should do tutorials on how to sanitize your makeup after being ill and how to cover up raw red noses!! Feel better soon and remember it just has to run its course and the worse is over. Stay rested, drink lots of fluids, take naps at work. Hehehe....
So, that yummy chocolate cake must have been super caffeine-ed because I could not get to sleep until after 4am! I was totally wired and now I am exhausted. A quick breakfast, a bit of digesting and I am going back to bed for a while! Then I want to pop back into action and put out more decorations and get this 2nd floor dusted up nicely. No bites at the new decks up for sale, but not much action going on so will just have to be patient and wait for people to return from vacations! I love my Bimbo bag. They showed me this when I went in last week. They were not to go out on the floor yet, but they said I could buy one since I was a preferred customer and bnought out 8 different bags to peek at. So I did have the chance to touch all its patent leather shinyness and see what it would look like on me. I was torn between that and my black one and hubby preferred the black because he feels patent leather looks like plastic. lol No sense of fashion from him! I mean, I have nail polish that will match this stuff! Anyhow, I love my black one, but this will be the perfect transition purse for fall, before I want to wear brown or whenever I don't feel like brown all the time. the black purse looks so wintry right now! And I have noticed in a lot of online hauls and magazines lately that patent leather is in, so I will be stylish. It just looks like pure fun. I have a feeling next year I will be exploring other brands of purses for different looks and pulled out my big brown leather boho from Eddie Bauer that I got last fall. I've turned into a bag lady! Haha!

and maybe the chocolate cake has a crazy amount of sugar in it? sometimes ice cream has the same effect on me! i can't fall asleep after having it! lol! and Debi you have got me looking at bags now too! I went to look at some Radley bags which is a nice UK brand.... lots of soft leather to touch! some were on sale too but i must resist!!
Oh goody! New video and I am a bad influence on you concerning bags. Cool! I definitely am having fun! I have tons of bags from Stone and Co which is, I suppose, a low end bag or medium end bag, that I bought in hoards from Macy's or Filene's when they existed and when I preferred smaller bags. Grey, brown, burgundy, black, dark green. I have a whole bunch in my closet still to be used. The larger ones I will use for those messy snow days in the winter and the smaller ones that have long straps for cross body wear I use when attending Mass, when we go into the city and I don't want my bag ripped off me and such things like that! They will find their use. Next I expect I will start saving for special higher end bags. But what are the brands I should be looking for? LV, Chanel, Prada, who else? And who is good and who is not good. Saw some Michael Kor bags that looked nice until I looked them over and was not particularly impressed. I need a brand list!!! For now Coach is providing me with some great styles and colours and lots of compliments, so I guess us New Englanders are not big into fashion bags and have a tendency to have our nose in a book instead of noticing such things!!
