Thanks Pixie! Yes they grow up soo fast! We have to cherish every moment! My son is already planning to go to college in the west coast!!
Wow! What a motivated little dude! That's great that he's so focused... speaks volumes about your good parenting!
My son wants to wrestle for Penn State. If that happens, he won't be too far away from Ohio. So I'll get to drive and bother him all the time. I can't believe that is only 4 years away! Wowza! I'm not ready!

Sounds like your little guy is focused too! I also have a 9 yr old boy & he's the complete opposite.. I picture growing up to be surfer traveling the world in search of the perfect wave and the older one a computer geek or what do they call the these days "hipsters"

Could I be selfish and ask May 12th everyone wear blue?

The health condition I have is called M.E. and May 12th is M.E. day!

I'm in!!

Oh my. Sorry I've been Mia lately. Looks like I missed a lot. So sorry that I wasnt here for you all having a hard time. I feel terrible. Thank goodness there are plenty of wonderful people on here to lend a listening ear. But I'm back and won't ever leave you again!! Lol ;) @peachtwist, @naynadine, and @ilovemakeup84 My heart and thoughts are with you. I will pray extra for you. And to anyone else struggling, Hang in there! :hug: @debbs. You have overcome so much. Bravo for you for moving forward and taking care of yourself! I truly believe the bad times shape who we are, makes us better. Doesn't seem like it at first. The hurt doesn't seem go away, you just find ways to cope. @hergreyness You kick as a girl!! You stood up that... excuse my french...asshole. Good for you. He's not deserving of the awesomeness that is you! And we only have black shirts at work but I will Def rock some blue shadow on the 12th!

Annnnd @pixiedancer...I totally realized that I dont think I ever responded to your post about what I said making you tear up. I searched for the post with no avail. But I fondly remember reading it. For the life of me though I can't figure out if I responded. And if not... it meant so much to me reading that. Reading that it made you tear up made me tear up! Lol you are such an astonishing person :hug:

And I've started organizing everything, not just make-up! For example, I have A LOT of clothes. My weight has fluctuated drastically the past few years, so I have a variety of sizes. Plus I just haven't gotten rid of much. I get attached. But recently I've been feeling that I only want to have clothes that I love, that fit well, or that serve a specific purpose. I've started sorting through everything, and I'm feeling happy to be getting rid of a lot. I'm giving up things that are more than 1 size too small. I have dropped several sizes in a short time before (break-ups and moves to different states), but I'm no longer saving everything just in case that happens.
And today I found some old photos of my a Dad that I forgot I had. Normally I get so sad when I think of him, I miss him so much. And when I'm depressed or anxious, I usually shop. But I didn't today! I even felt some brief happiness when I looked at them. Typing this is making me cry, though, and that makes me want to buy something nice, but instead I'll go to sleep.
Little steps...
Big hugs to you!

You can post your FOTD details here or on the Theme Makeup thread... link is in the first post. YAY! Gonna pull out my purples!

I'm a silent visitor to the thread---I'd be a major hypocrite to say I'm interested in a Low Buy. At my age, I'm on a YOLO buy. Myself and others have joked that if we
joined the thread it would go up in flames and/or self destruct. That's not to say that I don't admire each and everyone of you. What I see in this thread transcends your
individual and collective financial goals. I see love, I see support, I see friendship---all at a very low cost. You're all so amazing!!!

To Pixie, @Naynadine, @ILove Makeup84, @HerGreyness, @Paint&InkChick, and Debbs my dear sweet Debbs, and anyone else here going through life's hardships be
it family illness or loss, relationships or school, I may not know how to Low Buy, but I do know how to pray and to care. In reading your heartfelt posts I have prayed and I
do care. I wish for nothing but the best for each and everyone of you.

Has your son been to PA before? I assume he'd be going to State College? (The main campus)
