MissQQ-- Do you find the MUFE lift concealer to crease at all? I've been thinking of picking this up.
Debi-- I can't wait to watch "King's Speech" I along with a gizillion other women fell in love with Colin Firt when I first saw him in "Pride and Prejudice" and I also love "The Importance of Being Earnest" as I love Oscar Wilde.

Debi--forgot this...I saw that you also love children's lit, no doubt you've read many works by Louisa May Alcott. I of couse loved all her children's books and as an adult searched for more of her. Have you read her darker stuff? I find the contrast so interesting and telling about her. Here's a few I love.
"The Long Fatal Love Chase"---love this one
These are collections of adult short stories:
"Behind a Mask: The Unknown Thrillers Of Louisa May Alcott"
"A Double Life: Newly Discovered Thrillers of Louisa May Alcott "
"Plots and Counterplots: More Unkown Thrillers of Louisa May Alsott"
I am also a great fan Jane Austen, but really who isn't?

Sally are you in the medical field or a volunteer? Sorry if I have missed this if you have mentioned before.
I can't even imagine what you guys are going through. We feel so helpless in helping so far away. Stay safe Sweetie, you have lots of support from all of us here.

Lou~Even though I have had my day in sales, I am very good at persuading a person that they NEED something. lol Maybe because I am so good at persuading myself! lol I will look into the highlighters!
For fans of Colin Firth, don't forget one of his best hunky movies "Valmont", which is based on Dangerous Liaisons, but has a bit more wit and comedy in it. I love that version! And he is such a charmer in it that you can't get upset over him!
ShadowAddict~I live about 20 minutes away from The Orchard House, as well as Sleepy Hollow, where Louisa May Alcott and family are buried, along with Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau and others. It is a wonderful area to live near. We do the tour every year and attend the Christmas specials as well. I have read all her darker novels or "pot boilers" as she loved to call them. And highly recommend another excellent novel of hers..."Work". Very autobiographical of her work as an adult in Boston and local areas.
Sally~I can't even imagine what it is like except again, it reminds me so much of 9/11, the destruction, the chaos and trying to find live people in the rubble. We were friends with John Ogonowski, the pilot of the first plane that crashed into the towers. My aunt and uncle had lunch with him at his home (a farm, as he was part of the Dracut Grange and Conservation Society) less than 24 hours before it happened. My husband's coworker was servicing one of the towers, got out, but debris hit him on the back of the head as he walked away. He slipped into a coma and died 3 days later. Always a very hard day to remember and I can't watch that video of the first plane anymore, even though we are pretty sure he died shortly before that in a struggle to keep the control of the plane. So, I think I know some of the sadness and shock going on over there. Wishing you all the best, lots of prayers and strength, lots of hope still for anyone trapped and injured.

This is my first atempt at posting a photo so I hope I'm doing it correctly.
This is my baby Ishmael. This was taken a few years ago with his beloved red football.

^^ What a sweetie pie!!! He's adorable!!!
Hi again, gals! Thanks for all your concern - I'm around, but I'm still sick so I'm sleeping off most of my day and trying to catch up on schoolwork for the rest of it. Because of this, I haven't been too active on the threads - but I'm still lurking as much as I can! It's just tough to keep up with all the posts, sometimes! I have to try and make an appointment to test my pulmonary functioning because I'm hacking up a storm and can't breathe, although my initial doctor's visit found nothing. My week has been all kinds of fun.
Sally, I'm so sorry to hear about all the devastation in NZ right now, but I'm so glad both you and Blair are safe! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hope you're all happy and well!!
xoxo

ShadowAddict~Gorgeous photo and dog! Sheltie or Collie? They have such beautiful faces! Thanks for sharing!
Jen~lol Just wrote to you again. Ya didn't think I would let you off that easily did you? I am so sorry to hear you are still sick and hope they can fix you up fast. Have they put you on antibiotics? I love Zithromax. It has knocked out every case I have had of Bronchitis or sinus infection I have ever had, and I get a lot of them. Drink loads of water, put a humidifier in your room if the doctor okays it. Sounds like you have a nasty case of something that doesn't want to give up.
Lots of hugs and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Jenn, thank you and so sorry to hear you are still ill. As Debi said drinks a lot of water. I hate medical tests also but at least they're checking to make sure all is well. Hang in there and I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Debi, thanks. My baby is a Sheltie. He had already started losing a bit of his fur in this pic. When he started losing some the vet ran blood tests and was diagnosed with hythyroidism and his big brown eyes don't look as bright as they used to. This was kind of funny as I was diagnosed about 10 years prior. We are both on thyroid medication. So I guess he gets it from his mommy

That sucks, Lou! Are you staying at home today? I hope you are!oh i forgot to tell everybody about my exciting night
oh yeah! we're not going out anywhere today. i got up at about 8am (not late enough but kitties wanted their breakfast!) did a little bit of house work and now i am just on the net. i will most likely have a nap later on today.
Aw, Lou. What a bummer. But don't let it get you down. Just take a super mellow day, play with kitties, watch a movie, order makeup (that always helps..hehehe...) and take a nice long nap. Pamper yourself today so you will be fresh for fun tomorrow. It is okay to have a mellow day in your vacation, just don't let it get stressy and frustrating.oh yeah! we're not going out anywhere today. i got up at about 8am (not late enough but kitties wanted their breakfast!) did a little bit of house work and now i am just on the net. i will most likely have a nap later on today.
If it makes you feel any better, I was up until almost 2am with cramps. At 1:30 I decided to have a bit of fun, use my Mineralized foundation from MAC for the first time (what brush are we supposed to use to apply it???) and then some Benetint. Came out cute, dewy and fresh! Tossed on some perfume and fell sound asleep. By then the Motrin had kicked in. Woke looking like a delicately flushed princess. Tired, but cute! lol And my Sephora order comes later today! Woot!

I want more sleep! Sandy's been a little bugger... He wakes up as early as 6:15am in the morning to take him out for potty. Usually he will not leave his bed until 8ish... He was staying with my best friend (who wakes up as early as 6am to get ready for work) when we're on vacation. I think he's used to waking up early now. It sucks to go outside so early in the morning especially when it's -12°C. The sky is clear and it's so sunny today but freezing cold. I've had enough of this winter!

I've had enough of this winter!yeah i have been having a nice relaxing day. watching some tv. dylan amused me by stealing a straw from my glass everytime i wasnt looking at it! i the end i gave it him to play with! i swear he prefers free stuff to actual toys! lol! oh and i wont be buying make up today - because it is macbook pro day!! i'm just waiting for the apple store to go live now! i shall buy the top end 13'' one i think. i want trhe bigger hard drive and faster processor! some people are moaning about no dedicated grpahics card but this doesnt bother me at all - i dont really play games anymore so dont need it.
and i am sorry about your cramps. are you feeling better today? and which mineralize foundation have you got? i use the mineralize one that comes in the compact and is very creamy. for that i use a 188 or 130 brush to apply. the 130 is great because it's chubby but stubby so good for getting in the nooks! and benetint is a great product! ands thats cute about looking like a flushed princess - sadly i did not look that good when i woke up! lol! and i hope you enjoy your sephora goodies when they arrive!!!
