Catching up....

So, as my sister pointed out to me yesterday, I blogged every day in November, but I can't get ONE post up for August? Well that's just plain unacceptable.
So, here are the weekend plans.

*MHM got his wisdom teeth out on Monday, and he's busy being pitiful. He's been staying at my apartment and sleeping until 11:00 when I call him from work to see if he wants anything for lunch. Lucky for him he's a cute one or I'd kill him from the jealousy. All that sleep. It just is not right. Anyway, he's been in a significant amount of pain, so he called the dentist this morning in anticipation of the long weekend (filled with pain). They were not surprised. Now he's staggering the Demerol with Advil and that should help some. He's just going to have to wait it out. And develop a prescription pain killer addiction.

*Last weekend when I was in North Carolina I saw Superbad with some friends and I think MHM needs to see it. The drugged state could only make the movie funnier. And I want to see it again.

*I bought an obnoxious amount of MAC makeup whilst in NC. NO, I take that back. It was not obnoxious, it was just more than I really should have gotten but screw it, you only live once. The MA did this amazing smokey eye thing on me (appropriate, what with Smoke Signals being their new campaign), and I LOVED it. I didn't even look like a drag queen! So I have come to work not once, but TWICE this week with sexy smokey eyes. I needed blush anyway. AND they have a fantastic eyebrow gel, and I think I've said on here before that I have these eyebrows that are incredibly wimpy looking because they are blond. I'm not talking pale, I'm talking white and invisible. So she slapped some of that Brow Set on those puppies and I have more eyebrows than I ever knew I had. Big brows are coming back and I'm going to ROCK THEM. So I only got 4 things at MAC, but it was a tough decision. I wanted strobe cream. And lip gloss. And other things, but for the most part I could find cheaper alternatives from Jane at Walgreen's. (I just got an eyeshadow called "Sungloss" from Jane which is this really great neutral nude with a hit of shimmer or subtle sparkle to it. It is really great for blending other shadows or wearing on its own.)

*In light of the recent addition to the makeup box, I'm going to try to depot the new eye shadows so I can get them into an E.L.F. palette. And yes, I have enough makeup that saving the space will be worth it. It's also convenient since I'm out of town every other weekend, if I can get shadows and highlight in 1 case that's a big space saver! The E.L.F palettes are wonderful- much more sturdy than MAC's and they have a mirror in the top so it saves even MORE space. I bought an extra one in case they get discontinued. Anyway, here is the method I will use to snap those pans out.

I guess this post has revealed my true makeup whore tendencies. I love makeup. One of my favorite books is Carmindy's "Five Minute Face". I never tried highlighting before I read that book but now I don't see how I didn't do it before. I use Wet 'n' Wild mega eyes in "Cream" and it is such a great highlighter. It looks like a blah yellow in the container, but it is actually a shimmery creamy color. In case you haven't noticed, I am not above buying drugstore brands, particularly in powder formulas, as I usually can't tell the difference between those and high-end brands.

I don't think I could live without makeupalley.com. It is a great sanity check when I really want something I saw on TV or in an ad. The reviews haven't let me down.

Age

(So, I realized today that my post about sleeping pills followed by a cryptic silence probably isn't cool, but then I realized that there are only 2 people who read this blog, so it doesn't matter. Both of them know I'm alive.)

Am I too old to like Plain White T's Hey There Delilah? It's a great song, but I'm feeling like I should be about, oh, 15 years younger when I listen to it. However, I still love it and I'm thinking about getting the CD, the rest of which will sound nothing like this song.

I stop myself from doing lots of things that are probably (okay, completely) age inappropriate given that I will be 30 in 2 years. For instance, sneakers with skulls on them. I LOVE THEM. So cute, so fun, so, I don't know, girly-piratey, but do I really need to be a girly-pirate right now? NO. This is appropriate from MHM's niece but she if four years old and obsessed with Disney princesses and the color pink and being bossy. You just know she's going to be THAT girl one day. She's a powerhouse. Black skulls on her pink shoes? No problem.

Other age inappropriate stuff? Fun hair junk like barrettes, bows, clips, headbands, etc. Also, all of that really bright jewelry at Target that is about 2 degrees shy of 1985. (I did buy some wooden beady earrings from that collection, but they're navy and I don't know how they got included but they are super-cute.) T-shirts with fun, abstract prints on them that say random things like "Moon Sky Glow" in such a distorted print it takes you two days to get that those are actually WORDS on there.

My biggest temptation is makeup. Oh the glittery, sparkley, bright, fun, makeup! Eyeshadow with chucks of glitter bigger than my eye? COOL! Lime green nail polish! SCORE! I never wear the stuff, but it is sooo pretty. The colors are great if I do end up making the mistake of buying $5 worth of Wet N Wild, I can usually work it into a collage or something (NOT on my face). Maybe I have more of a color addiction with makeup than an acting my age problem....

The point? There was no point. Just imagining walking into work with my hair in a bow that matches my electric teal earrings which go so nicely with the kitten-toe heels featuring chains and skull charms. RIGHT. I don't even wear kitten heels.
