My box of Clinique goodies arrived yesterday which means I'm wearing some make-up today.  Subtle stuff, very work appropriate.  The MAC eyeshadow is just too heavy for every day use.  And I'll be buying my mascara from Clinique from now on.  It has the non-clumping awesome.

The "Clarifying Lotion 2" (read: toner/astringent) is pretty potent.  ( Read more... )

Oh Pat Buchanan, it's way past time to retire, buddy.  Being stodgy is only going to get you so far with the seniors.  To the rest of us literate folk, you just look like a doddering ass.

Boyfriend and I had a giggle last night, watching Rachel Maddow  correct some of Pat's statements from a previous show:

Can't remember many details of the dream other then it was a blood bath.  I kept wandering from room to room, marveling at the buckets of blood splatter.  I think there was some sex involved but I can't remember what, when or where.

I went home and continued to be active.  God alone knows why.  Managed to knock out 30 minutes of DVD yoga before my ( Read more... )
