Not So Blonde

Quick like bunnies

Portland trip in a nutshell: Met my 6 week old great-nephew (bliss), hung out with fam, celebrated one of my brother’s birthdays, hung out here (cool place) with my niece, drank fabulous coffee, bought some wine at the airport, left my phone charger (I knew that was going to happen).

When I arrived home from the airport on Sunday night, it was to a pristine abode. I’m talking about when you open the front door, you wonder if you are in the right apartment.

Not that we live like pigs every other day, but, R really outdid himself before he left. He even changed out a burnt out light bulb in the hallway which I hadn’t mentioned to him. Yes, I knew about it and no, I hadn’t changed it myself. My bug phobia was preventing me from reaching into the sconce to replace the bulb. Shut up.

The small things R does are what make me feel really loved. I miss him.

I didn’t think I was that tired from my weekend trip but the 3 hour nap I took after I got home from work yesterday dictates otherwise.

It wasn’t my turn to pick up the kid, but, I made him come over to get a bug out of the washer. Yes it was dead, because I killed it (by turning the washer on) but the aforementioned bug phobia would not allow me to scoop out the yucky thing.

I rewarded the teen with Subway for dinner.

That $5 foot long business at Subway is quite a racquet. I looked at the receipt and I saved .89 cents a sandwich. BIG WHOOP.

I’m eating the leftovers at my desk. Not bad. Not bad at all. Still not a SMOKIN’ DEAL that annoying ass commercial would have you believe. Sniff.

Finally got my Bare Minerals order from sephora.com yesterday. LOVE. Serious love. I don’t think I’ve ever liked a makeup more. Except for that Bonne Bell bubble gum lip gloss I had back when I was 10  - and that’s only because I didn’t know any better.

Look forward to a quiet week and even quieter weekend. I need it.

Can I go home and play with my makeup now?

Recently…

Heard:

Me: What can possibly be worse than having a cold, being on your period, and starting a new job - ALL IN THE SAME WEEK?!
R: Being the boyfriend to the person who has a cold, is on their period… and started a job, all in the same week!

That R. Always stealing my thunder out from underneath me. Tsk.

Drank:

I hesitated to post this, as the after effects carried me through to the end of the day, clear up to midnight, POST-Advil PM. Advil PM was powerless to Master Chai. The drink IS really good, though, probably the best “energy” drink I’ve had to date. Up to and including the Rockstar Roasted Light Vanilla (I know I previously stated Rockstar Roasted tasted like pretzels but that was before I tried the light. The light much betta!)

Watched:

Rock of Love 2 and Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp. So, I got sucked into RoL Dos. The hours I should sue VH1 for that I’ll never get back, watching this train wreck!!! *pulls hair out in clumps* RoL puts the “T” in Trashy and the “K” in Klassy. Just too much. That Heather chick? Seriously? Watching her manipulate grown ass women would have been comical, if it weren’t so TRAGIC. You know what I hate most about this show? That the games these girls play to get Bret to love them, and the all-out war to win his affections… start to make ME think he’s attractive! Do you know how much that makes me want to vomit? Men+True Religion Jeans= NO. Just, no!

Celebrity Fit Club, on the other hand, is alright by me. Why, do you ask? The kid and I watch the show together and LAUGH. Ahhh, the sweet, forgotten, faraway tinkle of a teen’s laughter. Bellisima!

Want:

Panini Press. Soon, it will be mine! And I will feed Paninis to everyone, for miles around! *fist in air* Paninis for all!

Bought:

Loreal Advanced Revitalift Double Lifting. CAN WE GET A LONGER NAME, PLEASE. Anyway, I think I might love it, I’m not sure. I think I might have to take my makeup off before bed more than once a week to really see any improvement. What moisturizer do you use and love? And don’t tell me La Mer or some shit like that. That’s just a big ol’ tease and I’ll thank you to keep that particular info to yourself!

Considered:

Three separate job offers. I go from not enough jobs, to two too (ha!) many. I should be glad, though, some people should have such luxury. Pleaseletmemaketherightdecision! Ohhhh… Pleaseletmemaketherightdecision!!! ThankyouGodamen.

Pondered:

Why Vista has to suck so much unholy ASS. This post took me much longer to get up than such frivolous frivolousity ever should. With that, I’ll take my leave. And stick my tongue out at Vista! Stupid Vista!!

Go out there and be productive, peeps!
