Don't Ever Leave Me Alone!

This, my friends, is what happens when I am left by myself for a few days. I take multiple pictures of myself, trying to capture just the right one, to send off to Ken to let him know that he better be making his way back to his hotel room so that we can watch "The Voice" together.

I start off nice...


Then comes the finger pointing...

...and the more I-really-mean-business-don't-miss-the-opening finger pointing...

...and finally conclude with the passive-aggressive glad-you-made-it-on-time look.

The season finale of "The Voice" was no surprise but it was a blast watching the season unfold! And it was funny how both Ken and I thought that my old fave, Christina Aguilera, was still oddly sexy, albeit being a bit large and in charge.

(Hopefully I can get my camera back in business to download pictures so that you don't have to look at my fuzzy phone pictures. Sorry!)

Happy Belated 4th!

This was our patriotic breakfast made from blueberries, vanilla yogurt, and strawberries!

And this is my precious Old Top trying to get as small as possible during all the fireworks:

Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday! We spent ours watching bad movies with subtitles (Inglorious Bastards and The Way Home - two very similar movies but that's what happens when you pick movies without reading the back....**cough, cough**ken**cough**).

Family Reunion

Just thought I would post some pictures of the day!

Endless Biscuits

A couple of weeks ago we decided that we needed some of Red Lobster's endless biscuits. We determined that if we were homeless, Red Lobster is definitely the place to go. If you can pay for a drink, you totally have it made with the endless biscuits.

It was nice to get out but at the end of the day, we still prefer to stay in. Making your own food in comfy clothes, eating it on your tall bar chairs (they work really well as t.v. trays!), on your couch, in front of the TV, with your favorite dogs keeping you company, cannot be replaced. Who says you have to talk during dinner to be close? :)

(Sorry for poor pic quality - they are from my phone.)

Still There?

Nope, this is not the zoo. This is some crazy plot of homes beside Lowe's in the middle of the city. They had all sorts of birds: peacocks, roosters, grouse, you name it. They also had llamas, sheep, and an ostrich (or emu?). I think this peacock ruffled his (her?) feathers to show off to the big blue bird (known as the f.j. cruiser) that kept staring and wouldn't go away.

Oh My.

Yep.

Makeover Time!

This weekend I signed myself up for a Nars Makover at Sephora. Nars is a brand of makeup and I was in the market for some new makeup anyhow. I've used their bronzer before but wanted to walk away with something different. Here I am before I went, sans makeup:


And here I am walking away with "something different":

That's a lot of makeup, isn't it? I wound up purchasing The Multiple in Orgasm (...I know. But it's upposedly their most universal color that flatters everyone), a makeup brush to apply said orgasm (...I know...), some primer, and lipgloss in Turkish Delight. I even got a free gift! It was a bit dinky if you ask me (only a small thing of sparkly black eyeliner) in comparison to the free gift I got from Estee Lauder the other day when I bought a tube of face lotion. $45 at Estee Lauder gets you two free lipsticks, two eyeshadows, toner, face wash, and a jar of wrinkle-fading face lotion (much needed for my forehead wrinklies). And a sweet makeup bag. Boo Sephora! Boooooo......

My parents waited patiently for me while I was getting dolled up at Sephora. Because I was taking so long, they wound up purchasing a new wedding band for my dad (it was a total steal and totally him). Not bad when you're trying to pass the time, right? What other choice did they have but to get it? I certainly wasn't coming out any time soon. Plus, they were hungry. The best decisions are always made when your tummy is talking. Just kidding! Love the ring and I'm happy for them!

And here I am the next day, made-under but still madeover with my new makeup:

What do you guys think? No makeup, too much makeup, or just enough?
