I have lunch errands to run: cash for the handyman who is leveling the spot for the trampoline (DH finally gave up after he hurt his back trying to do it), Target, and Ulta. I am spending $$$ on new eyeshadow and primer, and I have zero regrets.

What primer are you looking at? I've started using Too Faced Shadow Insurance and it's amazeballs. It's about $20 for the teensy tube and worth every penny.

I have a Sephora GC from my bday and I am having the hardest time deciding what to get. I know I can wait, but I want to spend it NOW.

I will have to check that out! I was planning to get the Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I'm also leaning toward the UD Naked2 or Naked3 eyeshadow palette, but I'm open to suggestions.

I have the Naked Smokey Eye palette and I love it. I don't think you can go wrong with UD primer or the Naked palettes.

I'm skeered to do the smoky eye IRL! I'm afraid I'd look like a juggalo.*

ETA: *Not that there's anything wrong with that! You do you.

It's actually pretty neutral and I've been practicing so I can figure out what works and what doesn't. The brush that comes with it is tres excellent.

I've definitely had a few 'juggalo' moments. But I figure that's good practice for the face-painting booth I'm going to set up at the Juggalo march.

@mrsconn23, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's dad! My own father had a fatal, totally unexpected heart attack at 49. He was in great shape! Exercised and ate well. We chose to have an autopsy done and apparently he had a heart defect that had never been diagnosed in his lifetime. Sometimes, you just never know. It's always terrible to lose a parent, but I can sympathize with your friend and @MissKittyDangerthat it can be especially reeling when it comes out of nowhere.

@sparklepants41, I'm not pregnant, but I was itching like CRAZY last night. It seemed like half my skin itched. My H told me the humidity had dropped way down yesterday and that is probably what was causing it. Living in the South has apparently ruined me, lol. Now I need excessive moisture in the air at all times or my skin goes nuts.

@VarunaTT, a Frito Pie for breakfast sounds amazing, lol. I think we all need days like that.

Today after my work half-day, I am doing some grocery shopping and going to our new duplex to take rental ad pics that my H can't seem to ever do right (see my rant from yesterday). This evening, my H and I are doing our p/t IC job together, picking up a cool gift from Harrahs (Mardi Gras polo shirt), and then trying out a new restaurant for dinner. We haven't decided where yet.

Saturday, same p/t IC job with H in the morning. Then we have a brunch mystery shop at one of our fave restaurants.

Sunday, probably putter around the house and do some cooking...waiting for the Superbowl to finally come on. It's times like these I miss living in CA. Where the Superbowl started in the late afternoon, lol. We kinda dislike both teams, so it's a sad one for us. Hopefully the ads will be good, lol.

Sidenote, I don't generally dislike the Patriots, but I'm tired of them winning so many SBs in recent history. Sorry @sparklepants41 and any other Pats fans on here. But then, Atlanta is the longtime rival of my Saints and are in the same division. So I can't root for them either. And not that the Saints were much competition for them this year, ugh.

@Heffalump Odd question, what's your skin colouring and eye colour? I'm fair and blue eyes so Naked 3 works better for me.

I was actually kind of leaning toward the 3 for that reason. Fair, green eyes here. I think you just helped me make up my mind.

OMG NAKED 3 WILL LOOK AMAZING FOR YOU!!!
Two of my friends have green-ish eyes {one fair, other olive toned} and I did they're makeup with Naked 3 and it was amazing! There's dark colours that you can play with to attempt at smokey eye

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's dad, @mrsconn23.

I have taken these VitD supplements for a little over a week, and I feel like a whole new person. I have no idea if it's actually related, or if things are just looking up, but I won't question it. I may be in need of a placebo effect in the future. My energy level is better than it has been in months, I'm not struggling with my normal sleep schedule, and best, I have no desire to sleep through this weekend and be a couch potato. My mood is also fifty shades brighter than it has been in at least a year. I was almost sure I wasn't always such a negative person, but it had been so long that I was never positive.

So we're going to dinner tonight (not grudgingly on my part, for once, I might even dress up!), and we're going to shop for bookcases tomorrow. AND THEN FILL THEM WITH ALL MY BOOKS, AT LONG LAST

I can't wait. It's the very last piece of the unpacking (not including DH's tools; that's his deal).

VarunaTT · February 2017

@AtomicBlonde I told you I felt like a new person, so IDK if it was a placebo or not, but I'll take it. And it's fast to go insomnia, low energy, and general blahness if I don't take my supplements for more than a week (really it seems like 3-4 days, but I'll say a week just to be fair).

MissKittyDanger · February 2017

@AtomicBlonde I've heard many people that end up with a VitD deficiency start to feel like a whole new person once it's balanced out. Glad to hear it's helping

{Tbh apparently a lot of dr's check VitD before diagnosing mental illness}

Yay bookshelves!!

sparklepants41 · February 2017

@AtomicBlonde hooray for you feeling better! And for Vitamin D! And for your bookcases! I love new things that help me organize - drawer dividers, bookcases, filing cabinets - I'm doing a happy dance for you!

kimmiinthemitten · February 2017

@mrsconn23 I'm sorry for your and your friends loss. That's so tough.

@drid I only participate in challenges that include alcohol, not exclude them haha.

@atomicblonde - glad you're feeling better!

I'm 99,000 light years behind at work and a friend brought her puppy in, so there goes the afternoon.

I got the hair did yesterday, and went shorter, blonder (ish) and did the shave! Love it. I'm not really blonde, I'm too olive toned for that business, so we added more highlights to my bangs. And the undercut is so fun!

OurWildKingdom · February 2017

Huzzah to feeling better, @AtomicBlonde!

I'm so sorry about your friend's dad, @mrsconn23.

Tonight, FW and I are going to a play. My brother isn't in the cast this time; he's working backstage instead.

Tomorrow, I'm going to a social justice teach-in. I'm really excited, but I can't decide which workshop to go to, because they all sound amazing! After that, I meet with my sponsor, then probably a chill night at home because FW is going to be hanging out with a friend.

Sunday, I'm going to sleep in and do some laundry, then we're going to FW's BFF's to watch the Super Bowl. Truth be told, I'm not that interested in who wins; I'm just in it for the food, the commercials, and listening to one of our friends reading all the tweets.

I'm doing a happy dance for you too, Atomic! I'm so happy to hear that you're feeling better.

I love your hair, @kimmiinthemitten!

OliveOilsMom · February 2017

Atomic - That's such great news!

Kimmi - Love the hair!

Everything came out great in the ultrasound and Baby is measuring right on schedule! She is also in the proper position! YAY!

Afterwards, we waited for the doctor to go over the ultrasound and H starts saying how at one point, he thought he saw the Stay Puff Marshmellow man in the ultrasound! The tech was trying to get something in the baby's stomach and there were 3 black spots that formed what looked like a face. It was really funny since he was very specific in the moment in which out daughter's stomach looked like Stay Puff.

It was basically this face:

You guys. I love my eyes. I was impatient, so I redid them in my rearview mirror in the parking lot when I got back to work, LOL. Factory on my lids, Limit above.

@VarunaTT, I wanted to believe it when you told me. It seems to be true! (Or I believed it enough that it just proves the placebo effect, haha.) Blows my mind that a simple vitamin has such a dramatic effect on every aspect of an individual.

MissKittyDanger · February 2017

@kimmiinthemitten welcome to the undercut life, you'll never go back

@Heffalump ooh!

MissKittyDanger · February 2017

@OliveOilsMom *gigglesnort*

thefanciestbeckler · February 2017

@kimmiinthemitten LOVE the new cut. it's adorable.

@Heffalump nice choice!! Love those colors.

@OliveOilsMom yay for a healthy baby!

charlotte989875 · February 2017

Love the haircut @kimmiinthemitten!!

sparklepants41 · February 2017

@OliveOilsMom that's fantastic news that your baby is healthy!!! And I think what your H saw in the ultrasound totally gives you permission to eat more marshmallows - in the name of helping that healthy baby of yours grow

GBCK · February 2017

@thefrancisbeckler, who the hell brings someone w/strep in. ANd of COURSE it's contagious, that's why he's not allowed to be in friggin school.

And on that topic, I woke up w/o a voice today. I'm supposed to be driving home from making ice-cream with first graders at this moment, but I was doing frantic texts (can't call) to find someone to cover when I was whisper-shouting at the kiddo to get her butt out of bed today.

And I had to let the cold meds wear off so I can go pick her up from school in a few.

Friday!!
