Hey Cass! I'm sorry we missed you Friday.
Huuuuuuge Cookout at the bar last night. Unfortunately, the cook had one too many shots and I had to cart him home before the thing was over. I did get to see a friend and her girlfriend shortly before we left which was nice. I hadn't seen either of them in a while, and I know they were having a sort of cooling off period with a mutual friend which is usually the only way I get to hang out with them.
Spurred by jealousy over a friend's getting a job that will give her a foot in the door to her dream career, another friend going back to school to do what she really wants to do, and various buffistas and other meat-space people making big life changes, I'm looking at a job change. I'm neither generally unhappy or miserable about work, but I don't really look forward to it either. I think that current events have sort of conspired to push me toward making this change too. I'm not going to quit tomorrow or anything, but I'm putting pieces into place. It's a pretty big shift of focus, if not actual skills, so I feel a little adrift. Excited, but overwhelmed.
ION: Tim may have the cutest beagles, but I have the cutest damn puppy on the planet. He's laying in my lap with his head in my robe sleeping and twitching and occasionally grunting. He has also amassed an impressive collection of gumballs (not the chewable kind- to anything not Oz anyway- but the kind that fall from trees) that he keeps near his crate.
I have survived the Little League Death March. Our team had four games and Emmett snuck in an extra game with another team. He looked tired out there today. He pitched well in his one inning (striking out the side), but was missing balls while catching and only got on base once with a squibber. But we won anyway, and had contributions from less likely sources. It was a more fun game than yesterday anyhow, and now we're back home and I've got a very tall, very limey vodka tonic.
Oh noes! Tarantino's is not answering their phone. I hope they aren't closed for Memorial Day. I might cry.
Hooray for the new life, Heather.
My last BPAL order included "Mi-Go Brain Canister". It came with its own squishy brain. Squishy brain is good.

Yeah that was too bad. But my friend ended up having awesome news at work when the evil overlord and his wife were summarily fired so stuff got all caught up in celebrating that. It was, however, great to meet you even if it was briefly. Next time I am in Dallas, I want to hang out more though.
Squishy brain is good.
Squishy brain good.
I just finished watching the Indy 500. I am frelling giddy and bouncing. This is so damn cool.
That race RAWKED.
The fact that I know this, I blame on Cass.
Wow! Go cute friend of Cass.
I cannot get motivated to do anything I need to do right now. Maybe chips and salsa will help.
ETA- Was watching the race when Mr. H came in and asked what I was watching, and then why. Suddenly he'd plopped down to watch it too. Ended up having to 'splain to people we said we might go see the DBT performance with that we wouldn't make it as we were getting our redneck on.
Cass, I haven't tried that Aveda moisturizer, but I need to go pick up some Self Control Stick, so I may very well try it.
Aimee, stupid fuckheads piss me off to no end.
The fact that I know this, I blame on Cass.
Not an apology in the world for this. It was so amazing! God it was so damn good...
Go cute friend of Cass.
Yeah, we raised a toast. I think I am going to get a copy of the email and get it framed for him. Ding dong the dick is gone...
we were getting our redneck on
BWAH!

Do we generally like their stuff? I have really horribly sensitive skin so having something that will even out my skin and not irritate it would be great. Moisture, sunblock and some tint together would be fabulous.
Do we generally like their stuff?
I adore their stuff. They big on the botanicals and pretty Earth-friendly. I dig a lot of their hair care products but have only dabbled in skin care samples on account of being overly loyal to Mary Kay skin care. I've never had sensitivity issues, though, so I don't know whether or not it might cause you problems.
Here's the list of ingredients:
Bergamot*, Iron oxides (mineral pigments), Lavender*, Lemon*, Malachite, Mica (talc alternative), Resveratrol (plant anti-oxidant from Japanese knot weed), Rose*, Titanium dioxide (mineral sunscreen), Tourmaline
Have any problems with those?
