OH! That's right! Today is msbelle's birthday. We should have made waiters sing to you or something. Picture someone in a sombrero singing happy birthday to you right now. My gift is that I didn't make that a reality.

Kat, I've had good luck with Elemis, but I hear their products are not being made anymore. They were expensive as hell, but they rock.

The spa on the ship had it. It was wickedly expensive. hmmm......

Also, I'm looking for a local place that sells Yogitoes Skidless microfiber towels. They say my studio does, but it doesn't seem to have any. Harumph.

Thank you all.

No singing waiters is a good thing.

Tapioca is made. Custard for ice cream is made. YAY for sweet dairy concotions.

Another who uses Olay Complete, at night I use an Olay cream that is thicker.

msbelle, I was trying to remember what you use in terms of makeup but I couldn't remember. Stupid brain.

I use Shisiedo powdery foundation that comes in a compact, then cheapo Maybelline blush, and a slew of different lipsticks.

And Maybelline mascara right? Cause I saw an ad in the paper for maybelline and it reminded me of you.

Or I'm on crack.

I found the yogitoes in Santa Monica. I need to go get one before tomorrow's class.

Happy Birthday msbelle!

I rearranged the living room. I had moved one of the sofas to the side to clean under it and decided that it was an awesome location. Now both sofas are angled in a way that will eliminate the daily position wars. I'm curious to see where each of the 4 of us will settle.

The objective today is to gather all of the Christmas stuff and get it put away. This was the objective last weekend too. Maybe it will be an objective next weekend.

Yes. Likely, she was mentally ill, which I also stated. Beverly suggested putting a note at the end about her death just a few weeks before I completed the essay, which I did, and ended it by saying that I hope her troubled mind is at peace.

I think that was the best way to go about it.

I agree, Allyson. She was fucked up and creepy and ruined that place for a lot of people. I'm sorry for her, but it doesn't wipe out the things she did. I feel bad for you on the timing aspect.

SOmeone come babysit so I can actually go see a movie?

I still haven't seen Harry Potter

Aimee, I still haven't seen Syriana, Good Night and Good Luck, Brokeback Mountain, Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice, or The Chronicles of Narnia. I still want to see these in the theatre and not wait for Netflix. *sigh*

Happy Birthday, Msbelle!

I have come to the conclusion that sugar-dusted Cajun fries are not a good thing. Though they came with a tasty BLTA sandwich, so it wasn't a total loss.

Agree with others that it was a good way to handle it. I wasn't involved with the Bronze, but it was an important essay to include in your book imo.

Are the Golden Globes on tonight?
