Plei! I made my reservations to come see Tickybox today! I will send you the flight information soon.

Yay!!!

Oily around the nose and forehead, which causes some caking if I'm not super careful, and then my eyes...I need something to smooth them out.

Maybelline's Pure Makeup is getting raves on the makeup boards, especially from people with combo skin.

Bottom line is, whether I question my friends' decisions or not, where they are trained and I am not, I leave it to them. I'll pass on my concerns, but the bottom line is I cannot control them.

Thinking I'm crap at taking care of myself isn't controlling me. Only one said they'd pass their concerns on to anyone other than me, and then only if he wasn't in a position of authority.

I have no beef with that, and feel no disrespect off it. Perhaps selfishly, since I feel that way about more than one of my friends.

Wait, is that down in Fells Point/Highlandtown? Cause I think I've eaten there and it was omigodgood.

If not, putting it on my list.

It's in La Plata, dunno if that's the same area. If you do end up there, let me know how you find it. Bob says it's fantastic.

See where you have to start kicking, sarameg?

OK, so I'm dense, people. Sheesh.

I feel like I'm just shoving my foot in everywhichway when I don't mean to. I'm not good about being very clear about now.

Also, La Plata is on my list of favorite place names, due to it being pronounced "luh plate-uh."

Will try, Plei. I'm thinking of going burqa til I find something that works. Oy.

no kicking of me.

NO BURQA MISSY! You've got a gorgeous face. It'd be a shame to hide it.

Allyson, it does seem highly unlikely that makeup is somehow turning you ugly. I mean, makeup that isn't special effects makeup, anyway.
