Not looking forward to the colonoscopy

Yeah, it's not super fun, but (and you've probably heard this before) the actual procedure is really no big (I mean, for the patient - not much you can do), it's the prep the night before that is not so fun. I actually really enjoyed whatever drug it was they used to happy me up before the actual scoping. And the doc was a little late, so I think I got a little extra. Barely remember the procedure itself. So, there's my anecdotal experience for you.

My eyelashes hit my glasses when I wear any of that lengthening mascara. I didn't know short eyelashes were really an issue for anyone until I saw the latisse commercials. And then I was like, FINALLY. GENETICS DEALT ME A GOOD HAND.

Product rec: Dior Iconic Mascara. I loves it.

Also NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned. Which sounds very Jilli. It is velvety without gunking up in the corners.

I gotta get on some more movement kick -- i just turned 39, and I am sore and unbendy. Now that it's nicer out, I'll get Arthur out for more walks.

I have to go to PetSmart tomorrow and get some flea dips and a flea comb. Arthur's not a problem to bathe and treat, but the cats have never been dipped, and that's going to be a PITA. I will have to take pix of their indignant wetness...providing I'm not bleeding from the throat. Gimlet will go CATatonic with the shock, and Greer has a long, silky coat that will be a pain to comb through.

But it must be done. Poor Arthur is CRAWLING with fleas, and so is Greer. The upstairs cats have a few fleas, but nothing compared to Arthur and Greer. Maybe I can just dip Arthur, Greer, and Minnie and flea comb and Frontline the upstairs cats.

I took the Bendryl on top of the Zyrtec, and I am pretty McGrogged. But the nose drip of death has stopped!

My lashes are fine with mascara on, too. I need a new one, though. I liked the one I had, but it gunks up more easily than it used to.

Also NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned.

I really want to try the new Clinique Chubby Stick, even though the name of it makes me titter.

Ooh! Thanks, I need a mascara rec. Mascara is the last makeup thing I have refused to do. I have long straight eyelashes, so I'll need a curler too. My mom's male cousins got all the gorgeous thick curly hair and gorgeous thick curly eyelashes.

Erin, you might be able to get away with just putting Frontline or Advantage on the upstairs cats, but if the downstairs animals have a lot of fleas, you may have to Frontline them too after they are bathed, I dunno how long a dip will last, but I think the Frontline or Advantage will last longer and be a bit less stressful on everyone. The dip may/may not kill any fleas that are in the house, and those suckers will jump back on a freshly bathed critter and lay eggs, so at least the Frontline will kill 'em if they bite, and the eggs too.

I have short, sparse eyelashes, but the Latisse thing about possibly changing the color of eyes freaks me out.

Oooh -- Dawn! New Skulduggery Pleasant ON MY DOORSTEP TODAY!

I don't remember exactly when I started subscribing to Sassy, but I know I read every word of every issue of the last 3 years before it was turned into a weaksauce version of Seventeen, and I never ever cut a single page out of any of them. They live in a box in my dad's closet for now, along with almost every Spy from 1991 through about a year after its near-death experience. If I can manage to restock my lost collection of McSweeney's early issues, that'll be Matilda's college fund right there.
