I realize we've sort of moved on, and I should be talking about Neil deGrasse Tyson (but won't), but: for work, I wear Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation and some blush, and that's it. I should probably wear more lipstick, but eh. I do put on chapstick semi-obsessively. Weekends, no makeup.

I feel like I'm living in a freaking rainforest.

I don't wear lipstick on a regular basis. I should wear more.

I have a pet peeve that makes wearing lipstick problematic on a daily basis. I hate lipstick stains on cups...they gross me out. So if I do bother to put lipstick on in the AM, when I get coffee on my way to work, I have to wipe off my lipstick before I can take a drink.

(Oh don't be all logical and suggest I bring my lipstick to work and apply it after I have my coffee. There is no room in my mornings for logic.)

You know that point where the milk hasn't quite gone off, yet, but, when added to tea, you end up with congealed bits on the sides of the mug and on the surface? Yeah, that.

Whoa, where is everybody? We've decided on a place to rent in Cincinnati: [link] The street dead ends across unused train tracks and down a hill into the Whole Foods parking lot. That could be dangerous.

It's absolutely pouring outside. My office has so-so climate control which doesn't include a dehumidifier, so everything inside is soggy. bleah ... guess this is what I get for living in a swamp.

For makeup and skin care I tend to stick with Clinique - it was the first I came across that didn't irritate my skin (we go way back) and it seems to work. The Superdefense is a moisturizer with SPF, plus I wear the tinted moisturizer over it. One thing others might try - I use two coats of mascara - the first coat is a lash lengthening one that doesn't thicken, but then the second coat is a thickening mascara. Works for me, but YMascaraMV.

That's a great area! I almost rented an apartment one street up from Burch (I think it was Besuden). Those streets seem nice and almost secluded despite being right off Madison close to Rookwood. You're also dangerously close to Busken Bakery.

t edit That driveway probably has room for a drill press. IJS.

flea, I'm glad you found a place; it looks very nice. Good luck with the move!

flea, that looks lovely. Yay!

Yay fleas! Good luck getting there...

Hey Jen (was it Jen?), did anyone tell you you can turn off all the "helpful" stuff your trackpad can do in the mouse (?) preferences?
