Man, that GSD bitch is gorgeous.

But I got me a dog, don't need another. Although my sister texted me yesterday that she's "got a line on a puppy", which I think means a StB bitch. I really wish she would switch back to Goldens--at least you can take them running.

We're all puppy enamored at the moment, since we saw that pup that looked just like Seabiscuit at the Kansas Humane Society page. But she was gone from there before we could get her, so now we're all looking around. But realistically we can't adopt until after the summer anyway, and I don't think it's a great idea with all our travel. Wrangling one 60 pound dog across country is enough work as it is!

Also! People should warn before they post Sephora links on days I'm supposed to be getting shit done! And along that rabbit trail, OPI doesn't sell online direct, do they? My Kmart apparently sent back the last of their OPI stock, much to my dismay. They should have sold it to me at a huge markdown! Just when I had decided I needed pinks, too. So now I don't have an OPI source. I'm sure I'll be near something this summer, but I doubt I'll have time to shop.

I'm sorry!

Pucci - what could I do?

I am constantly wrangling with desire for a pup vs. tackling the responsibility for a pup. I am always watching the rescue sites. I can't quite commit.

So the Nissan Leaf (a new electric car) can be charged by towing it while someone in the Leaf rides the brakes (due to regenerative braking).

Hey, makeup type folks -- I recently bought the Bare Escentuals foundation starter kit and really like it. The makeup artist at Sephora told me to blend the two shades together on my hand, then swirl the brush and apply. I asked her why I couldn't just mix all of them together in another container, and she said I couldn't do that. I don't understand why. Any thoughts?

something to do with the heat in your hand or oils on your skin?

you got me.

It just seems silly to take the extra step to open each of them, tap out the powder, and swirl on my hand. Not to mention the extra hand washing step.

This is morning, and EVERY SECOND COUNTS!

I asked her why I couldn't just mix all of them together in another container, and she said I couldn't do that.

Just try it with a little bit of both shades, like on a plate or something. It's not like mixing them on a plate (rather than your hand) is going to cause them to combust.

t edit What I mean is, if it works on the plate, it'll work in a container.

And I imagine it'll work in a container. I can't think of a single reason why it wouldn't. I think the people at Sephora are just trained in A Specific Process and don't deviate from The Process.

Maybe if they sit packaged together for too long, the color will change a bit?
