[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Steph, I've never tried it, but if nobody else claims it, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I'm still on the hunt for my OneTrue powder foundation.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Epic, it's yours. Email me your address (my email is in my profile, if you don't have it) and I'll send it out, probably next week.

We have really similar coloring, so it might work well for you.

This was my thinking as well.

Also, insent.

Okay, I need a business-like-ish way to say, "No, I won't take care of that, because it's your job, not mine. So stop asking. I'm not your mommy." Or something to that effect. 3rd Frickin' Request in 24 hours to "just take care of that, won't you..." Grrrr

eta: Halleluia! At least on request #3 somebody else in the actual correct dept said he's already taking care of the request that his boss just implied that I should do. Such a nice young man.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thrive to spite them

So I bought a L'oreal BB cream at the drug store. I did see a tinted moisturizer but it was twice the price of the BB cream and L'Oreal was the only one I could find that had a really light shade in stock. I tried it tonight and under the house lights it looks okay.

My face really only sweats when I'm putting on make up - maybe I get nervous or something.

I don't know when I'll get to Sephora there isn't a free standing one here but there's one in the mall. Although the last time I went the sales associates were too busy giving each other make overs to even greet me. (the one I went to in NH back when I had sales induction was super helpful).

Also that bag is similar to what I'm looking for only something a bit narrower. I found this one [link] and this one [link] which are out of my price range a bit but maybe I can throw them on my xmas list and see what happens.

Today was very long. I felt so tired and I slept badly. I keep having to get up in the night to pee and I've been having weird dreams. Plus my feet were hot then theey were cold then they were hot. Not all of me, just my feet. So I didn't sleep well. Work was a lot of "I don't think this is going to be on sale on Black Friday, here let me look at the ad we have up." And people who don't seem to care what their computer does as long as it has really specific cosmetic things.

Then my period started. I don't know what is happening but in the last two years I've gone from having super irregular periods (2-4 a year) that were really light to having fairly regular periods that are heavier. so then it felt like I was running to the restroom every hour which makes me self concious.

And tomorrow we are having a big meeting about Thanksgiving/Black Friday at 7:30 am. UGH. I don't want to go to that.

I should probably already be in bed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Now that I'm older, my formerly combo skin is dry, plus uber sensitive. I get eczema and rosacea, lucky me! Hence the need for something to smooth out the complexion a bit.

Crazy more sensitive. I didn't know my skin could get more sensitive. But I'm at a BB year round now because it's got a sunscreen that my face tolerates. Mostly.

"I'm sorry, but that's not in the scope of my job. And I'm buried under my own responsibilities right now. Good luck in getting it taken care of."

I'm using this.

Today I actually got to say, "oh, are we just saying that now? Out loud? I thought we didn't say that. Out loud." When it was clearly stated that one person at work is unreliable, won't do his job and is basically a hot mess. Of course I also clearly told my boss I had murderous feels when confronted with stupid clients. She laughed. And refused to fire me. I pleaded. She also brought her husband's truck to help me take a ginormous crate home. I like my boss. Except when she refuses to fire me. Probably that's good in the longer term.

I get this not infrequently. But I realized it's anxiety usually. Not about makeup but often makeup is getting ready to leave the house and, ugh, people.
