Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hmm. I do also have a pretty good amount of lotion and bath stuff. I should actually use these things.

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

Dana, what about higher end versions of the beauty products you do use? Or a perfume, if it's not triggery for you?

What about a super-nice hairbrush? Or other hair stuff?

LIKE A GIANT MINNIE MOUSE BOW.

Okay, maybe not that. (BUT DO IT.)

I have perfume that I don't use enough of.

I'm...sensing a theme here.

I could get some lipstick. And the hairbrush idea is intriguing, though I don't actually know what the difference would be between a drugstore hairbrush and a fancy hairbrush.

ETA: Holy crap, there are $100 hairbrushes?

Yep. A good boar's head bristle brush is a thing of wonder.

I have heard that the fancy expensive hairbrushes are fantastic, like Maria says. (I use a $6 drugstore one because most of the time I don't even brush my hair since it is an insane curly tangle.)

I could get some lipstick.

Sephora carries Besame Cosmetic lipsticks now, which are really great.

Ooh thanks for that reminder! (Want to start spending that paycheck I haven't gotten yet!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay lisah!!

I am going to scream. I'm working toward a deadline, due to being on vacation next week, and need input from one team. A member of that team told me that they would have time to review yesterday. I sent the draft, and today heard from a different member of the team that the two main people are actually unavailable and can they get back to me early next week? I AM ON VACATION!!! I can't decide if I should leave it for my colleague to finish up or if I should just suck it up. (I wish my vacation were abroad in a location where it would be hard to spend a couple of hours working, but it is not.)

ARGH NO!

I think my standing 4-5 pm Friday meeting is getting cancelled today which means I could may run and get a pedicure.
