I’m good but pretty distracted! I’m trying to figure out how to wear Urban Decay’s new Stardust eyeshadows. They’re a little more sparkly than I’m used to (but still VERY pretty).
Yup, to cherish time with friends and family.
HUGE fan. Ever since Terminator, which I remember watching at the tender age of eight! I love how anything’s possible in science fiction — the endless possibilities and cool technology and stuff like time travel.
Yay, but only in carefully controlled amounts, LOL! Too many and I start lookin’ like a short, tanned Blanche Deveraux.
1) I don’t have any tattoos, 2) I’m starting to see myself as a photographer, 3) I love to swim, 4) I have tiny wrists and a mole on the bottom of one foot, and 5) I used to love going to the library with my dad when I was a kid.
It’s not sexy, but Cetaphil rocks my world. It’s just four bucks, plays well with my sensitive skin, moisturizes and works everywhere, from face to body.
I guess I’m doing okay with mine. I’ve started to pay more attention to what I eat. I’m trying to stay optimistic and realistic about, though. Bad habits don’t change overnight.
Jeans, a brown turtleneck sweater and tan socks. 🙂
Reconnect with some friends I haven’t spoken to in ages, try a new low-fat recipe every day (I can’t wait to make this linguine with garlicky clams and peas dish), get in some exercise, and find some new music.
HELLOOOOO, ladies! It feels like we haven’t talked in forever!
Even if you’re reading this at chow time, I always like hearing from you. 🙂 Let me know what’s shakin’ on your end of the keyboard. Just copy this here list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.
Talk soon!

OM Gwarsh….you’re back……I was worried, wondering if you were shake,rockin’ & rollin’ in the Bay area this weekend. We had some shaking going on here too today…..funny thing is ours was construction related (yet I swore I was an earthquake…..LOL).
Glad you’re back!!
1. Mood: Tired…I was sick from last Wednesday, through the weekend and boy am I exhausted. Nothing like illness to drop you on your butt!
2. Are there any life lessons you wish you could have learned sooner? I wish I could go back and redo 8th through Freshman year of college…..those six years would be the best to do over, knowing what I know now…..
3. How do you feel about science fiction? Most of it I like…..Star Wars, Star Trek, that kinda stuff
4. Sequins — yay or nay? Definately NOT head-to-toe….a DISCO-ball I am NOT. Subtle Sequins are the way to go!

6. Tell me five things about yourself:
I’m a sucker for glitz & glam (my family calls me “princess”)
I love my dog, Kona
I love sugar (by BIGGEST vice)
I love watching Guard competitions (marching bands)
My favorite movie is Love Actually
7. Favorite bar soap? Dove Fresh Burst (Nectarine & White Ginger)

10. Weekly goals: Start using my new food diary app that I got for my iTouch. Clean off the clutter on the top of my dresser & the top shelf of my closet. Get rid of ALL of the wire dry cleaner hangers that have seemed to multiply like a litter of rabbits…..

c) I love the Simpsons, and completely identify with Lisa.
d) I’m about to get up and make Tamale Pie for dinner.
e) MAC used to *really* intimidate me. Several years ago, I visited a friend in the city, and we went to see the Easter flowers at Macy’s. She got a makeover from MAC (it was some jungle themed collection, really bright colors, and they had models wearing body paint and butterflies). I was, I don’t know, embarrassed or shy, or something. I went and had some natural look done at Prescriptives . . . I wish I had it in me to walk in and ask for a really OTT makeover, but then again, I don’t need a look like that, so it would be a waste of time for the MUA.
7. Favorite bar soap? I’m using the Dove Sensitive Skin bar right now, and I like it. I’m looking forward to trying out the Amazing Grace bar that came with the set I got for Christmas.
8. How are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? I didn’t make any. I am always trying to eat more healthfully and work out more, but it’s not a “New Years” thing.

2. Are there any life lessons you wish you could have learned sooner? “Sometimes being minimalistic can really make your outfit that much better.” Seriously, I don’t have a great wardrobe but on days like today when I throw on a blouse I haven’t worn in forever and some old jeans, I look great instead of frumpy (which has been the norm for the last few weeks thanks to frigid temps).

I have a 4.0 GPA and I don’t have a clue how I did it, lol!
