Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Love this, Karen! I like my job but, hooboy, sometimes the days and weeks get long! Someone tells me I can leave early and I am outta there!
Number 13…this one triggered me. Last week I wore a pair of jeans that I forgot about in my closet. I now remember why I “forgot” them. The high rise was way too high for me. I was so uncomfortable all day. I couldn’t wait to leave work and change clothes.
This really shows me how boring my life is. I haven’t seen the ocean since 1984; I haven’t been to the Gulf Coast in over 20 years (not that I miss that ugly brown water and beaches covered with dead fish and jellyfish). Most of my time over the last 7+ years was devoted to work, cancer treatment, and taking care of my elderly mother (may she RIP). I really need to get all the (bleep) related to the estate, and my put-off health care problems out of the way so I can take a real vacation before I die.
Clever post, as always.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to spell Wednesday without having to say “Wed-NES-day” to myself. Lol.
Whenever I need to buy food or litter for Nibbler, Dear Husband always tried to accompany me so that I won’t bring home a kitten from the pet store, too.
