I’m having a hard time concentrating, but otherwise I’m peachy. The response so far to the Clarisonic giveaway has been amazing! Don’t forget to enter if you haven’t already. It takes less than a minute. 🙂
Programmable coffee makers (nothing like waking up to a fresh brewed cup), Tabs when he sleeps beside me in bed, the sound of marimbas (don’t ask).
Pretty darn well! It helps that I went to bed early. I planned to continue the book I’ve been reading, Her Fearful Symmetry, but conked out after a few pages. ‘Twas heaven!
I want to work on becoming a better photographer and a better cook. 🙂
I’m MAC Colour Crafting it today — Assemblage Mineralize Eyeshadow Quad on my eyes, Madly Creative Lipstick on my lips and Cheeky Bronze on my cheeks.
Fruit cake! I especially can’t stand it when they’re hard and chock full of weird red and green mystery fruit.
I like those plaid button-up shirts and the floral dresses with the clips in back, but I don’t miss the little black backpacks and spaghetti strap dresses with white baby-ts worn underneath.
Dark jeans, a green T and a black sweater.
I have a mountain of work to get done before we leave early next week to see our family in Hawaii. If I can just keep from catching the cold that sidetracked El Hub last weekend and hold myself together, things will work out fine.
Good afternoon, ladies, and Happy Monday. 🙂
The sun finally decided to come out and play today, and I’m feeling pretty good.

Hi Trude,
Chocolate makes everything better. 🙂
I must check out that serum! I have some post-acne scars that need some help. I’ve been using Clinique Get Even but I dunno if it’s working as well as it was before. Have you ever tried it?
I haven’t tried that one, but I will say that with the Aveda serum I noticed a difference within two weeks of using it once a day (if I have, say, a big event coming up I’ll use it 2x daily) and it keeps on working! I’ve tried other things like Neutrogena’s get even mask and such but nothing has come close!

Le list
1. Mood: Quite tired. I’ve been sick all weekend, and I still feel crappy. Mondays don’t exactly help either, but I’m finally starting to feel better.
2. Three things that bring you joy: The smell of my lovely Christmas tree, apple cider and Christmas lights. Pretty much just Christmas in general.
3. How’d ya sleep last night? Hmm….I fell asleep on the couch around 9:30 watching Slumdog Millionaire (best movie EVER) then woke up again around 10:45 and went to bed. I then woke up at 6:35. So actually pretty well.
4. Something you’d like to improve about yourself in 2010? I want to adopt a positive attitude about things. I’ve finally realized that complaining about crap really doesn’t get you anywhere.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Rubenesque paint pot, Photograuve eyeliner, Covergirl Lash blast mascara, Angel blush by NYX and some CO Bigelow lipgloss. Typical me.
6. What’s one skincare product you find yourself buying over and over again? Cetaphil daily moisturizing cream, it works very well and you can get a massive tub of it for like $15 at Costco.
7. One type of holiday food that you refuse to eat: well I can’t imagine myself eating a massive chunk of fruit cake, that is for sure.
8. How do you feel about ’90s fashion? Um.. not so much for me.

3. How’d ya sleep last night? Pretty well. Sunday was laundry day so the sheets were soft, cozy and smelled fresh. Room was cool. Makes it hard to get up though.

7. One type of holiday food that you refuse to eat: Can drinks count? I hate egg nog. Fruitcake (soaked in a lot of rum) is more tolerable.
8. How do you feel about ’90s fashion? Indifferent really. Moved on but like everything else, it will be back one day.
9. Outfit: Now that I’m home: stretched out tshirt, pj bottoms and warm socks. Comfort mode to do a little holiday baking with hair up and a glass of wine.
10. Weekly goals: Knocking items off my to do list so I can enjoy the week of Christmas with a clear conscience and come back to work without feeling so far behind.
I love finding money in pockets and purses, too. 🙂
It doesn’t have to be much either — even a dollar bill brings me joy!

7. One type of holiday food that you refuse to eat: I haven’t come across anything I’d flat out refuse yet.

Hey Tammy!
I’m actually thinking of getting a bunny (as a friend for Tabs). Are they lots of work?
Hi Karen,
Sorry for such a late replay. I should make sure to get email notifications next time! Anyway, bunnies are really great pets. Whether they’re a lot of work or not really depends on the personality of the bunny. Mine is not much work at all as long as she’s fed and gets lots of time to play with me. All I do is clean her house (aka cage) every day and make sure she gets lots of veggies and hay. Her food and litter can be expensive. Then again, I give her the stuff that’s considered top of the line. Yup, she’s a spoiled diva.
The hard part was training her to do her business in a designated area when she was a baby (she’s 2 years old now). Socializing her took a lot of time, since she’s a prey animal and doesn’t trust easily. I also had to “bunny-proof” everything to keep her away from chewing wires and other dangerous things.
I can go on and on, but don’t want to clog up your comments area too much. If you want more details, I can send you some links about caring for rabbits. 🙂

I liked Kate Winslet’s clothes in Titanic though, particularly the blue one (the one she wears while getting a tour of the ship) and the sinking gown and the dinner dress that turns into her wedding dress.
