Pretty good for a Monday. I’m a little bummed that the holidays are over, and I’m going through a wicked case of TJ’s Dark Chocolate Stars withdrawal, but otherwise I feel ready to face the day!
I love the ones I’m good at, ha! Fan of Tetris, Frozen Bubble and Bejeweled 2. I played Guitar Hero for the first time the other night and really enjoyed myself (how cool is it that you get to pick your outfit AND your guitar?). Games I don’t like tend to be ones that involve cars and/or shooting.
These amazingly awesome Star Trek Eggo Waffles!
Tabs purring. 🙂
Chanel Sparkling Satins eyeshadow quad, NARS Greek Holiday Lipgloss and Benefit Sugarbomb blush.
Oooh, girl, I rocked them so hard circa 1987 (along with slouchy socks and Keds without the shoelaces). Now, well, not so much. I like that they’re stretchy, but these days I need clothes that hold my sh*t in, you know?
Not really. At one time I followed hockey religiously, but now not so much. I do enjoy watching football and basketball playoff games, though.
A Vegas lounge singer, a veterinarian, a cat breeder and a fashion designer — all at once, of course.
Jeans, blue, white and gray floral long-sleeve shirt, my new favorite gray knit “Re-Run” hat from H&M. Oh, and black and pink Reef brand flip-flops.
To continue covering my “positivity wall” at home with my favorite quotes and some of your comments and nice emails, to re-schedule (I flaked the last time) my next dental appointment, to try out a new soup recipe and to break in the new Jillian Michaels Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD I got for Christmas
Rise and shine, ladies, and happy Monday! 🙂 Have a great day. Before you enter the fray, take a sec to check in with the first Monday Poll of 2010!
You know what to do G, bust a move…

1. Mood: urgh, don’t ask. Those days of the month and I just wanna go back to bed with mint tea and some romantic comedy, preferably with Cary Grant.
2. Video games — love ‘em or hate ‘em? Hate em….though I loved a game called Prehistoric 2…man that was a long time ago.
3. Last thing that made you smile?An unknown cat came up to me and meowed, and kept meowing and following me and I tried to persuade her that I was not her owner. In a busy street. I just started laughing, and all the people looking at me ‘ having a discussion’ with a cat….

When I started driving 15 years ago I didn’t like it, either. It just takes time and practice, like any skill. Do you have a trusted friend to go out and practice you? Sometimes that helps to mellow out the situation.
It’s not that I don’t like driving it’s that here where I live people drive like crazy (Balkan). And I doubt that any of my friends would mellow down the situation, I’m quite certain they would add to the flame haha!!
But I’ll start, I must!!

I gotta say, Duck Hunt is a lot of fun. My dad set up my old Nintendo a few months ago and I had a blast playing it.
Enjoy your last day off!

2. Video games — love ‘em or hate ‘em? Like them. We got a Wii for the family for Christmas, so I am rediscovering my like for some video games. More importantly, I got the Wii Fit and a Jillian Micheal’s workout video so I NEED to use ’em and get healthier!

6. How do you feel about leggings? I too wore the hell out of them back in the day, but mine were worn with metal concert t-shirts and Vans. 🙂 I have tried them out recently, but unless I wear a shirt that goes to my knees, I feel WAY over-exposed in them!

10. Weekly goals: Eat way better, go to bed by 9:00 during the week and exercise twice minimum.
I gotta say that some secretaries get PAID. In the legal field the secretaries had to put up with a lot of crap but they were definitely compensated for it.
Yeah I gotta say I can’t complain in that department. Biotech companies on the Peninsula pay pretty well also. It’s just really tedious and boring at this point for me!
I hear ya. Do you like who you’re assisting? That makes a world of difference.
Yes, she’s great and my department is great also. Tons of leeway and no micromanaging. It’s just so not what I actually want to do!
1. Mood: Surprisingly upbeat for being under slept and behind schedule

4. A favorite sound? My pup snoring, so cute.

10. Weekly goals: Finish applications, work on entry for a vid competition.
That game sounds like fun. I’ll have to look into it.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope that you get to run into your “interesting” person again soon. 😉

How ar you liking Sugarbomb?
I am loving it….I stashed all of my blushes in one mini-drawer last night while organizing, and I felt a little guilty…..they have had NO LOVE since Xmas eve…..I just can’t help myself…..it’s like Benefit got into my head and said, “What would the perfect blush color be for Donna?” and then they made Sugarbomb…..YAY!!!
Hey Karen! Nice to see you’re doing better 🙂

Funny, my BFF’s hubby plays WoW and he’s always trying to get her to join him in the name of “couples bonding time.” He’s a guild leader (?) or something like that. Apparently he takes his job very seriously!
And yes, watching Olympic men’s swimming totally counts!! 😉
LOL I never would’ve believed this “couples bonding time” business until I gave in. It took him maybe a few months trying to convince me before I tried. I think I was scared about the consequences if I liked it. 😛

Great pics from Hawaii! Thanks for sharing them with us. And bad, bad girl to show me that Chanel Sparkling Satins quad!

hi Karen!
I also posted this at my website [ http://www.mtl2phx.com ] & linked you!
1. Mood: Crazy happy — this is SUCH an amazing day. The official LSP launch was today, as well as a great article on LitSisters (in which I actually appear to be quite intelligent and not like the dorkus we all know I am!) and I’m back on my diet. After indulging on an hourly basis over the holidays, I’m back to my normal eating healthy regime, and planning a hardcore diet for a couple of weeks out.
2. Video games — love ‘em or hate ‘em? I’m big fan of old school video games. I don’t play anything made later than the SNES. I don’t play often, but sometimes when the boy and I need to de-compress, we’ll crack out the old systems and play Mario Kart.
3. Last thing that made you smile? The awesome article that came out earlier.

10. Weekly goals: With the launch of LSP comes a myriad of new work to do, but I want to get a few more chapters written, and wrap up the lose ends on the next LSP release, Poles Apart. [!!!exciting!!!] My only must-do is to make sure I take care of my foot injury. I have Achilles tendonitis and I need to remember to ice my ankle and try and stay off of it as much as possible. Tough to do!

2. Video games — love ‘em or hate ‘em? I always love playing “sandbox” style games, like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. You have quests to follow, but the world is so huge you can wander at will and do pretty much what you want. Kinda relaxing, actually!

2. Video games — love ‘em or hate ‘em? I don’t just love ’em… I’m ADDICTED! But not for consoles, mind you; the last few console games I’ve enjoyed are Super Mario Brothers, Tetris, and Wii Bowling (haha). I’m more of a free-web gamer: Bejeweled 2, Cake Mania, and the crazy games on Miniclip and Kongregate. I also just discovered Block Breaker for the iPod Touch, too… crazy!
3. Last thing that made you smile? Supportive emails from my family. Just went through a grueling job interview yesterday… needed to get over the shock. Also, a hilarious FB status update from my favorite hanai (extended-family) uncle, about how his morning has turned into an episode of Mr. Bean.

Eyes/lips/cheeks: Since it’s Tuesday in the Philippines right now, I’ll talk about what I did on Monday: I got a BeneFit Celebutante kit for Christmas, so I put Dallas bronzer on my cheeks (new favorite blush!) and Leggy eyeshadow all over. I followed the Celebutante instructions but used a different lipstick (because: hello germs!)
6. How do you feel about leggings? Only if I’m wearing a super-long, extra-roomy top. Or if I’m wearing something with a long skirt, which is what I always do with my leggings to keep the chub-rub at bay. Otherwise, I’d rather have pants. (Side note: We have Topshop right here, and they have “jeggings.” Yes, jean leggings. Ew ew ew ew.)
