I have a stash of letters I’ve received from friends over the years, some of the notes more than 20 years old! I’ll dig them out when I’m feeling blue. That always helps to cheer me up. 🙂
Two slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter.
MAC Creations Hue in Naked Honey.
My left eye is still red and watering from bad allergies yesterday, so I’m skipping the eye makeup this morning. I am, however, all over the Smashbox Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss in Boundless on my lips and Benefit Posie Tint on my cheeks.
The skin around my eyes looks extra puffy, boo!
Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Lotus (a shimmery pinkish beige) from the Les Naturels de Chanel collection.
Stretching, Numi Mate Lemon Green Organic Green Tea (YUM!), the chirping sounds Tabs makes first thing in the morning, the lyrics from Beth Orton’s song, Sweetest Decline.
I’d like to go for a run with El Hub when he gets home from work tonight.
Get to bed by 10 every night, try not to have a nervous breakdown, and find a new fiction book to read.
Hi, ladies. I’m slowly warming up my mental engines here… Things are off to a slow start, but I’ll get there eventually.

another day at the office. i just scared the office kitty away by dropping the mouse on the floor, ha ha.
this weekend i went to visit my kitty who’s still with his mommy… he’s just running around acting crazy, totally cute.

Eyes/lips/cheeks: high beam on brow bone, clinique superbalm gloss in grapefruit, bobbi brown shimmer blush in pink sugar.
Skin issue: sensitivity/eczema. along with the occasional clogged pore.
I’m lovin’ it (makeup related): clinique superbalm glosses… a recent discovery – not sticky, shiny, a hint of color, and no weird taste. some “unflavored” glosses are awesome except for the chemical-y taste (NARS glosses, ehem. i love them but they taste weird).

Hi Ines,
I hope you’re taking a lot of pictures of Cha Cha! I’m so envious that you get to see him grow up from the kitten stage, as I would’ve loved to have known Tabs as a wee baby.
Those Clinique Superbalms and AWESOME! Soooo moisturizing. What color did you get? I have Grapefruit.
Mood: Awake and alert
Something you may not know about me: I’m entering 4th year of my chemistry degree in September *eek*

Fragrance: Nothing lately because of the allergies 🙁 But I was wearing Lacoste’s Touch of Pink before. Very pretty
Eyes/lips/cheeks: Baby Sparks d/g. I tend not to wear anything on my face because it just ends up on my tissues when I blow my nose! Darn allergies!
Skin issue: The mild acne on my left cheek doesn’t seem to be going away, and it’s been a few months now. Otherwise my skin is okay.
I’m lovin’ it (makeup related): NARS Sin blush. I wouldn’t normally pick that color (berry-gold) but it looks so natural on my skin. Oh, and bright-colored nails!

Working out today? I’ve scheduled a date with the elliptical machine tonight. Haha
Weekly goals: Keep the fitness plan going, talk to an advisor about my fall courses, stay positive and focused
Happy Monday Karen! Hope your week’s off to a great start 🙂
Hi Jacks,
Congrats on your fourth year! Will you be graduating after this one? What do you think you want to do when you finish?
hey karen,
right now the lady who has cha cha’s mommy is taking a bunch for me… super nice lady that takes in stray kitties and places them in homes. they have 24 cats in a big house in the montreal suburbs.
i have the clinique superbalms in grapefruit and apricot. been using grapefruit every day for the past 2 weeks – only thing is i wish it had sunscreen like the long-last glosswear (which i also love and have in bamboo pink and cabana crush). not a big deal – sitting in an office for the whole day anyway, and i can just layer some spf lip balm underneath. do you have any recommendations for spf lip balm?
i’ve been sticking to using MAC lip conditioner SPF 15
Hi Ines,
I’ve been using MAC tinted lip conditioner lately, too. 🙂 I also keep a bunch of Soft Lips balms all over the place! They SPF 20 — cherry is my favorite flavor.
I was at Target this weekend and was totally checking out the cat towers! I can’t wait to get Tabs one when we move. Do you have all of Cha Cha’s stuff all ready to go for when he moves in with you?
Hey Karen,
No unfortunately this won’t be my last year; I decided to take a co-op option so that delays grad by a year. I’ve been working at a lab since January. But after I graduate…who knows? I’m still young and there’s so much to do! Maybe I’ll switch it up and try something more artistic, like cosmetology or photography!
Hi Jacks,
Oh cool. What do you do in the lab? I barely remember anything from my chemistry years (I majored in bio), but I do remember titrating the HELL out of stuff in lab, LOL!

Working out today? yep. mile walk and sit ups.
Weekly goals: Have fun babysitting on Wednesday =]
yes cats do go crazy for the cat towers… make sure you get him one with SISAL posts, not carpet, or he’ll think the other carpet in your house is fair game for scratching.
i don’t like the taste of the softlips balms… it has as weird metholatum-y taste to it.
i’ve been thinking of getting nivea spf 30, although i have no idea what that tastes like either.
the lady is giving me a bunch of kitty stuff, which is included in the adoption fee (bowl, bag of kitty food, blanket from old bed etc.), but i’ll be buying a cat tower and all of that soon, in a couple weeks. tabs will probably like one with lots of lookout towers since he likes playing pirate kitty.
cha cha is still very little, so i may have to keep all the toilet lids and stuff closed for a while – a bother but it’s better than having a kitty stuck in the toilet while i’m at work. when i get him i will definitely take photos – along with that VERY VERY OVERDUE post on lip colors… he could be a guest mascot for a day or something 😀

I hope your week has started well!
