The time change is playing tricks on my internal clock, so I’m a little sleepy, but otherwise peachy. 🙂
When I have enough time and the help of a good recipe to follow, I think I’m decent, but I’ve never made a dish that made anyone’s eyes roll back in their head.
A little bit of both! Makeup and shoes are my weaknesses…
With the right outfit, accessories and attitude to go with ’em, an opaque black lip could look super hot.
I haven’t finished getting ready yet, so for now just some basics: MAC Eyeshadow in Concrete in my brows, Dior Sculpt Concealer on my lovely dark circles and Dior HydrAction Tinted Moisturizer all over my face.
Management, starring Steve Zahn and Jennifer Aniston. As weird as he is in it, Steve Zahn cracked me up. It’s a quirky romantic comedy with some great unexpected twists.
I can deal, as long as they aren’t too big or too furry.
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs! Okay, not really. It’s clear and bright this morning. Temps up around 65 right now.
Dark skinny jeans (a big fat YAY for stretchy denim), white t-shirt and a tan blazer.
Get to bed before midnight every night, squeeze some push-ups and sit-ups into my workout routine, stay loose while writing, and give Tabs a good brushing.
Yikes, when did November happen? I can’t believe it’s almost 2010!

Hi Louise Gray,
How are you liking your Chanel Palette?
1. Mood: Getting more relaxed: it’s been a long day and now im winding down with a neck massage from my new Lush bar (LOVE IT) and music. (I actually bought the massage bar for me and my boyfriend to share…but by the time he comes back for thanksgiving I may have used it up!)
2. Are you a good cook? Actually yes, though I rarely do.
3. Are you a spender or a saver? Saver…hough when it comes to makeup I have to exercise a little more self-control (I’m getting better!)
4. Black lipstick? I like it! Not for everyday, but I’m waiting on that special occasion to whip out a glamorous black lippie. Maybe prom! (I’ve been hoarding the black lip gloss that YSL came out with last winter, maybe worn it less than ten times…and that’s mostly experimenting in the house…)
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Liner in Sequins, UD e/s in midnight cowboy rides again, perversion, sellout and twice baked, theBalm bronzer in Bahama Mama, Minted Rosebud Salve earlier but I just used the tip from the Lush massage bar article from a while ago on its other uses and used the Wiccy bar as a lip balm.
6. Last movie you loved? Blue Velvet
7. Spiders? Freak me out.
8. What’s the weather like out your way? Cloudy, cold.
9. Outfit: Purple t-shirt that says LGBTerrific with a rainbow, black skirt with yellow stars, sheer black houndstooth stockings.
10. Weekly goals: Clean turtle tank, basically get as much college stuff out of the way as possible, and stabilize my sleeping/eating schedule.
Hi Emily,
Cool shirt! 🙂
1. Mood: Groggy. I’m down with the sickness 🙁
2. Are you a good cook? Not particularly. I make mean desserts, that’s about it.
3. Are you a spender or a saver? Definitely a spender. But once I get out of college and start living in the real world, I hope that’ll change.
4. Black lipstick? I’ve never tried it, but I want to one day! I think I could rock a sheer wash of color.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: None. I look as terrible as I feel.
6. Last movie you loved? White on Rice! It’s on the film festival circuit and limited release nationwide.

1. Mood:
Okay. A little bitchy from pain but I’m fine.
2. Are you a good cook?
Depends on what I’m cooking. 🙂
3. Are you a spender or a saver?
Both. I tend to save for big things but when I see something that I like, I HAVE to get it. It’s a paradox.

Too stark for my uber pale skin. Would look lovely on black skin.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks:
Slight cat eye, standard cheeks, berry lips.
6. Last movie you loved?

Anyway, I hope you have a great week!

2. Are you a good cook? I’m a better baker. I’m still trying to understand how to improvise in cooking. Not very good at it, I’m afraid!
3. Are you a spender or a saver? Spender, unless I have something specific in my head that I’m saving for. But that’s just preparing me to spend! So bad.

Hi Trude,
I’m decent at baking too. What do you like to bake? I LOVE making cakes.
1. Mood: Optimistic. I already went through Halloween all week last week, so might as well look forward.

.-= Chris’s last blog post… Inspiration Avenue: Ghostly =-.
Hi Chris,
Where did you get your T? I need that shirt!
Don’t know when I start yet Karen, but they better hurry up and tell me (probably next week, the big wigs gotta call me)…I’m fixing for a spending spree @ my local MAC!
Hi Corina,
AWESOME! Is it a position you were really hoping for?
Karen,
She’s been glued to me all day when I wasn’t in school. She’s either been snuggling with me or kissing me. She normally latches onto my mom so the fact she’s being my little shadow is a little weird but very cute. I have to keep looking down so I don’t step on her paws because you can’t really gauge how close she is to you by the sound of her paws. She can literally be right behind you and you’d never know until you turn around!
How’s Tabs taking to being an inside kitty?
Hi Kate,
Aw, maybe she knows you aren’t feeling well and wants to cheer you up. 🙂
Tabs is okay… he only seems to get upset when I open the screen door to let the house air out. Smelling the outdoors and hearing all the sounds seems too much for him to bear; he mewls and cries. It’s actually really depressing. I just keep reminding myself that keeping him inside is better for him in the long run.
1. Mood: very tired! i had a long day at school, and the time change is just messing me up! but it’s better than losing an hour, i very much appreciate sleeping in till 7 instead of 6
2. Are you a good cook? I am a teenager therefore i know how to use a microwave. That’s about it.
3. Are you a spender or a saver? Ahhhhhh spender unfortunatly!! i spend my money like THAT!
4. Black lipstick? Umm…no.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Urban decay zero eyeliner and covergirl mascara. And chapstick. Didn’t have much time this morning 🙂
6. Last movie you loved? Changeling, I love it! Angelina Jolie is amazing in that movie! it’s so sad but really good.
7. Spiders? AHHHHHHHH. nuff said.
8. What’s the weather like out your way? Sunny, but freezing. It was like 40 degrees this morning, and 50 in the afternoon. Sucky!!
9. Outfit: skinny jeans, an oversized navy t-shirt, uggs and a northface.
10. Weekly goals: Go to school, do homework and sleep. That is my life.
Hi Ashlee,
It’s so interesting how I get to meet women of so many different ages through this blog! What year are you in school?
Karen, I was super excited to order my Laura Mercier lipglosses after trying a sample I got from Nordstrom. I didn’t realize until tonight when I was applying the sample that it was their lip plumper gloss, not the lip glace gloss that I ordered! Aaaargh! I hope I can exchange it at the store if I end up hating it. I also got my favorite mascara Lancome Definicils and my Clinique foundation too.
.-= Toni’s last blog post… Downsizing My Stuff =-.
Hi Toni,
Lucky for you — the Lip Glace is pretty nice! I really like it. It’s pigmented and not sticky. I have Bellini and Rose. Love ’em both!
Did you save all the paperwork that came with your package? You should be able to exchange or return it at the store.
1. Mood: Thankful–my hometown team, the Phillies won game 5 tonight, and are continuing the World Series!!
2. Are you a good cook? Decent…as long as I don’t get distracted by the TV or the dog. I excel at desserts–much to my chagrin.
3. Are you a spender or a saver? Definately, a spender! I usually have a hard time with putting money away, unless I *can’t* get to it….
4. Black lipstick? A bit too “avant garde” for my taste…
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Eyes–Sonia Kashuk Eye Shadow duo in COCKTAIL HOUR + Givenchy Effet Extension Mascara….Lips–Clinique Butter Shine Lipstick in Pink Beach….Cheeks–Nars Orgasm blush
6. Last movie you loved? The last one I saw in theaters was the new Star Trek movie, but we just watched the The Day The Earth Stood Still on DVD…not too bad.
7. Spiders? WHERE?!?! I’m am INSANELY phobic of spiders. Ugh, I get the willies just THINKIN’ about them…..
8. What’s the weather like out your way? Cool and clear and 46 degrees….yep, it’s fall (or winter…..)
9. Outfit: Today I wore a teal sweater and black knit pants.
10. Weekly goals: Laundry, scrub my kitchen floor and sleep…..TONS of overtime at work (until early December) to get all of the holiday orders done in time!!!
Hi DonnaN,
What kind of work do you do?
Aw, poor Tabs. He’s just adjusting and trying to stress you out so you’ll weaken in your resolve. Zena went on a kibble strike when we first got her…for a month. We knew she’d go on a food strike but a whole entire month was not expected. We went psycho trying to get her to eat and one day out of the blue she was like, “Okay, I’m hungry for kibble.” I stood dumbstruck for ten minutes when I heard the distinct sound of jaws chewing up doggy kibble. The amount of stress we put ourselves through for her and there she was happily eating like the kibble strike never happened. I’m sure Tabs will give in once he realizes you’re serious. It may take a few months but it’s in his best kitty interest to be a spoiled INSIDE cat.
Hi Kate & Zena,
LOL, something tells me Tabs will not go on a hunger strike anytime soon. His belly seems to hang lower and lower these days!
Ooh, 33 minutes left!
1. Mood: Surprisingly good considering I have a midterm in about 10 hours… lol.
2. Are you a good cook? I would say I’m a pretty decent one? I can typically follow a good recipe and I’ve gotten to the stage where I can sort of embellish, cut or improvise as I see fit without totally ruining a dish.
3. Are you a spender or a saver? Hahaha, definitely a spender. I don’t overspend myself into debt… but I definitely need to learn how to save.
4. Black lipstick? Not really my cup of tea, but I have seen it look downright amazing on some other ladies.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Cocomotion & the dark brown from Shu Uemura’s Fleur de Source palette/LM Sugar Plum stickgloss/Paul & Joe Disney Face Color B
6. Last movie you loved? Oh man, it’s been awhile since I’ve really loved one. Probably Ponyo, and Hot Fuzz before it.
7. Spiders? ;______;
8. What’s the weather like out your way? Deceitful! Today they forcasted highs of 78 so I went out expecting skirt weather… then the clouds and fog rolled in and it was freezing!
9. Outfit: My “which way to tokyo” ninja t-shirt with a calf-length VS brown linen skirt, lilac socks and black Chucks, accessorized with a pretty taupe flower-shaped zipper headband, Hello Kitty watch & oh hello friend (etsy) and MotoJewelry.
10. Weekly goals: Survive! Finished 1 presentation and 1 group writing assignment today. Got two midterms, 1 individual lab report poster, 1 symposium presentation poster & another group writing assignment by the end of the week (which ends early for me as I’m flying out to said symposium Friday morning!). Pray for me… =)
Next week I’m going to take a page out of your book and try to start squeezing in the exercise & get to sleep before midnight as well though. The whole no sleep thing is wreaking havoc on my face. =/

3. Are you a spender or a saver? Hmm, I spend everything I have except for my savings, basicly.
4. Black lipstick? Not for me. I do not wear anything black (clothes included), only mascara and sometimes eyeliner. Black is a dirty colour to me, and I’m a dirtophobic!
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: The Notoriety Quad / lip conditioner (now), High Def l/s later / So Ceylon MSF & The Perfect Cheek
6. Last movie you loved? Oh, I can’t even remember what I’ve seen lately.

Hi Rita,
Have fun at your MAC appointment, and let me know if you get anything!
Hi, Karen! I just ordered it yesterday, so it should be here this week (I hope! 🙂 ). I will definitely keep the paperwork in case it doesn’t work out. I loved the sample lip plumper I got in Rose. You’re right, it wasn’t sticky and it lasted for a long time! I ordered the Lip Glace in Rose and Champagne.
.-= Toni’s last blog post… Downsizing My Stuff =-.
Hi Toni,
I fell in love with Laura’s Lip Glace’s a long time ago. I hope you love Rose as much as I do!
What else did you haul?
Hi Karen! I got my shirt in St. Augustine, but I think they are all over the place. It is literally the softest T-shirt I’ve ever owned.
