Not much...just the sound of my own voice rambling

Watching Survivor yesterday was harrowing to say the least. I had no idea why I wanted to cry when I saw Russell's eyes stare blankly at nothing. I guess being a man must be tougher than I thought (but no where as tough as being a woman).

I only say this because Russell had to know his body was getting weak, either that or he did a Jedi mind trick on himself and convinced himself that he was as strong as an ox. But I think his decision had to do mostly with being a man and that whole alpha male thing, never let anyone see you're weak thing. Even his team mates wanted him to sit out, but oh no "I am lion hear me roar" and he just couldn't do it.

So he went from Lion to a cub with a blood pressure nearly non existent!

I did a layout last night. I had fun with it...and I remember the day that the picture was from like it was yesterday....I think that's when you know you've done a layout you're happy with, when it brings back fond memories and you don't have to think "Oh when was that?"

I drank red bull while I did my layout as I was tired going into it. WRONG move...I wasn't tired coming out of it!!! And I ended up watching 3 back to back episodes of Flash Forward on Video on Demand.

I love that show but it seriously scares me...and it's not like I was watching it alone, Big C and Baby C were snoring right in the bed next to me!! LOL

This morning I sat and played with Baby C's hand while she slept and I realized that I'm just as attached to her sleeping in our bed as she is. I thought it was her but I think I'm mistaken. How could I watch her sleep if she was in her own bed downstairs? :0)

I know the longer I wait the worse it's going to get, and let me tell you it's pretty bad now. One wrong move and both Big C and I would roll onto the floor with the amount of room she demands in the middle.

And what's wrong with kids when they sleep anyway, why can't they sleep top to bottom? Why do they HAVE to sleep diagonal? My mother says it's so they can subconsciously feel you in your sleep..but I'm not convinced.

I had the BEST gift awaiting me when I got home. My friend who I had lunch with 4 posts ago sent me a UPS box filled with make up goodies. It would be wrong of me to mention the name of the company that she works for, but lets just say it's the same name of that black singers crack smoking husband!!! There you go figure it out!!! LOL

First off I have to say that I DO NOT wear makeup, I should second that with I don't even know where half of the stuff is supposed to go! I mean lipstick is a no brainer...and so is eye shadow. But the rest of that stuff...pfffff...not a clue!

So the first step was Lord and Taylor, hence my therapeutic shopping post from 4 posts ago. We went to said "black singers crack smoking husband" cosmetic stand and got a make up thingy done so we could see what colors looked good on me so my friend would know what to pick up for me. I wish I'd taken a pic when I was done....she made me look really good. I think I looked a lot older than I usual do, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, but at least I kind of looked my age for once! And thank god for that piece of paper she gave me when she was done, showing me what goes where like "paint by numbers" for adults! LOL

I would post pics of the layout and the makeup but busting out my canon rebel at work to take a picture of makeup and a scrapbook layout would be a dead give away that I wasn't fully engaged in work!

  1. I heard about the show flash forward from a coworker and even though it seems like such a great show, I am scared to watch it.

    Mel it is very hard to get the kids out of the bed. Anthony just started sleeping in his bed the entire night by himself. He's 5!!! I know it's hard but think of all of the room you and Big C will have once she's in her bed.
