This & That

June 19, 2008

I am in a GREAT mood today.  A couple reasons.
1.  I made it to the gym last night!! It was hard, and I only did 2 sets, but I did it.  And I was able to use the same amount of weight I was using before I got sick.  Which is awesome.  Most of all, it felt SO GOOD.  I am not sure I will tackle running for a couple days yet, but it’s a start, fa sure.
2.  Today I closed a job that has been giving me headaches & ulcers all week. I can’t get into specifics, but I really was convinced this guy was not going to accept.  And yet he accepted on the spot.  So somebody did something right. :)

I’m looking over the notes I wrote up for what I want to blog about (yes, I jot down little notes as things come to me sometimes, and then write it all up when I get a moment to do so) and one of my notes says, “Shingles Face.” Ha!  Okay, seriously, that’s not my new nickname.  I wanted to post an addendum to my entry about my face peeling off, assumingly from a benzoyl peroxide reaction.  Well, no, it was the shingles starting.  Just so you know.  You can zap your zits without fear again.

As a follow up to yesterday’s post, and on the subject of my face, I did a little online research and placed an order with Sephora today (I needed some other things from there anyway).  Sephora is not reasonable distance from my house & I don’t have a car, so this was just easier all around.  Plus, free shipping!  Anyway, for you my gentle readers (and for you only–ha, right!), I am trying Stila’s Cherry Crush Lip & Cheek stain & Smashbox’s Photo Finish Lipstick.  Both are farily expensive but if they have the staying power they promise, I won’t use as much of it anyway.  I will report back with full details.  Maybe even a photo or two if you are lucky! (no, I still have not installed the software for my new camera on my computer, but I haven’t yet tried the camera function on my Blackberry!)
I wonder if I could get free stuff if I turned this into a beauty blog. (I’ve thought about it before, but there is already a pretty full market of beauty blogs out there)

Did anyone watch the Daily Show last night?  Jon Stewart made Steve Carrell shoot water out his nose.  They didn’t talk about much, but that moment alone made it the BEST. EPISODE. EVER.

Hey, don’t I seem like I’m feeling a lot better? (shhhhhhhh, don’t jinx it!)
