quick, quick!

I think i'll just jot down small random things that came up last week (1/5-1/11). Maybe easier than trying to think of an entire story or something. I'm all about quick and easy!

*Facebook addiction: omg. how did i let this happen?? i swear, i must go on there like 100 times a day. i'm totally addicted....which leads to...

*Flashbacks to high school: between FB and my new "do" (see below), all those awkward, inadequate feelings from high school have been flooding over me lately. in fact, the other night i had a dream where i was in a very narrow stairwell in my high school and i was literally being trampled by people from my school. Um. I'm no Freud, but I think there's something there.

*My new do: i was expecting a trim and ended up with something both wonderful and horrific. When it's straight I feel terribly chic and suri-cruise-like. When it's curly, i feel like i need to break out my doc martins, flannel shirt and Wine With Everything lipstick. it's like my head went right back to 1992... with the addition of crow's feet, bright and shiny grey hairs and forehead wrinkles.

*I'm bummed that one of my favorite co-workers, myra, has gone on to greener (and I DO MEAN GREEEEEN...as in MOOLAH!!) pastures. She is so funny and smart and wise and fun. I miss her already.

*I GOT AN IPHONE!!! I've been wanting one for a few months and used some xmas cash to get it. I still think it's just a dang phone, but people keep telling me it will change my life. I guess it has, seeing how all i use it for is to check FB and twitter.

*I bought 9 bottles of wine at costco the other day. Each bottle was under $10, but when you're at the martinez-owen household it's all about quantity, not quality. I love seeing my list of items at the checkout: 9 bottles of wine, toilet paper, and a giant bag of Kettle Chips. Homegirl must be stocking up for something VILE!

*Went to see The Reader. I wanna a booty like Kate Winslet's.

*Went to the Bath and Body Works sale 3 times in 4 days. Each time I went to pick up something specific and ended up with something totally different. I just gave up at the end. Anyone need body creme? Ooo! I got one that I think Steph will like! Heads up, I'll send it your way, girl!

* After Sara mentioned it, I got the Japanese eyelash Fiber mascara stuff from Sephora. Save your $. Sara, I was gonna try it out before giving it to you for your bday. It SUCKS. Pros: doesn't smudge and only comes off with water. CONS: doesn't lengthen or fatten your lashes, feels weird when it comes off (like slimy grime), and costs $20+. Also sucky: Benefit Bad Gal Lash. Smudgy, makes my eyes water and messy to apply. So far, nothing's better than my Queen Latifah Cover Girl whatever.

*I started the application online for a graduate program for Multicultural Early Intervention. Hopefully this will put me in a position to be able to seek greener pastures in the future, too!!

*This was my ovulation week and we had the mom-in-law visiting. James didn't feel romantic with his mama 12 feet away in our tiny house, or he was tired, blah blah blah. Thank goodness we're BOTH apathetic about this baby-making thing! ;)

peace OUT!

1. Reader was very good. lots of naked, but awesome performances. you'd love it.
2. i think i want eyelash extensions or to master the art of fake lash application
3. iknow, i'm like iaddicted!
4. good for you. i can't get OFF FB. what a nerd.
5. i know...it's an expensive prospect, but i hope it will keep me employable for a while... the school is Nova Southeastern in FT. LAUDERDAL, FL!! weird, i know, but they have a nice program, it's all online, and i really love and respect this women who went there, so i feel like it can't be all bad. Plus, unlike a lot of online schools, it actually exists in real-life, not just in shopping centers, or whatever. (looking at YOU university of Phoenix)

Congrats on the grad school thing and GOOD luck! I know what you mean about high school stuff. I am undecided about facebook. Someitmes I like it, but really don't have time to do it justice. Plus, I hate my pictures on there, but don't have any better ones to put up. I love that I found Mindy though! Mascara: You have to try Cover Girl Lash Exact. They have another one too, similar brush, maroon tube. Its cheap too. Sorry about the baby stuff. I think you will make a great mom!!
