How did it happen?

The Philadelphia Eagles are no longer the home team of Brian Dawkins.

Words..mere words cannot express how i feel about this, but i assure you that it's not good.

i just can't believe it.

i think the entire city of Philadelphia is in mourning and needs to be enrolled in a 12-step grieving program.

ugh

Nine more weeks

i have a rather um...monumental birthday coming up and one of my sisters has decided that i need to celebrate in style.

So she booked us on a cruise with six other women to the Bahamas.

i am so excited because: 1) it's my first cruise ever, 2) it's my first time to the Bahamas, 3) i love the sea and being on water, 4) i love celebrations (although this birthday is freaking me out - truly) and 5) another reason to SHOP!

It's all in the coughing

Somehow i've succumbed to the dread sickness of the common cold. It's a lovely little beast that starts with a sore throat, then headaches, then coughing and a few body aches. Not quite the flu, not quite bronchitics..but annoying all the same.

For four days all i did was sleep and cough and whine and take it easy. By last night, i was so sick of my own company, i almost phoned anonymous people just to make conversation. Would've been fun except that i can't say more than 15 words without coughing.

oh joy.

Re-Thinking my outfit

So today's skirt is rather um...form fitting to my body. i thought it was going to look really tacky, but suprisingly, it doesn't. (i've been described as having a 'black girl's butt' from people of colour...on more than one occasion...yeah, J-Lo...take notice!)

Here's to a bubble butt and tight skirt!

WHOOT...Happy Wednesday!

The right shade

i am a very white person. The Irish-German genes, passed to my from my beautiful parents, somehow made my skin very pale, pinkish undertones with freckles. Finding the right make up is a nightmare. If it's too light, i look like a ghost, but if it has any yellow in it, i look like i'm ill.

So i tried Bare Minerals and i do love the system...the only problem is that i picked up (accidentally) the wrong shade of foundation and now look like i have jaundice. i need fair...porclalin...really pale...pink undertones, no yellow in sight.

Jaundice looking aside...or maybe scurvy...[i do wonder how i'd look with scurvy] - i really like the system of layering a powder on your face instead a cream that takes a crow bar and three swarthy men to pry off your face at the end of the day.


{side note: if there were three swarthy men in my house at the end of the day, taking off my makeup would be the LAST thing on my mind! Just saying.}

Because sometimes you need it...

Today, i am going to buy a bunch of tulips for myself.

It will be a nice pick-me-up and bring some Spring Cheer to my house.

Can't wait!

Brace Yourself

Today, a very mildish pleasant day in SouthEastern Pennsylvania, has had winds upwards of 40 mph. Driving is a chore as one attempts to keep one's Honda from blowing off of the highway and into a dormant corn field. Walking is quite funny as one's things and clothing is almost blown off one's body, not to mention one's hair...which one (ok. ok me) wonders why one did one's hair in the first place.

The winds, however, aren't the bone chilling ones of last month. There is a hint of mildness to them and almost feel like the winds of March. Kite flying would be optional - but one would want to weigh more than 100 lbs or else the kite and wind would send one up, up and away.

i do believe Spring is on the way. To think that in about 44 more days, winter will be almost behind us? i think i can make it....
