This post was supposed to post before I left at 6 pm and now it’s 11 pm and I just realized it didn’t post so here you go.

First of all I want to say that I’m really very sad that Sheri‘s giving up blogging. (probably redundant to link that site as it will be all gone by the weekend anyway but hey). I’ll miss her. She’s actually the reason I started blogging in the first place– I found her site, somehow (probably a weird google search– yeah, that’s me), and thought “Wow. Hey. Wow.” I kept reading and reading (and probably finding it by doing the same weird google search over and over) for a couple of months. Started to think “I wonder if I should try this? Probably would suck at it, but… should I?”. Then didn’t for about… five months. Then I did. The rest is history.
I’ll miss you, Sheri.

Secondly– sorry about suddenly going inblognito there. My parents’ computer went kerblooey and I didn’t have access to… well, anything. As an aside it’s fun to watch my mom call the computer an asshole.

I got home this afternoon though (after driving for like… I think six or five hours– two extra hours tacked on to my driving time because I kept stopping to take little naps), so now it’s ALL BLOG, ALL THE TIME!!! REJOICE!

So, what can I tell you? Let’s see…

Oh, I got my new glasses today. I’m not sure if I like them… I’m actually not sure they’re the ones I picked out in the store. That’s the problem with buying glasses. I CAN’T SEE. So when I try them on, I think “Okay… maybe these look good?” and then I order them. And then I’m stuck with them. They do make a big (huge) difference in my eyesight though. I find myself squinting, out of habit, and have to remind myself “Hey, I can see now. I don’t need to be squinting”. No pictures right now because Rob apparently reformatted the computer when I was gone and I’m not sure where all the programs are anymore.

When I was at my parents’ I didn’t really go out much– I went to the hospital one day to visit my nephew, and to the grocery store another day. And on another day my sister and I had to take my niece (my 9-YEAR-OLD niece!!!) to buy training bras. BRAS!!!! My sister practically cried in the dressing room. Anyway. I also managed– okay. I’m not one for makeup. I have to wear some makeup everyday; my eyebrows are nonexistent because THEY ALL FELL OUT so I draw them on, which I’m sure looks ridiculous but I need something there because otherwise I look like cro-magnon man. Other than that though I don’t like the other stuff. Mainly because I can’t match it to myself. I buy foundation… it doesn’t match my skin. I buy eyeshadow… I look like I’ve been injured. Lipstick? Forget it. You can’t try it on in the store (where the lighting is always weird anyway) and even if you could, ew, gems ew. And the back of your hand is nothing like your lips. So each time I’ve bought lipstick in my life it’s turned out to be too purple or too red or way too… yucky. I feel immense shame at my makeup choosing abilities (it’s the same way with clothes– I have no clue what colours look good on me or don’t so I basically buy a lot of black and grey).

BUT!

I was in Shoppers Drug Mart when my sister was picking up the Milk of Magnesium for my constipated nephew and came upon some cute little makeup packages. And if you know me, you’ll know I’m all about the cute little packages. I didn’t even look at the lipstick itself, or even the sampler thingie. I looked at the colour of the box. And I bought it. Because it was on sale for four dollars. It’s Sugar Baby Kiss ‘n’ Tell lipstick. The first colour on that page– peck on the cheek.

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE PERFECT COLOUR FOR ME! Yep. More of this slapdash shopping. Maybe for my next cosmetic purchase I’ll just spin around with my eyes closed and buy whatever the first thing is that I bump into.

Eh, enough about makeup. What else? (oh internet people I have missed writing long pointless posts! It’s been like… TWO WHOLE DAYS! ) Today is my friend’s birthday and I have a scarf here for her and I hope she likes it. I’m kind of iffy about going out because really? I feel guilty. I’m off work, but I’m leaving the house and having fun? That’s not good.

OH MY GOODNESS THEY ARE GOING TO BE HERE IN THREE MINUTES AND I DON’T HAVE MY EYEBROWS ON!

Okay gotta go. Posty post post.
