So I’m all by my lonesome tonight. The boyfriend had to go to his work dinner party that they have to attend once a month. I think it’s rather stupid that I can’t go, but it’s no spouses I guess so WHATEV. At least something good comes out of the dinner - he gets his bonus, and with that he’s paying all of the rent. I usually pay half the rent but he told me he’d pay it all so I could save up spending money for when I visit home. It’s not really working out because I haven’t gone to work in two weeks. That’s the problem with being able to work whenever you want, you don’t go. Well… at least I don’t. I hate my job though, and I’m trying to avoid a certain person. Whoever said don’t get involved with a person you work with is sooo right. If I see that person when I go back to work, and they come up to me and say “oh, I was just joking around” I think I may karate their face. And, I’m aware no one knows who or what I’m talking about so I’ll just stop this little rant.

So, the boyfriend is also paying for my ticket to go up north. I’m so excited, I haven’t seen my ma, sister, or my little nieces in over a year. I miss them so much. Really, I miss living in Michigan, I feel like it’s still my home. And Florida… well, it’s like I’m on a permanent vacation that I’m having no fun on. I think I’m an idiot though; because I’ve decided to ride a bus up there! Haha, I’m gonna be on the thing for a day and a half! I know it’s stupid that I’m not flying when I could be there in two hours, but I’ve never been on a plane before and I don’t think I could handle the first time by myself. I even read this and still don’t feel good about a plane… so, a bus it is! Maybe some sweet-awesome 80 year old will sit next to me and tell me their life story.

It started storming earlier, and because James wasn’t home and I hate being by myself in storms I took a drive up to Target and Marshalls to do some browsing. I got a few things at Target but the only thing worth mentioning is the Orchid. I think they’re such beautiful flowers and I’ve been wanting one for awhile. I guess I had been putting off buying one because I’ve heard a lot of people say that their hard to keep alive. So what? I suck at keeping any flower alive. I’m sure it can’t be that hard, plus there’s a lot of websites with care tips.

At Marshalls I bought four books and I only paid $14. I’ve never thought of looking for books there, but it turns out they have a good collection (if you like “how to” books) and at decent prices. I got: Campbell’s 1-2-3 Dinner, Easy as apple pie, The Lovely Bones, and The Great Husband Hunt. The novels will come to good use on the bus, as long as I don’t get car sick… I couldn’t believe the pie book was only $2 dollars, and with this cooking kick I’m on I could have crapped my pants. They had a lot of good books; some about interior design, bartending, lots of cook books, memoirs, and a lot of other stuff. I probably found the only novels they had, well…except for a Harry Potter book but I’m not a fan.

OK…I’ll stop boring you now. If anyone read all of this I give you props for dealing with my randomness.

This is what I like to watch on the telly at 2am…

I’m extremely bored; the internets get boring after awhile, I look too scrubby to take photos, and my cable keeps freezing. So… I’m going to do the beauty survey that both Tashina and J posted on their websites recently. Here it goes…

My Foundation:
Before applying foundation I use a moisturizer to even out my skin. My choice moisturizer is
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. It’s perfect for combination skin types which I am, and it goes on smooth and doesn’t feel greasy. At around $20 dollars a pop some people may think it’s a splurge but it’s well worth it, I’ve had mine for over a year and it’s not even half empty, and I use it almost every day! For foundation I’ve been using Physicians Formula Mineral Wear, and I’m quite happy with it. It provides full coverage and last all day, but I don’t want to say too much about it because I plan on writing a post on it soon… I also use Cover Girl concealer under my eyes.

My Mascara:
Like a lot of other cosmetics, I have yet to find my “perfect” mascara. For now I’ve been using Get Bent Mascara by Benefit. It works pretty well with making my lashes longer but sometimes it tends to clump up. I think L’Oreal makes great mascaras…

My Blush:
I’ve been using Neutrogena healthy skin blends sheer highlighting blush and I love it, it blends together so well! But, before I apply the blush I use Bonne Bell Powder Bronze to give my cheeks a warm glow. I apply both with a Donna Loren bronzing brush I found in a set at TJ. Maxx.

My Eye Shadow:
How can someone use just one brand of eyeshadow? There’s so many different shades! I mostly use Hard Candy’s Kaleidoscope Eye Palette, I love the brown shades it has. My new love is MAC Pigment it stays in place so well, and last all night. I work at a club so my eye shadow needs to stay fresh and flawless. I really wanna try Too Faced Galaxy Glam Eye Shadow!
