Okay, so today wasn’t a very interesting day. In fact, today was a lot like yesterday, where the beginning and end were the interesting parts. Due to the fact that it is 11:43pm right now, I am not going to go into too much detail about today and am going to try to keep tonight’s blog brief. I woke up late this morning, at 6:30am, which left me with only about an hour to eat breakfast, make myself lunch, get myself dressed and ready for the day and try to squeeze in a couple of cigarettes in that time. Basically, I was in a rush as soon as I woke up. I feel like I handled it pretty well, though. I got myself up out of bed right away and started the coffee pot and made myself breakfast before anything else. While the coffee was brewing and my oatmeal was heating, I went into the bathroom and did my morning skin care routine and brushed my teeth. Then, before drinking my coffee or eating my oatmeal, I prepared my lunch and put it into the fridge so it would be ready for when I was preparing to leave the house. Then, I sat down at the computer and ate my breakfast and drank my coffee while checking my morning routine stuff, (Facebook, Twitter, horoscope, Oh No They Didn’t, etc.) Then, right around 7:10am, I headed into the bathroom to get dressed and do my hair and makeup for the day. I basically did the exact same makeup look I did yesterday, my “Valley Of The Dolls” look, but with different colors. Yesterday I used Brule and Espresso from MAC, (nude and brown,) and today I used this really cute Pink & Chocolate duo I got from Clinique. I also discovered yesterday how wonderfully Brule works as a highlight, so I used it for that today. The thing with Brule is that it is a flesh tone/nude color but it is a few shades lighter than my skin, so it really gives the illusion of light hitting my natural skin when I use it in my highlight spots. It is gorgeous. I am in love with that color. I also really love my Espresso from MAC and use it quite frequently, most often to darken/emphasize my eyebrows. Those two were both great choices to begin my MAC collection. The third color I have from MAC, Passionate, is not quite the same. It isn’t a terrible shadow or anything but I always feel like I have to use a LOT of it in order to get it to show up at all. That one is a little frustrating but I really couldn’t be happier with the other two – like I said, I use them both almost every day.
I got done in the bathroom around 7:40am and was really rushing around to get my lunch packed up, my spill-proof cup filled and my second cup of coffee drank. I managed to be done with all of that by 7:50am, so I sat down and smoked a cigarette while I waited to hear from my sister. I was sitting there for 10 minutes before she called to say she’d be here any minute. She and her girlfriend were both scheduled to work at 8am, so I was beginning to wonder in those 10 minutes if they had forgotten me. Then, I began to think about what that would mean. Could I call in sick? I couldn’t afford to call in sick unless I was able to use some vacation time for the day or something like that. Still, the idea of not going to work today was incredibly enticing. No matter how cute I felt like I looked this morning, which was a LOT, I could have just as easily removed all the makeup and gone back to bed. I was honestly a little disappointed when I did hear from her. Still, it was for the best. After all, I do believe I am almost to perfect attendance for this month. I have been making a conscious effort not to acknowledge that up to this point because I figured if I focused too much on it I would wind up screwing it up somehow. At this point, though, there is only one week and a few days left of this month and I am feeling pretty confident that I will be able to manage it this time. That would be nice. We’ll see but I am pretty confident that I am going to manage to make it this month.
Work was boring. I wrote two new songs today, both of which I was pretty happy with. I mainly just spent the day dicking around with my co-workers and the people on the other account that sit by us. It was pretty boring. I talked to my Mom a little, via text message, and she seems to be in pretty good spirits. I am very glad for that. I really can’t wait for her to get back, though. It’s selfish of me, I know, and I haven’t said that to her or anything. It is just so easy to get bored and frustrated being here all by myself. Tonight wasn’t so bad, though, because I had a little help from my friends… well, one friend. Rachel came over to hang out tonight. I prepared a dinner of baked chicken, brussel sprouts and angel hair pasta. It was really tasty. We spent a little while just catching up and discussing random goings on of our lives, until around 9pm when we decided to make an impromptu trip to Target. Rachel had seen this pair of shoes there that she really wanted but didn’t have the cash for but she did have the cash tonight so we decided to go get them. I also wanted to check out mineral foundations, as I have been discussing here recently, so after we found her shoes we decided to head over to the cosmetics section. I don’t know why exactly but I led us through some strange random aisles that I thought would get us to the cosmetics section. It did lead us to cosmetics eventually but, like some sort of silly kismet, it first led us through the furniture area. It was there that I spotted the office chairs. There was one, a very small, cheap looking one, for only $19.99. I have needed an office chair for quite some time now, as I have been using a chair from the living room for a very long time now. So, I snatched that up. It was more money than I had intended to spend but I felt like it was worth it to finally return the armchair I was using to its rightful spot in the living room. Once we made it to the cosmetics section I decided against mineral powder foundation because Rachel was explaining to me that there is a special trick to using them that sounded more complicated than I wanted to deal with. Instead, I spent half as much on a tinted sunscreen, which is another recommendation I have heard for a good foundation to use in a humid climate like Florida has. I tried a little bit of it once we got home and I really liked the way it went on. It’s a much lighter coverage than the Dream Matte Mousse foundation I have been using, which I think is actually a good thing. It seemed to go on more natural looking than the Dream Matte Mousse does, which is a nice change. I am going to give this a try on my entire face and out in the elements tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, it is Friday. I still have to go to work, which sucks, but I am excited to get it over with and be on to the weekend and another day closer to my Mom getting home. In hopes of avoiding the same problem that I had this morning, though, I should probably get to bed. Rachel and I spent a little longer than expected at Target and didn’t get home until after 10pm, then we spent quite a while building the chair, (or, more accurately, me watching her build the chair,) so, it took a while for me to get started on this blog. Fortunately, I should be able to save myself a little time tomorrow morning because I already have breakfast prepared. I am just going to eat the leftovers from tonight’s dinner in the morning. It’s not too much and it’s not too little, so it should work out perfectly. The best part, though, is that it is more than I usually eat in the morning and should be good to hold me over until my lunch break than what I usually eat. In spite of that very minor amount of time saved, I am still really keeping my fingers crossed that I just wake up on time tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes. For now, though, I bid you all goodnight.
