Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • After searching for a decent blush forever then reading Rachel’s review of Benefit’s Dandelion I picked it up at Sephora on Sunday. It really is as fabulous as you think. It warms up my complexion- I’m extremely fair skinned. I also picked up some High Beam because you can never be too shimmery and sparkly.
  • Speaking of makeup, I cleaned out my makeup drawer and the cabinet under my bathroom sink last night. It’s now been confirmed that I buy way too many lotions, potions, and cosmetics. I had bottles of lotion, bath oil, etc. still in their original wrappers, still unopened. I filled up a box (a small one) of makeup to give to my sister. I seem to buy a lot of stuff that I think will look good on me but when I get home to use it it shows up a funky color on my skin.
  • I have really short legs and toes.
  • Now that summer re-runs are on I seem to get a lot more done after work.
  • At the post office last week I was in line behind 3 people. I thought my wait would be pretty short. Then I noticed the guy at the counter had 6 (!!) paper grocery bags full of small (perhaps 4x6x2 inch) boxes. Each one was being sent Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. Each one. Luckily the postal angel was smiling down on me and sent another rep that opened another window. That man was still there when I left. And he was only about halfway finished. I wonder what he was mailing and to who.
  • J and I sometimes bicker like 7 year olds. We once fought over the difference between a sun room and a screened in porch. It escalated to yelling. **Note- we aren’t angry when we bicker like children. We’re usually laughing hysterically by the end of it. Please don’t send me emails telling me where to get marraige counseling or anger management.
  • When we went to see Finding Nemo on Friday and the announcement came on about turning off your cell phone etc., they played audio of a baby crying, loudly. J sits upright and exclaims “Jesus Christ! Who would bring a baby here?! Oh great!”. I clued him in that it was a recording and that he was just annoyed about a child at a children’s movie at 12:30 in the afternoon when we were the only people there without children.
  • Why is it that a box of white tic tacs can last a full month in my purse but the orange ones can’t make it through a day? There must be some sort of addictive additive in there.
