So X is asleep just in time for company. I just ordered him a Jacque the Peacock and a tummy time mat. He holds his head up a lot but doesn’t like being on the floor so I figured I’d get this thing now. Maybe he’ll feel better about the floor sooner than later.

I can’t wait to buy him his first computer. Of course it’ll be VTech or LeapFrog, but you get the point.

I also finally got around to ordering the Shisedo Tsubaki shampoo + Conditioner for myself.  I can’t wait to use it. The shower is my safe haven these days so I want nothing but good smells, smooth suds, and hot water. The next time I get something for myself, it’ll come from MAC or Sephora in the form of high quality make up.

In other news, I started writing a character profile + history for my Vampire: The Masquerade character. Now I don’t even care about playing as much as I care about writing an epic saga. Go figure.

Doris Lessing - “Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself.”

Just because it’s in style this season doesn’t mean YOU have to wear it.
We the chunky should not be rockin the ultra mini skirts. No. It just doesn’t work.
I feel I am too dark for blonde hair, but warm brown works. That doesn’t mean you can’t have it and be happy.

What made me think of this? I saw two teens on the bus recently that were OBVIOUSLY goin for the ganguro look but were full of fail. We’ve all been there. I could post 3 specific photos of me super failing because I used gal colours that didn’t compliment me. Why? Because I was using a magazine example that was done on a gal with a tan, but not so tanned that she was as dark as me.

I’m just sayin… get your own sexy and use the mags as a guide.

I have orange juice w/ calcium every morning with breakfast. I always have fruit of some sort– typically a banana or grapes. I lecture other people to have fruit with breakfast, too. But no. They don’t listen unless they have a penis. I’m serious. WTF is up with women only having a cup of coffee for breakfast? I’m serious. No wonder you’re skin and bones. Eat a sandwich! It’s just not healthy.

I’m all for fitting into the clothes you like, but at what cost? I don’t want to be skinny with high cholesterol or a weird metabolism or dried out skin. I want to be thin and healthy. Think Jessica Biel with way bigger boobs. Yeah. That works for me. I’m not a fan of the coffee diet. Oh well.

In other news, the outfit I’m wearing today made Annette forget I’m 8mos pregnant. That’s hilarious. I looked in the mirror and totally get it though. Diagonal stripes are amazing. Haaady  gyaru much? Yeah. And my hair + make up are GREAT as well.

Today is a pretty day.

I’ve decided I’m going to get my lashes done. It’s good for a gyaru type of bear. I think I’m full of needing that.
My last paycheck sucked so I can’t do it for a couple of weeks since I’d like to be responsible.
I was thinking, my upkeep isn’t so bad:

The numbers for other people are a LOT higher. I think when you notice most things only happen every 2 weeks (nails, lashes, brows) it’s even better. I go into spurts with having my nails done and this will be a first time for lashes (which I may not like the feel of).
My hair is best left to professionals when it comes to blow-drying, so I think the salon will be a weekly thing. I still can’t believe how it’s grown! For the first time in a long time I love my hair. It’s great. Thank you Aveda! (I still want to try that Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner, but it’ll have to wait.)

I want a Wii. I will has one. That’ my new year’s resolution. That’s what I said.

Anyway…
How is everyone? I’m doing fine, thank you. Impatience is looming though. I want the people a Kay to call Erik and say my effing ring is ready to be picked up. How long does it take to size a damned ring?!! Those bastards. And it better come in a pretty box so I can give it to my hypothetical son to give to his potential fiance when I’m old and decroded.

In other news, I’ve recently discovered that I REALLY need new pants. Seriously. It’s actually kinda sad. I think that’s what I’ll do for my next pay day. I can go to Torrid or Deb or something. I think it’ll be wise. Mama needs pants! And sensible shoes.

I’ve been pretty much repulsed with myself lately. It kinda sucks. So please forgive me if most of my blogging is about dieting, weight-loss, exercise and “superficial” things like shopping.  I think shooting fashion and stuff will make me feel worse if I don’t lose weight (and soon).

Speaking of which, my new lights should get here asap. Adorama never takes long. Hurrrrrry!!!
