Funny ol' me

Well, this is turning into a "weekly" update. Been busy at work (as usual) but I actually am very proud of myself right this second. I have a paper due on Sat. and I got the bulk of it done several days ago and printed the final version out last night. This having to travel is forcing me not to procrastinate which is a new thing for me. Hopefully, I continue to be a good girl and get a gold star. It was a really weird paper to write and I have no idea if I did it the way she wanted. But I have the same teacher for the next year, so once I know what she's going for, I'm golden. Next up is finishing up the take-home exam and getting the presentation ready.

So, did something last weekend, but since the person that can't know about it, reads this blog, I can't say anything. Ha! That'll make ya'll wonder. I was trying to find my pin number for my new debit card from my Stafford loan refund and instead found a bunch of old pictures. I'm attaching one here for laughs. This was last year at Halloween. I went to a friend's mother-in-law's bar where they have a big to-do and costume contest. I didn't know about it until just a couple of days before Halloween so had to just randomly pick something out of the leftovers at Wal-Mart for a costume. You can tell too. It's kinda out of character for me to look slightly slutty, but it was all they had that actually covered all my naughty bits.

I've ordered and am trying out a new makeup (please don't tell my Mary Kay lady, haha). It's Bare Escentuals mineral makeup and it's supposed to actually be good for your skin since it has zinc oxide in it (same thing in a lot of acne medications) and is made entirely of minerals (no chemicals and nasty stuff that's usually found in cream makeup) but we'll see. I've discovered the wonderful world of eBay through this and have been getting helluva good deals on the prices. I'll let you all know what I think of the makeup. What I'm hoping for is not to break out. So, there's my goal. It's good to be shallow. If anyone wants to try it out, tons and tons of people on eBay sell samples (usually 1/8-1/4 tea) for really pretty cheap, and the nature of this stuff is that small amount will last about 20 days, so plenty of time to figure out if you like it or not. Look at me! I'm selling a product I haven't even tried yet. Ack. It should be here sometime today.

Also, throwing around the idea of trying microdermabrasion to lessen the scars on my face. My own personal makeup guru has said that it's wonderful for that, but recommends doing several treatments to get the full effect. Unfortunately, it's $160 a pop, so have to try to balance that out with the idea of doing it. Basically, it's apparently like sand-blasting your skin and that sounds like just the ticket. She even offered to do it for me for free if I can just get to Chicago! Which I would love to see her and maybe just need to plan a trip on a holiday weekend and just get the hell out there.

My cousin set up a meeting with the Hy-vee caterer today at 2 pm so I can get more information from them about how much and what exactly they do for the party. But it's looking as though we're going to serve a pretty full meal at the party with fried chicken and baked ham. Hopefully, since it's so late, we'll still have people to feed. I've asked pretty much everyone on the planet if they were going to something that started at 7 pm whether they would be expecting a meal and Tracy said it the best. That if it were she, she would eat something light so if they did, she'd still have room for food, but if they didn't, she'd not be starving. I'll let everyone I can know if we decide to have a meal, so the word can be spread around. I would've included it in the invitations, but at the point we still hadn't made a decision and this catering idea is a fairly new one as we thought it'd be way too expensive, but Hy-vee is actually about half the price of everything else we've seen.

Well, anyway, I think I'd better get in the shower and get to steppin' so I'm not late for my appointment. I have to mail some stuff off to my parents anyway, so will get that done too. And something off to my Uncle Johnny so he can stop being mad at me. Haha. Love you all! Type to ya in another week!

Love,
Belinda
