My Favorite Things Friday

One of my friends introduced this stuff to me and I'm addicted to it! It's Smashbox O-gloss, and it's a freakishly cool intuitive lip gloss. It goes on clear and then reacts with your personal skin chemistry to transform into your own custom shade of pink. We were passing it around at work one day, and everyone had a different shade of pink on their lips that matched perfectly to their skin tone! It even kind of temporarily stains your lips, but doesn't make them dry and sticky. It ROCKS! I think I'll even have a giveaway for one once I reach 100 followers. Which means it's time for you lurkers to come out of hiding and click my follow button over there.

Hmmm...now that I've basically made a promise, can anyone give me advice on how to do one of those giveaways that everyone is doing? I'm clueless!


On to other news...well, there's not much going on. I haven't really had anything to write about lately! This Saturday is the ever so anticipated Cooper River Bridge 10k! However, since my dreams were shattered (insert drama here) I stopped training for it. I'm still a bit pissed off about what happened, but hey, what can you do? I made a decision a long time ago that I would never put work before my life and family, but this time I have too much respect for my coworkers to leave them high and dry. In case you have no clue what I'm talking about, you can read about that hormonal rant here. We're still going, but I'll get there late tomorrow night and will walk the race instead of run. I will, however, put in a time off request in the very near future for next year's race. And I will be taking some "my kids are sick" days from here on out. Now I'm getting fired up about it again.

This Saturday also marks the 20 week mark of the virtual pregnancy that has been spinning around in my head and won't. go. away. I'm sure some people say that I need to get over it, but this is how I'm dealing and that's okay with me. I don't even think that Andy understands. I've also been having thoughts about if it was a boy or a girl, and what I would be feeling in my tummy right now. I bet it's the coolest feeling in the world. Bummer.

On to a "this would only happen to me" situation ...my mom and I decided to go get a professional airbrushed spray tan last night so that our pasty white legs would have some color when we don shorts for the race Saturday morning. To our surprise, there was a MAN standing there waiting to spray us down when we got to our appointment. What salon hires a MAN to spray tan clientele that consist of 99% women? Thankfully, he wasn't the least bit interested in our kind (with all due respect), so that eased the tension a little. My mom was about to turn around and walk out of there, but you know me! I don't have any shame! I convinced her to stay and we stood in the booth together with only a bra and panties getting airbrushed and laughing hysterically the entire time. The best part was the air blower to dry us off...there's nothing like the cellulite on your ass flappin' in the wind in front of the world's bravest man. Poor thing probably thought we were laughing at him. Ah, the things we do for beauty. He will probably go running next time he sees us walk into that salon.

Needless to say, we are looking a bit Oompa Loompa today, but atleast we have some color after this long, dreary, and COLD winter! Don't judge!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Pray that we come back with all ligaments and knees intact!
