Sheer Cover Makeup
Comments (18)I saw Bare Minerals at Target this week. It was a "Starter" kit, though, not the individual types of makeup. When I first saw Bare Minerals/Bare Esscentuals on TV, I just did not believe that a dry powder could give that kind of coverage, could stay on my skin until I took it off and could be so good for my skin, too. Sorry if I sound like a commercial, but I am really a satisfied customer and would never go back to the old liquid or cream foundations. Oh - and I have used Revlon and L'Oreal mineral stuff - they do not even come close to Bare Minerals/Bare Esscentuals. I'm middle aged and have always had problem skin, but now I actually get compliments on it....See MoreThe very first SENIOR moment...
Comments (34)Here it is! Liz emailed me with the link and I'll be happy to share the poem with everyone. I just love it! AAADD KNOW THE SYMPTOMS. PLEASE READ! Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better even though I have it!! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye -- they need water. I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed the bills aren't paid there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.... Do me a favor. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who the heck I've sent it to. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!...See MoreHair
Comments (11)I don't think any one here gets what I say. I would be happy if sd wanted to dye her hair pink or purple or whatever freakin' color under the sun....at least she would be doing something with it. My whole point was that she doesn't do anything. She barely washes it. I guess if that is style....okay. I was merely trying to make my point more clear with each post, but things have been taken out of context etc. I don't want her to "look like me" ...we look nothing alike. We could never look anything close to alike. We are like salt and pepper. That was never the point. But I did say that I like to do my own makup and hair everyday because someone suggested that she may not like my look etc....but I am fairly young for a step mom to a 16 year old. So it's not like I am "trying to be young" and I like that I still look good lol. Lets see if I can clarify the issues at hand....sd wanted to do the whole makeup and hair thing, as long as it was what her gang friends approved of. I don't know if you all have gangs where you live, but it isn't exactly the type of look one goes for. Told her no gang friends...so hair and makeup stopped. Dad is cool with that. We let her know she could still wear makeup within reason. Apparently it isn't worth getting up an extra 15 mintues for. Again fine with dad (with me to). The look she was going for, was not going to work out outside of the group of kids she was trying to hang out with. She has already proven that point by now not having any friends outside of those previous kids which we will not let her hang out with. We want her to express herself...we encourage her to express herself....just not with the gang kids. Make anymore sense now????? I wish it was just as simple as some of you want to make it seem lol. OH how we wish it were that simple. Try telling your kids they can't be friends with the gangsters in your area....if you even have them where you live or if they even go to school with your children. I mean my sd is a blonde haired blue eyed girl....she doesn't fit in with them. But because her cousin was friends with them she mistakenly took that route her freshman year and is paying for it still. We would love for her to find herself and start being who she is. She is more comfortable having others define her though. Trying to teach a victim to be strong is difficult. She likes to be a victim. Likes to have people feel sorry for her or "save" her....See MoreSenior Moments
Comments (19)Found in with some old papers earlier today: A Sign of Becoming Old Just a line to say I'm living, that I'm not among the dead, Though I'm getting more forgetful, and more mixed up in the head. For sometimes I can't remember When I stand at foot of stair, if I must go up for something, Or, I've just come down from there. And before the fridge, so often My poor mind is filled with doubt, have I just put food away, or have I come to take some out. And there's times when it is dark out, With my night cap on my head, I don't know if I'm retiring, Or just getting out of bed. So, if it's my turn to write you, There's no need in getting sore. I may think I have written, And don't want to be a bore. So remember - I do love you, and I wish that you were here, but now, it's nearly mail time, So I must say, "Goodbye, dear." There I stood beside the mailbox, With a face so very red, Instead of mailing you my letter, I had opened, it instead. I stand beside my desk, my head is bowed in shame. I'd re-address this letter, but I just forgot your name. Sue...See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
