I'm taking my tweezers with me to our remodeled TJ Maxx because the lighting in their dressing rooms is FANTASTIC for tweezing eye brows!  

LOL!

Laying in a hospital bed for three days gave me ample plucking time. It was needed.

I just showered and shaved everything finally. I felt like a damn wildebeest. I am one hairy mofo.

Lol! That is actually a fantastic idea.

I recently moved my vanity right into a window alcove, and I'm regretting it. I sometimes would rather be happily oblivious to my pores and chin hairs.

I always think this when I check something in the visor mirror. So much natural light + close up mirror = tragic. WHERE DID THESE PORES COME FROM?

I don't understand people who love shopping on vacation. I went up to SF this weekend and the people I went with spent 3 hours in Macy's. We have a Macy's here! I was so bored and perplexed.

I'm really happy for Caitlyn that she's living her authentic life now, but I don't think she's gorgeous or anything. She looks like Bruce, but with a wig on. Her body is banging though!

[lissaholly]

I am thinking of dressing my girls all steampunk and taking some pics by some old train tracks. I think this makes me twee and I will be 37 in less than a week. I am also not a blogger. I just like that kind of stuff. I know I should be ashamed, but I am mostly proud of my mad creativity, lol.

When I was drunk on Friday night, I accepted the uber surge fees and paid $170 for my ride home :/

[sallywalker]

I am staying the night in an 11 bedroom mansion. Only two other rooms are occupied and I'm sleeping with my mom. Lol

How far did you actually go?! If it was like a $50 original rate, this isn't TOO shocking with surges, but if it was a $10 ride, I'm   right now.

I fully expected a $50-75 fare. I should've just taken a cab. Anyway, lesson learned. And this is why when h and I have plans in the city we just Priceline a hotel room. Not much more than a ride home (actually a hotel room would have been for sure cheaper than uber at bar close).

I just read an email from Natalie's teacher saying her first grade teacher for next year isn't going to work out. They are putting her with a new teacher from Las Vegas.
I am f****** furious right now. The first teacher would have been perfect. She has worked with kids like Natalie before and I know nothing about the new teacher. And now I'm crying like a moron.

  Did they give you any more information about why it wouldn't work?

[rupertpenny]

nahoku I feel like that is something that would happen to me.

I haven't trusted myself to download uber because I'm afraid if I could ride in a taxi without having to hand over actual cash I would use it all the time.

Did you have fun at least?

What are uber surge fees?

Uber chargers more during what they determine to be peak hours. It's kind of shitty, IMO. 

People the day after Halloween woke up to 400 dollar Uber rides.

Yeah. It's not hard to find articles about it, either. There are a ton.

Holy hell, how far did you have to go? I may be mistaking you for someone else, but are you in MN - if so, I can't imagine where you had to go to rack up $175 unless there are some extra charges/fees.

That first shower is always amazing, makes you feel like a million bucks 

This was actually the second shower, but it was a lot better because I have a little better rang of motion and I had my own toiletries and I was able to shave. I almost passed out from getting overheated/worn out from the effort, but I did it! So worth it. And the drain comes out Wednesday. Yayyy

Uber surge fees will easily cost $175.

Seriously?! That's crazy.

ETA: why is it so much? $175 is more than twice what I would pay to take a taxi from downtown MN to a city about 18 miles north.

We'll, they've figured out how to charge a shit ton of money for a "cool" taxi service so good for them ... ? I'm just glad I learned about their insane fees today since my mom and I were going to try and use uber later this week after we went shopping and drinking - or maybe it should be drinking and then shopping.

Are you talking about the Macy's in Union Square? I love that one. It's a really good one. Not all Macy's are created equal.

Out-of-towners get 10% off, even on sale items. Just go to the sixth floor to get the special card.

Then my goal for 40 is to look like Bruce Jenner with a wig at 65.

Sorry, but, if I look like that in two years, I will kill myself.

When I was at the Denver GTG I used Uber to get to Denver airport. It was a Sunday Morning and the couple times I did the fare quote I got the surge warning. My cheap ass closed the app and got back in a few times, the surge then disappeared. I do realize this would not have helped the poster leaving a bar( I had to book the Black car coming home from a bar at 2am on fight night) however if you get a surge at an off time , try what i did.

Yup. I always wait a minute or two and the surge usually goes away. They only surge price to entice drivers to get out on the road.

Oh, I'm talking about San Francisco.

I don't know if the Macy's in NYC has the same deal.

They do - I went and checked first.  Never even thought of it before.

Yay! That's great!
