Also, bowies, I'm sorry to hear about flapjack's trouble. I hope you're able to get some answers from the vet. It sounds like a crappy situation for all of you.
Bully, good luck mattress shopping! Bargain them down! Be ruthless!
I'm off today, and hanging at a local coffee shop right now. Talked about music with one of my favorite baristas and the music on right now is White Stripes. I love this place!
In a little bit, I'm going to pick up my friend for brunch and will then probably wander around taking photos because the area we're going is gorgeous. It's so beautiful and peaceful there. I'd share a photo if I weren't on the app.
Oh, one of my cousins just posted today about how Obama signed a bill in private/secret making free speech illegal. I'm losing patience, especially because no matter what I say, his friends jump on me and he only tells them to back off because I'm his cousin, not because he's had a revelation of any kind.
I have an update to my cousin's status. It contained a link to a youtube video of a Fox news segment. The bill isn't new, and it was passed in the usual manner, going through the House and Senate. I posted a Snopes link and now my cousin's friend, who used the N-word twice in his comments prior, got up in arms and just called me a B.... and told me to stop being a C. All because I pointed out that my cousin, who said he'd delete racist comments, might want to delete his friend's comments where the n-word was used.
ETA: My cousin just deleted all his comments. There are interracial marriages in my family and my cousin hates racial slurs. He also sticks up for me, despite our differences in political opinion.
I like them. I have several pairs of Bloch flats that have that skinny bow as well. I love it because if the shoe starts to get stretched out I can use the elastic to tighten them so they'll stay on better. Also, I prefer the smaller bows to the bigger ones.

I need to start using my Hot Mama sample from last month! Pretty soon my whole face will be by Birchbox. I can use either Jouer tinted moisturizer, the hot mama blush/eye shadow, Eyeko liner, and Jouer birchbox pink lip gloss. Hmm...maybe it's time to put together an "emergency kit" with Birchbox samples.
Uh . . . Yeah, I think it's a good idea to stop seeing your mom.
Yeah, she seems to be a negative influence in your life.
Agreed. I think you'd be more than justified in cutting your mom out of your life entirely. She seems to be a toxic presence.
I don't know if you've seen a therapist to help you deal with what you went through when you lived at home, but even if you have, it might be beneficial to see someone now to help you process the relationship with your mother and to make decisions regarding boundaries in your relationship with her (even if that means no contact). If you haven't processed what happened when you were younger, I think it could be beneficial for you to talk about that, too. It won't give you resolution with her, but it can bring you some inner resolution.
Scotty is doing well. Last week I pushed back the "final" appointment a week, to today. Yesterday I called and canceled the appointment. This photo (if it posts, I'm using the app) is from around noon today. He's improved recently, though we have no idea how much time he has, so we're enjoying our time with him while we can.
I'm happy with the box I got, except for the Juicy perfume. I hate their fragrances. I think I've used the Eyeko liner every day since I received it.
So what did everyone get? Are you happy with your box this month?

So, I meant to do this regularly and forgot. Post your friend's ridiculous, stupid, AW-y, etc. status updates.
This is from someone I went to grad school with. I only keep her around for the entertainment value.
"So grateful that when the back to my new diamond earring fell off, I caught it before it had a chance to fall out of my ear completely thus my losing it entirely. They cost a pretty penny. Looks like they'll be going back and I'll be exchanging for a whole new pair. Phew. Such a close call!!!"
I love red lipstick! I don't wear it at work because it wouldn't be appropriate given the population I work with. There are lots of awesome reds out there. Some of my favorites are from Chanel, Besame cosmetics (esp. Red Velvet), Make Up For Ever, and Clinique (Angel Red). I'm sure I have more reds than that, though.
I'm excited for the three-day weekend! So far my only weekend plans are to clean up and organize some, watch football, and go to brunch on Monday with one of my friends.
I haven't checked out the mobile site yet, but so far I like that the forum loads on the app. Previously I would have to delete and reenter the forum information every time I tried to connect with the app. I'll have to check out the site later today to see all the other things you guys are talking about.
I agree with seeing your doctor. If the pain were at the bottom of that area I'd say muscle tension (I get it all the time), but that could be done type of pinched/compressed nerve.
Is the pain sort of in the webbing between your thumb and index finger, but at the base of that webbing? Like just above where the bones of thumb and index finger meet?
I use the Anastasia brow gel (when I remember) and press it onto my skin a little bit as I go. You can use the end for the smaller area. I like Anastasia because there's a good range of shades.
