Cranky
MAC Fluidline in Sweet Sage
Philosophy’s Amazing Grace Perfumed Body Spritz
Essie Bermuda Shorts on my toes and Essie Hot Pants on my fingers
That third cup of coffee and (hopefully) a kind word from a friend
Brown Local Motion t-shirt with yellow hibiscus design, jeans, flip-flops
Wallowing on the couch, watching The Golden Girls on Lifetime (“Television for Women!”) and debating whether I *really* need to Tivo Coed Call Girl starring Tori Spelling
A mozzarella, prosciutto and basil sandwich
MAC Dollymix
Since I feel like crap, to stay home from work, lie on the couch, watch a lot of bad TV and get out of my rotten funk; to try to relax and keep everything in perspective

Karen says
Hi Megan,
Yowza! 2038! I’m so happy for you and excited for your new digs. I hope the painting goes well and that you’ll be settled in soon.
Isn’t your birthday sometime soon, or am I going nuts?
Karen says
Hi Crystal G.,
Have a good night, girl! Hope you get lots of good sleep. 🙂
Megan says
Yeah I’ll be 28 on Saturday. 🙂
Karen says
Megan! Happy early birthday. 🙂 Are you doing anything fun to celebrate?
Megan says
LOL yes and no. I’ll be spending lots of time painting… but not actually on my birthday. I thought about it, but the boyf already got tickets to a matinee of The Lion King which is at the Kennedy Center right now. So I suppose he is saving me from myself. 🙂 We’re going to that and then to dinner…and that’s probably all the excitement on my actual birthday. I am supposed to go out with the girls next weekend on the 23rd for a late celebration. Things have been so hectic lately that I might miss this one passing me by. 🙂 Normally I would be super excited…but I haven’t had time to lately. And yeah when I had to sign papers saying I’m on the hook until 2038 in my head I was like wow…and then like…oh…I’ll be turning 58 that year… 🙂 although I’m pretty sure that I won’t be in my 2BR 2BA condo for 30 years… the paperwork and the numbers are just a little daunting. 🙂
Marlo says
Hi makeup lovers and hi Karen!
I am a huge fan of this blog and it is my first time posting, but I thought you guys would feel my pain. Someone broke into the trunk of my car yesterday and stole my purse..what was in my purse?
Nothing else but lots and lots of MAC makeup! I am devastated, it had two lip glasses (Rock out and grenadine), a regular mac lipstick, about three shadows including Amber Lights and a couple of limited edition pink shadows, my Novel Twist eyeshadow pallete, a Hard Candy eyeshadow pallete, cream eyeliner, two blushes including my favorite Peachykeen, and all of my Sonya Kashuk brushes!
I had all of these items in my purse because i didn’t have time to get ready in the morning and was going to get ready when I got to my destination..ahh, such bad idea!
My ipod and digital camera were also in my purse, but what hurts the most is my that a big chunk of my makeup collection is gone :(. I spent so much time, money and trips to the store to put it together and it’s gone 🙁
Just thought i would share such devastating news with my fellow makeup lovers.
Thanks for listening!
Marlo says
Oh, it also had my mac studiofix foundation, my Lancome mascara and eyeshadow pallete, eyebrow makeup and ahhh. just writing this makes me sad!!!!! 🙁

Hi Megan,
I took El Hub to The Lion King for his birthday a few years ago. It’s a really great show. I hope you two have fun!
I believe that one’s birthday lasts at least a month after the actual day. So when things let up you can still celebrate. 🙂
I didn’t realize you were doing your own painting — good for you! For me it’s fun for about one wall, LOL.
Karen says
Hi Marlo,
Oh no! That’s really awful. Do you still have enough to cover your basics at home?
On the upside, you’ll get to build a new collection. It’ll come slowly, but you’ll get there, again.
If you decide to replace your Sonia brushes I highly recommend the ones with the black handles. They are a lil’ pricier than the white handled ones but they are very soft and perform great.
Karen says
Hi Brittany,
Ha! I watch that show, too. Holly is my favorite out of the three. She would be my pick for Hef (he’s so ancient).
Karen says
Hi Bella,
How fun! Have a safe trip and enjoy the sunshine. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Christine,
Congrats, girl! Graduation day was one of the *best* days of my life so far. What did you major in?
Oh, and regarding makeup, don’t forget the waterproof liner and mascara. 😉
Karen says
Hi Roxy,
Today was much better, thanks. Hope you did well on your final today! What was it on?
Karen says
Hi Bada,
Ha! I wanna get rich right now, too. Hello, lottery!
Karen says
Hi Ines,
When I’m traveling typically I have to wake up really early, so end up doing the bare minimum to make it onto the plane; fill in the brows, curl the lashes, add mascara, conceal the dark circles, swipe some blush and some gloss. I’ll usually have oil-absorbing sheets, too, to keep the shine away. If it’s a *super* long trip, I’ll take these things along with me in the carry on, along with some makeup wipes (just put a few in a ziploc bag) and moisturizer. When I get close to my destination, I clean off the old stuff with a wipe, put on some moisturizer (planes always dry my skin out) and reapply. 🙂

Hi Ping,
Nice! Have you worn your Dainty yet?
Karen says
Hi Glosslizard,
Kitty hugs are the best… especially when they are worm- and flea- free. Ewww!
Karen says
Hi Tania,
I hope the healing goes quick. Take care of yourself… don’t burn those brownies! That would be a travesty.
Karen says
Hi Tanya,
Your outfit sounds totally cute. Have fun next week visiting SF. It’s been cold lately, so bring layers. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Ana,
It’s been cold here, too. I wore layers yesterday… that’s just totally wrong for August!
Karen says
Hi Michelle,
You’re so lucky that you can wear Moon Sparkle. I like it but it’s a bit too fruity on me.
Karen says
Hi Marisol,
Have fun in the city on Friday. I went to a French restaurant in Potrero Hill last Friday called Chez Papa. I am still dreaming about the onion tart I had…
Megan says
Yeah I’m sure we will have fun. I’m pretty proud of the fact that he planned it all by himself as a surprise. 🙂
I’m not doing all the painting by myself – my mom and friends and the boyf are helping. I decided to paint myself because I want to buy a new dining room table and new living room furniture…so saving money with DIY makes a difference in the furniture fund.
Karen says
Hi Megan,
I hear ya. Furniture can burn a hole in the wallet. I always have such a hard time deciding on things! What kind of look are you going for?
