Bleary-eyed and sleepy because the alarm just went off. It’s 4:30 in the morning, but we’ve got an early flight to catch. Soon we’ll be somewhere over the Pacific, dreaming about tabby cats and MAC. Tabs is staying in California; he has a modeling gig lined up with Macy’s later this week.
I do almost everything with my right hand (writing, applying makeup, blowing kisses), 🙂 but I like to drive with my left hand on top of the steering wheel.
My parents’ house in the East Bay, even though I haven’t lived there in years.
Apart from the usual (health, family, cat), I’m grateful for ponytail holders, washer/dryers and three-ply toilet paper.
I’m in travel makeup mode right now, so just tinted moisturizer, cream blush, MAC Blot, concealer mascara and gloss.
No, but I really wish I had. I would’ve loved to have gone to at least a year of school in Europe.
Makeup, teapots (a relatively new interest), random old books and earrings.
“Send me your Xmas list, dagnabbit!” (to my little brother).
Dark jeans, sweatshirt and brown tennies (pre-dawn travel style)…
Eat as many malasadas (Portuguese fried donuts; popular local snack in Hawaii) as humanly possible, find a little time to surf and just enjoy Christmas with the family.
Rise and shine, ladies. 🙂 Christmas is right around the corner, and I hope you’re in the holiday spirit. If you’re reading this between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern time, I’m somewhere above the clouds, wishing you all a great week and a beautiful day.
Take a minute to tell me and Tabs how you’re doing. You see, Tabs is holding down the MBB office while I’m airborne. You know what to do…
