Somewhat disheveled (is that a mood?). This morning I awoke to the sound of Tabs pouncing and pawing at something on the floor. Turns out it was a slug, yay! And I freaked out.
I’m cool with spiders and insects, but I don’t do well with slimy slugs and worms. 🙁
The one I like the most is probably the one I have now. It’s layered and down past my shoulders so it has lots of movement. Only took me 35 years to find!
Oh, that’s tougher. Hmm… It’s a tossup between the time a stylist hacked away at my curly/wavy hair with a razor (I had a frizz halo for six months after!) or the horribly cropped, boyish cut my parents forced upon me when I was 12. It led folks to assume I was a little dude… Yes, it was *that* bad.
That’s easy! Mozzarella and basil, please. I’ll take a margherita pizza any day of the week.
I can walk semi-comfortably in 3.5 inches; anything higher than that spells disaster.
En Vogue’s Born to Sing, The Pharcyde’s Biazarre Ride II the Pharcyde, U2’s Achtung Baby and the Miss Saigon soundtrack… I still have each of these on tape — yes, tape. Of course, I don’t have a tape player anymore (go figure).
A mojito, a margarita on the rocks (with salt) or a Corona…
A gold necklace with large interlocking pieces. I got it on sale in the Macy’s costume jewelry section years ago and reach for it whenever I can’t figure out what to wear. It pretty much goes with everything.
My favorite pair of Lucky jeans (the ones with the hole in the thigh!), a purple tank top and a light brown sweater.
To manage my time wisely (a constant struggle), to prepare a few healthy dinners and — this one’s my most important objective — to remember to smile.
It’s yet another Monday, my friends. Apart from the slug incident in the living room this morning (bluh!), today’s just chugging along. I stayed up late last night to watch True Blood before bed (what did you think?), and now I’m paying for it. Thank goodness for caffeine, right?

Karen says
I think having a bad haircut/perm combo in elementary school is a rite of passage!
I had one when I was 5… it was awful!
How exciting that your bestie is having a baby. You’re going to be an auntie!
Nina says
And a godmother too! 🙂
Its a boy and she is stoked. Her eldest is already turning 8 this year.
Whats funny about the bad haircut/perm combo I had was I saw the pictures again this year and I cringed. I showed them to the Hubs and he asked me if I ate something really sour by accident when the school picture was taken. Ugh! 😛
Karen says
Mine was awful! I looked like a poodle with a bowl cut!
Will you be hosting the shower?
Nina says
Yep, Me and her younger sister. Im in charge of some of the food and the party favors.
I was going to make individual green tea tiramisu cups for the ladies to bring home but I think im going to be pressed for time that day. The Hubs’ twin brothers are having a birthday party the same day and since ill be missing that I said I will make a huge blueberry cobbler and some cupcakes for them.
So now I need a party favor that I can make way, way in advance… 🙂

I hope you feel better soon! Get healthy so you can kick some booty on all your tests. 🙂
Christina says
Hey 🙂

Tiffany says
I liked TB last night! Lots of different story lines, but it kept me entertained!
Le list
1. Mood: bored at work 🙂
2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had? Back when I had cute sideswept bangs. I can never get anyone to cut them right anymore.
3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? When I got a perm. UGH.
4. Favorite pizza toppings? I’m with you on the mozzarella and basil (plus garlic salt!). That or extra cheese and bell peppers!

Karen says
Seriously, email is like a Hydra monster from Greek mythology… they just keep coming back!
As for True Blood, I won’t be able to take another season of Tara acting like an emotional wreck. I want her to be feisty, like she was in the first season!
Tiffany says
oh yeah, Tara is quite the mess. I wish they would show more Lafayette!
OMG, did you just die when they did Sam’s dream of him and Bill?! hahahaaaa!
Karen says
When Lafayette walked out wearing that be-dazzled basketball jersey dress (?!) I just about died. His single feather earring was a nice touch, too!
Hyzenthlay says
1. Mood: Content – It’s the first weekday of summer vacation!
2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had? Probably medium to long length with layers (sometimes longer towards the front, sometimes longer towards the back)
3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? Gosh, I don’t know. The most *drastic* hairstyle I’ve had was a pixie – but it suited me well at the time!
4. Favorite pizza toppings? Big fan of margherroni (margherita with pepperoni), though I’ve just discovered the bliss of getting a sausage/bell pepper/fresh tomato pizza with half tomato sauce and half pesto (two sauces blended together over the pizza). I know it sounds weird, but it is SO good!
5. Highest heel you can wear without toppling over? 3.5 to 4 inches, I think. Though all of my heels of that height have a platform built in, which probably skews my perception.
6. Favorite CDs/records from your teen years? I really didn’t get into music until college. I mean, I listened to the radio, but I listened to NPR and sometimes the pop-rock station.
7. If we met at a bar for drinks, what would you order? Hmm, probably a margarita on the rocks with salt. Maybe some sort of mixed lemonade thing. I’m picky about my mojitos 🙂
8. One of your favorite pieces of jewelry and why you love it? Simple gold chain. When I was in high school I won the Senior Girl Athlete award, and one of the prizes was a $50 gift certificate to one of the nicest jewelry stores in the city. After a summer of working my first paying job, my mom and I went into town and found the chain. It represents to me all of the hard work I put into high school and my first real job 🙂 And it’s not like the typical chain most people wear – it’s a box chain.
9. Outfit: Navy blue shorts, white tank with a peasant top over it with blue and purple flowers.
10. Your weekly goals: RELAX! Clean the house, play with the dog, spend quality time with the bf, watch movies, catch up with friends (in other words, all the things that get shoved aside the closer to the end of the school year I get). 🙂 I really want to cook and bake things, too!
Karen says
How fun! It sounds like you’re in for a wonderful, relaxing week.
Can I live vicariously through you? I am especially excited about the baking. 😀
Hyzenthlay says
Definitely 🙂 I’m glad to share! Though I am going to have to get the baking going early every day, since it’s getting HOT here during the day (UGH!) . . . something you CAN’T miss from Davis. We’re supposed to be over 90 today. Of course, the sad thing is that at the end of the summer 92 will feel downright chilly and gorgeous. 🙂
Karen says
Nope, don’t miss the hot days AT ALL (I miss the nights, though!).
I can’t believe I used to run in that weather… crazy!
Anyway, what are you going to bake?
Hyzenthlay says
I’m thinking I’ll start with pumpkin bread – I love eating it toasted for breakfast. After that, I’m not sure. I like quick breads, but I should really try some breads that require rising and kneading and such. Perhaps I’ll try a foccacia with basil . . . Since I’m sharing with you, do you have any requests that I should try?
Karen says
Mmm, pumpkin bread.
A cake would be great.
Or maybe some lemon bars?
Did I happen to mention I got a ice cream maker? I can’t wait to start using it!
lexi says
Hi Karen,
I hope you enjoyed this gorgeous weekend. I am hoping the weeks sails smoothly.
1. Mood: Accomplished – ran both Sat/Sun – total of 4 miles. Something I have not done in AGES! But I am also annoyed – my check engine light came on. I just had this fix no more than 6 months ago!
2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had? Um probably before I had my daughter – super long with blunt bangs but then again I had all the time in the world to blow it out and get regular bang trims!
3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? 6th grade – perm/Belinda Carlisle bob – you get the picture and it’s not pretty.
4. Favorite pizza toppings? I’m probably the only one to say this but I LOVE anchioves on a pizza.
5. Highest heel you can wear without toppling over? 4 – it’ll take a few minues but memory will kick in and I can strut, albeit slow, but I think I still got it =)
6. Favorite CDs/records from you teen years? Jane’s Addiction Nothing’s Shocking, Brand New Heavies, Lisa Stansfield, BBD, Soul II Soul, The Cure Staring at the Sea, The Smiths Queen is Dead and yes these were all on vinyl and cassette tapes!
7. If we met at a bar for drinks, what would you order?
8. One of your favorite pieces of jewelry and why you love it?
9. Outfit:
10. Your weekly goals:
lexi says
ha sorry, i accidentally hit submit too early!
7. I’d order a Magarita on the rocks – this forces me to sip my drink instead of taking it down like a big gulp if I ordered a Mojito!
8. Favorite jewelry – aside from my engagement ring, I love the necklace my husband gave me last year for my bday – he’s an architect geek and art snob so he gave me this pendant that’s composed of concrete and titanium – small disc and it’s on a silver cable. The cable has softened so it’s alot more malleable. At first I didn’t get it but after putting it on I instantly fell in love!
9. Outfit – boring work outfit of v-neck sweater, slacks, flats
10, Weekly goal -get my car fixed, pay bills, and planning to only buy moisturizer. After testing many samples Chanel pretty much worked the best.
Karen says
Hey Lexi,
Which Chanel moisturizer are you thinking about?
lexi says
the hydramax + gel cream and serum. I’m just sad that serum is $135 alone. But together creates smoothness on my otherwise dry eczema face =(
do you recommend something else??
RZ Sokol says
1. Mood:Frustrated and upset. HR needed to email paperwork and check , and they forgot the check!
2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had?long straight hair with side-swept hair. This was with my old hair dresser, sigh.
3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? Super short “inverted bowl” ? haircut. I was recovering from a baad breakup!

Karen says
Love Like a Virgin. I actually have that on vinyl!
Trisha says
1. Mood:
I have to work, but I am really not feeling the motivation today. That’s the major problem with being self-employed. There’s no one to stand over you and make you do your job.
2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had?
I’d agree with what you said, Karen, and say what I have now. I just seem to get better and better looking as I get older.
3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had?
In high school I wore my hair in ‘liberty spikes’ a few times. Basically, you coat your fingers in Elmer’s Glue and twist tufts of your hair away from your head in spikes. So I was walking around with these crazy spikes coming away from my head. Poor life decision.
4. Favorite pizza toppings?
Bacon! Not stupid Canadian bacon, but real, crunchy breakfast-style bacon. Mmmmmm….
5. Highest heel you can wear without toppling over?
I can wear kitten heels comfortably, but once I get over that, I start to get nervous and you can see it in my walk.
6. Favorite CDs/records from you teen years?
No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom, Weezer’s Blue Album and Pinkerton. Also, while they came out much earlier, I listened to Queen’s Greatest Hits and Abba’s Gold Album like it was going out of style when I was a teen.
7. If we met at a bar for drinks, what would you order?
A Shirley Temple, probably, or maybe a virgin Strawberry Dacquiri. Yeah, I don’t drink alcohol.
8. One of your favorite pieces of jewelry and why you love it?
My lip ring. I hate to take it out. It’s the one thing left from my teenaged years that still shows I’m ‘alternative’ or ‘different’. That’s not why I like it, though. I just feel it’s a part of me.
9. Outfit:
Brown guacho pants and a white tank top. I’m super casual right now.
10. Your weekly goals:
This week? Try to eat a little better, try to get some work done, and to work some more on my novel. Let’ hope I succeed in ALL of those things.

4. Favorite pizza toppings? cheese&mushrooms or basil mozzarella

Tania says
Karen,
At least you were up for an aweseome reason. I was up because there was a tornado warning. Thankfully the funnel cloud didn’t touch down!! Ahh….gotta love Kansas! While in KC I went to Sephora and I tried out Nars Super Orgasm blush….holy disco glitter batman!! The original looks like this Rimmel Blush trio I bought so I didn’t get any. I did buy some Rosebud Mentha Lip Salve which I figure you won’t like since you didn’t like the original. It’s more pigmented and not as glossy as the mint gloss from BBW.
Le list
1. Mood: indecisive. I have to bargain with myself today….it’s wierd.
2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had? everyone tends to like me with curls. they are just as much work as straightening and not as forgiving.

10. Your weekly goals: Boss Number 1 is going on sabatical next month so I must catch up with her and ask her a zillion questions before she leaves. Organize the office where Boss Number 2 works. Seriously the files are a hot mess. It’s so bad I went hunting for spare file folders and couldn’t find any and there aren’t any to recycle either!!

Have a great week!

2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had? I’ve had several I’ve really liked. But the one I often go back to is just a long, layered cut with longer side-swept bangs. Low maintenance and goes with however I decided to style my hair. If need be I can wash and go, and I like that 🙂
3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? Ugh, either the bowl cut I had as a child during my tom-boy years, or the time in I was in 6th grade and asked for a trim and she gave me BANGS. Not good for a kid with wavy hair who had no idea what any kind of styling tool was lol.
4. Favorite pizza toppings? Pineapple! If I’m making my own, I also like to do an eggplant, artichoke heart, olive and feta combo. My husband thinks I’m weird!
5. Highest heel you can wear without toppling over? I’m 5’9″ with a 5’7″ husband so I stay away from heels! I always had anyway, I’m a clumsy girl. The most I can tolerate is a kitten heel when I’m going for sassy.
6. Favorite CDs/records from you teen years? Oh, I was quite the suffering artist, so I wore out my albums by Alanis Morrisette, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, anything loud!
7. If we met at a bar for drinks, what would you order? Depending on my mood, either a fruity mixed drink like a cosmo, or a nice glass of wine. Preferably moscato! I pretty much like anything sweet.
8. One of your favorite pieces of jewelry and why you love it? A simple long chain with several delicate looking keys. Hip with a touch of romance.
9. Outfit: Grey sweats and a white v-neck tee, I’m about to walk my eagerly awaiting dog.
10. Your weekly goals: Get ready for next week’s art show!!!!!!!! It’s going to be a lot of preparation, but I’m excited.
Karen says
Hi Liz!
An art show sounds exciting. Will you be exhibiting your work?
Liz! says
I am! I’m only showing one piece though….the art show is for the little munchkins I part-time teach. The lead teacher was actually my art teacher as a child and through my teen years, and this year we’re celebrating the 15th year of the after school art program she started. I was her first student, which is why I’ll also be showing a piece, as part of the anniversary thing. I’m excited but kind of nervous too, I’ve been working on it for months, it’s an oil painting on a rather large canvas and I reallllllly like it so far but I’m having a hard time deciding on how exactly to finish it. Decisions, decisions!
Lisa S. says
1. Mood? happy but sleepy always sleepy on Monday mornings (afternoon now!)
2. Best Hair? what I have now, side swept bangs and hair just past my shoulders
3. Worst Hair? When I was pregnant with my daughter (this was back in “85) I wanted that
whole short in the back, long in the front, asymmetrical Sheena Easton thing she was rocking when she was in the Prince “you’ve got the look” video. The hair dresser butchered me! She tight permed my straight hair at the top so I looked like a mushroom!
4. Pizza? Pesto and grilled chicken with plum tomatoes and mozz cheese
5. Heels? 3.5
6. Favorite teen music? U2 and Adam and the Ants with a dash of Journey

9.Outfit? Orange plaid shirt and jeans
10. Weekly goal” what weekly goal?
And I posted about TB in Sundays last post, so I’ve cut it and pasted it below! ;0)
As for True Blood, it did not disappoint! “Conscience off, d*ck†On!, “I’m not in the mood for any lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam†, “Hoyt, if we’re gonna be roommates, you’re gonna have to absorb some pu**y overflow!â€, “you get what I’m putting down?†And many other quotes to numerous to mention. And did everyone get as hot and bothered by Sams “special dream†as I did? I’m pretty sure neither actor is gay in real life but the chemistry was smokin’! And I have no favorites among the men, I could happily be the filling in the Bill, Eric, Sam and Jason sandwich.
Is that TMI? ;0)
Karen says
OOH, I remember that Sheena Easton haircut. It was quite fierce!
As for TB, I just re-watched part of it again over lunch. It seems like this season is going to be a good one. I just really hope that something good happens to Tara. I miss the part of her that was so sassy! I don’t know if I could take another season of her being emotionally unstable.

2. Best hairstyle you’ve ever had? The one I have now: Its shoulder length with lots of volume (thanks to learning about extensions to give my hair oomph!) and it’s usually worn curly.

8. One of your favorite pieces of jewelry and why you love it? My wedding ring. My husband used to find it too “loud” cuz I found a wrap around ring to go with my engagement ring. He likes very simple things and I …don’t. Besides the ring having such sentimental value, it’s just a rockin’ ring.

3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? Hands down…a mullet. Not kidding. I too was mistaken for little boy from the age of 6 until about 8. Brutal. I don’t know what my parents were thinking. I think I’m so scarred that I keep my hair super long now!

3. Worst hairstyle you’ve ever had? In sophomore year of high school, I had a really short unilength haircut when my hair was in transition from straight to curly. My hair was hugely frizzy and triangular, Diana-Ross-style, but without all the awesome diva-swagger. (Strangely, I had stick-straight hair as a child which turned into curly/wavy hair.)
4. Favorite pizza toppings? VEGETARIAN pizza! Yum, I love all the veggies!

I’m getting my crap together to start grad school again, so I hear you in that department too. But you know what? WE CAN DO IT 🙂 Good luck!
