Tired. My body’s all twisted from the time change. I couldn’t fall asleep and stayed up late reading Shake Your Beauty. Now I’m paying for it.
Private stock! My bad — spontaneous Notorious B.I.G lyrical moment (he’s on heavy iPod rotation).
I’m really sipping on a cup of borderline gross coffee. Due to the no-sleep thing I accidentally poured about half a cup of powdered creamer into my cup. Belch!
I don’t have anything on ’em yet, but I’ll probably end up going with Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Samba-dy Loves Me to perk up my tired eyes.
Taking it back to the old school — uh, 1999 — with J’adore Dior!
Tevin Campbell (why, oh why?), 30 Rock, the daily Jumble, Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies
Waiting at the movies to buy tickets for Watchmen and having George Lucas, who lives in the area, saunter up and stand right behind me in line. Sci-fi nerds that we are, both El Hub and were so star struck that neither of us could say anything. I felt so Six Degrees of Yoda.
Is it too much to hope that some of G. Lucas’ creativity was transferred through proximity?
Currently rocking the suburbs in a fetching outfit of white shorts, a pink long-sleeved top and black zip-up fleece, aka my jammies
Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
Kind people, sunny late afternoons and lavender-scented body products
Resist the temptation of junk food, do stomach crunches at least three times this week, catch up on my endless stack of things to read

I highly recommend it.
