Positively spunky! It’s gonna be a good week.
Nope. I sprained an ankle running sprints in track when I was 13 (swelled up like a grapefruit, gross!), but that’s the closest I’ve come, knock on wood.
Just my ears. Mum had them pierced at the hospital right after I was born (it’s a Filipino thing).
Toaster waffles, a Morning Star veggie sausage patty and a big cup of coffee.
I’m being packaging efficient today with the LORAC Silver Screen Palette for all three.
Suzy… She was a black and white guinea pig.
I’ve been deeply obsessed with NARS the Multiple Duo in Orgasm/South Beach ($45) for months.
Hella cool! Don’t Stop Believing = one of my favorite songs, evah.
I’ve got my jeans set out for the day, but I’m still in my blue and green plaid jammy bottoms, oversize navy blue UC Davis T and gray zip-up sweatshirt. Sexy…
Maintain a positive outlook no matter what, snap some pictures of my new neighborhood, reach out to friends I haven’t chatted with in a long time, drag El Hub to my favorite Indian food restaurant (I’m craving a dosa, big time!).
Heya, ladies! Happy Monday. 😀
I’m halfway through my gigantic cup of coffee and feeling WHEEEEE! — overwhelming burst of caffeine-fueled joy!
How’s your morning? Before things get too crazy in your day, let me know how things are going on your end of the keyboard.

2. Ever broken any bones? Yes, broke my finger playing water polo in high school. Coach didn’t believe me, told me I’d jammed it and to pull it out. Turns out I probably set it myself and then played for 5 more minutes with it unsplinted.

.-= Catherine’s last blog post… Regular Blogging Interuppted… =-.
L says
1. Mood: Sleepy and feverish. Grrr. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.
2. Ever broken any bones? I am so jealous of you. I broke my left wrist at 7, my right wrist (dominant) at 13, and then at the end of February, my right thumb got slammed into a car door and broke through the entire bone in two places. It hurts — and FAR more than either wrist did (many more nerve endings). Because it was my dominant thumb, I could barely do anything for a month. Sadly, my thumbnail is still pretty funky looking. On the bright side, though, the surgeon warned me that it might not grow back at all, so I guess I won’t complain! My recommendation is to be VERY, VERY wary of car doors. Seriously. We’re talking involuntary tears streaming down your face response — and I have one hell of a pain threshold. Be very, very careful!
3. Do you have any piercings? I actually have no piercings. When I was a little kid, my parents told me that I had to wait until I was old enough to make the decision for myself — high school. By the time I got there, I just didn’t care anymore. I look at it as one less cash drain!
4. Breakfast? I was home sick, so I had a lot of pudding. Yes, I’m secretly five.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Since I’m sick, I look like I have brown and blue eyeshadow smudged under my eyes and a LOT of Benetint on my cheeks. Sadly, I am bare faced, so I cannot blame the corpse eyes on crappy makeup.
6. Name of your first pet? My parents got two kitties, Lizzie and Chuckie, before I was born. Chuckie sadly died when I was pretty young (end of first grade), but Lizzie lived until I was almost 16. She would perch on my crib railing to watch over me while I slept as an infant. She was my first word. She would run up to me to snuggle whenever I cried. I miss her!
7. Current favorite cream blush? Ugh, sadly, I no longer use cream blushes. I get serious post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (we’re talking a good year or so) and I got a couple zits on my cheeks this year. I find that cream/gel blush disturbs my concealer, so it’s only powder blush for me — at least for now.
8. Journey — Cool or cheesy? Both — and it’s to tally more than just “Don’t Stop Believing.” “Any Way You Want It” is also great.
9. Outfit: PJs and wool socks. Smartwool is the best ever when it gets cold, or, in my current case, when you’re sick and having serious internal temperature regulation problems. Woo! I can sense the envy.
10. Weekly goals: I was going to get a lot done this week, but I’m just going to go with getting healthy. I’d be très pleased if I got my raise, though!
L says
Crap, totally, not to tally. I think I need to go to bed.
Jen says
Hey Karen,
I’m learning a lot about the story writing process. I have a software called Celtx (it’s free at celtx.com) and it does all the formatting for you. Pretty awesome.
My teacher, although quite young, is very smart and talented. It’s kinda intimidating! The only thing against him though is time. We didn’t have a teacher for the first five weeks of the semester, so now we’re really really behind. He’s putting our noses to the grindstone, but we have other classes too, you know? Sigh.
Rita says
1. Mood: Afternoon fatigue..

7. Current favorite cream blush? Don’t have any.
8. Journey — Cool or cheesy? A band called Journey? I have no idea.

Kelly says
Ha, you will laugh! The bands were local metal bands named Death Angel and Vio-Lence. Yeah and you wonder why there was a riot!
Actually the Hayward police just showed up all the sudden in full riot gear and started spraying tear gas. They had turned off the sound system and turned on the lights after neighbors complained that the bands were too loud (this was at Centennial Hall, which is surrounded by condos). Total mayhem broke out, and I was just trying to get away from it all!
