7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

July 12th, 2014 by Karen 330 Comments

THE COFFEE AND THE BLOGGER

“Please, nice lady,” said the terrified cup of coffee. “Please don’t drink me.”

“Why not!?” barked the groggy, bleary-eyed beauty blogger as she ambled toward the carton of almond milk on the counter. “You’re mine! And I need you!”

“But…” pleaded the cup, “if you drink me, I’ll disappear, and I don’t want to disappear.”

The beauty blogger’s left eye twitched uncontrollably, and her hands were twisted into claws. “Bah! I don’t care! I’m not awake yet and I need my coffee!” Clumsily, she dumped the milk-like liquid into the cup, filling it close to the brim.

“Grgglrgl!” the cup cried. “I can’t swim!”

“Oh, shut-up!” the blogger screamed. “Just shut-up already!”

–THE END–

OK, that was dumb.

SO dumb.

LOL! But I am really that tired right now, and I have no sympathy whatsoever for the coffee I am about to consume, bwahahahahahaaa! 🙂

Hi, babe. How’s it going this morning? What did you do last night?

I made pasta for din-din and watched some PBS specials on Netflix, one about Chatsworth, which is the palatial house where Downtown Abbey takes place, and the second one was about Selfridges, the department store in London (founded by an American, who knew?). And then I watched the first half of Titanic again (because we all know what happens in the second half).

Sometimes TV is the world’s greatest cure for a frazzled mind, ya know? There are times when I literally need for my brain to be turned into mush.

In other news, I’m counting down the seconds till tomorrow because I’m heading into the city to meet my two girlfriends for the day, and I haven’t seen them in a while.

So that’ll be fun.

I hope you have a great weekend lined up. I’ll be around, as usual, so I’ll talk to you soon.

    Coffee? Yes, please. I am on my 2/3 day when I have to start work at 4:30 am so I am sipping on my 4th cup of coffee already…It’s going to be a long day. But after work I am going to the mall to get rewarded, lol. I want to get a skirt that I really like and I should have bought it right away and, needless to say, I am going to browse the gorgeous aisles of Sephora. Tomorrow sounds like fun for you, what are you going to do with your girlfriends?

    The coffee conversation took me back to my days working as an intern (just last year, but it feels like an eternity ago). I really needed that coffee boost to tide me over until lunch… I very much sympathise with you.

    My brother is living in London at the moment so this last year, I’ve been there 2 times and while I like visiting London, I wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to live there.

    I can’t remember a specific movie, but Frollo (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame) scared the hell out of me. Another horrifying Disney moment was when the boy in Pinocchio was turned into a donkey. Pretty much scarred me for life.

    I actually have been to London. It was years ago when my sister was a nanny for a family there for a year. The only bad thing about it was that I had just broken up with my first real boyfriend and I feel like I was in a daze the whole time. Hubby and I have been binge-watching Sherlock and it is really motivating us to want to go together sometime.

    We watched part of a recorded episode of Behind the Seams which is basically baseball documentary. We’ve got just about no TV recording these days and an alignment issue with our DirecTV dish anyway. The baby only allows us to watch 1 hour of TV per day after he goes to bed anyway, so it all works out. But currently that’s been Halt and Catch Fire and it’s gotten cut off mid-recording two episodes in a row (due to the alignment problem, ack). Anyway. The baseball stuff is interesting but not high on my list of Friday night viewing. ;D

Everyone always thinks I’m ridiculous when I tell them that!

    The last meal I prepared was a Weight Watchers version of pork tikka masala. It was YUMMMMM!

    I have been to London. Twice. 1986 and 1997. Time I went back I think.

    The movie Duel, the Steven Spielberg one about the big truck chasing a man driving a car, scared the hell out of me when I was a child and I still feel sick if I think about it. I just looked it up, it was made in 1971 and I must have seen it on TV when I was under 10 so I probably saw it almost 40 years ago. *Shivers*

I had an amazing vacation there – the restaurants, museums, theater… We also took a few days and drove to the Cotswolds – so beautiful – and stayed at these amazing b&bs .where they would serve you homemade English breakfasts on fine china. Now that I think of it, it was a bit Downtown Abbey-esque feeling. Not quite but you get my point I hope. 😉

    Just got back from a girl’s weekend. It was fun, but I’m wiped out. Recovering with some Pad Thai and PBS.

    Once upon a time, there was a young woman. She really loved lychees. They were her favorite summertime fruit simply because she found them just so damn refreshing and fun to peel apart. She also desperately wished she could win this randomized Sephora gift card contest. 😛

    The end!

    Summer to me is watermelon (and hot dogs).

    I saw the movie Event Horizon as a kid and it scared me to death! I had nightmares for the longest time!

    I recently fell in love with nectarines all over again after briefly straying to kiwis and watermelon. Thanks for offering the generous giveaway, Karen! God bless!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
