Saturday plans?
Do anything fun last night? We watched Public Enemies and it was… eh, okay. I enjoyed ogling J. Depp and C. Bale, but the story kind of dragged. The movie felt about 30 minutes too long. Unless you’re a hard core J. Depp or C. Bale fan, it might make a better rental.
This morning I woke up pre-dawn because Tabs jumped on the bed and plopped smack dab on top of my very full bladder. Yup, good times… I love that cat, but sometimes I suspect he secretly loves to mess with me.
What are you up today? I was going to just do household stuff, but I’d rather hit the Apple store to play with the new iPhone and then head back to the Chanel counter to pick up an Eye Gloss from the new Venice Collection.
Tabs says hi. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

July 12th, 2009 at 9:04 amHi Bisbee,
I stopped by the counter yesterday, but they didn’t have one to sell to me! Today I plan on going back… hopefully they’ll have one in stock so that I can review it soon.
Happy Sunday!

July 11th, 2009 at 11:22 amOMG! You surf?! ME TOO! What kind of board do you have? The surf sucks down here in TX though-I gotta go visit you!

Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:07 amHi Gemma,
Yup, I do. I don’t really surf up here in Northern California. The water’s too cold, and I HATE wearing a wetsuit and booties (makes me feel like a sausage). Plus, there’s the whole shark attack thing — YIKES!
Sadly, I only get to surf a few times a year. I go when El Hub and I visit Hawaii, which is where his family is from. How’s the water down in Texas? Is it warm?
Michelle says
July 11th, 2009 at 11:37 amOh no I was so looking forward to drooling over, er I mean watching Public Enemy’s w/my husband but now i’m not so sure after reading this. I’d better hold out for the new Harry Potter opening next week, that looks like it’s going to be a good one 🙂
Well have fun at the shops, I will be doing house chores but then this evening i’m going to have dinner w/an old friend I haven’t seen in a while.
Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:11 amHi Michelle,
Yeah, it’s fun for eye candy, but not so much for plot/character. 🙂 Oh! I will probably watch the new Harry Potter on opening day.
How was your dinner with your friend? Was the food yummy?
Sarahc says
July 11th, 2009 at 11:42 amSame here about Public Enemies Karen. It was only ok, but the eye candy definitely saves it from the scrap heap!
Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:12 amHi Sarahc,
Yah, seriously! Have you seen any other good movies lately?
Karen B says
July 11th, 2009 at 11:48 amI’ve been packing for London. Holy shit, I’m leaving tomorrow!! I still can’t believe it.
Then this afternoon I went to visit my best friend and hang out, we haven’t seen eachother for like four weeks with exams and me working on my thesis. It was so much fun. We had pancakes and just goofed around and chilled.
Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:13 amHi Karen B.,
I hope you had a safe and non-eventful flight. 🙂
I’m so excited for your new adventure!

July 11th, 2009 at 1:29 pmi also will be waiting for you review of the eye gloss. the burgundy shade probs won’t work on me but the three other shades probably could!
today cha cha had is first vet visit. he didn’t like the resident pug, and when sniffed puffed up to about 2x his size, hissed, and swatted him! the pug ran away looking absolutely sad (i had a pug, they guilt you into giving them whatever you want that way). he also was a grumpy kitty when he got his nails trimmed by the vet… but afterwards he was a very well-behaved kitty and didn’t throw a fit in the carrier (i suspect the chewy treats the vet gave him had something to do with it).
cha cha also pounces on my bladder but since he doesn’t weigh much (about a pound and a half), it doesn’t bother me… yet. the vet told me he’s probably going to be a HUGE black cat, which i did not know!

Happy belated birthday! I hope that your beach time was fun. I miss Hawaii…
Vampy Varnish says
July 11th, 2009 at 5:01 pmHmm last night I did nothing as per usual for a Friday night. Bummed to hear Public Enemies was just ok, I love both those guys.
Just got back from getting my hair done (ahhhhh fresh roots) and going to Michaels, where I bought a bunch of cupcake decorating items 🙂

Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:15 amHi Vampy Varnish,
Oh, I love the feeling of fresh roots. Mine are starting to peek through; I’m gonna see how much longer I can hold out. How often do you go back for touch ups?
Marmar says
July 11th, 2009 at 7:11 pmUGH. I love my lil’ darlin.. but I woke up this morning to hair balls everywhere. :-\
I so wanna try the Chanel eye gloss!

Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:18 amHi Marmar,
Oh NO! I went to Vitamin Shoppe yesterday and stumbled into their natural pet foods section. They have these lil’ chews for kitties that are supposed to eliminate hair balls. I didn’t buy it; I figure I’d go to the pet store across the street and talk to the people to get a recommendation.
Beth says
July 11th, 2009 at 8:23 pmI haven’t seen the movie but my husband did and he said the EXACT same thing – it was 30 min too long.
I spent today picking up some new Yellowbox flip flops (on sale!), got some CND top coat (came highly recommended) and looked for a nice coral lipstick or pigmented lipgloss and have decided that a good CORAL is hard to find! I don’t want to spend a lot until I know it is a good shade for me.
Picked up my twins from a sleepover, went to the pool for a couple of hours, went to visit a friend, now I’m home. And I’m shocked that the Housekeeping and Laundry Fairies did NOT stop by while I was out!
Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 9:21 amHi Beth,
That’s so true! Have you tried MAC’s Lychee Luxe Lipglass or Smashbox Limitless Lip Gloss in Boundless? Those two are probably my favorite coral glosses o’ the moment.
Karen B says
July 12th, 2009 at 12:31 pm*waves* Hiiiiii! I’m now at the lounge area of the basement of Sundial Court, Guildhall’s residence. It’s just so awesome to be here!!
Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 2:23 pmHi Karen B.,
YAY! I am glad you got there safely. How are your roommates?
Michelle says
July 12th, 2009 at 1:46 pmIt was fun thanks, we went for Mexican & had steak fajitas & fried ice cream and yes, it was very yummy 🙂 We did a lot of catching up. Happy Sunday!
Karen says
July 12th, 2009 at 2:20 pmHi Michelle,
Fajitas — YUM! And fried ice cream… I’m totally drooling. I hope there were margaritas up in the mix, too. 🙂
I just got back from errands and house hunting. How’s your Sunday going?
Marisol says
July 12th, 2009 at 7:50 pmI hear mixed reviews on that movie. Sounds like I will have to netflix it.
Did you end up purchasing the new iPhone? I know that you recently got yours. I have to wait til December to upgrade mine.
