Morning, homies! How was Friday night? Did it involve any makeup, music, dancing, boys, or dancing boys who wear makeup?
I’m not awake fully awake yet…which explains my big cup of coffee and zombie-like stare, and I feel like starting the day with simple tasks and two easily digestible comfort foods: 1) a warm caffeinated beverage and 2) an hour of web surfing. Would you like to join me?

May 8th, 2010 at 7:31 amThat poor dog!! Luckily we don’t have a Roomba and Muffin avoids the dog in general.
I have to chug a gallon of coffee and study because I have to take a final today at 6:45. The massive freak snowstorm we received in winter meant we didn’t go to school for a week so all the exams got pushed around.
Yuck!
And I was supposed to take my mom out to vineyards today for an early Mother’s Day trip.
Have a great day!
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:21 amHi Jenna,
Hope your final went well and that you did great! How was the trip to the vineyards?

May 8th, 2010 at 8:16 amI am currently using the Kiehl’s sunblock and it’s great. Not only does it offer sun protection but also very moisturizing!

May 9th, 2010 at 8:20 amHi Vonvon,
I’m always looking for something that moisturizes well so that sounds promising. How does it smell?

Amber says
May 8th, 2010 at 11:04 amI’m just relaxing today, husband has to work. I slept reeeeally late and it was glorious. Last night I made some chocolate chip cookies from scratch, so I’ll probably snack on those and a smoothie after my workout. 🙂
I’ve got my eye on Sephora’s Shiseido Fun in the Sun kit today. It has some products I’ve been wanting to try and the travel size would be great for my upcoming vacations!

Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:19 amI went to Sephora yesterday to get my mum’s gift (a Clarisonic Mia aka a Mia for my momma aka a momma Mia… ha ha ha! okay, bad joke) and I was tempted by soo much stuff it wasn’t even funny. 🙁
Might have to put the Shiseido kit on my list… one can never have enough sunscreen around.
Nina says
May 8th, 2010 at 11:11 amTurns out this is the first of sevral road trips were going to be taking … so im going to need a good all around palette and good sunblock. Im eyeing the Sephora sampler kit or that Kiehls up there.

May 8th, 2010 at 11:22 amHaving a lovely, restful and allergy-filled afternoon at home with the Mister & the cats. My child is off running with a pack of her fellow 6th-grade pals in the park, enjoying the sunshine. That mean kitty Roombah video is the funniest thing ever; my favorite part is after she punches the dog in the face (for like, the 3rd time), she looks down at her paw with this expression like, “bish, PLEASE…my manicure!!” Love that video.
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:17 amHa ha! I love that part too! Gotta love how the cat lays down the smackdown and then just immediately starts grooming…
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and that your allergies are under control!
Alison says
May 8th, 2010 at 11:41 amUh oh, Karen- be careful with that Meowmania site! I was playing with it yesterday, and my cats got all freaked out and started looking for an intruder! I felt so mean! 🙁
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:15 amAww… it’s all in good fun. Indoor cats crave stimulus, right? At least they’re getting a little something!
Jen says
May 8th, 2010 at 12:32 pmI have nothing planned today. I was so tired last night: I spent 8 hours at the mall O_O. Came home and crashed for 12 hours. Haha.
I think I’m gonna put on some makeup for fun today. 😀
Lastly, that kitty on the Roomba= too funny!

May 8th, 2010 at 2:11 pmLOLLLL “move bitch, get outta the way!”
I also love Meowmania. Tigger is curled up next to me and he was wondering where all the mewing was coming from!
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:15 amLOL! Did he try to find the kittehs in the computer? Tabs was desperate to rescue his brethren!
Tekoa says
May 8th, 2010 at 3:12 pmMeowmania is funny. It totally freaked out Eddy (human fiance) who thought our real cats were in trouble.
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:14 amTabs spent a half hour trying to find the ghost kittehns in the machine. LOL!
Julie says
May 8th, 2010 at 4:57 pmI just love that cat letting the dog know who’s boss! Hilarious! Thanks for the LOLs.
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:13 amYou’re welcome! I like it when the kitteh swats the dog and then immediately starts grooming herself. 🙂 Hilarious!
Stephanie says
May 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pmAhhh! That guy is such a great singer, and he makes me love that song even more (I didn’t know that was possible :).
.-= Stephanie’s last blog post… EOTD: Soft Brown+Pink =-.
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:12 amI know. I’ve been playing it over and over… he really does bring some serious soul to that song!
Julbra says
May 8th, 2010 at 9:46 pmThat dude singing Lisztomania–I want to go out with him! He’s amazing, I love a man on guitar! lol
Karen says
May 9th, 2010 at 8:12 amLOL… well he’s on youtube. I get you could ask! You never know…
