Well, it shaped up to be a lazy Saturday here at Casa de MBB. Tabs and I have been parked on the couch, catching up on episodes of The City (um, how does that Olivia girl still have a job?). It’s a comfortable 78 degrees here with nary a cloud in the sky. I might let Tabs take me for a walk in a few minutes and then perhaps catch the new Toy Story movie.
Sometimes lazy days just really hit the spot. 🙂
Whatchu been up to today? Are you knee-deep in adventure or just taking it easy like me? Do you have a spare minute to do a little Saturday Surfing?

June 26th, 2010 at 4:13 pmI was looking at that Revlon stain earlier (sneaked a CVS trip on my way home LOL…) … looks promising!
Now to wait for a sale or a coupon! 🙂
Karen says
June 26th, 2010 at 5:31 pmHa! I am all about covert drugstore makeup shopping.
I was just at Target the other day on the guise of buying “stuff for Tabs,” but was actually there to look at stuff from Boots, heh!
Nina says
June 27th, 2010 at 7:30 amThat reminds me, I think were out of wet cat food … Anja will never eat just dry food so I might need to make a petstore run. Guess whats next to the petstore? My most fave place on earth (accdg to the Hubs) — Target! 😛
Karen says
June 27th, 2010 at 10:39 amAnja is such a diva! What is her wet food of choice? Tabs won’t stand for anything else other than Fancy Feast meals “with gravy.”
Nina says
June 27th, 2010 at 10:56 amYes she is a diva – the true diva of our household actually!
They both like the Proplan WITH Gravy as well. They are partial to chicken w/ rice and weirdly enough, dont like salmon!

June 26th, 2010 at 6:41 pmLOL! Oh my god, the missing cat link has me with stitches in my side from laughing 😛 I love it!

Steph B says
June 26th, 2010 at 7:15 pmSaw Toy Story 3 3D version last night and it was wonderful but crazy sad. Be sure to wear waterproof mascara and bring tissues!
Karen says
June 26th, 2010 at 10:03 pmI’ve heard that it’s really good! I didn’t watch it today, but hopefully I’ll be able to catch it tomorrow. I’ll be sure to bring tissue and wear waterproof mascara. Thanks for the heads up!
Sarah says
June 27th, 2010 at 3:43 pmThanks for the review of Toy Story 3 Steph. I had also heard that this movie is exceptionally sad and since most new animated movies seem to turn on the waterworks for me (ie. Wall-e) I’m probably gonna need a supersize box of tissues! Lol

June 26th, 2010 at 7:37 pmI think olivia still have a job because she comes from a wealthy family, because of her last name is the reason why she gets those jobs. She is soooo rude and disrespectful, and honestly she have no clue how to get the job done. I don’t think she’s qualified for employment. For some reason joe is obsessed and in aww of her that he can’t even see that she actually don’t work….any way I been reading your blog forever now, and u always mention nutella I have been living under a rock cause I have never ever heard of it before. You always mention how yummy it is, and I became more and more curious each time u mention it. So this past friday when I went to target I purchased it, but have yet to tase it. I was hoping they would have a small jar but they only had one size….
Karen says
June 26th, 2010 at 10:02 pmHi Tricia,
It’s really yummy on toast or with some sliced fruit. 🙂
Amber says
June 26th, 2010 at 10:28 pmThat shoe interview was great! Did you check out the link to the Bata Museum? Wish I had a trip to Toronto planned!
.-= Amber’s last blog post… Diamond Head- four ways =-.
Karen says
June 27th, 2010 at 10:38 amI did. If I ever end up in Toronto, I plan on stopping by! 🙂
Julia says
June 26th, 2010 at 11:54 pmOh my GOODNESS! That is little Raquel Castro of the Kevin Smith movie “Jersey Girls!” She played Ben Affleck’s daughter. She was sooo adorable and talented then, and look at her now! Who knew she could sing? Now I feel old…

Karen says
June 27th, 2010 at 10:36 amGood eye, Julia! Yeah, I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten more work. I think she’s adorable and has a great voice.

June 27th, 2010 at 1:16 amBest cotton pads – hands down – are the ones you buy at costco! and they’re dirt cheap. They never lose cotton on me, and they’re double sided with a super soft side and a light exfoliation side. Although I’m sure the Chanel ones would be tres magnifique!
Karen says
June 27th, 2010 at 10:35 amCostco is a mecca for cheap beauty items. Have you tried the Kirkland wipes? I have friends who swear by them… I’m about to road test a pack this week!
