Howdy, ladies. Hope yer havin’ a nice weekend so far. I’m getting ready to leave the house pretty soon and hopefully go to a movie (The Social Network; have you seen it?). I say hopefully because every time El Hub and I head out to catch a movie we get out the door a little too late and miss it.
Dontcha hate it when that happens?
What are you up today? Got any room in your life for $400 worth of MAC and Chanel makeup? Sorry, but let me just get something out of the way right now… You’re going to have to just forgive me for being pushy when it comes to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, because I AM going to keep asking you to show your support by emailing/linking to a picture of yourself holding your BCA sign like this. That’s all. I’m just sayin’. 😉
And shoot, if we held the drawing today your odds of winning would be pretty damn good.
Oh, if you’ve already seen The Social Network and thought it was awful, QUICK! — send me an email to warn me! By the time I get it I’ll be in the car on the way to the theater, and you’ll have rescued me in the nick of time.
When you weren’t at the beach this morning, I went surfing without you.
Kidding! I wouldn’t do that. Come on, slow poke. Last one in’s a rotten egg!

Karen says
October 2nd, 2010 at 11:01 pmOHMAHGAWD — kinda off topic but I actually wanted to go to tuttimelon again, LOL!
Marisol says
October 3rd, 2010 at 9:28 amSo yeah I ended up going there yesterday for lunch. After the movie I went over to my mom’s and had the taro/original tart with mochi. 🙂
Karen says
October 3rd, 2010 at 10:40 amHow do you like the mochi? I’ve had it before and it doesn’t do much for me.
Oh, I was at Northgate yesterday and saw a similar self-serve yogurt place (not tuttimelon though). I didn’t try it because the place looked kinda dirty.

October 2nd, 2010 at 7:12 pmShe-ra FTW! Thats funny bec the Hubs and I were playing our nerdy before bed game called Trump The Superhero – and I won because of She-ra!!! 😀
Karen says
