Saturday Surfing

October 2nd, 2010 by Karen 21 Comments

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?

Breast Cancer Awareness MonthWhat 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!

        So 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. 🙂

        How 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.

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).
