Saturday Surfing

January 30th, 2010 by Karen 17 Comments

Why is web surfing so much more fun than EVERYTHING on my to-do list? I could be vacuuming, catching up on laundry or cleaning the windows, but instead I’m watching Cameo videos and reading about the weird stuff people put in their coffee. 🙂

Next stop: Cyberspace!

Karen

    Just for you, Karen 🙂

    I went to Dos in Oak Shade and had a chicken Border burrito just for you! It was delicious . . . My friend and I even talked about you while we were there 🙂

        Anytime you want to head east, I’d be *thrilled* to get Dos with you 🙂 Of course, I’d probably be so excited to meet you I’d either completely clam up or I’d never shut up!

          You are too cute! We’d have a ton to talk about, of course! I will definitely let you know if I’m ever in town so we can get our Dos on.

    I’ve been really frustrated and bummed all day and the Cameo video made it all better. Thanks for the laugh! 🙂

        Thanks very much for linking to me! Indeed, the whopper one was delicious. I’ll definitely be trying that again (blue cheese, not so much).

    I really like the idea of the jewelery mirror. I might try that out since my jewelery box is not neat at all.

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).
