Random useless tidbits

Today I'm meeting with the travel agent to pick up our papers for our trip to Mexico. Our trip that is in TWO WEEKS.

Any nonsense that I previously wrote about being reticent about on going on this trip you can consider a bunch of malarkey.

I am ready.

****

I bought a bunch of makeup from e.l.f. and I am digging it. 

Things I love:

Two brushes
Pressed powder
Eyeshadow set
Single eyeshadow
Eyeliner(s)
Case

Things that are meh:

Lipgloss (mainly due to color chosen)
Blush (still prefer Nars)

I think I maybe spent $30.00, with the train case costing about half of that. Also, with the pressed powders I ordered four because I wasn't sure what shade would be a good match. At one dollar a piece it felt silly not to. One of the four ended being perfect and is by far the best coverage I've ever seen in a powder. AT ONE DOLLAR. I kept the next darkest one for this summer and then threw the other two unopened compacts in my Donate to Goodwill pile.

Iris is doing tumbling at school and is really kind of quite a whirling dervish (or so I hear). Zero fear. Will try ANYTHING. Has entranced the woman teaching it.

****

I constantly appreciate how well T can communicate his thoughts and feelings WITH me. When things are feeling sticky, we talk and those talks mean something. And then things feel better.

I feel fortunate to have him and to have learned enough from past cruddy relationships to have made a smart decision in choosing him.

Ezra's 5th birthday party is on Sunday and I have yet to order a cake. My lord, I need to get my act together.

Some pictures.

I'm so happy that you all are getting to go on this trip. FUN!

Iris as a whirling dervish doesn't surprise me at all.

Where have I been that I did not know about e.l.f.? I feel like I've been missing out.

Also, have FUN on your trip.

Also, I love Iris.

Ezra is not allowed to be 5, that is too grown up. But I can't wait to see pics just the same.

I appreciate that you appreciate good communication. Some folks have no idea what a rare and wonderful gift it truly is. Communication isn't a given... it's a blessing.

I must say that I'm super jealous of your trip! I hope that you have an AMAZING time!

I also enjoy the ELF stuff from Target! So cheap and good. I haven't tried the powder yet because I wasn't out but I'm going to try it. I recommend the bronzer...just got some this week and am enjoying the healthy bronze glow I have!
