I was still misspelling “tomorrow” going into my junior year of high school. Not to mention how cringe-worthy my writing quirks were! I lot of replacing normal words with some altered version of it such as “gawd” instead of “God”. This is coming from one of my old LiveJournals. I wrote a lot about my ex-boyfriend and all the back & forth drama of that. We were on & off for a total of 3 years or so. Pretty much up until I met and started going out with the husband. We were mostly off, but I was fighting to get him back as my boyfriend. He finally wanted to get back together, but by that point I was over it. I miss him, though. He was a great guy and a good friend. I found him on Facebook last month and I requested him as a friend. He didn’t reciprocate and that made me sad. I understand, though.

It feels like the week I spent in AZ was much longer than it was. I cleaned out the refrigerator tonight and I was questioning how good all the food in it was, but most of it would’ve been just fine for the week I was gone, I’m sure. The items I threw out included leftovers the husband had stuck in there that I know he wouldn’t touch again, let alone me. I do swear that my memory isn’t very good considering everything is such a blur, even just over a week ago.

Overall, my trip out to AZ to visit Angel, Kristen and (to finally meet) Robby was nice. I got to meet all of the cats, dogs and ferrets I’ve heard so much about. I can’t say I’m a fan of coming home with a suitcase full of clothes covered in pet hair, though lol. I’m so grateful that they flew me out there & back. It was great spending time with friends, especially since I haven’t done so in a while as far as my friends out here. Just little visits here & there, but it never feels like enough

I can’t believe how hot it was when I woke up around 0945 this morning. I had turned the fan on during the night, but not the actual air conditioner. Unfortunately, I don’t know how cool it’s supposed to get starting tomorrow, so I’m not sure if I should keep the windows closed and set the thermostat for the AC tonight or leave the windows open, letting in the cold of tonight and risk it being warm when I wake up. I do not like waking up in a sweat. I do not like heat, what-so-ever. Bring on the cold, baby! I’d rather bundle up any day!

The husband left a large hickey on my neck and though it wasn’t as dark as hickies typically are, it was enough to warrant concealer and other make-up to mask it for work this afternoon. Of course, I couldn’t just do my neck and risk the difference in color compared to my face, so I ended up doing my whole face and neck. I added some light eyeshadow, mascara and little blush to brighten up my face beyond the shoddy cover-up job I managed. The foundation I had available had been in the car for over a week, exposed to temperature changes and it separated so I need to throw it out. Not to mention I wasn’t able to prep my face for makeup application, which includes a washing, scrubbing and moisturizer. Foundation seems to cake and shit when I don’t prep my face appropriately, so I end up looking flaky and weird. I’ve always been wary of makeup. I’ve seen so many shoddy applications in my years and I never want to look that bad.

For one, I wish that more women and girls knew that they need to blend their foundation not just into their face, but ears and NECK too. Haven’t you seen those pictures of girls in revealing tops and as you move north to their faces, it’s a completely different shade? It’s awful. That’s one of my pet peeves about people and their makeup. When I was in high school, it used to be the girls who seemingly took a Sharpie to their eyebrows and drew clown-like arches on their foreheads. They got made fun of a lot by me and my best friend of the time, Dee. Boy, we were relentless in the way we made fun of them, but just to each other.

I was just overwhelmed with sleepiness. I suppose it’s a good of time as any to head to bed. I want to work on laundry but our washer/dryer unit isn’t drying our clothes at all, pretty much. I had to hang a throw, my work pants and a small handful of hand towels so they’d dry thoroughly. Ridiculous.

Guess what? Deathly Hollows is coming out in a couple of weeks! EXCITING! *SQUEE* I won’t be making the effort of a midnight showing, however. I went to one for Half Blood Prince and the experience just turned me off. Who smokes pot in a movie theater waiting to see the newest Harry Potter flick?? I never saw the correlation between Harry Potter and pot. Except the obvious play on words in regards to his last name, of course.
