Actually a while ago, but I'm behind on my posts....
From a dear enabling friend [wave]:
– the special edition Bonne Bell lipsmackers! Surprisingly, I'm loving the
root beer one much more than the Orange Crush one. The orange has an
artificial scent that tickles my nose slightly unpleasantly. (But don't
feel turned off by my review –– I know that I'm much more sensitive to the
Bonne Bell scents than the average a.fer.)
– a book titled "Retail Therapy". It's basically a bunch of anecdotal
stories of shopping. Each story is concluded by how that particular
anecdote applies to daily life. Surprisingly, one of the stories –– about
how we should support small local shops –– struck home. Thus, I've made a
resolution to stop eating at chain restaurants and frequent the standalone
unique places.
From zodee.com:
– oodles of pnaties.
– a magnet shaped like my pnaties. I was very amused and stuck it on the
fridge, which in turn bemused/befuddled DH. He just finds the magnet kind
of odd.
From in–laws & DH:
– one of the new ipods! This thing is fabulous. I'm already getting hours
per day of mileage from it at work. The funny thing is that DH hid it in my
car trunk and paged me during the day, telling me to look in the trunk. I
took one look at the wrapped box and squealed, "ooo, an ipod!" I didn't
unwrap the gift so that DH could watch me unwrap it. When I got home with
the unwrapped box, DH was astonished that I knew what the gift was and
accused me of secretly being a bigger MacHead than he is. :D I just
replied that I'm a design/packaging ho.
All in all, a fabulous bday. :)

Not everyone has a pnaty–shaped magnet. it on the fridge, which in turn bemused/befuddled DH.

IMHO, a pnaty–shaped magnet is NOT nearly as odd as the stained glass in my internists' office.

only slightly OT, in that it's "makeup," but not beauty makeup:
*two types of 99% alcohol, for my tattoo ink makeup
*liquid latex for stippling out bald cap edges, and for creating wrinkles
*rigid collodian, for creating fake scars (and I can color it with
tattoo inks!)
fun stuff.
