Robert Downey Jr.

was great on The Late Late Show. Glad I stayed up. Now I really need to sleep as I have to get up at 7:30am. Currently waiting for my nails to dry. I won a contest and got this big makeup bag full of goodies. The color I have on is sort of irridescent periwinkle. The brand is Sparitual which is supposed to be the "healthy" type of polish. I hope it lasts well. There was also a sticky basecoat and quickdry topcoat. I so rarely use base or topcoat, it would be awesome if I could get my nails to last longer between manicures.

Sigh, my Pilot is making a bit of a squeal when I turn the wheel to the right. I think I'll wait and get my dad's opinion Monday. Don't want to run off to the garage if its not necessary.
Had my cell off all day so I missed talking to our friend Laurie, but she did send a text inviting us to a party tomorrow night. I hope we can go. If my pain is bad I won't make it, but if I can keep it at bay all day then we should be ok. PLUS, we'll stop at Five Guys on the way (which makes Glen SUPER happy). Laurie has a pingpong table that always turns parties into crazy games. Plus she has awesome cats and is pretty nice/fun/great herself. yep, we need to get there. It's also a bit far, but I don't mind driving.
We desperately needed groceries so we went to Super Target. The bag I was ogling weeks ago was marked down from $45 to a little less than $8.00!!! Woot! It's really big so I need to be careful not to stuff it, but it's so cool - I Loveit!! And it matches a pair of gladiator sandals I have. Speaking of sandals I also started looking at the Cynthia Vincent sandals but I know I have 4 pairs of sandals on their way to me so I had to walk away. Also looked at some amazing dresses but really wasn't in the mood to try on.

Mother's Day was nice. I picked my Mom up (and then my crazy aunt) and we went shopping and out to lunch. I bought 3 pairs of jeans (trying to quell my itch to pick up some Seven jeans) really cheap. The restaraunt we went to was really good. They gave us all small boxes of hand dipped truffles at the end of our meal. But, since I have a hard time eating much I had pretty much all my meal packed to go. Then i forgot to take it. d'oh! Anyway, I didn't realize til I drove my aunt and Mom home. Then i was driving back, feeling mad at myself, so I stopped in the restaurant on a whim. I guess I thought since the container obviously held an entire meal our waittress may have put it aside. Well, she didn't but before I could say "well, thanks anyway" the manager ran off and made me a whole new dinner. Woot! they just one a very faithful customer. I was just blown away. You don't see good customer service anymore, ya know?

I pay these people?

Finally made it to the allergist (a week late). Used my new phone instead of my Zune and was thoroughly entertained for the half hour I had to wait. Do you know how many times I listened to Bree Sharp sing "David Duchovny"??? I really want to use a clip of that as my ringtone. When I went back in to have my injection sites checked the nurse gave me a bag full of Advair samples. Woot! Even with insurance they're $45 each - so free is good :O) As I told Glen "I made money by going to the allergist" (ya know, cause I saved the $$$)

Called the surgeon's office to see if they would squeeze me in early and they said to come over. That worked out cause my allergist was right next door. For some reason, the surgeon who I've liked up til now seemed kinda cranky. Oh well, that was the last of the injection series so I won't have to go back for 6 mths.

Pretty much immediately, the pain started in my knee and went down to my foot. So, I didn't make it to the beauty supply store. I did really want to pick up some Argan oil. I hear you can get a little bottle for $1.95. It's a good way to try it cause I don't want to invest in the big bottle if I don't think it'll work on my hair. I do use Ojon on my hair (which works beautifully) but it is terribly expensive. Maybe the Argan oil will be a good replacement?

Earlier in the day I picked up some Glucosamine Chondroitin for my Mom. CVS had it BOGO and I had already gotten some for myself (I'll try anything to stop the pain). They also had BOGO for Revlon so I picked up the baked mineralized Brighten and Bronzer. I have the Brighten - which I LOVE and she was about to replace her Laura Geller bronzer (which is $35!) so I bought her these which I HEAR are the exact dupes for Laura Geller's.

Came home and found out that Glen had skipped his job loss support group. That, combined with the pain and PMS made me quite bitchy. Muscle relaxers did knock me out for awhile and Glen has been VERY UNDERSTANDING. He even went to get me cookies to "help the PMS". Sweet...

We did tackle organizing the closet further which entailed MUCH vacuuming (which is horrible for my allergies and asthma) and throwing away shoes (gasp!). But, the closet does look great. Tomorrow I hope to tackle moving the furniture and setting up my vanity.

obviously I have a problem..

up too late

I really wish my body could adjust to a schedule. A schedule that allowed me to be a part of the REAL world. Sure, it's pretty normal for an artist to be up all night, but it sucks that I have such a hard time getting things done during the day. Tomorrow (today). Friday - whatever - I have to go get my allergy shots. I hate doing it cause it's not a quick thing. After you get the shots you have to hang out to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. The waiting room is always full of loud sneezey kids. Ewwww... I don't touch the magazines, I bring my Zune and a book. After that I need to go get the 3rd Euflexxa shot it my knee. Although I definately improve after them it does hurt for a day or 2 after. But then I don't get any more for 6 mths. woot!
Of course my appts. aren't scheduled together so I need to find something to do with myself that won't entail shopping. If I can possibly go home inbetween I will. Cause then Glen can come with me, we'll get lunch and after I get my knee injection he can drive (while I whine).

Playing with my new phone, filling it up with music. I was excited to shoot video with it (and I have) but I can't DO anything with the video now. I guess I need to use Quicktime, but something isn't right. Plus, how will i edit it if I can't use Windows movie maker? Grrr...
About the SCHEDULE. I really want to implement "work hrs" during the day where I sit down at my drafting table or easel and just work. Waiting for "inspiration" is just a cop out. Showing up is the key. I don't expect 8 hr days, maybe 10-1 and 3-6? If I just had a coach to whip me into shape.
