How do you present yourself?

I'm tired of putting on makeup and fixing my hair. How bout you?

When I started applying makeup, I couldn't go out in public without it. I felt naked.

After having my third child, I quit fixing myself up for daily activities. That lasted about a year or two.

Now-a-days I have vitiligo (white patches) and heavy under eye circles. I have to use cover up to go out in public or I look like a freak. For work and going out to something special I apply more, but most of the time it's just the cover up and my glasses.

Have you changed your makeup habits?

You gotta have friends

Anything you have to do is always easier if you can do it with a friend. When you can talk and work at the same time, it goes by much faster and isn't as much of a chore.

Here is a list of things that would be more fun with a friend:

• paint a room
• put together a piece of furniture
• tedious cleaning (blinds, cabinets)
• exercise!
• scrapbooking
• waiting in line for anything

Unfortunately it is hard to match up our schedules to find time to do these things!

little hackers

Does anyone remember taking typing? in high school? on a typewriter?!

I subbed for a 5th grade technology class today. 5th grade! Not only are they on the computers "keyboarding," practicing math and playing logic games, some of them look for ways to hack the games. I don't think they are actually doing the hacking but they search for ways to beat the games.

Why is it cool to be bad? What are we teaching them?
