21/08/2006 Crystal TimeCrystal Time Is Here!
I finally pampered myself this weekend. I was in such good spirits that I did the works: hair, makeup, pedicure, and manicure. I purchased pretty little bath beads...and tons of scentful Victoria's Secret gels, lotions sprays and shampoos. I chose my old time favorites "Strawberries and Champagne", "Pear Glace" and "So Sexy". My favorite blusher, aside from Benetint, is Estee Lauder's "Blush All Day in Pink Sand"; I picked up one of those too. Who can forget the wonderful products from C.O. Bigelow? The all time best salve out there is "Smith's Rosebud Salve" It is old fashioned and reminds me of my grandmother. I also picked up the Mentha Lip Tints in Pink. It is supposed to give your lips a soft gloss while keeping your breath fresh...I knew I had to try it! I also broke down and bought Proactiv! I know...no one likes to talk about bad skin...but my dermatologist recommends this stuff...and I've been using it for about ten years. It works wonderfully...but has that familiar smell of sulfur. Yuck! I guess it is vain to go on and on about what I bought for myself...but I never pamper myself...and yesterday was the day of days! Enough...I'm making myself sick thinking about the pure vanity!
 Big NewsI found out the best news ever today! It has to be kept a secret though...which is killing me. I am so overjoyed!
 15/08/2006 North Carolina SurnamesIt feels like time for a roll call! My direct ancestors from the North Carolina counties of Alamance, Chatham, Guilford, Montgomery and Randolph include the below surnames:
Baby BoomBabies are EVERYWHERE! I have three showers to go to just this month...and my mother has two!
I was the first one to get married...but will probably be the last to actually spit out a little bundle of pooping...spitting...burping joy! Two beautiful smiling little girls and one handsome kissable little boy...I honestly cannot wait until the beach trip next month to see the little munchkins...but it will be nice knowing that I get to come home to sleeping nights and free weekends. Call me selfish...no...maybe I'm just immature. I'll admit...when the time comes...it will probably be a surprise...but I will be extremely excited. Until then...hello freedom!
More RenovationPainting...painting...painting...I love to paint!
After much thought...I finally chose a color for my office. It is a slightly earthy gray color titled Creek Bend by Behr. The room will have white trim...black furniture...and of course...new flooring. YEAH! Here is a quick picture. The room is far from complete...as you can tell. I have pushed some of the things from the kitchen into this room while it is being painted...but you can at least get the idea.
Photo TimeOops...I dropped my camera...time for a new one! It is not typical of me to make a purchase without a little research...so after shopping at the one and only mighty store of stores...TARGET...it was surprising that I bought a new camera on my lunch break. I decided that I needed a basic camera for taking to my many cemetery stops and keeping with me at all times. With that being said...I didn't want to pay big bucks for something that was going to sit in the hot sun day after day and eventually get stolen. I chose the Sony Cyber-Short S600...mainly because of the low price. It was only $200...takes 6 megapixels...holds 32MB without the memory...can easily use the 1G memory stick I bought...uses batteries instead of a battery pack...and captures motion. High quality isn't necessarily needed for headstone pictures anyway...so I'm very pleased with the quality for the price.
