Some NEW stuff

Good morning!

I said yesterday I had some "stuff" to share.  Here you go:

Based on a recommendation by an Instagram -- I don't know what to call her -- blogger, lifestyle guru -- this is a matte lip stain.  It works well.  Absolutely has some stay-on power.  My thought was to use this as a base stain and put my lip gloss on top.  Apparently, that's a no-go.  As soon as the lip gloss goes on, it mixes with the stain and both wear off as per the usual.  The color on the left is Timeless and the right is Steady.  Not my thing, but I'll use them occasionally.

Also, thanks to a blogger (runs for cookies), I ordered Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers.  Microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.  Leak proof and you can see your food.  My plastic containers needed some refreshing.  I've washed them, but haven't used them yet.

Here's a look at the sizes.  I ordered the 14 piece set on Amazon (smile - to get the Releash credit!!)

Update on The Sinner.  I had to buy the episodes on Amazon, but I'm caught up to what should record tonight (USA maybe??).  Anyway, I'm vested in knowing what happens, but it is DISTURBING!!  I have really thick skin about a lot of stuff, but there was one scene I watched yesterday -- yuck -- still makes my skin crawl.  It's not for the faint of heart.  Be warned.

I listened to just a few minutes of the Hoda show on the radio Monday.  She was talking about one of the best things she does is journal.  She writes in actual journals, not online.  Thought that was interesting.  Anyway, she talked about writing letters to your future self.  I missed part of the conversation as I ran into a store, so I don't know the background.  But it got me thinking -- how fun is that!!  A letter to myself 10 years from now or for a milestone birthday.  I'm going to do it.  And I'm going to recruit my best friend too.  Maybe a letter to me and a letter to her.  Stay tuned ...

I did the dumbest thing yesterday.  Remember how I said my brain turns off sometimes - it did yesterday morning.  I ran upstairs, my mind going 20 directions.  I grabbed the mouthwash and took a huge swig and swallowed it.  Not enough to kill me (I checked lol).  But OMG esophagus burn followed by 2 hours of heaving.  No stomachache per say, just pain and heaving.  I never threw-up.  I actually ate some food to try and mix with the mouthwash.  I almost missed my lift class.  It bothered me all the way until the evening.  Good lord.  Now the thought of mouthwash gives me the willies.

On a final note, my friend send a picture from Colorado - it's my pup's twin (me and spellcheck can't figure out the hip word doppleganger-something).

Cute car!

No update last night on Gigi.  I'm giving them some space.  Today is a friend over to watch a movie (probably Price and Prejudice - I've never seen it).  Some errands since I never made it to the grocery store.  Mouthwash swigging took me down.  I have some new recipes to try this week too.

Here's a cliff-hanger teaser ... tomorrow is a VERY SPECIAL DAY ... and I almost forgot!!  Are you hooked?  Later gators!
