My secret love affair

I am in deep trouble with this new obsession. I know I shouldn't but I can't stop. Sigh.

I can't let you think that I'm addicted to MAC so to prove that I spread the love, here's what else I bought during one of my I-forgot-to-take-my-medication moments:


Top: Orgasm blush, bottom: Laguna bronzer

Burt's Bees lip balm, Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense

No, I don't know how much I spent. I don't want to think about how much I spent. The key is to close your eyes while handing the cashier your card. See no evil. Am I right?

I still have so much to buy! I want to have a "complete" neutral palette. Once I have that, I think I can stop going crazy at the MAC counter. So many products, so many brushes...

Also, some random pics when we went to Elizabeth, NJ:













I really need to buy a good camera so I can post better pics here. Sigh.

Wish I had an easy button

It sure feels like the longest winter ever.

EVER.







And I am sick again. I have been coughing so bad that my back hurts every time I cough. My throat feels like it's scraped raw and I swear I taste blood with every cough.

Speaking of taste, I recently tried Good Burger's Crabby Patty just for the heck of it.









I was expecting something a little more solid? Packed? You know, something more like a big juicy meaty burger? Which is probably not a good idea since it's "a golden brown Maryland crab cake topped with organic greens, tomato and a homemade rémoulade tartar sauce". In short, it's a crab cake with salad.

I'm not saying that it's not good, it's just that I had the wrong expectations. It's good as far as crab cakes go. You can see real crab meat and very little (if any) extenders. You know how some crab cakes have more flour or onion in them? Yeah, this one has like 99% crab meat.

Will I have it again? No. Honestly, the only reason I got it is because Bob treated us to lunch. ;-p

Also, the only pics Anna Marie would let me post (without me fearing for my life) from her visit two weeks ago:





It wasn't too cold that day, it was raining and I promised to treat her to frozen yogurt. Where else but at Pinkberry! Love eeet!

They say the toppings you choose say a lot about you as a person:

strawberry - sweet, tart, juicy (Anna Marie)
mango - sweet, tart, juicy (me)

Amazing huh? Tell me what your favorite topping is and I will tell you who you are. Believe, my children! Believe!

Hey, I'm just making this shit up. LOL.

So yeah, not much has happened in the past weeks and I'm just so exhausted coming home from work that I don't update as regularly. But hopefully, I get to do it on the weekends since I don't have laundry duty for two weeks. :-)
