Penny’s dad did bring a cupcake for me with a candle. 🙂

I don’t wear full makeup very often either. I do replace anything opened every six month though so’s i don’t smear bacteria all over my face, especially around the eyes.

I hope that Charm warms up well, **shoe**.

> Serious question, though: does makeup – like eyeshadow – ever “expire”?

Yes. Once it’s opened and used, there is bacteria in it that doesn’t age well. Especially important for eye makeup.

> When I worked as a nurse in Boston in an inner city public hospital I had a 28 year old grandmother in my NICU. She’d given birth at 14 and that daughter gave birth to premature twins at 14. I was 33 at the time and still hadn’t had my first child.

Good lord! Was she related to my cousin? (mom at 15, grandmother at 29, great grandmother at 44. She’s 2 years younger than I am and if her great granddaughter follows the family tradition, she’ll be a great great grandmother by the time she’s eligible for social security)

> **Oopsie** hope you get to see your friends today. My favorite Little Debbie’s snack is the Swiss rolls. I can’t buy a box of ‘em for fear of it turnin’ into a single servin’ container. I buy a little two pack when the cravin’ is strong.

I allow myself one Nutty Buddy when I go on a road trip. They aren’t allowed in my apartment.

Glad to have you back and OK **JtC**.

We both ate off the Salvadoran side of the menu today, except for dessert, which were some divine coffee cannoli. We split chicken empanadas for the starter and a pork pupusa. I had chuleta de cerdo and he had bistec encebllado. I’s stuffed.

Both Dad and Sis called and we talked a while, so that was a good visit.

I finished up a project in the studio this morning using some new geometrical dies and a buncha paper scraps to make [some](https://www.flickr.com/photos/198572763@N08/54249199880/in/dateposted-public/) [quilted](https://www.flickr.com/photos/198572763@N08/54249197815/in/dateposted-public/) [cards](https://www.flickr.com/photos/198572763@N08/54249005678/in/dateposted-public/) and scrapbook ephemera.

Now, I’m hunkered down, listening to the wind blow.
