Letting my Babay kiss this mouth (and other things) is what got me in this mess in the first place 😉

Mrs. HFUN has asked me several times jokingly about why I have been sitting at home instead of out on a date when I’ve talked to her. Someday I’ll get back out there, but the thought of it makes me want to throw up right now. I know she means well, I really do but even so, ugh.

Thank you all, but my back just hurts. A lot sometimes, but nothing like the tragedy of Sticks and of Taters, or the difficulties of Rosie, The Cute One, with her house.

Define dangerous; mixing noxious household [cleaners](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=669359)? Or something more _interesting_? 😉

Both the hubby and I were up at 5:30 this morning. I couldn’t sleep and neither could he.

I spent most of the afternoon and part of the evening with my Dad at the hospital yesterday.

Today, we have car things to attend to, along with a couple of other errands. Tomorrow, we’ll head back down to the hospital.

[quote=“Noone\_Special, post:148, topic:637745”]

**Spaz**!! My favorite MMP readhead\* 😃 How _you_ doin’?

[QUOTE]

I’ve gone back to au naturel. It’s only red when the light hits it right. However, I have recently started getting serious about makeup. I can apply eyeshadow correctly now (even Bare Minerals with a _brush_! _Fancy_!) and, thanks to Blonde CoWorker, I now have some _for-reals_ lipstick. I am even wearing mascara today due to the aforementioned Bare Minerals which leaves dust all over my eyelashes. And the bathroom counter and sink, but tonight is cleaning night.

This is my limit, though. I don’t want to look like the parade of Painted Ladies of a Certain Income Level that passed by the desk this morning. If you can’t have an expression on your face without your foundation cracking, it is time to cut back a bit.

Good morning, all!! We were up late watching Men In Black, so we kinda slept in till some time after 7. We’ve been to breakfast and did a few chores. Shortly, I’ll be going into my studio for a while and \*\*FCD \*\*plans to work in his shop this afternoon. Sometime this weekend, we’ll do laundry, make a trash/recycling run, and run the mowers. I’d also like to wash the windows… correction, I’d like the windows to become magically clean, but since they won’t, I may try to clean them myself.

It’s a loverly fall day and I’ve got the house open - huzzah for fresh air!!

\*\*Tao \*\*(and anyone else who cares) - if you use the Character Map on your magical intrarwebz machine, you can get all of the fancy accents and other symbols like these: £ © ǎ ʥ Њ ت ↔ ☼ ♫

Happy Saturday!

Husband has to work today (not normal for him to have to go in on Saturday), two hours earlier than usual, and he’s not feeling well on top of that, but we really need the money. ☹

Not sure what I’m doing today, Saturday not being a great day for job-hunting-type activities.
