Blushes and confessions

Do you ever want to save the world another day, and get all dressed up today instead?

Last night we treated ourselves to a few little indulgences, like dinner out, a new video game for S, and a trip to Sephora for me. I was so excited to find "Rosebud Salve" - produced in my awesome home state and apparently popular the nation over - and two little fancy products, a small palette and what I searched the store high and low for, some gel eyeliner. (I actually bought this for a practical reason - my eyes get really sensitive to makeup during springtime allergy season, so I needed a high quality liner that could be applied with as few sticking-myself-in-the-eye qualities as possible. Pencils require poking, and liquids are too risky - one false move, and there's liner in my itchy, red, pathetic allergy eye. Waterproof gel is the perfect solution, an I have been liking it a lot so far.)

After we got back home, I was so pleased to find my Glamour magazine, which I subscribe to for free with  my airline points - woot woot! - ready to inspire me with fluff and glitter and spice and everything nice, to go along with my make up and my need to relax this weekend. I took the magazine to the gym and poured over the glossy ads and silly stories on the eliptical, not caring that my super-serious gym rat buddy for the night probably thought I was a athletic light-weight. I admit, I used to think that about some of the people in college who would read a magazine on the eliptical for 20 minutes in the ahtletic center and call it a work out while the rest of us put in real time on the track/treadmill/with weights.

Well, I stayed on the eliptical for a whole 40 minutes, so I guess I deserve to be judged half as much? A quarter as much, for working out longer, but then going home and lying in bed to read the rest of the magazine in total veg mode?

Anywho, I learned that coral as a color is "in" this season, that new shiny things never cease to make me happy, and that sometimes it's okay to be judged, be lazy, and be happy about having a carefree weekend ahead!
