CVS Haul: New Lip Products

Well, they aren't new...they are just new to me.  CVS was having some good deals so I couldn't pass them up.  I purchased the following with a Wet 'N Wild $1 coupon from the Sunday ads, Revlon $1 coupon from the Sunday ads, $3 off $15 makeup CVS coupon. CVS was having a Buy 2, Get 1 Free Wet 'N Wild product and Buy $10 Revlon, Get $3 Extra Care Bucks.  Whew.

2 Revlon Matte Balms in Showy and Unapologetic
3 Wet 'N Wild Megelast Lipsticks in Wine Room, Stoplight Red and Sugar Plum Fairy
Milani Anti-Feathering Lipliner

I did my Mother's Day duty this morning before my CVS trip to deliver flowers to my mom and my aunt. :)

Julie came by for dinner (Pacci's) and we watched Mean Girls.  I can't believe that movie is 10 years old now.  That's just crazy.  We still laughed at the same jokes, even though we've heard them a billion times.

On Wednesdays, we wear pink.

New Nails

Hooray for Friday!  After spin class this morning, I decided to take off the Sally Hansen Lightening polish I had on and replace it with 2 coats of Orly's Lollipop.  What a totally spring-y color!

Office Field Trip to Nationals Park

Somehow Human Resources was able to score some tickets to the Washington Nationals and LA Dodgers game today at 1:00 PM.  I showed up to work and did a few hours, and then before I knew it, it was time to leave for the game.  Best work day ever!

The tricky thing was that it was raining and I forgot my umbrella.  Fortunately, the Office Depot next door had ones for sale, so I am now the owner of a hot pink umbrella (which goes with my neon green umbrella at home).  3 of my coworkers and I Metroed down to Nationals Park and found other coworkers that were there.  There was a rain delay so to keep us entertained, we went to find food.  The tickets that we got came with $15 you could buy food or merchendise with.  I went with chicken tenders, fries, and a bottle of water for $14.50.  I just squeeked by!  I saw Robyn and Pat there playing hooky, so that was a funny surprise.  Finally, about 1.5 hours later, the game started.  I didn't stay too long because I wanted to go to the gym before it got crowded with the after-work bunch.  13,000 steps today, whoo hoo!

Protest at the Office

During the staff meeting today, the director of contracts alerted the chief operating officer that there was a protest going on outside our building. There was a police presence, complete with cop cars and cops with motorcycles. The main road went from three lanes to two lanes, jamming up traffic. They had to shut the elevators down and the only way we could exit the building was through the stairs. This way would prevent the protesters from coming into the building as much as possible. 

My coworker Jennifer and I had to go down 7 flights of stairs to the ground floor, cross the street to another garage, go up on the elevator to the floor that has a bridge that leads back to our building so we could access our cars to go home.  SIGH.

It made for an interesting afternoon though.  Lots of us were laughing because the sign that the protesters had a misspelled word.  Too bad they forgot to spell check!

Friend's Housewarming Party

Talk about a blast from the past...

Last week, I got a Facebook invitation to a housewarming party.  The interesting thing about this is that this person was someone that I went to high school, but haven't seen her since then. I only know what she's been up to these days because of Facebook. Anyway, I debated whether or not I should go.  On one hand, was this going to be awkward since a lot of time has passed since we've seen each other?  On the other hand, I felt compelled to attend and congratulate her in a gesture of solidarity.  She's also a single, unmarried woman without kids and I was in the same situation (well, still am...) when I bought my place almost 3 years ago.  I wanted to give her a big hug and basically tell her, "You go, girl!"  I was also very curious to see what her place looked like. 

She was able to lock down on a studio aparmement and to make it a place of her own, she painted over the eggshell walls with a coat of lavendar paint.

Ah, homeownership. :)

Ah, Saturday

Yay, weekend!  First order of business, need some groceries (check!).  While I was there, I bought a box of hair dye because I'm well overdue.  The Annual Meeting is coming up and the greys will not be following me to Little Rock.  I'm trying out this Loreal Feria in Starry Night.  Catchy name, but let's get real.  It's black.

I came home to drop them off and eat some lunch and the I headed out to Target for some flip flops.  I bought some a few weeks ago and before I could wear them anywhere, RJ had chewed up some of the rhinestones off the straps.  Sigh.  I saw that there was a 20% off coupon on the Cartwheel app.  I found some plain black ones, thankfully!

I came home and basically vegged the rest of the afternoon on the couch.  I played with makeup a little bit by dressing up what eye makeup I already had on when I went out.  One of these days, I'll have the guts to wear a red lip out.

I've been on a Fast and the Furious kick lately.  Well, if you can call 2 movies back to back a kick.  I watched Fast 5 on television last night on a whim and then since Redbox had a 75 cent promo code, I watched Fast and the Furious 6.  You never know with sequels, but both movies were pretty good.  Paul Walker, sigh.

A Cheerful Face

I went for a walk today after dinner to get some Fitbit steps in and on the way home, I passed a church where the dads were spray the sidewalk to kill the weeds and the kids were playing around.  One of the little boys gave me a big smile and I couldn't help but smile and wave back.  I could hear "Daddy!  I said hi to that lady!" as I walked by.  That made me smile on the inside, how cute!

That's kinda what I needed.

The weather was really dreary earlier this week.  Work has been slightly stressful. 

I was just in a general funk, but I think my mood has lifted with that cheerful exchange.
