Cost Plus World Market has this stuff called Christmas Crunch that is like crack. Caramel popcorn, chocolate covered nuts, and cinnamon-candy-coated cherries. OMG, soooo good!

I'm going to be making a batch of cocoa nib & pink peppercorn caramel corn. It is SO GOOD.

Oh, random anecdote! So yesterday I went to get the rescheduled FACE LASERS. Of course, I hadn't heard from them, so I called in the morning, and they were all "Oh, you're not on the schedule!" Oy. They squeezed me in for later in the day. I get there at the time they tell me, wait half an hour, finally ask WTF the deal is...they felt bad and gave me a $25 gift card. And eventually FACE LASERS.

While the lasering was going on, I asked what else they did (it was a groupon) and how much roughly it costs. And she starts saying how much more face lasers would be, or some peels...or botox is $13 a vial(tube? something). And I was like "I don't think I need botox" and she was all "Well, your forehead is smooth, I thought maybe you were already using it". I'm all "OMG HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM?!"

hwæt

Does this mean that your face can shoot lasers now? That is so cool!

Hah! That *would* be awesome, Tom. Lasers shot at my face (AT MY FAAAACE) is not quite as exciting. Though at least this time I did not cry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A lot of people have lines on their forehead by 30, meara! And you know the recommendation is to start with the botox before there are lines.... "recommendation"

I keep almost buying groupons for facials for no apparent reason -- I have had one facial in my life, and didn't care about it! At least I have gotten myself to hold out for one in my neighborhood.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I would use botox to erase the lines on my forehead, but I keep getting stuck on the part where it's a deadly poison and if the needle isn't in exactly the right place my face could be paralyzed forever. Then I think, maybe having expression lines is okay. I mean, I'm vain, but I'm also chickenshit.

I had the face laser twice - or, no, it was IPL, so, not really a laser, I guess - but I didn't see any difference. I was told I'd need to have it at least four times. But they were expensive, so I didn't.

Well, I have now had the IPL (LASER is in the name, Zen!) twice. I haven't really seen any difference, but the first time was like, six months ago. I bought two more on Groupon, so hopefully when I get those done, I'll be magically less pink.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like the experience of facials (someone rubbing my temples, etc.). But I seem to be allergic to a lot of the products used. My face tends to feel tight and itchy after. But I have tomorrow off and an hour and a half massage scheduled. I'm looking forward to that.
