Damn, it looks like a bunch of my coworkers took off early anyway. Heh.
Maybe I will leave a little early, then. And make PIE.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wonderful news on the job, msbelle! $$!
Scrappy, yay for Chet! My friends have a labradoodle, and she's the sweetest, most laid-back doggie ever.
Do people here have deliberate face care routines? Like, more than "this is the convenient stuff I use on my face", and more like "this is the stuff that makes me look like this--anything else I've tried makes me break out/greasy/dry/whatever"?
I sometimes remember to wash my face at night. If I wear makeup I take it off with a soft cloth and sweet almond oil. Once I get an appt with a new dermatologist I'll have a new script for Retin-A, and then I will get into a routine of washing and moisturing my face at night before I put on the Retin-A. I don't have a One True Product, but I do like Olay and Source Naturals. I like using coconut and jojoba oils, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I randomly put on mascara at Sephora, so now I have to remember to take it off. Or look like a crazy person tomorrow, but I guess no one would notice. Luckily, I have a big free container of eye makeup remover...
Many, many guys on OKC list The Wire as one of their favorite shows.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, some of you guys are women. If a first date mentioned The Wire, would that be a turnoff. If so, why? And note, it wasn't specified what they said about the show. All he specified was "a boy talked about The Wire on a date".
Maybe the problem is that ladies are on dates with boys? I can't work it out.

Unrelated to that triteness, my mother is on her second week of a white blood cell count too low for chemo. I'm really trying to not think about it. Not winning.

I have used Alba Botanica facial cleanser in the evening and gentle exfoliant in the morning for years. And a Mario Badescu glycolic cleanser once a week (when I remember) and moisturize with Badescu's aloe moisturizer and whatever Badescu eye cream I have a sample of (my friend carries Badescu at her makeup store so I get samples all the time). I don't use anything special for makeup removal, just regular cleanser.
I guess my face looks okay! Who knows?! I break out very rarely at least.

My immediate estimation of anyone who loves The Wire goes up about 120% from baseline.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pretty sure "mentions the Wire" is a bonus or qualifier or gold star or however you want to phrase it.

The first interaction I had with Bob was when he rsvped to our friends' baby shower, that I was co-hosting, saying that he'd be coming "dressed as Omar."
