Blather blather
Mar. 9th, 2016 03:20 pmI stayed up way too long yesterday, but I had stuff to do. Lost an hour to the Kindle and cat, then I called AG and got the ball rolling on new!Lea. I'm not sure how I lost another hour or so after that, but it was probably email and updating here and webcomic rollcall. Then I started my Fosters episode only to think, about halfway through, I should probably at least look at my brother's taxes since my mother has been hinting horribly the last week or so.
Which killed another two hours. Dude, I dunno all these answers and I couldn't figure out how he wound up owing so much until, after I finally threw in the towel and convinced Mums to do a lunch run, she told me that a) his job was being sued for not offering health insurance and b) he'd stopped having taxes taken out of his check. Why? Heck if I know. But I'd think that the former problem might mean maybe have someone semi qualified at least answer your questions? Maybe call our oldest cousin who does this for a living? The problem isn't necessarily with the state stuff, so it's kind of a universal question, y'know? I should remember to have Mom pass that along.
Anyway, the day slipped away as they do. And apparently by the time I fell asleep, I was so tired that I held an entire conversation with Widget and have no memory of it. So my dinner and I did not meet until recently. It's almost 6am, btw.
My Birchbox came yesterday and included was an eyeliner with no lid. So I was ticked. For ages, actually. Until this morning when I looked it up again and realized that it has a lid. That looks like a regular pencil, so what I was seeing was the lid. Duh. In general, though, I'm actually kind of excited about the contents of this box. May it work out better than last month's where the lipstick went everywhere on me (woe!), the nail polish chipped in record time (double woe!) and I don't think I tried anything else yet. I need to be better about that, but in my defense, the ick did prevent most things. I don't get people who put makeup on when they're sick. You're just contaminating perfectly good makeup. Why? I get weirded out enough when I realize that my chapstick is likely infected and thus it must get chucked, why would you go all in with eye makeup or something? Geez.
What else? Oh yeah. My Target order arrived and I'd completely forgotten about it (see what three days of work will do to a brain?) so huzzah! I gave up on my store EVER getting the TriCastleOn set, so when it went on sale again online, I snagged. Their free shipping didn't hurt. Must have all the Lizzies, you know. I'd say the same for Cerise but that SDCC exclusive killed that plan. So I also inadvertently have all the Hunters, too. :P
Hrmm. Oh! Scentsy side: I should really try out the Moonstone warmer I snagged for halfsies. I have tried both Whiteout and Snowberry and I have opinions.
Whiteout is definitely too light to use in a big room, so I'm going to try it in my vanity next. Or the downstairs bathroom, maybe. It never really took off in the living room. Snowberry is a little stronger but not in a big way, so we'll also give that one a whirl elsewhere. They can't all be super scented to the max. Sometimes you do want subtle. I'm trying to decide if I go with the onslaught of Spring and try something in that vein or if I stubbornly cling to it being winter and try the Toffee Butter Crunch. Decisions!
Oh, and I need new soap for the bathroom. Gimme a sale, B&BW. Gimme a sale. Not that I'd know what a good sale is on those since I tend to buy... whenever. But I ran through my Black Cherry Merlot and I need MORE.
Still dragging my feet on the newest Hannah book. I just have a lot of feelings about weird love triangle solutions, I guess.
( Spoilers for the series. )
Annnnnnnd hours later, I've cleaned out the vanity area and set up Moonstone. Stupidly pretty!
