fancy skin cream



for my whole life i looked young.
i was 12 and people though i was 6.
i was 18 and people though i was 12.
I was 25 and people though i was 18.
i HATED it!
and then, all of the sudden..

KAPOW!

i look my freaking age!
what is that about?
it's gross!

i have wrinkles and...
i swear...
an AGE SPOT!
ug.
i think i just puked up a little as i typed that!

i never really took care of my skin cause i never expected this to happen.
i mean...
i've been use freaking coppertone as my face cream for the last 20 years!
so...
now i'm all crazy freaked about being wrinkly.
and i want young, perfect, 18 year old skin.
i've started buying the garnier nutritioniste products cause SJP promotes them and she looks good...(as iF she's using them)
but do i NEED to shell out the bucks for schmancy creams and chemical peels?
i don't want another 5 years to go by...and look another 5 years older.

my outfit


ok. lemme explain.
i started with the tights.
i thought they'd be fun. a little color, a little flavor, whateve...
but i put them on with one dress and they didn't match.
so...
i tried this dress.
and it was cute...but i needed something underneath.
hello, one shoulder!
at first i had a black tank...and it looked good.
black shoes, funky tights, gray dress, black tank.
nice.
but i knew i'd be cold at work with just a tank...and i don't have a black shirt...and it was time for the girls to go to school...
so...
i threw on this red one.
i don't even know if i looked in the mirror before i left the house.
and i went to work and didn't think about it.
until my friend at work told me i reminded her of PUNKY BREWSTER!
i wasn't insulted. i LIVED for punky!
but...
it did make me go to the bathroom, check myself out in the full length mirror and THINK..
what the heck am i wearing?

be honest, what do you think of my outfit?
lay it on me!

birthday presents


for some reason i always thought you should spend about $30 bucks on a birthday gifts for your kid's friends.
i dunno why.
i dunno who gave me that number.
maybe i made it up!
and then one day i realized that my kids were getting $15 and $20 gifts for their birthdays.
so...
i decided to go with the flow and spend less cash per kid.
but i just went to a great birthday party where i spent about $15 on the gift and, well...
i felt cheap.
the party was so nice and cute and i felt so bad that lily's present was sorta lame.
i almost wanted to appologize for the crummy gift.
or buy something else and pretend that i forgot it at home.
but i didn't.

so...i'm wondering?

am i cheap? and i normal? what do you all do?

dessert


i give my kids dessert every single night.
we're not talking a large wedge of cake or a banana split.
i give them a cookie
or a handful of m and ms...
or a popsicle...
or a little dish of ice cream with sprinkles...
ya know, something small and sweet and delish!
and cause lily can't have refined sugar i do the "healthy" version of all of the above (newman os, sun drops, all fruit pops, etc...)
but...
i was testing out the boards at work the other day and i posted "do you give your kids dessert every night" and 25 out of 30 people said they did NOT?!
i was all, "huh?"
i thought EVERYONE gave their kids dessert?
maybe i just haven't been asking about it!
so...

am i the only one on the planet who gives their kids dessert every single night!? am i messing them up by doing so? here i was thinking i was underserving them sweets and maybe, gulp, i'm overserving them!?
