Day got Murried.

See cute couple here:

totally worth it.

Where manufacturers are going WRONG!! aka I'm gonna be a millionaire someday.

I recently succumbed to television advertising.  Yes, sometimes that crap works on me.  Most of the time it's just commercials for Olive Garden or the lure of a good bacon cheeseburger at Burger King.  But this time, it was makeup at the wallsmart.

Yes, this radiant, beautiful angelic face does not come to me naturally (I just make it look so easy dammit).

So I decided to pick up this "Instant Age Rewind" foundation and give it a go.  After all, who couldn't use a little age rewind. 

Let me say I LOVE THIS CRAP!

No, it's not because of the spf 18, it's radience, it's firming or not because it rewinds pretty much anything.  I still look pretty much the same except it's harder to see that blotch on my left cheek when you squint.  I would, however, love to age rewind back to 1987 and ask myself "WTF were you thinking!!" (and I'm not just talking about rolling my jeans at my ankles and backcombing my hair).

No, what I love about this stuff is it smells like cake batter.

really.

Which got me to thinking... that could really be an incentive for us short, fat, ugly women to put some makeup on our faces and spiff ourselves up.  Maybe make eyeliner smell like chocolate and blush smells like strawberry pop tarts too.

Contemplate on that for a moment... I'll wait.

OMG, I am so effing smart.  Why aren't I richer?

(I already have the beautiful part down pat)... haters gonna hate.

Now if we could just talk the deoderant manufacturers into making shaving cream smell like apple pie and mens' deoderant smell like bacon, the world would be a much better place.

How to make a munchkin omlet

We have just come out on the other side of our first molting season with the chickens. What this means is that the chickens will grow a new set of feathers, or part of their feathers. They might even get nearly nakie in the process (brrrrr). However, ours did not. Just your standard naked chicken backs.

In the process of growing a new set of feathers, the chickens have to save most of their energy for feathers, not much left over for eggs.  It was a frustrating couple months as our egg production went from 10-12 a day, down to 1-2 a day.  We almost lost our our egg clients!

So finally a few weeks ago, our daily egg count started to rise again, which is almost as egg-citing (har) as that first egg.  But kind of like that first egg that you'll get, sometimes a little weird one will pop up.

This time it was a super mini.

It was about 1/4 of the size of a regular egg, not much bigger than my thumb.  I felt confident there was no yolk in there.  Of course, I couldn't sell it to someone else, so we saved it until it was time to have Saturday morning breakfast.

Yep, no yolk.  Not much of a breakfast either.

Only a couple months until chicks show up!  Nope, we're not hatching our own this year (well, if they want to maybe).  We're going to buy chicks again to raise a new set!  Yay!

Boo chicken dust and chicken poop in the house.

10 Notable events

1. A little critter came to my house over the weekend.  There was much spoiling.

2. I have a cold.  I'd like to blame the usual type of carriers - critters (see above) but I think this one was all me.

3. I was going to enter a photo in an art exhibition at the museum we're members of, but, I'm a moron and thought today was the last day to enter - it wasn't.  It was Tuesday. :(

4. I'm currently on my "no meat" quest.  No, we're eating meat, I'm just shopping from my freezers.  I haven't bought ANY meat in about 3 weeks.  I could in theory make it probably 2 more weeks - but this means I'd have to eat salmon and I just don't think I can do it.

5. I'm avoiding a job I have to do - talk to my telephone company AND my cell phone company.  Every time I get on the phone with them to change services, I about pop an artery.

6. Did I mention I have a cold.  May I whine?

7. I may or may not have company this weekend and my guest room looks horrible.  I have a cold. I want to sleep.

8. I had an ice cream sandwich for lunch.

9. Maybe I should cave and buy some meat.

10. Grocery shopping today!

Lil' nugget picture

About a week ago I visited my sister and her new little one Talyah. Of course, I couldn't resist taking my equipment with me to get a few shots. We did ok for about 9 frames.

Really, just 9 frames.

Most of them look pretty much like this shot.

There's a reason why I don't do many newborns - I can't handle the stress. LOL.

I also know I can't handle 3 1/2 year old older sisters either.  God Bless my sister, the woman is an absolute saint.
