A random mish-mash post because being coherent and cohesive is overrated.

On our Memorial Day road trip, I was horrified by the number of people I saw texting while driving.  And I don’t just mean teens.  People of all ages were doing it.  If you want to put the whole “survival of the fittest” theory to the test, can you do it somewhere that won’t result in you taking several families out in your blaze of glory?

Between the texters and the truck drivers** who seemed to think that we were in their office so if we don’t want to get hit we should just stay out of their way and my husband who doesn’t believe in the principles of defensive driving, I was a nervous wreck.  I wish people appreciated that they have a lot of lives in their hands every time they get behind the wheel.  Nothing makes me angier than someone endangering my children because they are being careless.

**I’m not condeming all truck drivers – most are good drivers doing a job…but the ones who are wreckless are frightening.

I don’t pluck my eyebrows often for the same reason I don’t get tattoos – it hurts.  I don’t like pain.  (Because seriously, I’m going to pay someone to repeatedly stab my skin with a needle?  That seems like something I would pay someone to stop doing.  And I’m not talking pay them a couple of bucks – tattoos are expensive.  The people who tell you that they don’t hurt are lying.  Some people just think the pain is worth it.)  Anywho, back to my eyebrows.  I don’t do them often but the impulse hits at bizarre times.  Usually when I really don’t have time to be doing it so I get one finished and then realize I don’t have time to do the other.  Not a good look.

I ordered a few things from e.l.f. and was happy with my purchases. You can’t beat the prices – many items are just a buck.  I am really happy with the nail polish to make my toes look pretty in my summer sandals.  But what I liked best was the mineral glow.  In my continuing efforts to be frugal, I haven’t replaced my Bare Essentuals Mineral Veil.  It hurt to spend $19 on it.  But the shimmer mineral glow from e.l.f. for $8 is a very satisfactory substitute.

I will warn you that if you order from them, your inbox will be flooded with offers from them.  They email me at least once a day sometimes 3 or 4.  I was joking last week that I felt like they were stalking me. But the sales are pretty tempting – lots of 50% or free items when you buy.

A little Sabrina cuteness.  We made brownies last week when Steve was out of town.  She thought it was fabulous.

Tessa started pulling up yesterday (I know!) and Sabrina is so excited that Tessa is getting more fun to play with.  She kept asking Tessa yesterday to play hide and seek with her.  It was incredibly cute.
