To Swap or Not To Swap.....

For the past few months I've been frequenting a pretty cool makeup site called makeupalley.com. A part of the site allows for members to swap makeup back and forth. Which is great in theory. I almost decided to do this, and then I thought better of it. Of course everyone is supposed to sanitize the makeup before sending out for a swap, and all should do it before using something received from a swap, but this still kinda creeps me out. I don't even like to eat at buffet restaurants, why in the world would I use a lipstick that some stranger had their mouth on? It would be cool to try different products, but I just can't get over the ick factor. Am I weird? Does anyone else find the whole thing a little unsavory? Other than that, I absolutely love that site. It's really informative and a great place to find out about new products before a purchase. I really recommend anyone else whom really likes makeup to check it out.

To continue on the makeup theme of this post, I decided to post a pic of the color wheel in case anyone is interested. I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday evening at home.

Long time no blogging!

I have taken a short leave from blogger recently because I've had a lot of stuff going on with my health and just with personal things. I'm going to try to get back into the habit of it because I do miss it!

Christmas is just about a week away and I'm glad to report that my shopping is done. I did all of my shopping online this year. I think the boys are going to be very happy with what they are getting this year, even though the quantity is not as much as it has been in previous years. I just hope I feel somewhat "normal" again by Christmas. For about the past week I've been running a fever (among other symptoms) and have felt bad. I am pretty sure stress is causing some of it. My stress level is just through the roof. This time of year is hard on a lot of people, especially those of us who have loved ones who are no longer with us. I miss my Grandma everyday, but the holidays add extra sadness. The boys are the main reason I don't let it get me down too much. I want to make sure they have enjoyable memories of the holidays.

I feel a nap coming on, but I really need to get dinner in the crock pot first! Tonight it is beef stew in a red wine sauce and seasoned dumplings. I think the nap may win and we'll just be eating dinner a little later this evening! I hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying the holiday season!

Christmas is Coming!!!!

Well, I'm starting to get in the Christmas spirit. I got all my shopping done today online. I'm so grateful that I don't have to go out and fight the crowds! I absolutely do NOT like being in crowds, I'm kinda borderline claustrophobic I think. I was born to shop online however, LOL! I think this weekend we'll put the tree up and do some decorating. I got some new ornaments for the tree today, $9.99 for 76 of them at CVS. Pretty good deal I think. They are all gold and red. I'll post some pics when we get it up.

Haley Grace Morton was born this afternoon to my cousin Trisha. Welcome to world Haley!! I can't wait to meet you.

I've not been blogging much (hardly at all) lately. Things have been kinda crazy for me, I started on a new med and it's been rough getting adjusted to it. And with the holidays, stress over everything is never far behind. I am so thankful I got things taken care of early and now I can just sit back, relax and enjoy the holiday with my boys and husband.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
