LIP LOVIN'

Okay girls, let's talk about lipstick! I realized a few days ago that I had a great and untamable urge to talk about lip products. The unfortunate part was that I realized this whilst texting a boy. And though he mmhmm'd and such, it was clear I was marketing to the wrong audience. So, a blog post is here!

Let me begin my lipstick story at the start! After begging since I was 5 years old, mom finally bought me a "beginner" lipstick last year.  Which basically means it was clear but it had just enough pink to convince me, it was legit! So legit that KJ used it when he was desperate for chap stick! At that point, I was feeling kind of messed up, so I went and bought a HOT pink one.

Now, I love me some hot pink but NOT ON MY LIPS. Because hot pink is good anywhere but there. And then I was terrified of lip products for almost 6 months, since looking like a clown is not really my style. (Well, not intentionally anyway...)

But! Lo and behold, the heavens opened and normal lipsticks fell out! The harps were playing the angels were singing, and I found the babies. And while new irrational fears have risen out of lipstick (I always get it all over my face. Thus, I have to pull the "casually checking the back of my ipod" since we all know that when in distress, ipods double as mirrors.)

Anway, thanks for chatting! Do you have anything to add? Lipsticks are one of God's gifts, are they not?

I like Bikes

I really honestly do. I just love them. My bike is adorable. I think I need to name it. BTW, I like naming things. I even name some of my outfits. But back to bikes. My bike is a lovely purple beach cruiser. Generally I'm not into purple, but occasionally I make exceptions. Purple is always trying to steal pinks place. But this is a really cool shade of purple, and I was okay with it. I even have a basket on my bike. I adore it. I wish my punk would fit in it. She's too big for it. Believe me, I tried it.

As for who patented the bike, I'm not sure. But I really do appreciate whoever did. I would love to be riding my bike in celebration of today's holiday. But unfortunately I can't. I'm probably going to dream about it tonight.

Tennis Shoe day update:
I had a wonderful time at the pot-luck and at the King and I. I observed that here Tennis shoes are the latest style and worn by many. I saw no Converse, and I was sad. I was alone.

Good news! I finally found my kite. It was in a box. It has this handy little clip on it so I can clip it to my purse. That way if I'm out and about and have the sudden urge to fly a kite, my kite will be right there. I'm guessing I won't ever need to fly my kite on the go. I'll keep my kite stationary.

I'm also christening today "Finish a book day" because I need to do just that. I'm terrible with books. I am reading about 6 right now. I need to finish some. The reason is that I usually forget my place in the book. So rather than trying to find my place I just start a new one. A very bad habit.
