Are Moo Moo's And Boo Boo's Doomed?...Part 5

[StephyDee]

So I ran errands today and got a mani/pedi and eyebrow wax... I feel all pampered... I get the deep tissue massage in 2 weeks...

But I must say as I get older my eyebrows are getting lighter and lighter. Does anyone here use a brow pencil? I think I need to but just not sure how to use one the right way...

Warning: loads of attempting-teaching-banter ahead.

I have loads of makeup (twas an obsession not that long ago lol), and when I'd use brow pencils, I had a specific way of using it. It's like drawing class, because you need to make sure the pencil has a point, but it isn't too sharp. Then you draw the eyebrow hair on like a blade of grass in a sense, not just a straight line. That way it looks like a strand of hair rather than a line. Just, you know, don't get a brow pencil that's too dark or use too much pressure....then it'll look like you drew your entire brow in from nothing. That's not good.

You want it to look like this:

NOT this:

I don't know what you're talking about but I'd love to have my eyebrows look like they do in the second pic!

Hugs, Olga! Scotty and Sulu are the same way, at first.



Fingers and toes crossed that she gets the crazy neighbor award at the hearing!

I just love that you have cats called Scotty and Sulu! Yeah, I hope she comes off as crazy and we get approval.

Alison, this sounds like so much fun for you and Fran. would not want to be in your shoes..

So far it's just been waiting, I'm sure the day it comes will be nerve wracking.

Ugh. It got rejected and needs a new muffler

Sorry, I hate unexpected repairs.

Done!!! I bet cats are cheaper than dogs!

I'm not so sure about that. Our cats can be pretty expensive.

 

[TifffanyD]

Well at least cats won't eat 4 cups of food a day (per car). At least I hope LOL

And you can leave them overnight without boarding... Lucky!

 

[TifffanyD]

But anyways I meant the insurance on the cats was probably cheaper

That first pic, is how mine are looking. Just this last year the outsides of each are really blonde and almost going away.

I think I understand what you are saying. Draw each hair...

 

[bellanotte10]

I looked up that guy. How is he adorable?

His personality more than anything. I have a weird taste in men when it comes to hockey players. Look up the "I'm score" interview. It makes me laugh.

Excuse me for anyone who has seen this elsewhere.

So......yesterday we got a rental truck for the concert Sunday. We picked it up in Hollywood on Friday to save mileage charges. We drove to the church and loaded up all the percussion that we thought we would need from the storage room, and then went home.

Fran had agreed to buy a set of Timpani from a guy that plays with us regularly and it was a pretty good deal. He is playing with us Sunday so we decided to go pick them up last night since he could use them on Sunday. I headed over there about 7PM. We got them loaded into the truck, and due to restrictions at their complex his wife needed to sit in the cab of the truck so I wouldn't get towed.

Once we finished loading the drums, she turned off then engine (required for the lift in back to operate) and immediately smoke started to come out of the front of the truck. Pretty soon we saw red hot flaming wire in the connection from the cab to the box part of the truck (in the engine area) and then a flame shot out. We were able to get it out with my water bottle from the cab and a pitcher of water from inside the house.

The Fire Department came out and told us we were OK. But here's the kicker. We rented the Truck through Budget. We told them that the contents of the truck needed to be at a rehearsal in Long Beach (I was in Garden Grove picking up the Timpani) at 8:00AM so that we could unload and set up on Saturday morning. After several hours of back and forth on the phone with these people they finally admitted that there was no way they could do it.

They offered to tow the truck, but with about $100K value of musical instruments in there (replacement value) there was no way we were letting them turn the thing on it's side and drag is 12+ miles! So we ended up offloading it there at my friend's house and taking it back home in 4-5 different vehicle trips. Some of the stuff wouldn't fit in a vehicle so we left it there.

At 7:30ish Fran was able to rouse me out of bed and we were able to get a truck from a different company, so we jumped on that and immediately started to load the truck from the other company with all the stuff we brought home from the other truck. Needless to say it was a sort of disaster and we started rehearsal way late since our whole original plan was blown.

However, I think we were able to salvage rehearsal, and make it a good one. They ate quite a bit of my pulled pork and BBQ Beef, but there are still leftovers unfortunately. We'll figure that one out and see how we can get ride of them.

For tomorrow night, after the concert we plan to go to a Chinese restaurant next to the park, where we get a "package" everyone picks an entrée and we all get a "wonton, egg roll and paper wrapped chicken plus soup".

I'm just going to be happy to be done with the whole thing. The nightmare with the Budget People was enough. Thank God Penske was cool about everything!

OMG! Alison - As you're posting, I'll assume that you're all well and that the equipment is safe. Hope the concert went well.

Oh my gosh I'm glad you and your equipment (but most importantly YOU!!) were safe!! That's so scary! I'm glad it ended up ok!

Oh, Alison! That sounds like a nightmare
