Twinkie - Your tags changed, again. What's up with that?

I was april fooled.

Happy Giving Birth Day!

Taking pictures. At the dump. From 150 yards. YOU?

I knew it!

MommyP, take a look at the inside of your wrist. If the visible veins have a greenish look, you have yellow undertones. If the veins appear more blue, your skin has blue undertones.

Mine are both blue and green?

Well, well.....I was googling mineral makeups earlier and I found a review of drugstore mineral makeups at a site called "makeup moxie" or something like that. ANYWAY.

The moxie lady recommended Milani as a good drugstore brand which is funny because when I was looking at makeup at Target the other day, this well made up lady next to me said she uses Milani ($8) and thinks its as good as any mineral make-up she's used. But she said she only uses the one in the compact....whatever that means.

I ran out of the Bare Escentuals color that I kinda liked and am now back to the warm one that makes my face look dirtyish in the wrong light. So maybe I'll stop today and get the Milani and let you know.

Taking out of focus, half body, goofy faced pictures, of course.

I'm also wracking my brain as to what I can put(out of place) into pictures I take to drive you crazy.

Just about anything would do the trick. Duh.

I was so confused I had two subcriptions for our thread and one was closed and oy! Don't do that to me.

9 kids with 2 being babies with 3 hours of sleep is not recommended.

Free dining looking more likely - Disney Visa offer to start on April 7
All signs continue to point to Disney's free dining offer beginning to the general public on April 10. We expect Disney Visa cardholders to get their free dining offer a few days earlier, on April 7.

My veins are blue.

Twinkie - That was a stinky April Fools joke.

Well our $70 weather radio FINALLY alerted us to severe weather this afternoon. The first time EVER. We bought it last year after those freak tornados in central Florida. It told us there was a severe thunderstorm heading towards us from Hendry county. I am looking out my back door at lots of wind and scary black skys. Yay!

What old thread?

Chad got a job offer making $14 an hour. It's in Naples, which would cost us $700 a month in gas. LOL! So much for that. We wouldn't be making enough to pay for the gas. Why couldn't it have been closer? He was offered a temporary job making $20 an hour, for about 2 weeks. Anyone know how that works with the unemployment? Would we still be eligible for it after that job was over?

 

[TwinkieMama]

Ok lex-my veins are purple and green too. Does that mean I am alien?

MP- I don't mind being a pawn in the tag fairy's games. I was talking about the original moovin along thread. Now sliced and diced into 4 pieces and on the CB.

I am starting to see why people get so up in arms about vaccinations. Where is my normal laid back baby and who is this fussy guy who has to be held all day?

 

[MommyPoppins]

Twinkie - Isaac was so pathetic and sleepy with his first vaccinations.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Pathetic and sleepy I can take.... this is just cranky and irritable.

MommyP, take a look at the inside of your wrist. If the visible veins have a greenish look, you have yellow undertones. If the veins appear more blue, your skin has blue undertones. I find Bare Minerals more adaptable to yellow undertones, so I'm guessing that's what you have.

I don't think Everyday Minerals is too powdery. I just think that the application method has to be different from the Bare Minerals way, to adjust for the different consistencies.

I still want to try Sheer Cover. Just to compare and contrast. Has anyone tried their stuff? Can you tell I'm a beauty product junkie???

I'm a beauty product junkie toooooo. You guys, don't buy the mineral makeup being sold out of Costco "Fresh Minerals". No one is that yellow. The brush bristles fall out randomly and I basically should NOT be that frosty/glittery at my age. Don't be fooled by their nice packaging.

I love the color "True" in Bare Minerals for my eyes and cheeks (with a little "warmth")

The L'Oreal mineral makeup isn't as good too, and the talc makes my face burn a little.

Sheer Cover is great. You get more. But the color I got was a little yellow. Great for when I use a self tanner though.

My veins are teal ish bluish...heh. I HAVE to be the difficult one.

I'm going to laugh if the thread-guys are reading all our makeup talk and suddenly very mineral make up savvy to their wives...gonna have some 'splainin' to do

Like I need your help in that area. I already get into enough trouble.

Well, the sage of my son joining the Airforce has come to a conclusion.

If you remember, it has been a long road to try to join as an officer (Pilot (no can do with glasses), Navigator (maybe with glasses) or Warroom commander.

It started back in August or so, with talking with a recruiter and taking a test and taking a physical. Then long wait for the results of who would be accepted. They are picky!!!
Finally in December, the results were posted, and he was on the list!!

Then he had to take another physical. They forgot to take blood, so he had go all the way back to Melbourne for that.
Then they called him back for another eye exam, and said he need a waiver to be a Navigator.
Then weeks of nothing.
2 days ago he got a call, asking him if he ever had eye surgery, etc.
Today he got a call from the recruiter.
He got the waiver.
I asked now what? He said now has to get sworn in.
My heart sank a little.
Then he says he has to report May 6 in Alabama for 3 months of OTS as a navigator.
I almost started to cry.
I wanted this so much for him, because he really wanted it, but when I heard the news, I of course was very happy for him, but the tears came because MY BABY IS LEAVING!

So I am both very happy for him and very sad for me .
Actually I am happy for me too, because I think I would feel far more sad if he had gotten rejected because he wanted this so much. If that makes any sense.
So after 8 months of waiting, he is now leaving in a month. Short notice for his roommates, he was supposed to be godfather to his friends new baby, his friend in NY is getting married (he was supposed to go there), and he is leaving a guy in a lurch that he was supposed to work for 5 days in May for $1,200. Plus what to do with miscellaneous furnishings and his Tortoise George?

At least he will still be here for his sister's college graduation on May 3!

So that is my news of the day.
May I just say that my concentration on forecast is shot right now?

Thanks for the info on Sheer Cover. I'm VERY fair-skinned, so yellow-ish anything gives me the unhealthy corpse-like pallor I try desperately to avoid. But maybe if I blend a coupla colors? Meh, I may try it....



And somehow, I have to think that makeup talk gives the thread guys get the same glazed-over expression that you and I get from sports-related posts.

Congrats to your DS and hugs to you Marita! Certainly understandable why this would be a bittersweet moment for you but how wonderful also.

I am sure he will make us all proud!

[lalijack]

Marita! That's great news! Congrats to your son!!!! I can understand your mixed feelings. So exciting though!

What happens after the 3 months in Alabama?

 

[pumba]

Mariata .......sad for our babies to grow up......I cried at each milestone in our kids lives.....

MAINE GOT THE EXTENSION.......I was so happy......now we dont ahve to worry if the passports would of gotten here in time......

When our kids and the grandkids were getting vaccinations.......we gave them a dose of baby tylenol before they got to the doctors......this was per their orders.....helped them after and then they had some in their system so they tolerated the shots better......poor babies.....

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Thanks, Rob and Lynette,

Bittersweet news for sure. But great in the end.
I sure hope he gets the planes where they need to be and hopefully not get shot down. At least the AF seems somewhat safer than other branches. And he wants to fly the big cargo planes, the bigger, the better.

After training, I am sure he will be sent to an airforce base somewhere, don't know yet.

I was telling him today: "when I took you to grammy's house when you were little (he went there until he was 1 1/2), little did I know that you would end up like this." He used to point at the planes as we passed Orlando Exective Airport (the small planes), and yell "plane, plane!!
He accused me of confusing it with Fantasy Island, LOL.

Pumba, great news on the ID thing

 

[TwinkieMama]

Oh no! you didn't get a MANCOLD did you?

Marita- Congrats to you and your son!!!!!!! I do know what you mean.

Pumba- glad the ID thing worked out

 

[lexmelinda]

CONGRATULATIONS TO MARITA & HER *BABY*!

Here's some

And some

I will be down immediately with my mad Excel skillz to finish your forecast. (Are park tickets and hotel included?)

Pumba..... to you too. Passport issues stink. Been there, done that.
