Black Friday and weekend plans
We did brave the wilds of Black Friday-- but only because J was desperately in need of a haircut (you know those mushrooms in the Super Mario games?) and because our favorite hairdresser just moved to the Bubbles in Towson Towne Center. We indulged a little at Starbucks-- double tall skinny peppermint mocha-- but I think when it comes down to it, I prefer plain 'ol coffee with peppermint mocha coffeemate. I'm losing my taste for lattes. We also decided that we need tee shirts that say "shut up, we're newlyweds," because of the bratty fourteen year olds petulantly heaving and rolling their eyes at our shmoopitude.
I did stop in Sephora, and the damage was surprisingly low. I got the Stila lip glaze collection with the intention of keeping Kitten and gifting out the others. Saw the Urban Decay Book of Shadows II and wasn't overly impressed. Thought about picking up Celebutante but they were thankfully out, and they also weren't carrying any of the Sephora favorites kits, or I'm sure one of these would have fallen into my basket.
Went into Lush. Was not at all impressed with any of their new stuff, honestly. It's all starting to smell the same. I still love me some Jingle Spells, but for the most part, I've been really underwhelmed with the new stuff and can no longer afford old favorites (Ocean Salt) I used to love. I did buy one of the new shower tablets for J to help him get going in the morning-- we'll see if that works. Yankee was too overcrowded to really sniff anything and I was surprised that my favorite thing there during my brief stay was the Mistletoe tumbler.
Next was Target for some necessary home goods, but while we were there we did pick up a tree-- our first! A 4 1/2 foot cashmere pine. Plus some basic ornaments in silver and crystal for a winter wonderland-- I'm sorry, had to stop for a moment because Jason was doing a velociraptor with machine gun impression-- theme. We're putting it up tomorrow.
Today: I'll be working on commissions in DC while Jason is bike riding with the guys, then we're heading to Marshall to visit
reedrover, achaosofkittens, and fireandearth. My social calendar is pretty booked for the next few weekends, but I keep wanting to add on and on and on because there are too many people I haven't seen in far too long. Gotta make dinner plans soon.
