Alright, let me jump back into this! I've been AWOL on the blogging for a few weeks, but don't worry, you didn't miss anything. Not too much going on lately. Highlights below!
Tif and I had appointments to see the new MAC Wonder Woman collection last Friday. They did makeovers on us using the new products, which are VERY bright. I ended up looking like a hooker; complete with blue eyeshadow, glitter and bright red lip gloss. The picture doesn't do the look justice. There was stripper dust EVERYWHERE!Tif somehow managed to look pretty good after all was said and done. We had fun and that's all that matters! And for once she outspent me on a makeup purchase. Amazing, but true. I did add a few new pieces to my ever expanding makeup collection though. I made a new section on the blog for my weekly makeup hauls; it'll be easier to see everything that way. :)
Last Saturday we all got together for dinner and games at Wendi's house. Adult beverages and a rousing game of Apples to Apples. We had a great time! This Saturday we did spaghetti dinner and "Get Him to the Greek". Love that movie; so funny! Who could be afraid of a Jeffrey?
And finally, my girlfriend Stacy and her husband Tobbie had their baby on the 8th! Yes, my partner in "no-baby" crime had a friggin' baby. Tyler Jay arrived at 3:25pm weighing in at a whopping 7lbs 12ounces. She's officially one of "them" now! It's alright though because he's pretty damn cute. I think he might be a keeper.

What I'm Looking Forward to in the Week Ahead -
Not a whole lot going on this week/weekend. On Thursday night, Tif and I are heading down to Slave to the Needle for a session on her sleeve. I just go along for entertainment. Until April 9th anyway, I'm getting my foot tattoo done finally. WOOHOO!
Friday night I may drag Mario out to Benjarong for some won ton soup. I never would have thought a Thai restaurant would have such amazing won ton soup, but they do! It's excellent!
I'm sure we'll end up doing something fun as a group on Saturday, just not sure what it is at the moment. Maybe games, dinner and a movie? Maybe bowling or rollerskating? Rollerskating sounds super fun; I think I'll try to get everyone out to do that! Drinks before hand couldn't hurt either....
Weight Update - I'm down .6lbs this week for a grand total of 45.8lbs lost. I lost some, but have hit a major plateau. Things went horribly, horribly bad for me this weekend; it's a wonder I lost at all. Let's just say it started with a Dick's Deluxe and ended with strawberry swirl cheesecake. I got the guest room emptied out and the exercise equipment set back up last Sunday, so I'm gonna keep working on it and just focus on keeping the nutrition balanced and working out every night. Hopefully the added exercise will jump start the losing again!

Texts From Last Night "Text of the Week" -
(513) Today the house voted to defund Planned Parenthood but continue funding NASCAR. I fucking hate everything.
And Finally, My Gripe - No real gripe this week other than the weather guys. Why do we even have weather guys in this region?! They NEVER know what's going on, even as it happens. This week we're supposed to get 4"-6" of snow. I'll believe it when I see it, but here's to a possible snow day! Yay!
