Do you follow John Darnielle on Twitter? He's pretty great.

I too <3 the Mountain Goats (they're now a local band in Durham) and had this as my theme song for last year. I probably don't need to remind you that we were guaranteed feasting and dancing in Jerusalem in 2014.

I love it. I think it gives more coverage than Bare Minerals and it comes in a compact instead of lose powder too so that you don't have powder spilling every where (at least if you're me). You may want to give it a try sometime. I like their eye shadow too. It lasts longer than most of the other brands I've used (except for Lancome). Since I'm giving out make-up recommendations...I tried Lancome's eye lash primer last month and I am in love. It's better than the others I've used (Clinique and Estee Lauder) and makes my lashes super long and thick. It would be on my list of favorites, if I had one:)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489282631464373934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396227048446081056.post-4278511092684429892013-12-04T18:33:46.135-08:002013-12-04T18:33:46.135-08:00I love that you have an Etsy Shop now!

I know it doesn't help to say this, but ...Kim,<br /><br />I know it doesn't help to say this, but I will anyway. Being unemployed was not something you did wrong, but it does provide the opportunity to explore things in which you previously didn't dare.<br /><br />You are a smart, beautiful, and capable women. Use this time to really ask yourself what you want in life. ( or knock over a liquor store )<br /><br />My bestie recently said, "If money wasn't the issue, what would you like to do with yourself?"<br /><br />My answers were varied, funny, and often frightening, but it is was worth my time to think about that question and the eclectic answers.<br /><br />I know you can do anything you put your mind to and you will do it well!<br /><br />Dee (hehehehe)<br /><br />Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109033279005984157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396227048446081056.post-46062131314012778372013-03-05T06:02:16.018-08:002013-03-05T06:02:16.018-08:00KL,

A lot of our sense of identity and self worth is tied to 1) that we are "productive" members of our society and 2) how good we are at our jobs.<br /><br />When I was unemployed, I worked myself into a conniption that resulted in me sobbing outside of the Urbana Library because of what I perceived as my failure. Failure because I had become unemployed and then that I was "failing" at unemployment. As it turns out, there's no such thing. Being unemployed is bad enough, don't let your brain pile on!<br /><br />EBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1396227048446081056.post-46366559603167674542013-02-28T11:51:04.896-08:002013-02-28T11:51:04.896-08:00Move up here and start a home daycare with me.
