Post-Valentine's Post!

Things have been hectic but decent as of late. I'm making it this week. Next week, who knows?

In other news, very shortly, I shall no longer be chained to The Desktop that Binds. (Think of that as a fancy yet sinister title. I'm giving it a go. Seeing how it plays out. Titles, titles everywhere?) Of course, this is just a fancy way of me saying that I have broken down and opted to buy a laptop. I guess I'm tired of having to find a computer lab every time I want to check Facebook--which I do frequently--or make a blog post. I hate to say that I'm one of those people that will end up kicking and screaming and dragging her feet into the technology age, but I am that person. At least it's going to be pink.

I've had a money-spending kind of week lately! Yesterday, a friend had a Mary Kay party. Like a tool, I went and spent a bunch of money--which I luckily had to spend this week! I bought eye make-up remover, Satin Hands (awesome stuff!), the Time Wise combination skin kit, and Eyesicles in Vanilla. And, seriously, if you haven't seen these little Eyesicles things, you need to check them out! So easy and so cute! It's liquid eye shadow that you just apply with a finger and go. (Perhaps you may have noticed this about me, but life is crazy and I have no time. If it's quick, I'm into it. If it's not, I steer clear!) If I were a lesbian, I would totally be a Lipstick. :)

In my defense, you have no idea how difficult it is for me to find a facial product that works. I have a very oily T-zone, but very dry cheeks. Last time I tried a Neutrogena product, it dried out my cheeks so badly that I had to use A&D ointment on them for a week! Needless to say, I'm trying to find a product that will work for me. So far, so good on the Mary Kay front. I'm on my second day of using their combination skin Time Wise cleanser and moisturizer and it hasn't broken me out or dried me out yet--and I'm using it twice a day (morning and night, as recommended). We're waiting on using the other products until we see how well this one works out for me. I think it's going to be okay. Normally on day two of a cleanser, my skin feels tight and I know I'm coming close to the point of no return (a.k.a. the A&D Adventure--see what I did there with the titles?). Thus far, I haven't felt that way with this stuff and I'm using it once more per day than I would if I was trying a regular cleanser or moisturizer. In fact, my face feels softer than ever.

The last few days, I've also been lucky enough to spend quality time with my friends and my husband. On Friday, JJ and I celebrated with one of our friends who got an internship in Washington D.C. On Saturday, we hung out with some friends who we hadn't been able to spend time with in a few weeks because we both have conflicting and crazy schedules. It's been nice to be able to laugh with friends. Let's be honest, life is stressful. Right now, if I didn't laugh, I would probably cry. I'm thrilled for any amount of time that I have with my friends. It's nice to decompress from the pressures of work, school, and money-trouble. I'm grateful to be able to do that at all right now.

At this point, academically, things are going well. I'd be lying, though, if I didn't say that I was counting down the days until Spring Break. It starts on March 8th and I'm just praying it will come a little bit faster!! I need time, world! Give me time!!

In retrospect, this whole post seems like tangential mental vomit, but I'm going to post it anyways. Why? Because it's my little spazzy blog world, and I can do as I please!
