Pam and I have a shopping problem..
HELLO PAM
Seriously, I had no business at the mall today. But since we get out of work early on Fridays, I decided to finally go get a new phone. Didn't really need one, and I thought my bluetooth would work with another Motorola product..but those tricky bastards....well, I want the Jawbone anyway, I just couldn't justify spending another 119.00 for that...remember that in a few paragraphs.
So I was waited on by a very pregnant woman, so of course when you are sure it is a pregnancy and not a weight problem, its ok to ask ( but never touch) a woman to see when her due day is. She ..looked ready to pop. Turns out she isn't due til August 3rd, but she likes even numbers so she says August 2nd. At any rate I was like -whoohoo a Leo baby, and my birthday is the 28th of July. Her eyes opened wide and she proclaimed that she wants her daughter born on that day, as she likes the sound of it, and a much better birthstone...yep..I have my own share of rubies. I told her to just start pushing regardless on the 27th..the power of positive thinking.
So I was happy as I could be with my purchase. I bought a Krizor Z3 and for any LOST fans out there, its the phone Jack was using in the season finale, and the biggest clue in the beginning that we were watching a flash forward. I had the opportunity this week to play with my friends new Iphone, and yes it is cool, but...a ton of problems. Have I ever mentioned as an IT person, to never get the first generation of any technology? Well, its ok if its free, since I term it beta testing on the GP and tht would be ok if it had bugs. But not shelling out $600.00 and you can't get your contacts transferred from your old phone. Well, there is a way..buy the thumb drive for $15.00 and backup your contacts to that, connect to your computer and sync into Itunes, then simply sync your Itunes into you Iphone..what? They formatted the wrong OS type on the thumbdrive? Apple blames IBM, and everyone is pointing fingers elsewhere. All I can say is, my phone has the same capabilities..even more so. I can send a picture through a text message..the Iphone can't...I can change my battery...but I can't finger scroll my menu's, but I also have less to keep clean. I'll get one in about 2 years when I am finally released from my Tmobile account.
Anyway, I roamed the hallways of the near empty mall, and was accosted by a nice lady holding a tray of miniture cookies and cream shakes from Chik-fil-A. My mouth is still sore from last weeks wisdom tooth removal part deux, so I decided to get one. As I went to order one, the kind attendent who I chalked up to someone's mother, told me to grab a napkin and wipe my mouth as I had some whip cream on the corner....Yes Ma'am..but jeez I had just taken a sip, I hadn't even swallowed yet. I smiled and thanked her and wandered away.
I have a new theory to saving calories, I drank as much as I could before I decided to cut my mall visit short, and I would cut through Macy's. So I tossed the last quarter of my shake and told myself I probably just saved drinking at least...whew..50 whole calories, but every little bit counts. I hadn't been to the mall since Macy's took over and noticed at ton of sales....keep walking...slowing down...80% off...nope..you don't need it...just...need...to...make..the..elevator.
I did not count on being accosted by the nice Lancome makeover lady...shit. Slow day and it appeared every other shopper was managing to avoid her...sigh. "Do I want a free makeover?" Uhmmmmm yeah ok. Knowing nothing is free, but since I was just questioned hours before of what I do for myself, I truthfully answered my friend...Don't worry about me...Pam is all about Pampering...and I was led to a chair and she commenced removing my makeup. In my defense I was double teamed by Beth and I couldn't even pronounce the makeup artist name...and on deck was Helen hovering...ready to grab whatever was needed.
Now, I've always enjoyed the TLC show's esp What Not To Wear, and who doesn't enjoy a makeover? But I don't need to be taken to task by department store hourly for hires, when I've held my hairdressing license etc for 25 years. Yes, geek and beauty freak, but that's who I am. Once they cleared off my simple daily routine..eyeliner, mascara and lipstick, they proceeded to layer it on. "For a light feel" uh huh.
Beth prepped my skin, with a moisturizer, toner, eye lifter, face lifter, eye concealer and bronzer. Then I was led over to another station where they layered me with a tinted foundation, more concealer, blush, lip liner, lipstick and gloss, 3 eye shadows, 2 different eyeliners, and mascara, and after complimenting my eyebrows, drew more on. The entire time Beth was furiously scribbling every product on the personal look page and trying to impress me how the mascara was a world winning product. Ok, but its not like its bringing world peace. I will say it was the star treatment. They just shouldn't have handed me the mirror. It was ok, I wasn't wowed but I did like some colors so I picked out 6 products out of the 20 or so I was deluged with. Fortunately Lancome gives a great little gift bag with it, so when my total came to 142.04 I mentally counted the other items to get more bang for my buck.
So here I sit, all dressed up, no place to go, and when I talk on my new phone, the makeup covers the screen. Should have bought the bluetooth.
After my Lancome makeover...I think I'm too shiny.

Re the iPhone: v1.0 is never the version to run out and get. And yet, people do, and they pay the long buck for the privilege. So tell me...why are we still in IT when we could make a potful just hawking junk?

Considering how many layers they put on, it actually looks pretty natural. You do have great eyebrows - and great lips.
