No, today was a day for sunshine and frivolous joys and pleasures. After reading about a woman in prison who's only wish was not to go to Hawaii or Paris, or even a health spa, but to Walgreen's, because they have lots of shades of lipstick.
Well, that is exactly what I did. I do not drive, but I live close enough to businesses, that I can get just about everywhere I really need to go. One of these days, however, I am going to get somebody to go with me to World Market. I love that store.
I bought two tubes of maybeline lipstick, one fuchsia, and one plum. They were buy one, get one half price. They had a pink on clearance, but it just was not bright enough. I wanted bright, bright, deep, intense, hot pink, which kind of equals fuchsia. However, I think the fuchsia and the plum are both a bit too close to the deep red I have, but my eyes are bad, so maybe it is just my vision. Once at home, I took a kleenex, and tried on the different shades, so I could wipe off one color, before applying another, without getting them all mixed together. Ugh.
I also bought a comparative brand to neutrogena, daytime face lotion with spf 15 sunscreen, which I always use in all seasons, on sale even cheaper. I had a really hard time finding this product, although I knew it existed.
Lastly, I went to the supermarket, where I purchased cream of mushroom soup and lean ground beef to make a casserole. Usually, I only eat vegetarian health food, but decided to prepare winter comfort food for my son and myself as well.
Then, in conclusion to my endeavors, I ruled out which talking books for the blind, were just not worth reading, such as Being Elizabeth by ... Who cares. I hate books about rich people having sex, lol, not because I am jealous, just that if you are going to write sex, please just write it well. Ha ha.
I once almost got into a bar fight, (yes the real me, my shadow coming out) because a woman said I 'wasn't getting any,' listening in on my conversation with my bar friend Danny, a retired cop from New England, who had one lung, was a former AA attendee, but drank and smoked anyway. I do not know if she was right or wrong, but at the time my ego was threatened by this, whereas today I would not care, and I would not be hanging out there, or at least it would be less likely.
So, back to my serious books on Abraham Lincoln and hunting Bin Laden.
Have a beautiful day. Today and every day.
