Update 3/11/10

So...I realized there's a lot that's been going on that I haven't blogged about. Now that I'm getting readers, I feel obligated to update more often!

Both of my parents have cancer now. My mom was diagnosed years ago and we found out about my dad's about a month and a half ago. There's no telling how long he's had it since he never goes to the doctor. He's on a lifetime pill and going in to M.D. Anderson for tests and what not. Thank God we live in a city that is blessed to have such phenomenal healthcare! I wish we didn't need it, though. There's a lot going on in the family right now, so prayers are much appreciated.

About a month ago I got a puppy. He's a Bichon Frise hybrid...almost a Doxie Chon, but only 1/6 Dachshund, so...yeah. He's precious! I'll upload a pic once I figure out how to! He's started barking when I leave for the day (I already trained him out of it once!) so I guess it's back to the drawing board on that. Luckily, my neighbors haven't mentioned anything. (I live in an apartment.)

I've started a product introduction and review blog! I'll feature mostly Lush stuff, but I've added some things like Clean And Clear acne treatments and...da dada daaaaaa! MY OWN WRAPADOO! :) That's right! I found out on Monday that I won a WrapADoo from SpaWeek! I'm SO excited! It should come in tomorrow or Saturday. Needless to say, even if my hair is clean, I WILL use it the day it comes in! I've been wanting one for months, but I'm saving for a new car, so $70 isn't exactly easy to come by.

Also, another big-ticket item I've saved for-the Apple iPad presale begins TOMORROW! :) How stoked am I?! VERY!

Alright. I haven't even taken my bath yet. I better run.

Goodnight, all.

Lonely In A Crowded Room

I've been very bothered lately by my lack of friends. I am beginning to detest social networking sites because it seems like people would much rather drop you a "happy birthday" note rather than get off their lazy bums and spend the day with you. It's getting old.

Living in the suburbs, I don't meet anymore. All of the people who live anywhere close to me are married with children. And here I am...a spring chicken of sorts, with a crappy car, Shaba and Bandit, and a Clif Bar for breakfast. I feel socially awkward. Like the girl on the swingset during recess. The one who smells a bit like okra, oatmeal, and Trident. The one who wears those colorful leather sandals and talks to the clouds. That's me. Nice to meet you.

It's not that I'm not social-I think I'm fairly easy to get along with. I just don't know where to begin! Lately, I've been so busy with my youngest sister and that helps a lot, but there's still something missing. I'd love to have someone I could catch a late movie with or go on a weekend trip with. Will that person please stand up?!

Anyway...just wanted to share that.
