still separated, in limbo, still hopeful

whoa- youtube has everything! just learned how to apply individual false eyelashes-it was a tip on Rachael Ray for looking youthful (SHE wears them)! Other tips they gave-use self tanner, thin your eyebrows(not too much but pluck or wax and "arch" them), make sure your hair color isn't too light for your skin tone, use a natural lip color for lipstick or gloss instead of darker...no bangs straight across either.

So not that I would wear them every day but I did buy some individual lashes today. Yikes I don't want to look plastic with my self tanner and fake eyelashes but the effect is to "glow" (not turn orange) and "enhance" one's looks, not cover up! I would wear the lashes just for fun on a night I go out.

Today was another Sunday where I barely saw WH. I worked out for about an hour (watched Parenthood the movie on Netflix instant play) and then got ready and put away laundry. WH and S left to run some errands. I went grocery shopping. When I returned they weren't back yet which bugged me for some reason. I did ask WH if he wouldn't mind picking up some things for me at Trader Joes. Then I didn't want him to think I was trying to get him to pay for it or something so I sent a text saying to deduct the cost of the trip from next month's payment. He said ok but I doubt he will deduct it!

While I was preparing veggies for S (roasting squash, sweet potatoes and yams and will freeze it), they arrived. He picked up some other goodies and then bought me a bag of chips as well-said I should try them (blue corn tostitos). I told him thanks and that I had tried them! They were good. It still was nice of him to think of me!

Then he set up this cheaply made but fun kids tent with a tunnel (reminds me of a cat toy actually!) for S. S is kind of "wary" of both things right now and doesn't want to play with them, even with his mama!

Oh and my "special" friend called while WH was still here- he stayed longer than usual to set up the tent. Well I just heard my phone and he was standing about 5 feet from it. It was in my purse. He said "go ahead-you can get that if you want!" because he was in the middle of talking to me. But I glanced at it, saw it was my pal and switched the ringer off.

Hope he wondered why I didn't take the call!

Am looking for some kind of steak and pasta recipe for tomorrow night.
