Oooooh.

I just did a facial mask thingy and my skin feels all tight and tingly and, I have to tell you, a little strange. I feel like I need to keep slathering moisturizer on until I fall asleep, which, as you all know, could be sometime on Tuesday. Ah well. I'm just glad that I got the free sample at Sephora. The Sibs bought the whole set so she could do it once a week. I hope she's got stronger skin than I have.

Otherwise, a quiet Saturday. I did go to Old Navy with the girls, and got a few things, which is more than I'm sure I needed, but you know how it goes. And I just really tidied up my desk, to the point of actual *gasp* dusting, and even re-arranging the bits of information I keep under my clear desk-blotter. This, I suppose, was prompted by the gift I received today from my first-born: her business card. Oh yes, a business card from a major, real non-profit business, and her name, and the title "Project Manager." So that's very cool.

The only other event of my day was that it's Bare Escentuals day on QVC, three shows, so I'm having fun with that. Although I did not order a single thing today. (But I pre-ordered the big item of the day a couple of weeks ago, so I already have it.) I said to my sister last week that if my mother came back and saw us as we are now -- me, especially, I think -- she'd say "Yes, I have daughters. And who the hell are you?" But in a good way. All this make-up and hair stuff, and getting my nails done, she'd be thrilled to pieces.

I haven't been mentioning the hearing aids, probably to avoid drawing the attention of the evil eye, but they seem to be working pretty well. That problem that I had before, where they would suddenly change into a sort-of muted mode for no reason, does not seem to be there. If it is there, it's much, much better and not interfering with my life. I do try re-setting them once a day or so to see if that whole thing is going on, and I really can't tell, so I guess they're okay. For the most part, I put them in in the morning and don't think about them all day (unless I'm in a crowd or a car and I choose to change the program), and that's what you really want out of your hearing aids: they're supposed to integrate into your life as if you don't need to know they're there. So I guess I'm happy with them, but you can see that I'm not quite willing to commit yet to being 100% with them. I'm giving it another week. And I need to go to the movies to see how they work there. Either tomorrow early afternoon, or maybe one night this week.

I need more moisturizer.
