Not much to talk about
Registered for my summer class.. after books, I am now $500 poorer. But, education is a worthwhile expense, so I'll suck it up for now.
In related news of worthwhile expense--Sally Hansen Salon Effects! I have the hounds-tooth pattern, "Check It Out", and can't wait to see how long they last for in my line of work. Today is Day Two and all is well, but we all know that after being at work for 13 hrs. on Wed, by the time I get home on Thurs my nail polish looks like a normal person's 10-day old manicure. But I had such amazing results with the CND Shellac (getting my second dose May 23) that I am optimistic for the SH Salon Effects.
They are pretty much real polish, in sticker/decal form. This is my first attempt, and not even with the "correct" sized decal for my finger and I think it looks pretty wicked. If things go well I definitely am picking up more. It's between $8-$10 (depending where you buy) for 16 strips and considering a whole set would look too busy I'm only going to do one or two fingers per hand at a time. Although, if I buy "Laced Up" I may do a full set. So super stoked! I've been wanting Minx since I first heard about it, but am a broke student... so this is def the next best thing.

The Ben Stiller Show
It's on IFC and I watch it at times like these--late night when I still don't want to go to bed, but don't want my brain to work very much. I load a whole bunch up on the DVR and then inhale them on the weekend.
That rabbit I made tasted EXACTLY like chicken. Like, EXACTLY. It wasn't even worth the hassle, and eating around the little bones is annoying. Also, it doesn't look like much but I thought my sauce was tasty.
Lots of chores tomorrow. Bleh.
My Shellac manicure is still going strong, so because I haven't found time to get it removed I figured I'd throw glitter over the nail to disguise the 3 weeks worth of growth. It's not the perfect fix, but I'm lazy.
Now looking back at the photo of my manicure when it was fresh... I really wish I could get proper manicures, at least every 2 weeks. *sigh. It would be a total waste of money at my job though.

Boring Sunday
Too unmotivated to go to the store for ingredients to finally cook rabbit, so putting it off 'til Tuesday... the cooking, not the store. Many stores to hit up tomorrow.
Am going to test-drive new hair dryer later; very excited.Was let down by new flat iron and will be returning tomorrow.
Was also let down by new lip stain shade, but can't return that. Possibly get diff. one at store tomorrow. Can return the foundation though!
