What is Up With This?

OK, I am getting seriously fed up.
What is wrong with Internet Explorer today?
Every single link or button I click will take me to the page then a little grey box pops up telling me that IE can't open the page and will have to abort.

What is really irritating is that it does this after it's already opened the damn page. Then when I try and close the stupid grey box, it closes the whole page.

Crap.....}:-(

Good God! What Next?

This is going to be the first of what may become a series of postings I shall
refer to as the "Good God Chronicles"

My inspiration for this all began this morning while I was doing my usual admiring of my ever increasing "character lines" as I massaged one of my vast array of anti-wrinkle products into them.

As I tilted my head back to get to my neck , Lo and behold, what should peek out at me from my right nostril but a long black nose-hair. And I mean Loooonnnnggggg!
I could just about have flossed my teeth with that sucker!

Where the hell did it come from?
I mean it didn't just sprout up overnight did it?
Was it lying up there all coiled up, with me being blissfully unaware?
Had my friends already noticed it and were just too polite to mention it?

What to do?
I grabbed my Lacrosse ultra-fine tweezers and went to work.
Grasping the unwelcome intruder between the fine-stainless pincers I yanked-HARD!

And then I swear my right eye almost damn near fell out.
Seriously-the root must have reached to my eyeball for it watered and teared,
and the pain though brief, is now seared in my memory, and shall be known forevermore as "nose hair removal pain".

I carefully checked for others as experience tells me that these things often come in pairs.
So far, so good. Now just the wait to see how long it takes to grow back, or more likely, how many will grow back in it's place.

I will not give up without a fight.
I mean just look at what relentless tweezing did for my brows?
I certainly beat them into submission.

Then again, perhaps my brows never disappeared at all.
Maybe they just migrated lower on my face to a quiet dark cavern where they could grow wildly in peace.
Hmmmm...I'll have to think about this some more.

A Funny Thing Happened When I Tried to Make My buttons Scroll...

Last night I decided to try and make a scrolling marquee out of all my fabulous bloggy buttons that I've been collecting.
Sara, over at Subjective Beauty has published an awesome video tutorial for doing this over at her place.
Well although Sara's instructions are clear and concise,leave it to me to foul it up anyways.:-)

(My husband has oft told me that I could F-up a wet dream and evidently
that is what I did. This is also why I don't cook much-but that is fodder for another post.);-)

Anyhoo,

What was supposed to be a smooth, upward marching display turned into a lop-sided, hiccuping,mess that made my page load ever so slowly.
I tried to fix it this morning but alas, no luck.

And unfortunately because of my technology-challenged ineptness,
I lost a great many of my buttons.:-(
So today I shall being going through my fabulous blog roll and making visits to see how many I can retrieve.

Have a great day all!

I have Eyebrows Again!

Sometimes I find a product in the endless array of cosmetics out there, that actually works and
I just have to crow about it.
I have been bemoaning my sparse, over-plucked brows for a few years now.
They just seemed to get lighter and thinner with every passing birthday, and I have been dreading the day I'd have to give up and "draw" them on.
Either that or resign myself to wearing bangs down to my eyelids.

I had tried a few products in the past but the effect was too 'Mommy Dearest' and I didn't want to go around scaring any small children.
This Saturday I decided to try again, and I bought a product from Revlon called
Brow Fantasy.

It's a duel-headed product with a soft color crayon on one end and a wand with sheer color gel on the other end.
Now I am no expert when it comes to applying products, (especially to my eyes) but I admit that this was easy. I took the crayon and penciled in light short strokes to my skimpy brows. Next I took the wand end and lightly applied the setting gel.
That's it. Instant brows and they don't look all drawn-on-(Believe me I checked in my 5x power magnifying mirror!)

So God bless Revlon-this product is a keeper!
