But I’ll blog anyway because I don’t want to work (I just want to bang on my drums all day!) and I’m killing 10-15 mins before I leave to pick up Steph on the way home.
Updates :
Twinrix update : We chose to just get the darn vaccine and stop fretting over it. I got them today at Costco where they were only 50$ a shot woot! (Compared to 80$ at some places) And it has to be refrigerated and even gave me a cold pack to transport it back to the fridge at work. Good thing we’re in the minuses or I’d be paranoid about it getting too warm. We’re going to get the first shot tomorrow morning at 9am. The next shot on March 10, and the next one 6 months later.
Gym update : You all already know, but our gym memberships had expired so we went and rejoined. But instead of paying a lump sum for a definite amount of time, we joined via payroll deductions that Steph’s employer offers, so we don’t have to worry about it expiring, yay!
Emotional basket case update : I’m freezing, I’m bloated, I’m crampy and my boobs are tender. Yep… phew. I think I’m not really mental.. yet.
Smartest Loser Gala Update : I think we’re definitely going. I think we’d regret not going. I might possibly post dress pictures the week before to get your opinions on which one to wear.
Questions :
Random question for cruisers : When you get off the boat in port, what do you bring off the boat with you? passport? money? cards? camera? What do you do with all that stuff while partaking in water activities?
Hair : What should I do with mine? You’ve seen it in the recent pictures… it’s just shoulder lenght, blonde/caramel highlights, dull, thin, fine, and blah. I’m thinking maybe long layers ? (NOT the darn Rachel they keep doing to me)
Foundation : What do you use for a foundation? I kinda liked my Physician’s formula mineral powder… but you know me.. I love trying new things, and I have to buy something else even though this one is still half full, because I realized this week that woah, I’m kind of pale (winter) and that foundation is now way too dark for me. (I discovered one morning at work that I had the ‘foundation mask’ eeeek!!)

Answers:
I’ve never been on a cruise. So I have no idea. But man – that is a great question!
Hair: I plead the 5th. I’m not one to give advice on hair as I’m a complete and total chicken shit and change my hair cut once every few years, and then, grow it out to long with a few layers and bangs. Because I like it like this.
Foundation: I use Bare Minerals. And I just had to go a shade lighter – because I made the same discovery you did! I told Craig it was a sign that it was time to go back to Mexico!

Foundation: I use Bare Minerals as well and LOVE it. I also use their eye shadows and blush and bronzer (sometimes), so I love their entire line!

well, i don’t do makeup, so I can’t help there, but for the cruise you’ll get a ship card that has your passport information with it… you should leave the passport locked in the safe in your room and maybe carry a passport with you – you’ll probably want to take bottled water with you, and enough cash for what you’ll need – American dollars are pretty universally accepted, or a visa/mc is pretty well accepted too…. when do you set sail again? I am on board in 59 days!

Whenever I go off wandering, I take my beach bag and usually have my camera, sunscreen, water and a book (depending on what we are doing). They will sell these things on the ship that you can put your sail & sign card and ID/cash in it, it’s like a waterproof case that you can hang around your neck. But, if you are going snorkeling or something, I’ve just left stuff on the boat that takes us out and it’s never been bothered.
As for makeup? The only time I would wear makeup is when I was going to dinner at night. Between being out in the sun and being in the water, makeup is kind of pointless.

Well, I mean make up for everyday here in my ‘real life’.. not on the cruise! hehehe
Katie : We set sail in 43 days!! Eeeeeeeeeek!!

I’m not much of a makeup wearer as I have eczema all over my face, so i have to be careful what I use. Mineral makeups all around are my favs.
Never been on a cruise so I can’t help there.
As for the hair: go wild! Tell the hairdresser to do what she thinks would look best (if you trust the one you have). That’s what I usually do when I’m in the mood for a change. ;)

I have nothing to add on cruising or foundation.
Just have to say this: Aaack! You reorganized your blog and now I can’t get to everyone from your page. (That was my morning routine – open Nancy’s blog and then link to everyone from there). Maybe that’s a sign that I should be doing my blog-reading at home, where they’re all bookmarked, instead of at work. LOL

Cruise: It has been a long time since I’ve been on a cruise. I can’t even remember. I think I just took money. I don’t think we needed a passport. We definitely brought our camera. As for what to do with it while doing water activities… get one of those water proof bags!
Hair: I’d need to actually see you in person to help you out on that one.
Foundation: You’re talking to the make up queen here. I use MAC Studio Fix. It has the best coverage! I love it. And I don’t feel like I’m wearing foundation.
