Friday Night Leftovers-

• Jade is currently working an hour away from home. Lately, it feels like we are roommates. He has been leaving early in the morning and getting home late. I am not going to lie, it is draining. At the end of the day, I have nothing more to give. I am exhausted, he is exhausted. Thank goodness it is almost over. I miss him and so do the girls.
• New Year's Eve. Tomorrow??? Wow. This year has just flown by. Jade & I have decided to break our tradition of going out to eat with my side of the family (11 years) and stay home. I purchased crab legs & steak + red skins and stuff for a greek salad. With all of the Christmas hustle and bustle and Ruby is hit or miss in a restaurant, home is our best bet right now. We were invited to a few parties, but once again, we wanted to be home.
• I asked Reyna to clean up her closet tonight before bed. She had emptied dress up bins. It was a mess. A few minutes later, she walked out of her room so I figured she was done. Me: "Reyna, did you clean your closet up"? Reyna: "Yep, I turned the light off and shut the door".                            I guess she went for the out of sight, out of mind approach.
• I am thinking of trying Bare Escentuals/ Bare Minerals makeup. I asked my peeps on Facebook the other day and there were several who really liked it. A few said Origins, as well. Any feedback? Do you recommend something else? I need to switch my foundation.
• Jade & I are getting to watch, "Water for Elephants". LOVED, loved the book and cannot wait to see the movie.
• My house is completely De-Christmas'ed and it feels soooo gooooood. I am just not a clutter bug.

• I am hoping to put my mixer to good use this weekend and some homemade bread.
