Random Things

Hah! I did learn something from Facebook. In an article in the Strib on Tuesday, I read that the LATEST fad is to post 25 random things about yourself on your Facebook page. Get this, I already KNEW! I knew because my techno-whiz friend Maureen has such a list on her page. Can you believe I knew about a trend? Amazing. The Strib wasn't very positive on this trend, the gist being "who cares", but I enjoyed reading 25 random things about Maureen, and I've known her for um...34 years!

Sooo, I will tell you 25 (or more) random things about me. (Did you think this is what I was already doing? Kinda!) I will not however, tell you all 25 today. Then I will run out of material and have to write more about how I'm fat, ugly and nobody likes me. We don't want that, do we?

1. I like to eat barbeque sauce on cottage cheese. For breakfast, usually.
SOME people think this is gross. You should try it, it wakes your mouth right up! This started when I was a waitress at Embers, with french dressing. See? That's not so weird, cottage cheese and salad dressing are friends. But I ran out of french dressing and substituted BBQ sauce and it was good.

2. I love "girly" stuff like make-up, but I'm not very good at it. I woke up one time and mascara was all over my eyelids. I thought it looked good, so I bought grey eyeshadow. Goes with everything. I'm pretty sure this is not how super models choose a "look", though. My sister sells Mary Kay and she always looks gorgeous. She is trying to drag me into the new millenium with the powdered "mineral" make-up. I like it, you can put it on nice and thin. Thick make-up makes my face itch.(yeah, I'm a glamour girl).I love lipstick, too. It feels so grownup to put it on. I rarely wear it though, because my mouth is big and I look like the Joker if the color is too bright (Why so serious?) I bought some of that new "beauty tubes" mascara, too. If I could have only one cosmetic, it would be mascara. This is because I am a natural (dishwater) blonde and so are my (kinda stubby) eyelashes. This stuff actually works! I had nice, long, dark lashes. It takes 2 steps to apply, though, so lazy me doesn't use it every day. Also, it does come off in long skinny tubes when you wash. The first time this happened, I was in the shower in the gym. I looked down at my shoulder (without my glasses) and saw what looked like a spider! So I screamed. (see random thing #3). The other ladies in the locker room looked at me strangely when I got out.(Like I'm the only one who screams in the shower? please).

#3 I scream at scary stuff. This include bugs and mice, but just ones that sneak up on me.

I have a beauty recipe for you:

Brown Sugar Scrub

2 parts brown sugar (smaller crystals than white)
1 part oil (soybean, grapeseed, canola)
optional essential oil for aroma

Mix and keep in a waterproof container in the shower. Do not let water get in this or you have pancake syrup. Rub on your body to exfoliate. Rinse off and shower as usual.
