Dianthus Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I made healthier granola today. Used 3 egg whites and 1/4 c maple syrup with 2 c oats, 1 c oat bran, and 2 c nuts. No oil, except sprayed the pan with canola spray. And no other sugars, just cinnamon salt and vanilla. It's nice and crispy. The kids think it is bland but that's good because it's my treat. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Sunday!! Church!!! It’s raining!! They are predicting some sort of apocalyptic storm with high winds.

Susan in TN Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Good afternoon! It's a little chillier this morning, but I suppose it's to be expected in February. I think I may start wintering at Slachey's. Service was good this morning. I was able to sit in on Sunday school and the lesson there was also good - today's teacher was one of dd21's favorite professors. Nothing really going on today. I may see if we can get a bit more Christmas stuff put away. Ds19 has string quartet tonight and ds29 is going to the weekly game dev. get-together. Little Pup actually laid down on floor in the living room. For several minutes! We've never seen him do anything but run, jump, wrestle, and play anywhere outside his crate. Coffee! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Re: makeup I've started using this makeup that I got on Amazon - MagicMinerals airbrush foundation. I like it and it's not super expensive. ETA: there's a promotion going on now so you can get the makeup and brush set for $14 or $15, depending on what shade you order. I got "light medium" and it seems to be the right color for me. Edited February 4 by Susan in TN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianthus Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I bought This. It's the not the miracle I was hoping and I realized after using too much that I do have lines around my eyes and I shouldn't use too much because it makes them noticeable... never noticed before. So, I have been just dotting some of the peach and yellow in the corner and just a bit on the lowest part of dark circle, then I brush it in with the tiny brush I also ordered. It brightens a bit and doesn't look like I'm wearing anything so I'm happy. Today was day 2 of trying it.

Susan in TN Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! I woke up around 2am apparently determined to find the perfect linen/wool blend pashmina. Fortunately I did not actually buy anything, but did discover lots of fabric wholesale companies around the world. I need to figure out how to get ds19 added to my health insurance policy. That's what I really need to be doing this morning while dd17 takes her chemistry test. We have all the usual Monday afternoon and evening activities today.

Dianthus Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ellie said: I'm impressed that you were able to figure out what to do. I watched many YouTube tutorials and learned that if I completely cover the dark circle, it will make my eyes look smaller, require more product and get cakey and overall look unnatural. I don't want to have foundation so this tiny bit can blend into my skin, just trying to cancel/brighten the circles. I used a cotton swab. I should probably buy some makeup specific tool, but used a swab to dot about 5 or 6 dots around eye. I bought the palette because I wasn't sure what color would correct. I feel they are purple which should need yellow but the peach covers better so I'm glad I have options. Trying to blend with my finger did not work as well as the little brush. It blended best when brushing away from my eye not up into eye. It doesn't cover, just minimizes. I don't have bags yet but there were interesting methods to minimize those as well.

KrissiK Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!! School for some, work for others. Still feeling pretty carpy, but hopefully the antibiotics kick in soon.

Susan in TN Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Good morning! The plumber is coming probably late this morning, ds19 may or may not have a cello lesson (his teacher sometimes travels to another Large City to play in their orchestra and so the lessons are rescheduled), and other people are doing lessons and working etc., etc. Both pups are napping. Little Pup pooped on the rug because dd17 took him potty and didn't let him stay outside long enough. 🙄 Dd15's throat hurts this morning. Probably sinus issues. Coffee!

Susan in TN Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) In other news, the plumber came and checked some things out and said there is nothing wrong with our plumbing; the city has probably just increased the water pressure because of all the construction and it just happened to coincide with The Big Freeze. So we can get a water pressure reducing valve if we want but it's not super necessary. He didn't charge me anything for coming out. 😊 Edited February 6 by Susan in TN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all better now. We are about to start storytime. We are reading "When Pople are Big and God is Small by Edward Welch. Since I couldn't consult you all, I went bananas and signed up for both the Maine Fiddle Camp (June weekend and the following June week) AND the Nashville Old Time String Band Association's "Breaking Up Winter" music festival (the first weekend of March).

Susan in TN Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The Two Youngest and I went to a church ladies thing they were having - desserts and flower arranging. Everyone was given a bouquet of flowers and a flower shop lady gave a demonstration on arranging them in a vase. Someone made these amazing peanut butter chocolate brownies. She promised to send me the recipe. Meanwhile I am driving everyone nuts with my Maine Fiddle Camp tune Spotify playlist and tune practicing with the Strum Machine app. I have a new favorite tune: Forcalquier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Some of you already know this, but for those of you who don’t: I asked my husband for a divorce. And I tell you all only to come here to complain about opposing counsel and the games lawyers play. Like meet the deadlines and file the financial paperwork already. I have not mentioned to STBE that his lawyer missed the deadline. It was Monday. Opposing counsel has now received a letter asking for it or we file Motion to Compel. I hope we have to file the motion. I hope they look bad to the judge. I don’t look forward to years of having to pay alimony. DS is fine with it all, btw.
