Everything is being moved over to that chest!  I love opening the large drawers and seeing everyone together!  lol

 

So, I flipped my husband out just now.  Hehehe.  Actually it stems from the sudden death of our friend a few weeks ago. He had a cup of tea, went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and go to bed and had a massive stroke. His wife heard him fall and he never woke up, passing on a few days later. He was in perfect health.  So I just asked my husband where we are going to be buried, what does he want, all sorts of morbid questions like that.  We actually have plots now. Yeehaw. What a cheerful thought!  But it is taken care of and we are working on the rest. When you don't have kids to help out and family moving away you realize you need to set these things in order or else.  We cracked up while talking about it...what kind of coffin, etc.  lol  Sort of like a Buffy episode! 

 

Aren't I just a bundle of joy?  Hehhee.... 

 

well i think it is a very good idea planning for things like that. i know it is morbid but you just don't know what is going to happen.  me and nick have discussed funerals before but sadly we want very different things - i want to be burried and he wants to be cremated. so not sure what will happen really! and yes that is funny discussing what coffin you will have! very much like a buffy episode!

Yep, we are trying to find a middle ground on some things. lol  At least we both want to be buried, but I had such a Buffy moment it was so funny!  Hubby asked me what kind of coffin I wanted and of course, being me, I said "You know, something pretty and girlie!  Pretty wood with pink inside!" Duh!  Scented with perfume, please!  Hee hee!  He keeps asking me why I don't want a wake, so I keep telling him no one will be around to come anyhow.  It is freaking him out.  I will probably fold on this one, but I hope I have time to think on it!  And I told him to be sure the lipstick and blush are pink, even if I am closed casket!  They better do my nails in Zoya....I need it to last a long, loooong time!  Hehe...

Okay, thinking happier thoughts.  NARS...oooh!  Must check on this!  And I just picked out some VS things with my rewards card.  Bah, only 10.00 off.  Phooey on them!  I better like my goodies at least!! 

I really am realizing why I am so hooked on MU and buying so much.  I never used bronzer, highlighter, concealer, primer, powder, shimmerbricks. These things mostly didn't exist when I started wearing MU.  I had one foundation and one blush.  Then the company would drop one or the other, or both, and I would have to hunt down something similar and it was so stressful.  Now I can just open a drawer and I feel like the world is at my fingertips and I can do whatever look I want.  I love it!  And it is all so pretty to look at!  Loads of pink and pretty colours smiling back at me!   Hope I am not alone in this!  Crazy for perfume has been a lifetime addiction for me, so that is okay! 

Hi again ladies! Just got back from Quebec the other day, and I have some exciting news....

I'M OFFICIALLY DONE MY MASTERS!!!!!!!!!!! :D

What a relief! :P I'm taking an AQ course starting next week, but that's for professional certification rather than academics. I'm still super busy with all sorts of jobs, but it is pretty wonderful to not have any schoolwork left to do! That giant literacy project I was telling you about ended up at 120 pages. Ridiculous! Seriously, I do NOT understand why it doesn't count as a thesis. lol! But yay for being done! And Jerome is done as well, so we're planning on having a nothing weekend together, which we are both so excited for!!! :D

Congrats!!!! and what a beautiful day to go out for patio drinks to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, Jen!!! And super congrats on your Masters!!  I hope you both have a wonderful and super relaxing weekend!  You deserve it!

Hey congrats Jen.. Thats an awesome news... I wil l do a banana dance for you hun

Debi & Lou even we have discussed it too.. We both want to be cremated..and if we are on life suppert he wants me to let him go & I want him to keep me alive as long as I don't die so he can't legally marry anyone else.. he ha ha...

On life note I did huge multiple hauls this month & for the first time hide my stuff from  my Mr. Man as I thought that was not the right time...Have you guys ever done that?? Ohh just realized its just middle of the month... way to guilty street ...

lol Sonu!  We talked about life support to.  He wants to hang on for a while, I told him to pull the plug on me and if I didn't die, take a pillow and smother me when no one is looking, because I don't want to live with tubes or be a vegetable. I am content with life, though living until I am 100 would be way cool! I actually used to think everyone lived until their 100th birthday, blew out the candles on their cake and peeled over.  Everyone would expect it and everyone would be ready to catch your fall. I have NO idea where I came up with this, but it works for me!  However, if you hear of a man killing a woman who owns too much makeup show them this letter and let them know I gave him the okay!  Hehehehehe....

I have never hid my stash from hubby though right now I am paying for it all myself out of the tarot sellings, so he cannot complain about a thing!  I am pretty good about balancing things out and so clever it freaks him out.  Sell a bunch of decks and buy makeup or clothes or a coach bag.  Sell some books, get a DVD. Sell some no longer used DVD's and get a book, and so on. There is always trading and selling to be done. You just have to get creative about it and decide what is most important to you at that time!

My Husband never say anything to me either & that is THE problem.. He likes to see me getting dressed up & he says that shopping for me is a good investment as outcome is very beautiful ( Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder so true lol ) but this time even I couldn't justify my purchases & if he will be nicer again that will push me even more into guilt street.. :( ..  I am gonna cook at home for the rest of the month & no starbucks for me..

.The thing I hid is a The balm shady lady palette which I got on sale from sephora yesterday.. Yesterday was a big day as I got my QC stuff in the mail as well as Urban Decay things I ordered from Hautelook & a Nars package & then I went to sephora. I told him it will be just bath & body stuff but then I saw that palette & just bought it... So it was already cosmetics overdose for him dint want to bother him with another...

lol!! oh yes i want my coffin to have a pink silk interior! i was thinking hot pink though for me - you guys know how much i love bright colours! i hadn't thought about scented perfume though! hee hee! :) but to be serious it is an important thing to discuyss with your partner, no matter how morbid. me and nick don't actually have wills made up yet which we need to get on and do. some people get depressed doing this kind of thing but i am not so fussed.

oh and i think it is so great that you can now buy all these amazing goodies! make up has come such a long way over the yeras and there are now more colours and textures to choose from than there ever has been! i love it!

oh dear! well just skip the starbucks and maybe no meals out and that should soon make up for the money you spend on your goodies. i honestly think that as long as nobody gets in debt and your bills are paid that it is ok to treat yourself. i think men just get scared when they see us buying so much! lol! but i always spend more money on my make up and hair than on my clothing. so i save money that way - i prefer buying a new accessory than a new top and i tend to buy high end stuff so it lasts much longer too. hence why i don't buy as many clothes and stuff as my friends do :)

lol Lou~Yours has to be hot pink with glittery pigments all over you!  Will you be buried with any that are left over?  Heehee!  But yes, pink satin. It is a must!  How about CYY lips?  That would make a statement!  Neon lips in heaven! 

So, someone on the tarot board pm'ed me today to show me one deck that I sold for 250.00 is now being sold for 800.00.  I knew it and they were hoping I would get upset, but once it is in another person's hands who cares what they do?  Fair is fair and everyone had the chance to buy it. So this person did. However, it has been up for days and there isn't a single bid on it. Not even for 1 penny!  So doubtful it will sell!  Ah, life is too short to worry about this. I got what I wanted. One less deck at a good price (I only paid 35.00 for it) and more space and MU!

And plane man is out playing!  There is a local man who has a private plane and he flies over our neighbourhood and environs, doing flips and other fun stuff (please don't crash into my home!) and has been doing this for about 15 of the 19 years we have been here.  So in spring when we start to hear him we all shout "plane man!" 

Yep, we are dorks. But we are fun dorks!

and yes that is very silly to message you like that. you made a huge prfit and if this other person wants to be greedy then fair enough! and plane man sounds great!!
 

@elvenEyes

I keep reading about your tarot decks and am now wondering what makes a tarot deck worth a certain dollar value.  How is the value judged/determined or what makes one of higher value than another?

hey darlings im back! finally got internet! i love my new job it is awesome! just a quick hello will catch up tomorrow better! 

LOL Lou~We will be the most stylish corpses around! Hehehehe.... 

WWJD~I never bought any of these decks with the intention of selling them or making money, so was not even aware that some decks would go for such high prices while others would go for lower.  Basically they are not just used as a divination tool, but a collector's item, like art, baseball cards, books, etc.  The quality decks are full of gorgeous artwork, be it original, classical or bizarre, full of symbolism, and something many love to study.  Some of us collect MU for the same reason. Different colours, unique items, various looks they create.  Again, it really is art.  If I deck that was popular or unique in any way goes out of print (OOP) the price sky rockets and continues to do so as each year passes.  You never know what the market will be like, however.  Right now with the economy and being in such a recession decks you could have once sold for 500 or even 1000 won't sell unless they are 300 or under.  Many struggle to pull out 100.00 for a deck.  So, I feel lucky I have made what I have so far, under these circumstances. I could wait a few years to see if things get better, but they may not, they could get worse or the forum, which has been changing for the worse lately, could go under and I would not have that venue to sell on. Thus, making the most of the time I have!  The best way to describe it is that tarot decks have come a very long way in the past few decades and are considered little works of art, thus if a piece of "art" by artist, theme, publisher, etc. is desired, that person is willing to pay dearly for it!

@ElvenEyes -so with decks would you not touch it with your hands but instead store it to preserve the integrity, corners, etc like baseball cards or comics?  are a lot of decks particularly old? or are the highly valued ones printed in the last few decades as you mentioned?  as published artworks like prints would only a limited number of each deck be printed - I suppose so right?  There are so many niches of valued art eh? - very cool!

I personally have never owned an old deck. They are extremely rare, as Tarot originates from the Italian game Tarrocchi and were hand painted, no lamination and only a few remain. After all, they are just heavy paper.  But those who do have them have them stored in museums or glass cases with humidity/temperature controlled environments, rarely handled, and then only with glove and great care.  Some bear seals of the noble Italian familys of Visconti, Sforza, etc.  Mine are and were decks that have been printed in the past few decades or even just the past few years that collectors desire either to use or to keep as works of art. And yes, the LE number makes a huge difference. If only 100 or 200 were made and circulating around the world, they can become very rare. So do any decks that will never be printed again and were highly popular from the start.  It can really get overwhelming!  You never know what to expect!

@ElvenEyes - really cool.  Would love to see a hand painted set - sounds like I may need to seek this out in a Europe museum. Thanks for answering my curiosity !

oh i forgot to mention that i saw scream4 today and freaking loved it! such a god movie even though i was super scared!

I've never seen any of the Scream movies. What exactly are they about? 

Sold a deck for 100.00 and hoping to sell a few more today! That pays for my latest Zoya order. I am working on my grey, lilac and coral polishes, though I had to sneak in a pink one, too!  And apparently I have a blur on my camera lens!  Hehehehe....

well the scream films are basically horror stabbing kinda films - but back in the 90's when i think the first one came out it was very different to other horror movies out there and very good. i still love it but nick doesn't think it has aged well which is sad :(

your zoya's are making me drool!!! sooo pretty!

I remember seeing loads of commercials when they came out and the ones for "I know what you did last summer" or are those the same ones?  Jennifer Love Hewitt, phones, screaming?  lol 

I am ransacking my tarot drawers and just claimed another for "eyes".  Now I have 4 of the 5.  (Poor beloved decks getting shoved in boxes!  Hehehehe..)  One for face, lips, eyes and nails!  The last is filled with tarot, plus 3 boxes, 1 other drawer and a whole 6 drawer lingerie chest.  Sigh.  And how did I get so many eye things?  I thought I had a handle on that one! I have to do some clever rearranging before the grand reveal!  I'm so tired, though. I think I have tarot selling burnout.  I won't put anything else up until what is up already sells. Then I am going to slow down to a snail's pace and pick at my collection until it is tweaked.  I have way, way too much. Blah.  Time to huddle in a corner with a book!  Upstairs, Downstairs and The Borgias are on tonight. Yay!

@ElvenEyes - So I'm going to ask the obvious question.  Why is it now you are getting rid of all your Tarot decks? Money for makeup I understand, but are you no longer interested in Tarot?

Oh no.  I had way too many decks.  Over 600 decks to be exact! I had too many that I didn't use and too many backups. I had already decided I was going to trim down in a few years and just got to the point where I didn't feel like waiting anymore, so finally started the deep plunge.  It is overwhelming, but I will still have about 200 decks when I am done.  When I am 80 I hope to have that down to 50 or even 30.  Hehehe.....  It is a long road still...and it doesn't help that I keep buying new ones that are coming out that I connect to more.  Paying for the makeup is just a perk!  The plan was thought out long before I decided to get hooked, or found Specktra and the wonderful world of YouTube gurus! 

wow 600! that is a collection. not that i should be so surprised with your dedicated drawers of new makeup and polishes; and the rate you 'haul' at. kudos to you for selling them and passing them on to others to enjoy. Now I understand your 'must sell a deck' dedication. Keep on keep on ...

Jenn- Congratulations on your masters. I know that is a lot of pressure off of you with getting those big projects done.

Sally--so glad you are liking your new job and things are going well.

Lou--I haven't been on Adina's site in some time. I miss her. I need to check it out.

Debi--when you get your Sephora haul you know we love to drool over your pics of the goodies so please share with us.

Great you've sold some more.

And you guys on your plans for your everafter, I have no idea. You would think I would since I will be 49 this year and my father passed away at 50. My hubby's dad bought a goup of plots years ago so we have that. We just tease each other nothing ever serious about it. When my hubby was very young his dr told him he was very healthy and will live to be126. I think he really believes:) Actually his grandmother passed away right before her 101st b-day and his grandfather on his mom's side was 96 when he passed. My hubby always says he figures I'll kill over given my family record and he can upgrade. I told him then to cremated and put me in a vase on top of the headboard then. I told him the other day he could just have me cremated and put me in with Ishmaels' (my doggie) ashes as that is what I am going to do when he passes.

My mother adored roses and had lots of rose bushes in her yard. So when she pass four years ago we picked a casket that was a lovely soft rose color with beautiful matching interior. if I'm remembering correctly there was a small rose in a just a slight darker rose color near each corner. It sounds kind of tacky but it was quite elegant and so very much her.

I never made it to Sephora so I must go by the 21st. I like when they do the 20% off but oh well every bit helps.

Oh Debi, thanks for the NARS Hungry Heart review. I'm glad it is not all glittery so I will have to check that out.

I have got to stay off of the Chanel threads. They have me drooling over there and I still cannot get that damn Miami Peach n/p out of my head. i am still playing with a gazillion color combo but sadly nothing.

Forgot who asked this, I'm so far behind. But yes I hate to admit it but I have slipped bags and boxes from UPS in and hidden them away taking things out bit by bit. I never used to do this or even think that I ever would but for the last few years I am guilty of doing this here and there. I'm not quite sure why, probably hubby's comments on my spending habits and non-stop shopping. I don't think he gets that I buy for everyone in the house so it does seem like a lot.

Lou--I aso like quality items so on clothing I wait a bit when things first come out hoping to catch them at a discount. Since I don't work outside the home I don't go super high end though. I can do well with quality classic casualy pieces that will last and wear well. I am a bargin shopper. But when it comes to my makeup and hair just can't do it. I mean I don't go and get a $150--$200 haircut. But I figure anywhere from $60--$75 is reasonable. I have been trying to do my base color myself and then go get highlights and lowlights. So I guess that helps a bit. That usually saves anywhere from $75-$100.  I also am certainly not getting any younger which adds to my skincare cost. I am not going to go to these dinners with him wearing cheap crappy makeup. It's intimidating enough with the men who are showing off their new trophy wives. I can't compete with them so I may as well feel as good as I can. I hate those social things anyway. They make me uncomfortable as I am pretty shy so I basically role-playI hate those social things anyway.  through them

I have got to stay off of the Chanel threads. They have me drooling over there and I still cannot get that damn Miami Peach n/p out of my head. i am still playing with a gazillion color combo but sadly nothing.

 

 

Forgot who asked this, I'm so far behind. But yes I hate to admit it but I have slipped bags and boxes from UPS in and hidden them away taking things out bit by bit. I never used to do this or even think that I ever would but for the last few years I am guilty of doing this here and there. I'm not quite sure why, probably hubby's comments on my spending habits and non-stop shopping. I don't think he gets that I buy for everyone in the house so it does seem like a lot.

 

Lou--I aso like quality items so on clothing I wait a bit when things first come out hoping to catch them at a discount. Since I don't work outside the home I don't go super high end though. I can do well with quality classic casualy pieces that will last and wear well. I am a bargin shopper. But when it comes to my makeup and hair just can't do it. I mean I don't go and get a $150--$200 haircut. But I figure anywhere from $60--$75 is reasonable. I have been trying to do my base color myself and then go get highlights and lowlights. So I guess that helps a bit. That usually saves anywhere from $75-$100.  I also am certainly not getting any younger which adds to my skincare cost. I am not going to go to these dinners with him wearing cheap crappy makeup. It's intimidating enough with the men who are showing off their new trophy wives. I can't compete with them so I may as well feel as good as I can. I hate those social things anyway. They make me uncomfortable as I am pretty shy so I basically role-playI hate those social things anyway.  through them     

oh that is like me! i will find some clothes that i want and then wait for them to go on sale! plus we have a site in the uk called brandalley where you can buy designer clothes for almost half price. sometimes they are from past seasons but that never botheres me. rthey do shoes and accessories too! and i spend quite ab bit on my hair but that is only because i am so fussy with it! and my hairdresser is amazing and so sweet, she is always giving me products to try out and she always makes sure my hair olooks perfect. speaking of which i need my highlights doing wityhin the next month! i'm getting some roots going on! :(

and i am sure you look bneautiful! sod the trophy wives!!
