Happy Mother's Day!

What women in history do you look up to?

Georgina Duchess of Devonshire is the love of my life! I want to be just like her!

After a series of events I finally went and got contacts. And... It is the best thing I have ever done!!!

But getting them in is the hardest thing I've ever done. I can get the right one in, but not the left!!


I told my optometrist that I got into grad school!!!

I spent close to three hundred dollars on makeup these past few days. I've been meaning to walk over to Chanel for years now, whatever cosmetics I had accumulated before was embarrassing and of an embarrassing quality.

God, I finally feel amazing. I love it!!!

And then I went overboard and got twenty million makeup brushes. (Because you know, brushes...)

But what about Dior? Dior or Chanel?

Ever since I saw Chanel's eye pencils, I was smitten.

That's the one last thing I have to get, the pencil, maybe next week. 

The website I tutor through, Wyzant, asked me to write an article for their help sections about vocabulary learning strategies. So I did.

So I ran over my phone with my car. It is possible and not really hard to do. Here is how I did it. 

I was coming back from painting class and it had been snowing by then. All the roads were clear except our hill, of course. It was covered completely, roads and everything, by a couple of inches. So the good winter person that I am I parked downhill by the church, and trudged up. 

That night I couldn't find my phone, but I figured it was in the car. I couldn't find the phone in my car either because I found it in the parking lot later that day. 

It fell out of my half open bag as I was crossing the lot, the next morning when I was bringing my car uphill I ran right over the phone. Got home, looked some more for the yet to be found phone and having concluded my efforts, tied a sting to the right table leg while pronouncing my "this is lost, please give it back" russian spell. Some time later dad walked into the kitchen and convinced me to go look for the phone in the parking lot. Where it was subsequently found with the screen shattered, but in perfect working order. There was no end to my fascination! 

My do-it-yourself iphone screen replacement kit arrived in two days. As soon as the box came I sat down to work. I had to take apart the entire phone, replace the screen and put everything back together. Which I did in record time of 7+ hours. And I am not even exaggerating!!! I sat down sometime in the morning and remember getting up at seven pm when it was finally finished, except for the screw that I dropped. To say that I was shaking like a leaf in fear of ruining a screw especially, is to say nothing at all. 

The other day when coming back from my Starbucks writing extravaganza I had a flat tire. The tire was repumped and checked out and there seemed nothing wrong with it! How can that be, to be flat at one point and not be flat again? That has a hard time registering in my overworked by iphone repair brain. 

Opened the skiing season last week blue faced and exhausted. Cannot wait to go this week! Its going to be good!

Mom: Are you coming to Hibachi tomorrow with us and our friends? We won't be meeting for New Year's with them so its kind of a Happy New Year celebration. 

Me: If I think of something that I want to wear then I might. 


And so we go on...

P.S. The Bach Christmas is so good you guys should find it on youtube. Christmas is over, you say? There is still Eastern Orthodox Christmas on January 7th!!! Coming right up. 

P.P.S http://youtu.be/VVeluHdzcBY wo hours and thirty minutes long. 

I will say that my big wish for 2013 is to ride horses. I have other, equally big and bigger, wishes, but this one is the most refreshing! 

I just googled for my favorite what to wear running tool and got this instead:
