I’m testing the speech function On my telephone to see if i can use this for blogging rather than type everything. I do have to annunciate in order for this to pick up i’m saying. I also noticed it cannot tell i need a capital i. Kind of fun. Don’t see myself using it frequently though. I think i can type faster than i can speak out, read and edit. It might be nice if something strikes my mind in the car, or if thor has something to say. Enough for now so good night.

8 lipglosses–four are duplicate colors that i’ve either bought by accident or because i couldn’t find the one i wanted

various hair clips and accessories most of which don’t do what i thought they would when purchased

Jennifer, your large quantities of similar lip gloss and eyeshadow says two things: You are loyal and able to give love without requiring something new in return, only asking the object of your affection to be the thing that it is–because that is why you loved it in the first place. You also want to surround yourself in the things you love on all four sides.

Your foundation and blush say that you aren’t too concerned about the facade you present to the world. What you see is what you get. Don’t like it? Too bad. But you do put yourself together well, and make sure you have the tools you need.

Your mascara, liners, and eyebrow accessories say that you believe there is a right and wrong way to do things, and you are serious about things being done properly. Your failed hair purchases feed into that showing that you are willing to take risks, and never throw away ideas because you might find a use for them at a later date.

Maybe it is being an only child, or maybe it is being a Capricorn, but I have always had an over-developed sense of singularity. That is, I have always understood that, in life, some roads you can only walk alone.

I find that it is easy to share joy. Joy radiates a corona like the sun. Joy is inclusive and draws people in, pain isolates.

Sure, when we are in pain we can lean on friends, but pain drains and distracts. Pain is solitary, and ultimately we must find our own ways out of it. Others can lighten the load, but no one can remove it entirely. It’s all down to you in the end.

Last night, my 4 year old was talking. Thoughtfully, he said, ” Mama, going to school is like being alone.”

I questioned him several times, trying to understand what he meant, or suss out if he even understood the meanings of the words he was saying. Finally, he broke my heart.

He sighed and tilted his head, considered my input that at school he was surrounded by friends, then said, “When you take me to school, you take me in alone. Then I am in the room alone. I am with my friends alone. It is just me, in there by myself. Without you. I am alone.”

It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t mean. It wasn’t an indictment. It was just a fact. A heartbreaking fact I hoped he would be much older before he realized. But he is an only child and much more ancient Roman than a Dane.

Kim reminded me that a long, long time ago, on a web forum far, far away, I used to do personality readings based on the contents of your makeup bag. It’s like reading tea leaves, only more accurate. I am opening this up to the first ten comments.

You tell me what you have in your makeup bag, or the contents of the makeup carry-all in your purse, and Madame Stylista will tell you your fortune.
