How to paint your face on...lesson 1

After my friend Lindsey rang in the new year in Atlanta, she was gracious enough to accompany me to a "make-up lesson." As many of you know, I haven't quite found a close relationship with any possible mainstream misses like Mary Kay, Loreal, or Cover Girl. My closest relationship has occurred with a funny contraption that hugs my eyelashes together to make them salute you proper. So... I was excited to get a lesson for my potential wedding makeup. Needless to say, I feel like I'm a real woman now. I bought a couple staples, and my skin seems to like this organic line--Aveda. I wear significantly less than was brushed onto me during the lesson, but hey, I'm a naaturraalll woooooooman. Aretha knows what I'm talkin bout! Um... is she trying to glue that foam to her eye? This was one the first coat of paint yall Wait, I'm suppose to "line" my eyes and lips?? Who has time for that when you eat like me? Lindsey was so serene. It was l

Snow days and Sick days

God must have been sick of me whining about missing out on the Christmas snow that took place without me, so He just showed me how much he loves me with LOTS of snow the past couple of days. We got about 6-8 inches here in Atlanta Sunday night into Monday night. Unfortunately, a layer of ice made it a little tough to make snow angels and snow(o)men, but Matthew, his brother Kevin and his friend Helen and I all had fun trekking around in the snowing beautiful park. Come to find out, my mother, sister and Steven have all been battling a 24 hour stomach bug during the snow days, and Matthew also spent the night in the bathroom feeling miserable. I guess if we are all going to be cooped up in various homes we might as well take our sick days with our snow days. I'm just praying my immune system can hold out so that I feel okay my first week teaching. Here's to Flintstone vitamins, Airborne, and echinacea!  Hope you are feeling good and enjoying God's white gift. What is it abo

Happy 2011

This will be a year to remember for sure. With all the births, weddings, and career changes, 2011 is bound to be an excellent year for the Blair/Smith family. I was blessed enough to ring it in with some of my favorite people. Lindsey and her friend Adrienne came into Atlanta, and Brittany, James Matthew and I had a blast with them at a great restaurant Two Urban Licks  when the clock struck twelve. Actually we only got seated because my fiance has a last name commonly confused with others. We really didn't take someone seat on purpose, but upon stating the entire Smith party was present, we were seated as if we were VIP guests. Our waitress didn't seem to happy to be working though, nor did the woman serving us late night beverages at Cafe Intermezzo  later on in the evening. Come to think of it, some people might think it wasn't a great evening at all, but when your company is that which I had, it seems like a perfect evening despite the attitude of those around you. :)
