I literally just climbed out of bed, walked down the hallway to my office, plopped down in my chair, and no more than two seconds later, el jefe hopped in my lap and demanded that I get to work, “MEOW!” [read: ASAP!], with the first order of business being 15 minutes of petting.

So here I am trying to type “giod mborning” with 20 pounds of tabby draped over my forearms…

For the record, not easy to do.

Not much going on today. All I want to do is take it easy, watch some TV, maybe go to a movie and play with the new Urban Decay Vice Palette.

I’ve also been wanting to take a walk around downtown Novato with my camera, so I may do that this afternoon. It’s a quaint little shopping area with some cute retail landscaping, like hanging flower baskets and planters on windowsills. I haven’t taken a walking tour with my camera in a while, and I’ve got an itchy shutter finger. 🙂

Hope you’re having a good weekend so far. Don’t forget to enter this weekend’s Sephora eCard giveaway before you jet.

What folks are saying…

“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! Thank you again.”

“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane

“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel

“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)

“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
