Hello, hello!
Greetings from my igloo!
Ha, ha, I wish I was joking.
Lots has happened since my last post, but really, the main thing is that Pittsburgh got completely snowed upon this past weekend. The same weekend my little sister decided to stop by my little apartment to visit for the weekend. It was SO nice to see her and we had an exceptionally great time just chillin’ out. It was nice to have someone snowed in with! I took no pictures because, frankly, neither of us were picture ready in our hobo clothes while watching movies all day.
She left on Sunday (and safely made it back to school) and I was left on my own. School was canceled and I was getting stir crazy. Once I figured out that school would be canceled for the rest of the week, I made a run for DC in the break of the weather. You see, storm number 2 was on it’s way and there was no way that I wanted to be stuck in my apartment alone so I hightailed it to DC to visit Dan. I made it just in time because we had a freakin’ blizzard here yesterday – oh me, oh my.
The best part was shoveling yesterday afternoon. I love a good cardio workout yet one that is useful (not like the dreadmill where I run and run and go no where except enhance my fitness). We also made it a point to shovel the driveway of the old man across the street because he always waves and says “Hello” whenever we see him. Such a nice man and now he has a clear driveway and walkway! 
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about this blog. I know I’ve always dabbled with the thought of changing the name and the focus and soon, I may do just that. I’ve changed a lot since this little blog started and I may want to go with my life changes. We’ll see.
Also… today is February 11, 2010 and my mom’s birthday! Yipeeee! Mom, if you’re reading, have a happy, happy birthday!
Hope you’re having a safe and warm week! Oh, and if you live in Florida, wanna switch homes for a little?! I’m looking at you…

Happy Birthday Julie’s Mom!!!
I like the name “Wearing Mascara” but understand if it doesn’t feel right the desire to change it.
Glad you are surviving the weather. I’m stuck in Maine for another few days because of all the canceled flights.

Oh – ‘dreadmill’. Amazing. Proper amazing. And, if that was a typo, then it’s even more amazing. Either way, did I mention, amazing? I wish I was snowed in my fella

Happy Birthday momma. Florida got a little colder in the past couple of days…55 degrees right now.
I do miss the snow. Not the 5 months of coldness, but the 2 weeks of snow. And why didn’t it snow like that during our last semester so we could miss an entire week of class!? However, you know we wouldn’t of gotten work done.

I just came across your blog from another blog and am so happy I did. I love your look on things and writing style. I can’t wait to read more! And on a mascara note-I love that this is your theme because I don’t wear much make up, but if I do it’s mascara! I love the stuff.
