What's with the makeup?

This morning, one of my coworkers asked me "What's with the makeup?" in an accusatory tone.

"Makeup?"

"Yeah, the eye-liner or whatever."

"It's just mascara, and I always wear it."

"Oh," he says, like he's saying "riiiiiight, sure you do." Like I was up to something.

I never go out of the house without mascara. So what's with the grilling?

I just got a new tube of mascara, so it is probably thicker than usual, and I am wearing lipstick, which I do sometimes.

A Plea from the Polar Bears

Come on with the global warming already. Enough!

Catching up again

OK, I know, it has been a while since I blogged. There's been a lot going on, but nothing I felt like writing about.

I just got back (OK, it was actually four days ago) from a quick weekend trip to Boston to visit Kevin and Dan and Felix. So much fun. I just missed snow both coming and going. It was in the 60s and we had time to visit the Isabella Stewart Gardener Art Museum and cook duck a l'orange on Friday, then we drove to Maine on Saturday, so I got to see three states in one day because we had to pass through New Hampshire, where you're allowed to buy liquor at state-run booze barns and you don't have to wear a seat belt in the car. Live Free or Die indeed!

The rocky Maine coast is gorgeous, and even though we didn't find Walker Ranch and flip off the Bush family, we had a lovely day and ate lobster rolls.

On Sunday, we had a hard time leaving the apartment because Wii fever struck, but we made it out for dim sum in Chinatown, then back home for more Mario Kart, mainly getting beaten by 10-year-olds who have much faster hand-eye coordination.

Here are some pictures:
The handsome Felix.

Dan & Kevin in Maine.

Me at the North Atlantic.

A lighthouse on the coast.

And back in Boston, the building where the Declaration of Independence was read to the community from this balcony. Ahh, history.
