What's the best beauty advice you've ever received?
Less is more.
Now that I've grown up, my makeup is minimal and I feel pretty even on my bad days.
How do you keep calm?

Patron and a cigarette.
He's starting to freak me out a bit.
First lemme give you a little background on who this person is. I met him back in the fall of 2006. I was dating like 3 people at the time and I'm pretty sure he knew that. He wasn't looking for a girlfriend...he was looking for more of a fuck buddy. He was real aggressive and I wasn't sure if that was something that I wanted to get myself into. We remained friends, but as far as far as keeping in touch, it's been minimal. He doesn't live here. He comes to Seattle every so often and is assigned here for maybe 2 months at a time.
Now bringing you back a little bit more- come January 07 I started talking to Mr Cali again so pretty much when that happened is when I kissed any other male in my life goodbye. Including DC. We'll call him DC cuz he actually lives near the the border of Washington DC and North Carolina.
Whenever I signed on to IM for Mr. Cali, DC would be on sometimes. So DC was well aware that Mr Cali is back in my life....
Besides IM's and maybe a few (less than 5) random texts from DC through the beginning of 2007, I would say it's safe to consider this friendship-whatever done. Even when DC mentioned he might be in Seattle, I never asked when. I never said let's meet up or hang out or make sure you call me.
I let that shit fade.
So, come the end of 2007, I took a few minutes to clear my phone and erase #'s that I feel I will never use. His being one of them. I even went as far as deleting him from my myspace because I thought you know I really don't care to have him know anything about me at this point. Not because we are bad terms or anything but just cuz.
Well a couple of days prior to me going to California a couple of weeks ago I recieve this text. It's from DC. I knew it was him because of the way he talks and the area code.
The texts were simple such as you still alive...
I responded yes I'm at work. Then he texted:" have you found your Bobby yet?" He's referring to Bobby Brown because I've always joked around before saying I'm looking for someone who will play Bobby while I 'll play Whitney....
I replied yes....I'm going to California tomorrow. Then he was like oh....that guy....too bad you're off the market. I stretched the truth just a tad and replied-yea we're in love.....
Well, you know I didn't expect to hear anything from him. Because I don't....I've been talking to Mr. Cali for over a year now and DC is well aware and possibly he could figure it out that maybe just maybe Mr. Cali means something to me.
I believe my phone went off when I was in California. I'm not totally sure it was him because I had like 3 weird area codes on my phone that day from telemarketers but one was a 702 area code.Ok..why would you call me when I just said I'd be in Cali this weekend....why would I take the time to answer and strike up a conversation with you when I'm spending time with this guy that I love and I haven't seen all month....
Then this week I get this text: How was San Fran?
I didn't respond because first off I'm thinking you dumb ass, I wasn't in San Fran...then the next thought is he doesn't need to know my bid-ness when I told his ass 2 weeks ago that we're in love...blah blah...and thirdly- he's not a Verizon customer and I'm not wasting a text on a some bullshit.
Then yesterday while I was at work...I was on the phone with Mr. Cali then I hear my texts alert go off. It's DC. It says...Whatcha doing? I'm thinking muh fucker, working??? Again didn't respond.
Then at 12:45am last night..I get another text...there?
ok..this one scares me. There? There, where? There at home? There in California? What the fuck does that mean? I haven' responded and I have no intentions of doing so. But now I'm starting to wonder if he's back in Seattle and feels so inclined to try and contact me for what reasons I'm not sure.
Hey look- there are times Mr. Cali does something maybe not intentionally that hurts me or upsets me or something....I complain, yada, yada...but with a long distance relationship...I don't know. Last night we were on the phone for like four hours or 5 hours. We spent our Saturday night on the phone with one another...hmmm....All the other times...we IM, video chats from before..we once got cyber drunk...HAHA, um...and again long late night talks....
Well, did DC ever do that shit???????? Would he ever?
He tries to act like Mr Cali is such an asshole and he be hating on the fact that Mr. Cali is Filipino and I chose a Filipino over a Latino...kinda like the way some black girls think white girls take all the good black men..you know? OH NO- the Filipino's are taking all the good Latina women...call someone who fucking cares.
Hey DC- don't question why I would fly to see Mr. Cali, Don't call me over a year too late and think that I would be interested in hanging out with you cuz we know your definition of hanging out. If you haven't figured it out yet. I'm not that girl. I want more. I'm not the casual hey when you're in town..please call me so we can have casual sex.
Please do us both a favor and erase my number.
What was the best movie you saw (in the theater or on DVD) you saw this weekend?
Last Sunday I had a hot date with myself. I cooked myself dinner and I rented the movie The Holiday. It had a nice ending. No- I didn't put out.
What was the last article of clothing you purchased? Was it a necessity or an indulgence?
Well I was Vegas for New Years. I didn't know what to wear that night. It was cold and I didn't want to freeze my butt of. Someone once told me that when you try things on in a store, try things that you think wouldnt look good on you because chances are it'll look fabulous on you.
My friend and I were in Express. There was this sweater dress on the manniquin and I thought you know those colors would look good on me.
It was definitely different from what I would usually get. but It looked good. It hugged in all the right places and the next day, I wore it with jeans too. But it wasn't on sale. And I didn't need it.
It was definitely an indulgence.
What is your favorite kitchen tool?
Submitted by smitty.
OH- it's my stainless steel All-Clad pan. I sear steaks in it, salmon..I even saute in it. Goes from the stove top to oven...I LOVE IT.
What is the best meal you've ever eaten at a restaurant?
This is tough.
But thinking back to my little travels in 2007, I would say there's this place in Miami called Sagua's. It's a Cuban diner and I ordered Cuban rice and beans with Roast Chicken and some flan....It came with a soft ass roll and I washed it down with a diet pepsi. That was the best fucking meal ever only because it was simple food that tasted great. You don't have to spend 60.00 to get a great meal. I think my tab was 11.50 or something....
I have been drinking and drunk blogging may or may not occur tonight.
And I'm still sad.
I went to bed last night at 8:30 in hopes that he'd call sometime later in the night. But nothing. I know he had his daughter last night so the chances of him falling asleep with her are high but still.
5 minutes is all it takes to say Thank you, that was nice of you.
