I was totally going to do a Halloween look, however my future sister-in-law and neices showed up for Trick-or-Treating, way earlier than I expected. That's okay, though, I'll do it tomorrow and my friends will enjoy it for Rock Band 2. :o)

I wanted to wear this Duo last night, but didn't have time, so I did it tonight, and had time to video it!!!

This was FUN!!!

Meez 3D avatar avatars games

I've seen these on the BEA page and decided to take the time to create one. I typically play Lead Guitar on Rock Band and my girl is very similarly dressed... she's only missing the white pin stripes in her jacket & bermudas! Oh, and I do love me some LG cell phones.

We got a new PC!!!

Merry early Christmas to us, Merry early Christmas, to us...

Our new baby:
Photobucket
HP Pavilion Elite Desktop 2.4GHz, 1TB, 24" LCD

Brad & I had been talking about this for quite a while. Our current PC, which I got when I went to college, is 5 years old and just slower than poo sometimes. This is why I DREAD editing videos in Windows Movie Maker, for YouTube. You can hear the thing gurgling and it kinda locks up and you have to wait for it to be quite again, or you really can't do much in WMM. Our old PC didn't even have 1GB RAM, this one has 6GB! Old: 80GB HD, New: 1TB (~1,000GB). Old has 2.8GHz single core, new is 2.4GHz QUAD core! Old: 19" standard LCD, New: 24" widescreen brightview LCD, that rotates! And yea, the new one was half the price of the old one!

So anyways, Brad & I were talking about this, while I was at work, last night. We decided it was almost November and this was by far the best price and what we really wanted. He decided to call and see how many they had left, which was 5. He kinda freaked out and figured we needed to go TODAY and not wait until the weekend. Okay, whatever. He didn't think of this until AFTER I had taken a shower and washed all my make-up off. Gurrr. So, I had to do my hair and re-do my make-up. The store (Sam's Club) was an hour away, so by the time we went there and got it, went to lunch at Ruby Tuesday's and got done setting it up and playing around, I didn't get to bed til after 4p! I was up at 9:30p for work, so I'm a tad tired.

I was able to take some quick shots of my make-up look (the one I wore to get the PC) before we left, so here's a rundown:

Face:
MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Liquid - NC25
LTM Powder - N3
MAC Blush - Pink Swoon
MAC Iridescent Powder - Belightful

Eyes:
BE Brow Color - DB/MB
MAC Paint Pot - Bare Study
MAC Eyeshadows:
- Crystal Avalanche (Brow Bone)
- Electra (Lid)
- Pandemonium (Crease & Lower Lash Line)
- Black Tied (Outer V)
MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack (Upper Lash Line & Inner Rim)
Clinique Lash Power - Black Onyx

Lips:
Paula's Choice Lip Liner - Petal
MAC Lipstick - Fast Thrill
MAC Lipglass - Cultureclash

Update...

In case you've been wondering, why I disappeared off the map... DF and I went to St. Louis on the 17th and last week I worked day shift, so I was entirely exhausted and even fell asleep at 7pm a few days! I'm not sure how normal this week is going to be because DF is laid off work for a week. They are SUPER slow, so they laid the entire plant (minus salary employees) this week and the last 2 weeks of Nov. This week he doesn't get to collect unemployment, but the next 2, he will. It won't be much, but some is better than none.

I really miss "me" time. I wish I had more time to record vid's and take pics and what-not. I have a few vid's on my pc, but I have yet to edit them, because I just can't seem to find the time. DF seems to get mad if I'm on the PC too long. Too bad I couldn't do them at work, hehe.

I used to be able to just tell him to go play Halo for a while, but he hasn't been into it lately. I think he got frustrated at our internet (claims it's too slow, but there's really no other options for us) and gave up. It's now deer season, but he doesn't like going during the week. I can't send him off to play Halo anymore, anyways... Friday, he was going to play that or GUN, but our poor XBOX showed 3 flashing quarters. AHHHH!!! I was on the phone to XBOX FOREVER! I could barely understand the guy and I was trying to update our address, as I had moved since I bought it, but it wouldn't take our address. We have so many friggin problems with our address. Our street can be spelt plenty of ways, and then all of our town has P.O. Boxes, so it shows our zip code as the post office and UPS/FedEx/DHL won't ship to the Post Office, yadda, yadda, PITA! I told him to forget about it because my parents live at the old address, I can pick up crap from there. Then I had to update my email... I had to say everything like "A as in Apple" "B as in Brandon" "C as in Cat" "D as in Dog" "N as in..................Norman?" LOL, but we got that taken care of. My XBOX (mfg date 12-06-2005) was out of warranty, but they'll fix it for free (or send us a new one) b/c of the 3 red quarters. I hate when the automated thing says "try all these troubleshooting things" and then the idiot guy asks me to do them again. I tried everything, just fix the durn thing, already. So they are supposed to send us a UPS PrePaid label, then I have to pack it up good, give it to my mom, so the UPS guy that stops by her work can pick it up, be without it for 2-3 weeks, and then it will be delivered to my parents house, which I have to then pick it up. Gurrr... OH!!!! And to make things better... I have a 20GB HD for it, so my friend, Sarah, brought over her 360, and we were gonna play RockBand2. Well, when I got RB2, I was able to transfer the org. RB songs (or most of them) to my HD buy purchasing a license... THEY WEREN'T ON THE HD!!! So, when I get my XBOX back, I apparently have to repurchase the license (400 XBOX pts ~$5). What a crock! The license must be saved to my XBOX not the HD. Gurrrr!!!!

10.15.08 - BE Free

I got the notion to wear this kit sometime last night... I'm not really sure why it popped into my head, so while I was cleaning my brushes from last night, (I usually am in too big of a hurry to clean them right after I use them, so I clean them when I get home from work) I put away yesterdays colors (Smoky V Eye, didn't have time to take pics, sorry) I grabbed these colors. I wore basically the whole kit, but a different mascara... I kinda forgot (until now) Classic came with it and I used Brushless. Not that I thought it came with it either, I just grabbed a BE one, hehe.

BE Foundation - FL/MB
BE Bisque - Orig/Summer

I am so entirely...

READY FOR THE WEEKEND!
UGH, work has stinked this week. I'm lazy because it's so friggin' humid out! It's just past 5:30a and it's finally down to 66°! I can't wait for the rain, so it cools down!

We're leaving for St. Louis, Friday. :o) Yippie! I'm not sure what the exact plans are but I think I'll get home around 8-10 (depending when I get off work), get some sleep, get up, take a shower, etc. and leave. It takes 2 1/2-3 hours to get there, which isn't too bad of a trip. We plan to go to the Galleria, and a few other places and we'll check into the hotel to change and tidy up for dinner reservations at 9p. I made them late so we have plenty of time to get over there and do some shopping. If we don't finish the mall shopping Friday, we can on Saturday. Saturday's plans are to go to St. Louis Mills Mall to Cabelas and whatever other stores are there. We need to stop by a hobby shop (so DF can look at toys for his Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3), Target (to get some of their awesome chips) & Sam's Club (for groceries and such). As for the mall, I want to look for a few clothes and go to, duh, the MAC Store! We're staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and eating dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I've been there before, with my mom for a banquet type thing. We didn't pay, but I know it's not cheap! This will be Brad & I's most expensive meal, yet!

Why the elaborate weekend, you ask? On Wednesday, October 15th, Brad & I will have been dating for 3 years. :o) Just a day less than 8 months until our wedding! :-D

Friday Night: Familiar Dysfunction

So it's almost 5:30a, and I'm still up. Not unusual, because I try to keep my weekday schedule, on the weekends. Brad and I cleaned house, after work, because my Aunt & Uncle are up from Texas, and they wanted to see my makeup table. We didn't get to bed until about 11:30a and if we didn't have late night plans (the girls coming over), we would have just stayed up. I slept til 4:30p and he slept till 5:15p. I had all intentions of getting up, doing my hair and doing a vid on my make-up... but apparently time escaped me. I even left the friggin' house without mascara! Ugh! My family all met at the Golf Course (where we're having our wedding reception) and had dinner. They won't be catering our reception, but they do a dinner on Fridays. My grandma said she paid, so we all showed up. Hehe. It was my parents, Aunt & Uncle, grandma, brother & sister-in-law, Brad and I. At dinner, while everyone was eating salad (which I skipped because they didn't have a dressing I liked) I transfered my brother's old phone pictures & sounds to a memory card and to his new phone. I had to use my dad's because his is a 1gb and mine is a 4, which my brother's old phone doesn't support. After dinner, I invited everyone to the house, but of course, grandma didn't want to come and my brother & sister-in-law have never been here. We've lived here for almost 2 years. ((Long story.)) After complaining I have too much make-up (as if I didn't know I was addicted) and playing in some of it, my parents and my Aunt & Uncle got the notion to play... Rock Band! My Uncle has Guitar Hero for Wii, so he actually KNEW what to do. What a chore teaching 50+ year olds how to play. My mom started on drums, dad on bass and my Uncle on guitar. At one point my Aunt was on guitar, mom on bass and my uncle playing two drums and my dad the other two and the foot pedal! Sadly they weren't doing half bad! I sung for a while and then let dad while my Aunt & Mom played drums, together. What a riot. Dad singing... HaHa! It was getting close to midnight and Sarah & Kara were headed out when Kara's brother's car (which she was driving) overheated. I had to go get the girls and they stayed til about 4:30a, and I had to take them home. So now, I've washed my face and taken my contacts out and am going to go sleep for a while... We shall see what tomorrow brings... A Rock-Band Encore from the Rohr-Astacios? Or as my cousin called our family band... Familiar Dysfunction.
