Grrrrllllll..... I gotta get my her did

I read Greta's blog this morning and I about cried.  I can't believe how big she has gotten.  When she was first hatched, her little hands, feet and underpants were so tiny!  I remember holding her in a reclining chair (when she was stationed at the NASA NICU, complete with magic space instruments and flux capacitance) I could just prop her on my arm like a little baby puppy.

Greta is practically a teenager now.  I'm holding my breath until she is asking for a cell phone, Pink Victoria's Secret sweatpants and Justin Bieber perfume.  In the mean time, Greta will be slipped shrinking serum to remain small and porky.  The video posted on YouTube this morning by her momma featured Greta doing her morning calisthenics AKA "Let's Get Physical" with Oliva Newton-John.

I'm been looking for baby leg warmers for Greta Stink-Stink however, I think a pair of my old ankle socks would be just fine.  Paired nicely with a magical cape with a big letter G on it, Greta will be the best dressed baby in Hoosier country.

Today at 2 PM is my hair and makeup trial for the wedding.  I'm a bit nervous; I've seen some TRASHY ASS brides, donned in purple eyeshadow and extreme lipliner/frosty gloss.

I've given the makeup artist several photos of what I like and what I don't like.  Although this may surprise you, I am particular about my makeup.  Every morning before work I take the time to apply my makeup so it looks fresh and clean.  A smoky eye is not ideal for cubicle county.  Actually, now that I think about it, there are a few chics in my office that could use a little mascara and concealer.  Below are a list of my must haves for a fresh face:

MAC Studio fix foundation, applied with a damp sponge
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
Clinique Eye Duo shadow in Butter Pecan
L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in Black (the best)
Revlon Shadow Wear eyeliner in Brown
MAC lipliner in Whirl, BLENDED.... this is key so you don't look like a whore
MAC lipglass in Viva Glam V

Seriously, this takes 15 minutes.  Followed by a nice blow dry and some hairspray, I'm all set.  This may be considered high maintenance however, I don't want to look like a homeless trash ball in front of customers.

To top of my morning routine, a spritz of Chanel Chance Tender.  Calli has recently learned of this amazing perfume; fresh, clean, citrusy with a touch of floral is perfect for summer.  (my winter scent is Giorgio Armani She/Her/Elle)

Greta would like purple leg warmers and a red cape. That is all.

Greta wants those in pink.
