Happy New Year!

Hope 2010 is off to a great start for all of you! Thanks for all the support you’ve sent my way and for your patience with me during these hard times.

I knew they’d make me pay for that “toughest job in the Navy” sooner or later. Things have been really tough since December 2009, all the responsibility and no time off from mommy mode caught up to me and conspired to make me fall asleep early or stay up watching 70’s sitcom repeats most nights I should have been blogging!

I’ve now accepted our new reality and am ready to move forward. Know that I will blog as often as I can but I need to pay extra special attention to my three little ones right now.

xoxo

just some rambling

Delphine — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:00:32 +0000

For starters, I broke the USB on my Flip camera so that puts an end to my postponing my video reviews for a while longer. I know that probably didn’t make sense but I’m sad, and cranky, so please put up with it for a little while. For the record I did contact Flip and they don’t fix the USB component. There is a possibility that if I send in my camera, they can retrieve the priceless video and transfer it to dvd but I’m not so sure I can’t do that myself via the tv cable.

In other news I was gifted a new iPhone so I am glad to say the Razor is in a drawer as an emergency back up phone. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I’m not that crazy about the iPhone right now… hopefully I’ll have time to download some music and applications and that will make it all worth it!

Speaking of Apple products… Boy2001 (my oldest child and darling son) attended an Apple Youth Workshop Saturday. He had a great time learning how to make videos on a Mac and got a FAB T-Shirt that he’s super excited to wear to school tomorrow. He brought up a good point, why doesn’t Apple name all their products after apples like the Macintosh computer? i.e. Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Cortland, etc… instead of all this ‘i’ stuff. Have the prods fallen too far from the tree?!

Saturday evening we went to a lodge steakhouse in South Portland, Maine — Bugaboo Creek. We are long time, die hard Bugaboo supporters but this meal was less than stellar imho. No worries as I will NOT be back any time soon but it blows to spend good money on something you don’t enjoy.

Speaking of steak, I must mention the best one I’ve had in a while was courtesy of the Total Beauty Summit NYC.

I know I still haven’t gotten around to posting anything about the summit AND now my photos are frozen on my Flip but I want to mention our night out at TAO. Although it’s not the type of place I normally go, I enjoyed the experience profusely. I go to restaurants to eat! Had I been smarter I would have looked at a regular menu to see the range of offerings but as it is I will have to judge on our group meal selections which may have been blander to cater to more people. (I like spicy food!) I haven’t had such a great steak (sweet sauce pushed aside) in AGES. Sadly, the steak was a little on the too rare side for many of the people at my table but all in all it was a great experience I’ll remember forever.

It’s midnight, I’m tuckered, see ya in the morning.

Linda Gray a year ago

Delphine — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:53:32 +0000

Proof that this woman is elegant and ageless. I love Linda Gray for her role of Sue Ellen Ewing (AKA Mrs. J.R. Ewing) on Dallas but love her even more each time I see her. I’ve posted this because I’d like to see more of her in the spotlight and yes, I’m feeling very nostalgic. Anywho, here she is, Ms. Linda Gray, striding down the street after a little shopping at MAC in LA last year… (July 31, 2008)

what is Tami Farrell (miss Cali) thinking

Delphine — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:03:01 +0000

She’s the new Miss California! Tami Farrell made an appearnace on CNN’s Larry King last week. Perhaps she gave some indication that she could not walk without being guided by both hips?

Wonder what she’s thinking…

Cynthia Nixon joins Curél

Delphine — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:16:22 +0000

Curél is also giving all of us a chance to help through the “Share the Gift of Caring” campaign. I just sent my first pledge in the name of a friend and it is so simple. Help the American Red Cross without spending one red cent!

In order to help rally people across the country and share the gift of caring, Curél has made a contribution of $250,000 to the American Red Cross, and has pledged to donate $10,000 more.

Log on to www.curel.com and click to donate $1 of that $10,000 in a friend’s name. Your friend will receive a message from Curél letting them know that you care then she’ll be invited to share the gift of sharing with someone else. A virtual chain of donations from the Curél brand on behalf of real people – like YOU.

Every time you share the gift of caring you empower a friend to be a part of the movement! Join Curél in supporting the American Red Cross.

Stila glams up the Lakers games

Delphine — Fri, 29 May 2009 06:50:01 +0000

Not a sports fan but I AM a Stila fan and that’s enough inspiration to share the above photo. Stila is the beauty wardrobe sponsor for the Los Angeles Laker Girls — so now we know their secret! No matter if you were dragged to the game or you thoroughly enjoy it you’ll sure to love the Stila sponsored KISS ME CAM! ALL eyes are on the jumbotron when that kiss me camera goes off… I don’t know how comfy I’d be with 19,000 pairs of eyes on me at that moment!!

want to look flushed? stay on the line with Disney World

Delphine — Tue, 19 May 2009 16:10:58 +0000

Just in case you’re wondering why I’m not posting beauty stuff… Disney World crud like this keeps me busy! Now I’m so frustrated I just feel like running to the beach and go on a sea glass hunt. This is so not right, Disney needs to step it up with the Customer Service it’s so not *magical*.

I’m going downstairs to make a nice cup of tea and think happy thoughts of showers and shampoo an things like that. I’ll be back this afternoon with two nice little posts on two of my new favorite things…

One is a hair care system, the other is a hair minimizer (ooh what could that be!?)
