/@kimmi1115 - I really hope you're not allergic to gluten, although sometimes that forces people to have a healthier diet. I'd rather try to eat healthier without a gluten allergy though. Did the allergy testing make you sleepy? Not trying to pry, but I hope you haven't been very sick and if you have been I hope they find out what it is and how to treat it very quickly. Or hopefully you'll just get better on your own.
You know, described me 'down to a T' with the 'decision, decisions" comment. I am the absolute worst at making decisions, the worst. I'm trying to stick to a budget (kind of) and have to limit my shopping but there are so many amazing things here! I don't paint my nails often these days but there are so many nail products I want, from the Nails Inc Magnetic Fishnet to the Ciate Caviar Nails and so many more. I drive myself nuts. The 15 day celebration doesn't help any, I'm not really sure if I WANT there to be tons of great products that I really want/need, or if I want all of the products to be things I'm not interested in. I won't even mention all the things on my Shopping List or the ones running around in my brain. Oh, poor me, life is so difficult.
Hey, why not do both marble & ombre! one hand ombre and the other hand marbled? Maybe not. Alternating fingers? Hmm.......think that might be a bit much. Suppose you could use one technique on Memorial Day and the other on the 4th of July! Cant wait to see the results and I hope you're feeling okay.

/@kssweetheart Thank you for the well wishes! Although it's for an allergy, the test is a scope test by the GI. They put me to sleep with propofol, and I don't remember falling asleep or seeing the doctor in recovery afterwards lol. I won't know the results until next week since the tissue they took was shipped to Memphis. It's a problem I've had for a while now. Certain foods give me horrible stomach pains. Last fall, I went to the ER because of it. My mom was worried it was my pancreas or appendix. Both were ruled out. However, I feel much better when I don't eat gluten (especially if it's pasta).
Sephora can be an overwhelming place to shop lol. Although I don't need any replacements of anything, I always like to go look and test lol. Sometimes testing leads to a wishlist, too lol. After getting the Buxom 500 point perk, I am in love with their lip gloss and lip sticks! But, I want to work on putting a good dent in some of my other lip products. What really hurts is how some companies come out with numerous collections that aren't spaced too far apart. Nail polish companies love to do this lol.

/@kimmi1115 - Oh, duh! I should have realized what you meant when you said Scope test, I was connecting it with the allergy testing in my brain. I say I should've realized since I've had many scopes, can I ask if it was upper of lower? The one good thing is you do have that great sleepy feeling as you're coming out of it. I hate when sometimes they force you to really wake up and get out of there, sometimes they let you hang out a while and enjoy that good-sleepy feeling. Hey! I just went through a dang Scope, let me atleast enjoy this!! They have to put me completely out, like they do for real surgery, not just with IV Sedation, long story. I know, it's funny when you're waking up and they're talking to you, and telling you what they saw or didn't see, I never remember. They might as well be talking to the wall. Sometimes they'll wait and tell whoever's waiting for/with me, but it always surprises me when they tell me and actually think I'm going to remember, Really????? Are you talkin' to me???? Since you said they took tissue samples to biopsy I'm guessing it's lower scope, Endoscopy of Colonoscopy? Feel a little weird asking for such personal details, guess it's what we do sometimes. I'm glad you have no memory of it at all, that's good news. I'm glad it wasn't your pancreas or appendix, although the appy wouldn't have been quite as bad, it might have meant surgery but then it would be out and the problems would be over. Easy for me to say...."it just might've meant surgery...." Easy for me to say, it's not my appendix and I wouldn't be the one having surgery!! I just meant that then it hopefully wouldn't be an ongoing illness. I hope you get results quickly and that they're good results, I'll say a prayer for you. Would you let me know the outcome if you don't mind? If the details are too personal to post here you can always PM me. Hope it all turns out alright. Glad you got that nice little nap after. One time I slept that day and night and then the entire next day and night, don't know what he gave me that time, but I kinda liked it!!
I know what you mean, I just ordered Philosophy Cleanser which I did really need. Trying to find something else I need to use as an excuse to purchase. Are you like me, wanting to get $50+ to get free shipping or do you do under 50 and pay shipping. I hate paying the dang shipping cost, was hoping they'd make a change, maybe lower it to free ship $25.00+, who know's maybe they will in the future. The Buxoms are nice, although I havent tried the lip sticks, which is surprising since I have so much BE. I have tons of lip products and continue to tell myself I have to try to use up or atleast put a dent in what I already have. I couldn't use them all up in 5 years!! (I just checked yesterday and I've been carrying a small bag and there were 12 lip products in it!! it's insane) There are always so many lip products that I want to try and I find it terribly difficult to stay away from new ones. I can't even guess how many "lips" I actually have, well over 100 and there are quite a few that are even unopened, usually the ones that came in a kit with other items (I've done a lot of QVC TSV's on Auto Delivery and I have tons of things, tons!!) I agree, it seems like they come out with so many things all at one time, I don't really know why they do that, I'm sure it's been studied and analyzed and there are reasons they do that but personally, I would much rather they spaced it out too. Nail polish is a great example, there are so many brands coming out with so many products, it's making me crazy, I don't know what to get and what to wait on, especially difficult if there are a number of Limited Editions, you don't want to miss out but you also don't want to buy 15 polishes all at once just because you''re in fear of it selling out. That really aggravates me.
Sorry this was so long, hope there aren't too many typos etc, I didn't proof it or anything. Hope you're feeling well, take care. Have fun this weekend.

/@kimmi1115, you cracked me up, loved your 'they could've thrown you in the trunk....' comment, that was funny!!! Why can't they just leave us alone a little longer, they know how awful we're going to feel once the meds wear off, cut us some dang slack and let us enjoy this feeling that we're PAYING FOR!! It's different if they need the room, if not, leave me the heck alone!! It's like being in the hospital and you have the nurse come in at 2 am saying, "Wake up, wake up.....it's time for your sleeping pill" I was already asleep, are you on drugs??? I did have one dentist who let you just chill and enjoy that sleepy-chilled feeling, he's over an hour away though, his office is close to where we used to live.
Wisdom teeth always makes me think of the "Wisdom Tooth Girl" video that was shown on Ellen, there are numerous ones on youtube, but that's the best. It also reminds me of one of the biggest embarrassing moments of my life. I was getting my wisdom removed (all 4, like you) by my oral surgeon who looked a bit like Albert Einstein, he was a great guy and I was super comfortable with him. The night before the appointment I was out and got home around 10:30p to find a message that my Dr wasn't going to be able to do it, that I'd be seeing another new Dr. - the worst part....he didn't have the malpractice insurance that would cover putting me completely out, he could just give me IV that puts you in a sort of La-La Land. I was a nervous wreck to begin with, now this?? Well I called my Dr, yes, I called him at nearly 11p - cause I was Furious. He said don't worry blah,blah,blah come in and meet him and if you don't like him we'll reschedule. The only problem was that the next weekend was Thanksgiving and we were leaving for Syracuse bright & early the next AM to go to a wedding, which meant I'd have to wait until after that and I was in pain, so that wasn't gonna work...so I went.......
kimmi, the new Dr was one of the most delicious men I've ever seen in my entire life!!! Seriously, he was freakin HOT!!! I was in lust and probably would've let him cut off a limb if he wanted to!! Especially after the sedation kicked in, they were having a lot of trouble and I could hear what they were saying and hear the tension in their voices...and I didn't even care!!
The embarrassing part..... when the IV started to kick in (or Truth Serum as I prefer to call it) I looked up at him and said exactly this - "Dr Greenberg, you have the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen!!" Yes I did!! Can you believe that? I could even picture the little hearts coming out of my eyes like they do in cartoons. I didn't even care....until later.
Flash forward about 8 years, my brother had to go to him and my brother said that I'd been a patient of his. My brother didn't even say anything to jog his memory, he said "Oh Yeah, I remember your sister..." don't remember what else he said just that he remembered me and the 'incident' I saw him quite a while after that in a parking lot and we both kind of looked at each other, you know that look when you know there's something familiar but you don't know what. We got into our cars and at the same time looked at each other and smiled and sort of nodded like "oh yeah, i remember now" Really embarrassing, but it's a great story...and it's much longer when it's typed out. Too bad he was married 
Oh well. Hope that gave you a little laugh.
I really hate to pay shipping, hoping Sephora will lower there 50+ free shipping. Beauty.com is free s/h 25+, I really like sephora better though. Beauty.com and drugstore.com used to have Amazing GWP's, reallly fantastic, high value GWP's, not so much anymore though. You're strong not shopping from Sephora since the fall....That's amazing! Especially with all of the holiday promos and whatever VIB promos may have come up. Willpower baby, they don't sell that anywhere that I know of. I didn't notice that they don't take paypal, is there a reason you like paypal better than other payment options? You don't have to answer that if you thinks it's too financially personal, just curious, might have another idea for you depending on your reasons.
When you mentioned that the biopsies had to be sent so far away I was surprised too, maybe there's just a lab there that specializes in whatever the dr's are looking for. Seemed unusual, I've had a lot of 'scope' biopsies and they were all done 'in-house' Interesting, you could always ask your doctor just out of curiosity if the conversation goes that way, sometimes it doesn't feel right bringing it up though. I do hope the results are good. Let me know how it turns out, okay? If it's not something your comfortable discussing publicly you can always send me a PM. Whatever works for you.
I know you have plans for the weekend, anything exciting? Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'll be home with my Greyhound who is scared to death of thunder & lightning and fire works, and you know there will be fireworks, maybe thunder too. And I'm all out of her anti-anxiety medicine!! It may be a Looooong weekend. I'm pretty confident that your weekend will be more fun than mine, enjoy it. Sorry so long Hope not a ton of typos, didn't proof it.
Anyhow, I hope that you, and anyone else who's brave enough to get through all of this have a great weekend and safe travels.
