today was pretty fabulous. missy took me to marshall fields and we both had our makeup done by lancome's national makeup artist, alex sanchez. missy's friend lois is evidently THE woman for michigan's lancome and got us on the list. a local artist preps you and showed me all these fun toners and moisturizers that i now own and have no idea what to do with. then alex does his magic. i've never been a makeup person and don't use much usually, but this man made my skin look awesome in basically 5 minutes. he used all natural, soft colors and my skin was glowing, my eyes were beautiful, and my lips looked especially pouty. so, of course, missy bought me practically everything, plus some great perfume i liked. and it's all really great product. i nearly fainted after seeing the bill. i feel so spoiled and girly.
afterwards we went out to lunch with lois, alex, and some other girls who were working there and lancome paid. alex is apparently from chicago and told me that i'll really love it there. lois had one of those little phones that clip onto your ear and she'd start talking about random stuff during a conversation and it'd take me a minute to figure out that she had a phone call and wasn't going off on an audible internal tangent.
we picked up the kids from school around 4 and then i got to drive missy's cadillac to the salon to get the kids' hair cut. they nearly killed each other on the way there. i learned something very valuable today. if you take jake's gameboy away, all hell will break loose. and apparently he thinks he's suffocating if the windows aren't rolled immediately down when he gets in the car, but you can't unlock them or he'll stick his entire body out into traffic. we visited coldstone while they finished with dena and then i dropped them all off at the lakehouse and picked up my car.
i'm pooped. but my skin looks good, damnit.
