Rebecca has left the building.

What a fluttering of a month. One reason or another led me to make nearly zero posts.

A specific reason I can name is a pretty awesome one!!

Trade the itsy bitsy one bedroom apartment for a gigando 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath Victorian totally loaded up on space. We can park four cars directly in front of our side door (better than wiggling around a building with a 30# bag of dog food and the rest of your groceries). Full kitchen. Seperate spacious dining room. A parlor and a living room. Plus shrubberies.

Even with our pups being confined to the first floor, their roaming space has quadrupled. Additionally, the non-carpeted flooring is amazing when it comes to working with a puppy and a full grown dog who lately decided his trigger will be on carpet. Not that that matters, as the solid week we have been here only yieled one accident from Dallas and twice from Nightshade. Dallas is more well adjusted than his baby brother, but if there is a dude walking around loud outside he was too distracted to finish business. Plus I think the walking fellah was inebriated, which sent me back in quicker too. That accident was our fault. Nightshade on the other hand was a little stressed and had stress diarrhea, but only before day 3. Both have taken to the new place like gems!

Not without it's hiccups though, this has been an excellent relocation. Firstly as a clueless young couple, we had no idea the gas was separate from our electric company. That means no oven and no hot showers for a few days. At this very moment I am awaiting the gas man so I can finish up my dishes and can my tomatoes. Our dryer is electric, and we need to install an outlet suitable. And as beautiful as the entire house is, the previous owners left the larger bathroom nearly untouched. The floor is frightful (but there is a nice faucet in the shower and a nice mirror with a beautiful light fixture.) We definitely have a construction project right there, but aside from that the building inspector gave us a glowing report. He even complimented my use of Halloween decoration and mine and Andrew's dragonbone helmet project sitting on our desk.

I have been attempting to record a few practice videos for my YouTube channel. Best way to connect with a pal, is to get in on what they love.  One video I would like to make is a house tour video, as I am just that excited.

Lastly, posts have been scarce largely due just not shopping much. I killed it at Ulta near the close of July, and had to let my allowance recover. Now that it has, I am taking stock of my makeup and really, I do not know if I will need anything anytime soon. Maybe my allowance can just go towards markers?

Text heavy post will end it's transition soon.

Have yourselves a wonderful night and I am going to genuinely attempt to make my blogging far more positive and less cynical.
Let's end this with Nightshade in his new bedroom (parlor)

ULTA-mately

On the way home from work, my wonderful husband obliged my pal and I to go to JoAnn's to grab some 2oz Sculpey III packets for $1.24. He also took it like a trooper when we asked to stop by a plaza across the street that housed an Ulta.

Well. My experience heretofore with Ulta was during December maybe. Andrew and I were with his sister and she wanted to grab some EOS guys from there. This was after we left Hobby Lobby, which is in a shared strip. Upon entry I was drooling. Makeup aisles in my world are literally just that.
Generously, I have provided a beautiful layout for you to see how Meijer has the main makeup section laid out.
As you can see, there is a bit going on in that second aisle from the right. Its mostly tools and manicure stuff and then like condoms. I'm five and can't handle that part of the aisle. I avoid it at all costs. Then on the other wall we have a grouping of makeup pouches and the like, going into a big section of nail polish. We have Studio M, China Glaze, OPI, Sally Hansen, Sinful Color (am I making that up, or is it a real brand?) Essie, and probably more. I only look at the top row because I only want to spend $3. Following there is some NYX, Wet and Wild, Black Radience, Some other stuff.

The main aisle holds the brands almost everyone has heard of. Almay, Physicians Formula, Rimmel, Covergirl, Revlon, LoReal, Maybelline...some other stuff.

Then we have shampoo. Good old shampoo and body wash and like. hair brushes.

Thats my exposure.

I've been in a mall store a few times, in a mall roughly an hour away from myself, called the Body Shop. I've purchased a beauty goldish eye shadow pot. I loved it and used it until I lost it (but it was like a year or two I had it. It was probably a blessing I lost it, because bacteria.) Next I had a beautiful matte black. It was like butter for eyelids. Whipped butter color. Like Fleishmans pretend butter that I like for toast. I lost it eventually. I'm pretty sure I bought a brush set that was tiny for travel (this I think. I bet it was this) . Lost that also. Hih Skool ≠ Responsible. This store though, was in a mall. it was in that normal mall cubical size they give to smaller stores.

Ulta though. Mother effing that was a makeup store. With just makeup and other beautification things. WOWE.

How does Ulta compare to this illustrious Sephora I keep hearing about? I have no frigging clue. Maybe it's a cheaper store? Just comparing Bare Minerals products, it's the same on both websites across the BM website. No clue. 

All of this being said, I bought some Ulta products because cheap. Boy. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't my yeild. Upcoming review on my products in a smudge. Have to will myself to utilize them.

Ears of another size

As of yet, I have no followers. Nothing.
This blog may as well be some ghost town in Wyoming, next to the tourist trap town. No one has heard of it (except of course people who live in Wyoming. hi andrew. ohow are you? aaarrrrrggggghhhhh (reading over the shoulder.))

Essentially, I could write twenty posts tonight about inconsequential things. Not a soul would care, as this page is just a small wisp of air. It's kind of like that fart that you let out in math class; No one heard it or smelt it, so you just pretended it didn't happen.

Just like my canine companion was cursed with small genitalia that could never produce young, I have small ears. My headphones keep falling out because they just won't suction in there. They are some old Skull Candy's that I got to be edgy. Distantly in the past, I possessed a BlueTooth headset. $14 were lost in the clearance electronics at Meijer. I threw it out after trying to use it for five days. One of those days, I had a glorious phone conversation with ManMan while I was busy at work tending to the flat display at the greenhouse. The catch was that I had to rubber band it to my ears. It really looked stupid, and I could not figure it out again. What a total waste.

My non-dog BFF recommended I watch this show 'Teen Wolf'. I assume that it's on Netflix Instant Queue, so I'll play it on my phone and be extra exciting and watch it.

Opening. Police Car. I bet some person has been mangled by some kinda ANIMAAALl.
No wait. Zoom on house. Naked boy is fixing a lacross paddle?? Certainly worked himself up a sweat.
His jerk friend just fell out of his roof or something to tell him about WAIT FOR IT. Dead Body.
Joggers found it. And half of it was there. Duh it was an animal.
Lol. Kid just said the key thing "What if whatever killed the body is still out there?"

I bet the main kid is going to get bit by a werewolf. He is in the woods by himself after all.
No, just trampled by sweet CG deer. Elk or something. 

Lol. I can't narrarate my watching experience. This entry was supposed to be about my ears dangit.

I'm ending for the minute. Be back in a few minutes. To post something else stupid.
