Oh Em Eff Gee. The Good. The Bad.

Bad : Okay this would not be considered bad or upsetting per say by pretty much 99.9% of America, but its bad for me darn-it. So, I have been waiting in excited anticipation for months now for the release of MAC's Dazzleglass collection. So much so that I have been checking the MAC website and MAC counters periodically to make sure I knew exactly when this would be released because the date has gone back and forth the past few months and I knew certain shades would be sold out almost instantly - and I had to get my hands on those! Dazzleglass has actually been released officially on the website since last Wednesday, but I have learned my lesson with being a frequent internet cosmetic purchaser (should I put that on my resume?) and I wanted to see the shades in person before I bought them. So when I perused my local MAC counter last week, I asked them when the collection would be put out on the shelves, and they said "next Thursday", which would be this coming Thursday. I think I annoyed them because I kept asking "are you sure?". They were sure.

So - Breathe. I almost can't get this out - you can only imagine my horror (no exaggeration needed here) when I walked past Dillard's this morning on the way back from returning some shoes and saw a slightly-tainted-days-old Dazzleglass display sitting on the counter. What the?! Its only Tuesday. Oh Em Eff Gee. I asked the rep why the freak was this already out for sale when I was told otherwise, and she said they "decided" to put it on Friday. They?! Friday! And what did I tell you - they were already sold out of two shades. Insert expletives here. I am so sad. I prepare in advance to avoid situations such as these. I am sure that probably if I drove around to every department and MAC store in Houston I would find these shades, but lets be honest I do have some priorities people. So I went ahead and bought the Baby Sparks shade which is a lovely pastel pink and even though I don't know what it looks like, I might have to break my own rule and buy Bare Necessities shade online since obviously the universe doesn't want me to have it yet. Sheesh. If any of you want a fun new shimmery lip gloss from this collection for the summer, you better run out and gank one now. See - I told you that you would not think it was bad but hey its my blog so there.

Good: Okay once again, this would probably would not be considered good by pretty much 99.9% of America, but it brought a smile to my face and totally offset my lip gloss debacle for the day. So I am single (groan) and don't date all that much. For many obvious reasons (hello! to start I just blogged for five minutes about lip gloss for goodness sakes) but also because I admit I am extremely picky and won't date just anyone (whole other subject saved for - with you? - well probably never). Plus almost all of my friends are married and the ones who aren't are in serious relationships, so I can't even date vicariously through anyone anymore. So its just me. And my crazy mind. And this is what happens. Now I have to preface this by saying that I admit I have a bit of a dysfunction. Just one, Ruth??? Shut up. Since I have yet to meet a guy who lives up to my expectations in person, this is what I do : sometimes I will hear about a guy that I have never met, usually through a friend or acquaintance, and I fall in love with... his stats... and decide he's the one. He's it. If only God would have us meet! Purely by his stats on paper - usually surrounding his Godliness and spirituality, ministry, age, personality, job, background (Aggies always get bonus points), looks, etc etc etc. I rarely, if ever, end up meeting these mystery men and if I ever do the paper slowly begins to crumble and my bubble is burst. Ohhhh but sadly this does not stop me from continuing to do so in my head.

Today I "found" a doozie! I ran into an old friend of mine today, I hadn't really seen her since high school. So as we were catching up she was telling me about the church she and her husband were involved in... and when she found out I was single she started going on about how I need to come to her church because she knew some single guys my age - yada yada yada - and then she started going on about this one guy... about how he's so Godly and nice/tall/cute and his only downfall is how picky he is about the women he dates' spirituality (believable? ummmm) and then goes on about how he works in the church's youth ministry blah blah blah... yes he sounds good on paper to me but I was ready to chuck it up to a probably-not-but-thanks-for-thinking-of-me... until... just wait for it... its coming... she goes "Crap! He's leaving for the next seven months or so for football" seeming like it was no big deal. I figured he was a coach somewhere or something like that. Then she goes on to tell me that he just signed on to play in the fall for -ohmygoodnesscatchmybreath- the Green Bay Packers. Aaaaa! I KNOW! Its okay you're allowed to be excited too. I kinda spazzed out in front of her out of excitement that he was a Packer and I am sure I freaked her out. Anyone who knows me at all knows of my obsession, passion and love for the Green Bay Packers and I don't care if this guy signed on to be the freaking water boy - I'll take him! See? This is how it works. So on paper he's perfect for me (hello! I'm perfect for him) and if only I was to meet him we would be two peas in a love pod. A freakin' Jesus-lovin'-Packer. Wow. Anyways, I will probably never actually meet him (especially now that he'll be around NFL hoochie-groupies) and if for some reason I ever do we never had this conversation (and this blog post will be deleted) but for now... in my little psychotic mind... I think he's the one. :)

Random other Good/Bads:
BAD: Since I missed the draft this weekend, I have been slowly catching up on the goings on. Marcellus Bennett is now a Dallas Cowboy? Uggggggh. Ma'Bennett??? Of all teams in the entire league. I am quite annoyed (yet surprised he went in the second round... I saw him as a third+ rounder for sure). I hate the Cowboys. And people with overly blessed lives. Like Chris Long. It must be tough growing up as Howie Long's son and then having to be picked second in the NFL Draft. Oh do I sound jealous? Heck yeah I am! Then there's the Manning family and that's a whole other ball game.
GOOD: 27 Dresses came out on DVD today. Enough said.
BAD: Alex picked Chelsea over Amanda last night. Really? Chelsea? She's a weird weird weird girl. Almost tranny-like?Amanda was perfect for him. But honestly he's mesmerized by Shayne and I believe he is already planning to pick her in the end (and I love it that he doesn't care that she carries blush in her ski vest! That's so something I would do!), so it doesn't really matter who the runner-up is, does it?
GOOD: Finally I am fixing up my bed to see if it can make a difference with my back pain. Since I can't afford a new mattress (at least the type I need), we put some wood planks underneath my current one to firm it up... and then I bought a big ole therapeutic mattress pad today to put on top and bipidy-bopidy-boo I have a new homemade mattress. I hope it helps!
