TGIF

I'm awesome.

I don't really have a lot of time during the week to play Rift.  When I finally get around to it I just don't feel like leveling my main. I tend to reserve that for the weekends.  I don't mind leveling alts or playing in warfronts though.

Eric and I hit level 40 last weekend and now I am a lowbie. I still rocked it out as #1 healer in a warfront and held the fang the longest :)

My Chloro Azzy

Then I got bored and decided to play my baby Defiant Chloro.  She's too cute.  At like 9:00pm I was wiped and went to bed. 

I normally don't post about gaming. I have in the past, but try to keep it very nonchalant. None of my friends in FL are geeks. They know that I game, but I wonder if they truly know how geeky I am. I guess I've always tried to keep that side of me hidden from them, but fuck it. This is who I am. I love gaming. 

Yup, most people will call me a loser or a dork (even at work), but I really don't give a shit.  I am a geek...not a dork. I like playing games and watching SciFi. I really like going to DragonCon too. If I had the money I would totally go to Comic-con also. I don't dress up for the con's...I have my limits. I work on Linux for god sakes if that doesn't scream GEEK I don't know what does.  

Friends that read this.... I'm a geek. If you already knew that and still love me YAY! For those that didn't know how geeky I was, now you do. I play games in a Virtual world and totally love it. I also like Star Treks, Gates, and most stuff on the SyFy channel.

I can even make the "duck face".

Love her voice

I'm not a huge Glee fan. I definitely like the show, but no more or less than any other show.  I do however love love this performance.  Lea Michele is so talented. I absolutely love her voice. Even if you aren't a big Glee fan; you should watch this performance.

New eyeshadow

I got my Coastal Scents eyeshadow's yesterday.  I used them today.  The pigment is pretty good for $0.28 per eyeshadow. I have zero complaints.  I use MAC primer so my eyeshadow will normally last all day. Hopefully this one does too.

I really love all the options I have now. I used the mirage palette this morning. Tomorrow the warm and with 176 to choose from I am completely satisfied.

Coastal Scent Mirage Palette gets about an 8 from me. They are not as great as MAC eyeshadow's, but for the price and what you get they are well pigmented with A LOT of options.

I did my makeup today.  My hair was done from the salon, so I decided what the hell...why not.  I really do want to do my makeup and hair more often.  I am definitely a very causal person. Jeans and sneakers are just so comfortable. I've always wanted to be the type of woman that gets up in the morning and looks like a professional stylist has been to her house at 5am.  Soon I will be a casual version of that. :)

I used to only do my hair and makeup when I went out, but since I don't go out much anymore I just never ended up wearing makeup at all.

Over that last few months I have started doing my hair before work and I really love it. Now I am taking the next step and doing my make up.  I was wearing eyeliner and mascara and that's about it. I think I am going to start doing eyeshadow too. I never wear foundation. Most of the time just a light powder to take away the shiny.

I guess at age 30 I am trying to reinvent myself. Not a huge change, but just enough. Today is start of new Jackie that wears makeup.

Happy Saint Patty's Day

 I made Beef Wellington last night with a side of herb and butter rice. It came out pretty good.  I didn't use the cut of meat you were supposed to, but really it's all about the pastry anyway. I was tasty and Eric and I loved it. I packed a to go box for him so he can have it tonight again for dinner.  Then I realized I don't have anything to eat for dinner tonight. PB & J it is while Eric has left over Beef Wellington.


I got the horrible news that my laptop has been delayed until 3/29/11.  Seriously?!? It's already been over a month Dell! Ugh. I kinda want to cancel the order, but hell if I buy a new laptop who knows how long i'll have to wait for it.

 Today is St. Patty's day. I am Italian and probably part Irish, but I am Italian at heart. I am however dating a McCoy which in the future will be my last name. I decided being a future McCoy means I should get all dolled up. I did my hair curly and even wore green eye shadow. I wish you could see it better in the pictures.

I sent my McCoy an IM this morning and of course he isn't wearing green. I'm obviously better at being Irish than he is.

Yay....I just made plans to go to the hockey game with some of the HR chics from work. I'm excited. I never get to hang out with girls.

Hmmmm...Yesterday I bought a bunch of cute eye shadows from Coastal Scents.

Mirage Palette

Warm Palette

It was like $50 for 176 eye shadows! They are about a dime size which is plenty to play with and lots of variety.

Then I went a bit crazy at E.L.F. $40 at E.L.F is A LOT! Everything is like $1-$3. Today I have to try and resist buying a bunch of crap from Folica.

Breakfast

Eggs with onions, peppers, and mushrooms with a side of turkey bacon and low calorie toast with light butter and jelly.

Eric and I went out to eat at Olive Garden last night. Yum! I did 11.25 miles on the bike machine at the gym so I don't feel as guilty as I normally would. divajackie's Activities | RunKeeper

After dinner we went to the mall. I needed some new shampoo. I currently use Blue Malva from Aveda to keep my blond..well blond. I hate when my hair gets brassy.  The problem is Blue Malva dries out my hair, but I love it. I needed a better shampoo to alternate with.  Since I dye my hair blond, blow dry, and flat iron my hair I bought Damage Remedy shampoo and conditioner. I am also reading about keratin treatments, but not the kind with formaldehyde. I found a few on Folica  (best site ever btw) that I may purchase.  I'll post a review about the Aveda shampoo once I actually use it. 

While I was at Aveda I decided to get a face cream as well. Since I am aging, no i'm not saying i'm old, just aging. I decided to get Green Science face firming cream.  I used it last night and my skin is so soft today.  I really hope it helps to smooth out the lines on my forehead that Eric doesn't seem to believe exist.  I can see them!  After Aveda we went to The Body Shop. I love their body wash, scrubs, and butters.  


I walk up with my $8 body wash and the girl says, "Everything in the store is buy 3 get 2 free". Obviously that means my $8 purchase turned to a $33 purchase, but whatever. Also, this girl is my absolute favorite person on earth. We were talking about something and age (She was like 18). I told her about the cream I got from Aveda. She said why do you need that? I asked how old did she think I was. She said...."You can't be any older than like 22 or 23". I love that girl! I told her I was 30 and she was literally blown away. Yay for always using face cream and getting a good night sleep. That girl totally made my night. :)


After we got home we watched V and Fringe and then I just went to bed. It was 11pm because of the time change, but I was really going to bed at 10pm on a Saturday night. Yes, I'm boring, but I look young. 


Time to go make breakfast. I have to take the dogs to the vet in an hour. 

Yummy lunch

Turkey with sprouts and low fat chive cc on an everything bagel thin (100 cal) with a side of carrots with spinach and artichoke yogurt dip and a berry La Croix.

:)

Super busy girl

That would be my super hero name this week! Super Busy Girl :) I don't even have the extra time to be writing in my blog, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Between client's getting DDoS'ed, servers not booting, hacked clients, and just all the little things I am done with this week already. Oh yea I have to do 30 QA's. Seriously when does it end? These past 2 weeks have been brutal.

In other news..I'm planning a trip down to FL to meet baby Christopher and see Steffy.  I am thinking last weekend in March first weekend of April. We'll see.

Back to work!

Veggie burrito scramble

Yummy!

2 eggs, onions, peppers, and mushrooms on a low carb whole wheat tortilla.

Addicted

I'm addicted to applications on my Atrix. I was never like this with my iPhone. I barely ever picked the thing up other than to check Facebook once in a while.  I don't think an hour has gone by in few days (other than when I am sleeping) that I haven't picked up my Atrix. No wonder the battery isn't lasting as long!  I bought a car dock and charger for it too! So excited!

Ebay ended up paying me $405 for my old iPhone 4. Yup, $405 for a used iPhone. I paid $200 for it and $200 for the Atrix. That means I basically got both phones for free. Yay for me :)
