A Pinch of This and a Dash of That

Well! I've been extremely busy these past two weeks!

After sharing our Israel presentation in Indy on Friday and Saturday, we were going to leave on Sunday, when Teryn (one of my Indy friends) told us...drumroll...she was heading up to Peoria on the next Saturday! So we got to stay in Indy for a whole extra week.

FUN, FUN :)

I have to say, one of the best parts was getting a makeover in Ulta, a really cool cosmetics store. Teryn applied foundation, blush, mascara, regular eyeliner, lipliner, lipstick, and - get this! - GLITTERY EYELINER! At the end, she added bright pink lipstick. I was going to wear it out and about the mall, but Erica said I was an embarrassment. And you know me - I go out of my way to keep from embarrassing Erica...haha. Did you catch the sarcasm? I felt pretty bad, though - we went into Ulta and sampled all their makeup, then walked right out of the store without even buying anything! Oh, well, what's a bit of makeup gonna cost 'em.

By the way, there's this really fun slumber party game thing that I strongly recommend. Everyone writes eight or so questions on slips of paper, then throws them in the middle. You take turns drawing and answering the questions. My questions have ranged from thought-provoking ("What is one deep, dark secret you've never told anyone?") to kind of strange ("What is Rachel's best facial feature?") to downright ridiculous ("Did YOU put Peter the purple elephant in my refrigerator?").

Mmm...oh, how I love my Indy girls :)

Life lessons from which I think everyone can benefit:

__never entrust my sister, Erica, with a Wendy's frosty while riding in Maria Steidinger's car. She promptly spilled it all over.

__don't add fake chocolate chips to frappuccinos.

__if you buy thirty $ worth of iTunes gift cards, remember that you can't buy thirty songs - most likely, some of the songs will be $1.29.

__if it looks like wet paint, it probably is wet paint.

I'm going to buy some songs off iTunes :)

Cordially,
Lady Rachel
