Sunday, December 02, 2007 Me, Me, Me, Travel Fun

Just got here - it’s not even 3 pm and it’s totally dark out there. Nice weather.

Think I will take a nap. Already lost my %$&^^* glasses. Think they fell out of my coat pocket. SEE? Change ANYTHING in my routine and I’m toast.

So, I just got back from a looong walk down State street and am chagrined to say that I went SOUTH instead of NORTH. Why is that bad? Because I was raised here, and everyone knows without hesitating that the lake is east and therefore ALWAYS knows which way to turn. Not me. Oh, no. Granted, it’s dark out and I can’t see the lake, but I couldn’t miss the El train and that was a big enough bleeping clue.

Anyway, I knew I was back on track when I saw Marshall Field’s. I lurve Marshall Field’s. It’s where I go to get Frangos, and where I go to stare at the Tiffany ceiling. *sigh* Only it wasn’t Marshall Field’s anymore, it was Macy’s. Sweet baby Jesus in a corn crib with a rattle, what is this world coming to? I worked at that very store, the flagship, historically significant Marshall Field’s while in high school. Yes, that’s right. I was a Jr. Fashion Consultant. Shut up, I got to meet Brooke Shields. Which is what makes it so totally cool that both her blurb and mine were selected for the jacket of Writing Motherhood by Lisa Garrigues. Oh, we go way back.

Anyway, I cheered up and bought some new Benefit makeup, and then had a foundation concealer custom-mixed just for me. They used tiny spatulas and measuring spoons and for a minute I thought I was on the set of American Gangster. Fun. When I remember the name of the cosmetic, I’ll post it - their store in San Francisco opens next month, and they’ve only been open here two weeks. What a lame plug. Thanks, guys, for mixing and stirring and pressing my powder with such care! I can’t even remember the name of your company!

Update: It’s Colors Lab Custom Cosmetics!

Love,
