Another Day, Another Emo Kid

I really completely suck at doing my blog.  I'm so sorry.  I'm going to tell you about what's going on in my life right now.

My head spins, my throat closes, a tear spills, another piece breaks.
Don't you see?  Don't you see me?
My eyes close, my fists clench, my stomach drops, another piece breaks.
Do you hear?  Do you hear me?
A light shines, a sparrow sings, I love, one more piece breaks.
Can you feel?  Can you feel me?
My way gets lost, my mind reels, I lose my footing, another piece breaks.
Won't you touch?  Why won't you touch me?
It's dark, it's gloomy, it's depressing, and another piece breaks.
Don't you help? Don't you help me?
I cry, I scream, I call out, I plead
Another piece breaks.
I hurt.  Can you save me?
Can someone please help me?


Yup, that about sums it up.  Any comments??

How About An End-of-Hiatus Giveaway?

Hello my lovelies!!
To make it up to you, gentle reader, for being absent for so long (October 15th was my last entry) I am having a GIVEAWAY!!!!!  I discovered this new nail color from Sinful Colors that is a...wait for it....FLAKIE!!  It's called "Green Ocean" and it is frikkin gorgeous.  So I bought extra so I could giveaway one, and started going thru my accumulated new & unused beauty products.  I gathered several selections plus the Green Ocean & came up with, what I think is, an awesome collection of prizes!!  Check out the pics!!
This giveaway includes the following items:
  • Of course, the Sinful Colors "Green Ocean" nail polish

I may be inspired to add a few bits & bobbles every few days until the end of the contest.  A full size Philosophy shower gel?  A sugar scrub or bath bomb or soap from Lush?  Some additional eye shadow samples??  I'll post pics of the additional items as I add them :-}  OH!!  Just to assure you, all of the items pictured & being given away are brand-new, unused & untested.

Since I went back to work in October, it seems as though I haven't had time to do anything.  The Fibromyalgia is still with me, and it's a daily battle, but I love my job again and that matters to me so much.  We moved to a new building and with the move came a renewed sense of teamwork & positivity.  And bigger desks!!  Going to work has been a joy....

Love,
