My frequently worn scents have been Straight to Heaven, Eau Des Merveilles and Parfum Prive’.<br /><br />Makeup: I’m in love with anything teal.

Lipstick is exceptionally important as I have gorgeous gray hair. Most lipsticks immediately remove a layer of skin and chap me horrifically. You Gaia have turned me on to lip stains, especially Hourglass over which I can apply a balm, thus avoiding dryness.<br /><br />Frequently Worn Outfit/Item<br />Many pairs of fine well styled hand made French bifocal eyeglasses. As they say, better than a facelift.<br /><br />Food<br />Being a gourmet and superb cook who has lost her sense of taste I no longer enjoy fine restaurants and would prefer a boucle back cheeseburger. I can only taste the 4 flavors: salt, sweet, hot and sour. Well there is now a 5th (umbechi or something - but I do not know it).<br /><br />Guilty Pleasure<br />I have no guilt this week. Ice cream for breakfast? I've earned it.

At least three books so far. I find him fascinating. My favorite book so far is This is How. And now I think I will have to add J.E. Robinson's book to my reading list, per Lawrence in Ohio's recommendation.<br /><br />Music<br />I've rediscovered Duncan Sheik (remember Duncan Sheik?) and realized that he is a very talented song writer. Nice voice too.<br /><br />Perfume<br />No perfume since I caught a cold last week and can't smell anything. :(<br /><br />Makeup<br />I'm loving the new Armani Maestro foundation and my Lancome lipstick in Beige Silk (natural everyday color).<br /><br />Frequently Worn Outfit/Item<br />J Crew Tippi cardigans over J Crew perfect fit tees. I'm not a J Crew fanatic, but I have to admit they make some great basics.<br /><br />Food<br />Mostly home-cooked, for a change.<br /><br />Guilty Pleasure<br />I dreamed of magazines last night-- I think I might go pick some up later today.<br /><br />Bane<br />This cold I've had for a week.<br /><br />Anticipation<br />Getting back into a normal work/life routine next week.<br /><br />Wishlist<br />Since I'm loving the foundation, I now want to try the new Armani Maestro concealer.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-4894730470689318732013-02-08T18:10:47.377-05:002013-02-08T18:10:47.377-05:00I hope you heal quickly, Gaia.

John Robison is Augusten Burroughs older, heterosexual brother. However, <i>Look Me in The Eye</i> is not a copy of <i>Running With Scissors,</i> but a complement to R.W.S. It is a fascinating look at Asperger's Syndrome from someone who lives with it successfully. If anything, John Elder's book is more harrowing than <i>Running With Scissors,</i> and I could not put it down!<br /><br /><br />Frequently worn items: Sweaters (jumpers). Cheaper than raising the thermostat on the central heating. Amethyst stud earrings.<br /><br /><br />Anticipation: My family coming to Ohio in late March for a family event.<br /><br /><br />Listening to: Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Bruce Cockburn. Cockburn's "Coldest Night of The Year" in particular.<br /><br /><br />Cooking and eating: Soups and stews! Made a very good low dairy (lactose intolerance here!) "cream" of mushroom soup. Mashed potatoes and a strong broth instead of cream.<br /><br /><br />My Royal obsession is with the House of Orange, and I was startled, but far from surprised when Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands announced her abdication. This will be the first time in over 100 years that The Netherlands will have a King.<br /><br /><br />I hope that all the friends of The Non-Blonde blog in the NE United States will stay safe and warm this weekend!<br /><br /><br />Lawrence in OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-50182494859327127882013-02-08T11:42:20.825-05:002013-02-08T11:42:20.825-05:00Happy engagement anniversary!
