The three d's.
Today has been a day of design, disaster and inDulgence (yes, I'm reaching there).
After I got home from church this morning (around 11am) I sat in front of the computer. I stayed there until gone 2:30pm. I was sorting out an S2 style for my LJ. It's working now, although nowhere near finished. It doesn't look right on Rat's browser, and various things need tweaking to make them how I want them. But it's certainly usable.
The disaster was in the kitchen. I really don't know why I try. But then, I get bored of all the old things. I was doing a fish dish today. The recipe sounded lovely. There were two major problems with it though. It was far too lemony. And the fish was raw in the middle. It had been frozen and it wasn't quite defrosted fully. I had planned to cook it for a lot longer than the recipe said, but after an extra five minutes I checked it and it seemed cooked. Until we started cutting into it properly. I should just stick with bolog and curry. It's so hard sticking to a diet when you can't cook.
The indulgence wasn't quite indulgence. It's just that indulgence was the closest thing to a word beginning with D that was an synonym of pamper. And pamper was the best thing I could think of to describe putting on makeup.
You see, when I visited my parents just after new year, I decided to order some makeup. I'd chucked out a load of old stuff, and wanted some replacements in the unlikely occurence that I might want to wear some. I got three lipsticks (all of which are quite lovely), two eyeshadows, and an anti-ageing cream that came with the pack (it was a special offer). Of the eyeshadows, one I've tried on and although the colour is great I've had awful trouble with it. Firstly it's a liquid type thing, which meant it went on far too thick. I also have no idea how to put eyeshadow on nowadays - it just looked awful. The second eyeshadow I can't even get to work - I think there might be a seal I have to break, but I don't know how. I think this needs a serious phonecall with my mother tomorrow.
I have to phone mother dear anyway. She has a slight issue with her phone - in that there is no option for text messaging on it. Just an inbox. So I'll have to see if she's got anywhere with that.
Not looking forward to tomorrow. The first of five, full-days of working. It's going to be tiring! |
