While I was recovering at home I watched a LOT of T.V since I had to be in bed 90% of the time.
I came across the usual daytime court shows and talk shows, but one night I got sucked in by a train wreck of a show. “Little Miss Perfect” is like a big pile of roadkill on a highway.

There is a pageant for the title about every week it seems, so as pageants go this one is no biggie but the parents...OMG the parents!!! The mothers!!!
These people act as if their girls are competing for the Miss Universe crown. You can tell the moms are living vicariously through their daughters, they are not “typical” pageant moms as they are a little rough around the edges.

Every episode I’ve seen has made me cringe at some point, putting acrylic nails on an 8 year old?? spray tanning and hair extensions?
One mom actually said to her daughter “We are not doing Play*boy...you’re not 18 yet” Seriously? that’s the best you can imagine for your daughter at 18?(or any age)
(Watch her on the video at 1:27 and see what I mean)

As a kid I did pageants because my best friend did and we wanted to hang out even more, the most our moms did to get us ready was sponge roll our hair the night before, we didn’t wear make-up and we wore our Sunday dresses and the same bathing suit we wore to the pool all summer.
I hate to talk about little girls this way but, I can’t help but think that some of them end up looking like little strippers in their get-ups, that’s just sad to me.

I met The Girl at Ulta because I needed some eye shadow.
I’m lucky the nearest Sephora is 40 minutes away, or I’d be broke.

Want to know what I got? you do don’t ya?
Since I just highlighted my hair and I’m unsure if I will keep it this way or not, I bought small non-expensive items but I really love everything:

Ulta cheek color in a shade I really like, can’t see the name of it but it’s a flattering rosy-ish color. NYX Eyeshadow-baby pink/cotton candy/spring flower, I love that it goes on like a light cream shadow but it does not crease at all, also the compact says “Triple Shadows for Sexy Babe’s Eyes Only”...how can you not love that?!
I don’t know the lipstick shade but its kind of mauve-y and I got a lip tint which I’ve never used before, but I like this one as it’s not harsh on the lips, it’s Palladio in Berry.
The eyeliners are Ulta Minerals in navy and charcoal gray.

In other news I finally get my car back today! I can’t wait, the rental car was nice to have and I am appreciative of my trusty ole insurance which covered the cost, but this car rides rough and that is something I don’t need with a hurt back, there are other issues but I will stick to doing reviews on make-up...but if y’all twist my arm I’ll give you my thoughts on a certain small SUV that rhymes with marshmallow PEEP

I obviously have nothing substantial to say but I am sitting here watching TV, and yet another commercial about eyelashes is on, that’s the third one in the last 30 minutes.
Why the sudden obsession with lashes? everyone is wearing fake ones, getting extensions and putting lash-growing potions on them.
I really resent the fact that it’s making me pay way too much attention to mine, that’s one thing I’ve never given much thought to, I just put on mascara and call it a day..now I’m flipping out really noticing when I lose one, wishing they were longer, fuller…
I don’t need that BROKEeffinSHIELDS!
I have plenty to keep me busy like worrying about the fullness of my ass! :(

Thanks!

I’m back at work today and feeling pretty good...not too terribly doped up
I’ve missed my blog and you all too of course!

I hope that I can get caught up on blog reading tonight, I’m SO ready to get back in the swing of things in every way.

Thanks for all your comments, emails etc.

At the ER they did X-rays and a CAT scan, nothing is broken. I was sent home with pain meds and muscle relaxers which have helped.
I’ve been in excruciating pain since Thursday. I went to my Doctor yesterday and he added an anti-inflammatory along with what the ER gave me.
Basically I just have to try to manage the pain, get some Physical Therapy and rest. I’m off work for a week, in the main time I’m going ape shit being stuck in the house...but it could have been SO much worse, I’m just thankful I’m O.K.

Thanks for checking on me, you all are just the best! Love ya! 

I’m still in a lot of pain and sometimes it gets to be too much, I’m hanging in here and trying to be a big girl.
We will know what happens with my car tomorrow morning, I haven’t thought about that much...I just want to feel better and get my life back.
I miss working, getting in my car and going anywhere, I miss everything.
Being at home 24-7 is not fun, it actually sucks a lot.
