I whip my hair back and forth
We live on the water and sometimes the wind coming off the ocean is wild. Today was one of those mornings. It was just coming from every direction.

Now I have a question for people who use an iPhone and wear lipstick.
So I took this picture with the front facing camera which is MUCH lower quality than that back camera. Whenever I wear red or bright lipstick and take a picture with the front camera it puts like a black ring arounds my lips. Like Chola lips. Anyone experience that?
So today. I want you to make me a list. A friend of mine Kelly Sue asked for lists of 40 things for her birthday it was so neat seeing what people sent. I will only ask for 4. 4 of anything.
These are just ideas of what kind of list you could do.
4 things you need to do today, 4 nicknames you have for your pet, 4 ways to say red,
I will start.
Songs that I have on repeat today
1. Forget you
2. Friday night
3. Electric Twist
4. Peach Plum Pear
Four things I would like to eat for lunch but won't
1. Pad Thai
2. Chicken Parm
3. Some sort of melty cheese sandwich
4. French Fries
Names my mom calls me
1. Medula Petula
2. Matilda
3. Lucy
4. Dollface
I will pick my favorite list and think of something fun to do.

I have thought of doing makeup videos and I don't say this to be selfdeprecating but I am not that good at makeup. I am learning and improving but I am so not there yet. I also have a problem with symmetry. I can't make things look the same on either eye for example. (Mostly because I am nearly blind in one eye so when I have to close the good eye to put liner on the wabbling starts)
As for my list, we're in our third blizzard of the year, my brain is stuck on snow. Since I'm at my parents this week, and they're both at work, my list is 4 reasons I should shovel their drive way
1. It's a good ab work out
2. My mother hurt her back yesterday and really shouldn't lift anything
3. I'm definitely taking advantage of their well stocked cupboard
4. They just paid for fixing the heater in my car which is current parked in their drive way
Of course, this list must be countered by reasons I shouldn't shovel their driveway
1. My dad loves to use his snowblower
2. It's still snowing, so any work I do now will just be undone
3. I only brought my pretty winter boots, not my warm ones
4. My feet are still cold from running some errands this morning.
And of course, I will shovel their drive way, so a list of things I won't get to do because I'll be a good daughter:
1. Knitting slippers
2. Working on my thesis
3. Reading and commenting on blogs
4. Drinking hot chocolate with Baileys (ok, I'll probably do that after I'm done shovelling!!)
1) wear red lipstick with out the fear that it will be all over my face
2) make my grandma's butter tarts (perhaps even come up with a GF substitute)
3) paint well and more realistically... kinda
4) stop multi-tasking so voraciously and focus on doing one thing well with intention and joy.
List of places I'd go just for the food:
1) Greece.... everyday. I learned to love tomatoes here, they just never tasted that way before. The tzatiki, saganaki, hummus, gyros... oh mercy!
2) France. The copious amounts of cheese and the acceptability of sitting in a cafe all day eating it (and drinking wine and watching people)
3) Mexico. I dig anything with salsa, avocado, cilantro, beans, rice...
4) Africa. I've never been but when I eat at african restaurants or eat food that my clients bring... The texture, the spice!
Ok that' all I can do. Now I'm hungry and have to forage for food.

All About My New Cat, Ginger Peterson
1. She's from a shelter and came with the first and last names
2. Her meow sounds like a rusty gate
3. She purrs with her mouth open and purrs while breathing in and out, so it's really loud.
4. At 5 years old, I was worried no one else would take her. She also kept staring at me. I'm glad I did- both of my cats passed away this year and while she's no replacement, she's a great kitty.
