I was on a roll

October 24, 2007 by Tricia

I was on such a roll yesterday. Blogging away on almost all my blogs like I haven’t done for a while. No, I wasn’t feeling better, but I suddenly had a lot more energy than I’ve had for a while and I got a lot of work done.

It felt good.

Now here I am, still blogging away, but behind! I really wish that I’d get my Wordless Wednesday posts up one day by midnight.

I still have a few posts to catch with though so it will be a little while before I get to post some photos that I find intriguing. Speaking of photos … I still have a whole slew on my digital camera that I have to upload to my computer – really great photos! Ah, when will I find the time to work on them?

I just gave myself a virtual makeover

October 23, 2007 by Tricia

If you’re tired of wearing the same make up that you have for years or if you think it’s time to try a different hairstyle or perhaps try a different hair color you’ve got to visit this Virtual Makeover site.

I’ve spent the last half hour trying all the different options and having a great time!

The Virtual Makeover site allows you to upload a photo of yourself and try out different hair styles, hair colors and highlights, hair lengths, a whole slew of cosmetics such as lipstick, lip gloss, lipliner, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blush, and nail polish. Heck you can even see how you would look if your teeth were whiter!

You can sign up for a free account or you can pay for a membership that would give you access to the full line of services and options for anywhere from 3 months to 12 months. Just to give you an example a 12 month membership is only $29.95 which comes to only $2.49 per month.

Since I was just checking out the site I tried the virtual makeover using a free account. I couldn’t upload my own photo with the free account, but I found a photo of a lady who had similar features and experimented with that.

I have wavy short hair now so I tried a few different looks with medium and long hair, and then I tried out a few different lipsticks – changing the lip shape too as I went. Then I moved on to eye shadow, liner and mascara as well as blush.

I found a look that I liked with medium wavy dark blond hair so I then went to the accessory area to try on hats, jewelry and sunglasses.

If I had a membership and was able to upload my own photo I’d probably still be on the site trying things out. It was fun.

Oh and when you are trying the various cosmetics the site tells you what the product line is and the exact name of the color that you are trying so if you were to find something that you really liked you’d be able to purchase it the next time you were out shopping.

Go get a virtual makeover!

Grumbly rainy day

October 23, 2007 by Tricia

Another day goes by and I still have a headache? Well it’s been pouring rain all day – scratch that – it’s been pouring rain since 1 am so maybe the rain has something to do with my headache and generally sour mood today?

Chris has the day off work and he was kind enough to go down to the passport office for me to try to get them to fix the error on my new passport. Remember they gave me a different birthplace. Uh huh. I’m really pleased with that since I’m going out of the country in two weeks! They did tell my husband that they’d put a rush on it and that my new passport would be available for pick up in two days. I just hope the new one doesn’t have any errors.

Since Chris is home today we were going to go out and get our hair cut and I wanted to do a little more shopping for my upcoming trip to Las Vegas, but I’m just not feeling up to going out and battling the crowds.

I didn’t tell you about the run in – literally – that I had with two women who budded in front of me in line at Walmart on Sunday did I? I’ll tell you about that one later. Some people are so darn rude!

Buy and sell tickets at Viagogo – concerts, sports and live theater events

October 22, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever purchased tickets for an upcoming concert, the theater or perhaps a sporting event only to have something come up causing you to not be able to go? What did you end up doing with those tickets? Did you give them to a friend or did you simply write them off as money lost?

Well, if you ever find yourself in that kind of situation again, and of course if you live in Europe, you might want to visit Viagogo. Not only can you sell tickets that you are unable to use on Viagogo, but you’ll also be able to purchase tickets to a wide variety of events. For example if you are a sports fan you might want to visit Viagogo to search for Football Tickets, Cricket Tickets or perhaps Rugby Tickets. Perhaps you’ll be able to get tickets for your favorite team?

I live in North America, but if I could get to London in Mid-December I’d try to get tickets for the Thin Lizzy & Queensryche concert at Apollo Hammersmith in London on December 13th.

I love Thin Lizzy. I’ve been a fan of the band ever since I first heard their music as a teen. It’s so sad that the lead singer passed away so long ago. He was extremely talented and I’m sure the band would have been huge if he’d still been around.

I have a personal interest in Thin Lizzy as well. You see I work with, and am good friends with, the lead singers first cousin at the hospital. It would be so cool to go and see the band that her cousin started. Plus, the price of the Thin Lizzy concert tickets is fairly reasonable.

Viagogo has tickets listings for other great bands that I’d love to see as well like The Police and the Sex Pistols. Check it out – I’m sure you’ll find some great tickets there just like I did.

Headachey day

October 22, 2007 by Tricia

I have such a headache today.

I used to get really bad headaches all the time when I was in my teens, but I grew out of them when I was in my early twenties. Well, grew out of them or something changed that helped put an end to the terrible daily headaches that I’d get.

Now I only seem to get them around that time of the month for the most part. Lately though I’ve been getting a bad headache at least once a week. The kind that makes one of your eyes ache and burn.

The whole right side of my head is affected with this one and nothing I do seems to relieve it. I’ve eaten, I’ve taken Tylenol, I’ve taken my pain pills that I normally take for my crohns … the only thing left to try is perhaps an aspirin as that sometimes helps.

I have a feeling that if this doesn’t go away soon I’ll be stuck on the couch unable to get up.
