Protect your Skin for Drabby to Fabby

Welcome to The Drabby to Fabby Party hosted by dear Cheapskate Mom and Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom where you show a picture of your plain unadorned self, and then after spackling, hairspray, and mascara, a photo of the evidence that "You Clean Up Pretty Good". Simple enough, right? Except for the Fact that I am so Rarely Fabby, and Mostly Drabby, that a Fabby picture of me is akin to authenticated video of Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monster.

Drabby: No makeup, nothing, just me and my pets enjoying the attention. (Sorry for my dog's immodest pose btw, he didn't know I was going to post this.)

Fabby: All dressed up for a luncheon with my dear friend. I've always loved boots and argyle sweaters.
I am thankful that I had skin cancer at the tender age of 28 y/o because it taught me to take care of my skin. I have worn high SPF sunblock for the last twenty years and I never leave the house, even to walk the dog, without it. I have sensitive, oily skin and have tried EVERY Sunblock made and I swear by Hawaiian Tropic Oil Free Faces SPF 30 and Mary Kay Day Solution SPF 25. (The Mary Kay product is so gentle it doesn't sting or burn even if you apply it right after showering, I kid you not!). Both sunblocks can be applied both under and over make up and Do Not Cause Break Outs. (It is less than attractive to be closing in on 50 y/o with Acne!) Most skin damage and aging occurs from accumulated UV exposure, even overcast sunlight. I apply sunblock two to three times per day during a regular day and about every 90 minutes if I am outdoors hiking or at the beach. I use Aveeno SPF 70 for the rest of my body and it also works great.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing in this rare transformation. Please let me know if you have any skin secrets you use to beautify and protect your skin, the biggest organ of the human body.

Hometown Girls Weekend - Recipe for Perfect Moments

Take three girlfriends visiting from my hometown.

Add two nights away, first to Santa Barbara, and then to Santa Monica.

Sprinkle liberal doses of laughter, good conversation, delicious food and wine, more doses of good wine, spectacular scenery and weather, and leisurely shopping.

Let chill for approxmately fifty hours resulting in one happy, contented, appreciative woman.

For more perfect moments recipes, please visit the chief cook and bottlewasher of this enterprise, Lori of Weebles Wobblog. Thank you very much.

Dear Loser Letters - Because Life is Too Short to Hold it All Inside

Dear Large Chain Art store employee,

Another lady and I waited for fifteen minutes in the framing department to pick up our completed artwork. Please believe me when I walk all the way back to the front of store to ask you to please page the framing department guy that HE's Not There. Or maybe, he's invisible and I'm a liar?

Signed, I Retrieved My Own Picture, Thank you very much.


Dear Furniture Sales Guy,

You might not remember us but we ordered our new couch and chair 12 weeks ago!!! I understand the fabric is backordered and hopefully is due in this week, and pray tell, how do I know? I've called the store, numerous, countless times. I guess your phones don't make Outgoing calls! Or maybe your other customers just don't care about their stuff like we do?

Signed, Never Giving you my Business Again


Dear Man who called about Buying the Used Minivan,

Thank you so much for your interest in buying our used car. You, however, are too Stupid to buy our car, as you did not LEAVE a return phone number.

Dear House,

A self cleaning oven is a step in the right direction, but what I am really looking for is a Self Cleaning House! C'mon, we have the technology to make babies sound like investment advisors and land an ATV on Mars, this is NOT TOO Much to Ask! Especially since my hometown girlfriends from Ohio are visiting us this weekend before I spend a girl's weekend away with them in Santa Barbara and Santa Monica. C'mon, pretty please? I'll get your carpets cleaned professionally...

Signed, Not to Be Confused with the Other Martha


Dear Kid Who Stole My son's bike,

I bet you were suprised and significantly humilated, (oh, sorry for using such big words), to have a petite, middle aged woman get all up in your face and take her son's bike BACK. That's right, yessirree, I thought so, darn right. Learn anything?
I just wanted to leave you with this parting thought courtesy of the boy whose bike you stole and is now returned to him, "It Must Suck to Be you."

Signed, It Sure Doesn't Suck to be Us!
