It's a Boy...

...for Britney Spears.

As a person with some fertility issues, I just want to puke. Somebody hand me a blue-colored cigar and let's celebrate.

Do you think she registered for a car seat at Babies 'R' Us?

Update on Condiments

You may recall my post about the size of discount store condiment packaging and the potential related hazards. I thought you'd appreciate an update. We have in fact learned from our mistakes. Yesterday we signed up at Costco, which is an awesome place. As we wound around the aisles, marveling at the various appliances, recreational equipment, books, cleaning products, produce, meat, and other delightful items, we eventually found ourselves face to face with a two-pack of enormous bottles of ketchup.

We laughed and walked on.

But we did get the two-pack of mustard. The bottles are smaller and seem sturdier.

Wish us luck.

My New Favorite Store...

...is Ulta. It's, like, my "ulta-favorite" now. (Imagine me flipping my hair and doing a Valley Girl accent. Oh, and sorry for that horrible pun. I couldn't help myself.)

Seriously, though, I'm like a kid in a candy store there. During college, a friend and I would enjoy browsing in Sephora during our semi-annual trips to the Galleria in Dallas. Those shopping days were so much fun. One time I bought a nail polish that was a metallic Tiffany blue color. It cost $10, but I didn't care. Splurging was allowed on those days.

So now we have an Ulta in Burleson. I may never leave town now that I don't have to go to Fort Worth for the good stuff. Between the new shops here and online shopping, I'm set.

Now, some of you might be thinking, Uh, don't you think you should buy your makeup and hair products at the grocery store or somewhere that has stuff that normal people use? I do use some "normal" stuff--Suave shampoo (though I sometimes use the Aveda shampoo, which my husbands likes) and I do use Cover Girl blush sometimes. I'm pretty frugal, but I do like quality products. The right ones are worth it.

Here are some of my latest, greatest purchases:

• Urban Decay's mineral makeup (great for my skin) in Illusion (the color)
• Opi nail polish in My Chiuahua Bites (love their color names--wish I could name makeup colors for a living)
• Maybelline eyeliner in Sapphire Glimmer (I'll try that out tomorrow; I know it's not a designer brand really, but buying it feels so much more of a luxury when you buy it at Ulta)

Target, don't worry--you'll always be my top favorite.
