Good morning Starshine!
The following images and notions were from last night, before I went to bed.
One of the conversations T. Sheffield and I had when we met was English food, mainly "beans on toast". Heinz beans, to be specific. The beans must be Heinz! I've had beans on toast here in CA with European friends.
To which I then tried explaining to my 3 new English friends
"chipped beef on toast".
It's the same concept. Every military kid (over the age of 30) in America knows "chipped beef on toast". And I say over the age of 30 because MREs are more advanced now; pastas, meats, even vegetarian options, but I grew up on occasional lunches of "chipped beef on toast". A lot of old school diners still serve it. Little kids don't realize it's a military food. It looks disgusting, it's an acquired taste, a taste I still crave few times a year, like last night. Only now I eat it without the bread.
Stouffer's makes a modern chipped beef which I picked up at Gelson's for $683.24! Ok maybe not $683.24, it was on sale, though I can't imagine why "creamed chipped beef" isn't just flying off the shelves!
Now made with zero trans fat! Hooray!

I'll spare you the picture of what "chipped beef on toast" looks like in a bowl without the toast.
So last night,
People who see me pretty regularly, but didn't see me over the weekend asked, "What did you do to your face? It looks thinner or something!"
Well, this is what I did to my face...
(Hand selfie!)
It's called Loreal Eye Defense. And they also have a Loreal Blur which I hear is Photoshop in a bottle, but I'm starting with Loreal Eye Defense, before getting addicted to yet more products that just make me more neurotic.
I only started using Loreal Eye Defense Sunday morning. Today will be day 3. In my mind I think it works. Botox is what, $16 a unit, this bottle is $19 and looks like it will last me at least 2 or 3 weeks. We'll see.
Not that I get Botox. *cough cough*
In conclusion,
Last night,
At work,
I overheard a couple I had just poured a few cocktails to talking about his upcoming surgery. They were a young couple. Didn't get any details about his surgery but they were nonetheless upbeat, in love, happy, accepting, and living life. It was beautiful. They were beautiful. When the couple was ready to cash out I told them I bought their last round of drinks and wished them a good night. I didn't buy their last round because he was having surgery, I did it because they were just a sweet and lovely couple spite their immediate circumstance. They were so grateful, humble even, over just drinks, they were the last thought on my mind before I finally drifted off to sleep. I really hope everything works out for them. And I hope I see them again to celebrate... first round's on me!
