just a small helping

I need to go to Sephora or something and buy some make-up. I don't need to wear heavy make-up or anything but just a few things to even out the skin tone and give me a little color. I look rather peaked these days so I should wear a bit of blush so people don't ask if I have just donated blood. Maybe I will look at lipstick. I have fantasies of wearing a "crimson gash" but I know it wouldn't quite work for me. I have a rather large mouth and red lipstick has a habit of making me look like a clown. Though there are some people who are into that kind of thing. I need to find a nice sheer pinky color that isn't too boring. (Ms. Gennie doesn't wear brownish or purplish lipstick thank you)
I need blush, a tinted moisturizer with spf (because I am too lovely to want to have skin cancer) and something for my lips.
Mascara and good jewelry ain't cutting it anymore for me to maintain my delusions of glamorous Mummy at home.

My son who tends to sleep on his side is developing a case of doll hair that lasts all day. What is doll hair you say? Maybe if you had dolls with plastic hair you might know what I am talking about. A sort of frizzy askew look where hair might stick out at odd angles. One side of his hair will be smooth and tidy and the other side looks schizophrenic. It looks especially amusing when he starts babbling and making noises so he looks a bit like an old man complaining about "Kids today! Why back in my day we had to work in the factories and eat cardboard sandwiches and we were happy. We felt lucky to have cardboard because my Dad had to eat dirt and he felt lucky too."
Where was I?

I thought I was going to make pizza but we are out of yeast so I think pizza will wait until Saturday. So I have to look through the kitchen and see what else I can put together. Last night it was chicken pie. Always a hit with the savages. I also need to come up with a cake to make at the weekend.

I am having a craving for Cornpops. I don't keep Cornpops in the house because they would be gone in a day. In my world I think Cornpops is the greatest sugar cereal ever invented. Hands down. Forget this Lucky Charms business or that lame cocoa puffs. It is Cornpops all the way. Cap'n Crunch is a close second with its dandy roof-of-the-mouth exfoliating action. I could spend a whole day eating bowl after bowl of Cornpops and watching Looney Tunes cartoons until I passed out in a sugar-induced frenzy.
Instead I will eat toast and think about the importance of getting fiber in my diet.

really you had to be there.

Last night Mr. Jenner was smiling to himself and I said, "what" He said, "I was thinking about if there was a website that sold sheep. It could be called Netflocks." I groaned and he said, "yeah well you asked for it." I said, "Oh is that what you tell people you rape?" Then we went into a semi-amusing conversation about sexual assault. Really it was amusing if you were there.
A bit later we are in bed and Mr. Jenner is smiling again and I said, "oh what is it?" He says, "No. No I can't tell you. It is an awful pun and you won't want to hear it." I being a masochist ask him to tell me. He refuses. I begged him. In fact I think I offered to show my breasts. (don't ask)
Which is sad. I am begging to be told an awful pun.
He says, "What if there was a line of window treatments or curtains with images of people being horribly abused. They could be called, 'rapes'!"
I nearly choked on my saliva laughing.

And that was another bedtime conversation with the Jenners. Yep. Sheep and rape.

I made rhubarb sorbet today. It is excellent! Though next time I might use a bit less sugar so the tart flavor can come out more.
