I'm blogging from the mountains of New Mexico, where my family and I are snowed in. The roads are closed. Neither the snow or the sense of claustrophobia will let up. Hoping to be able to go home on Sunday.
I'm greatly encouraged and warmed by the outpouring of sweetness from you guys. Thank you. Sincerely, thank you.
There was a flurry (ha ha. snow humor. indulge me.) of traffic from Pink Truth. For those of you Pink Truthers, welcome. Since you are interested, here's the lowdown on my Mary Kay Pink Past: I was a consultant. A very very BAD mary kay consultant. Money was tight, I thought it was a good idea to spend a whole bunch on inventory. It wasn't, as it goes, but oh well. I learned a lot through my experiences, and became a more confident individual during that time - whether it was Mary Kay related or not is unclear to me now.
Once I gave my sister and mom 'facials' at the dining room table. After one product - perhaps the concealer - her face broke out in bright red spots. My mouth gaped. Mom said, "Washitoff,washitoff,washitoff, WASH IT OFF!" And she did. But her face burned and hurt and she did not look especially her best after that experience, and that is putting it very nicely. I quit a little while later.
Soooo. Um. I'm down to my last two Diet Cokes. We have diapers and milk and food, and a guy brought us toilet paper earlier. But TWO diet cokes is clearly inadequate.
Deliveries of 12 packs by any means at all greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Being stranded is bad enough, but I have to tell you that when I read the part about two diet Cokes my stomach dropped down to my knees. OH the agony of a diet Coke ration - it makes me twitch just thinking about it. Could you order a pizza and ask them to bring you 10 two liters? But I guess if the roads are closed....
Do you think you could trade some of that new toilet paper for a 12 pack? I'm just thinking about priorities here....
Too funny about your Mary Kay mishap. Okay, maybe funny's not the word. If you're embarrassed or feel bad about that, I have a story.
Friend of mine used to sell MK also, quit and now sells another skin care line. Hosted a party for her. She starts to tell my friends and me about the "4 step skin care program" but messes up her words. Instead, she says, "and now the 4 skin care..."
There's no recovering that one.
Sent the Diet Coke man out, he should be there in about an hour.
Oh, my boys would WANT to be snowed in, that is, if they had their Gameboys...
Do you have chocolate? oh, I hope so.
Mary
PS-I am enjoying the freedom of a new laptop and was thinking the other day of you blogging from your bathroom. I haven't tried that particular location. yet.
Wow! What a bummer! About the Diet Coke. If you run out of diapers you can wing it, but nothing can be done for the lack of Diet Coke! We had a wee bit of a tornado scare/warning today. It was enough to send this ex-CA girl into the hallway with the kiddos. Well yeah, we were supposed to do that anyway. I hope the weather lets up soon for you.
