Tony had an international firefighters convention in Las Vegas last week so I drove there to meet up with him while my parents watched Gavin. Ironically, my oldest and best friend from California, Cyndi, was going to be there with her husband and some friends during the same time. So we all met up and had a great time! Tony and I stayed at Caesar's Palace and, due to a mistake, they upgraded our room. It was nice (to say the least)! The top photo is of Cyndi and me at the pool at Caesars. On Thursday night Tony and I attended the IAFF banquet dinner and concert and then we met up with Cyndi at a dueling piano bar. I'm sorry to say that Tony did not win one of the two firefighter addition Harley Davidson motorcycles that were being raffled off. However, he did win $1000 with a straight flush while briefly playing video poker after breakfast Friday morning.
My friend, Harmony, told me about this makeup company that has been bought out by Nordstrom and is trying to get rid of the makeup in their old packaging. I'm advertising this on my blog because everything on their website is dirt cheap. Most items are $1 (lipsticks, eye shadows, nail polish). Some things are $3 (body wash, lotion). I purchased some things and I'm pretty happy with them. The packaging in great (it reminds me of Sephora's name brand stuff). And the makeup is basically department store quality. But let's face it... you can't do better that a buck for makeup anywhere. And right now you can get $2 shipping (for orders over $25) by using this code during checkout: EGSHIPT. This offer expires on August 31st. Here's a link to their website http://www.eyeslipsface.com/
Lately Gavin has been really into coloring and painting. He is very meticulous about it and he's getting quite good at it. Here Gavin is displaying one of his dot art paintings (and of course, I make him wear a smock).
