Happy St. Patrick’s! — wait, that was last week. But doesn’t it feel like it was just St. Patrick’s Day? WOW! This week went by quickly. I could have sworn we were just talking about fish & chips.

Not there’s a right or wrong time to talk about fried food. Matter of fact, I’d say it’s an underused topic of conversation.

Anywho! I’m doing my best to rise and shine over here, but Mother Nature isn’t cooperating. There’s a light, annoying drizzle outside, like the kind where you just wish it would either unload and start pouring, because at least that would do the plants some good, or stop altogether so the sun can come out.

Tabs votes for the later.

Which reminds me. Sometimes he’s such a grouch! It’s adorable when he makes his little angry old man face with his whiskers turned down. That’s the face he makes when I take him out for a walk after a rain and the ground is still wet. On the one hand, he loves being outside; on the other, he hates getting his paws wet.

It’s so cute! After he steps in a puddle, he’ll raise his little paw like he stepped on a thorn, and look up at me and mewl as if to say, “This is bullsh*t, Mom.”

I swear he thinks I’m responsible for the weather. When it rains, he’d probably fire me if he could.

Ya know, I think it’s time for some coffee, so I’ll be right back. Why don’t you enter this weekend’s giveaway while I’m gone? 🙂

What folks are saying…

“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)

“Hi Karen and Tabs. Wow! Thanks so much for this! It’s hard to believe I actually won something. I can’t wait to shop my little heart out! Thanks again. Love to Tabs! And I love your blog with the Tabs stories. ;+)”
-Sophie, St Petersburg, FL

“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK

“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! 🙂 Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline

“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

    I always used to get caught in the rain when I ran track we used to joke that they never cancelled practice or a meet until there was a tornado about to blow past the track , one time it was thunder storming pretty badly and they didn’t tell us to go inside until the rain was so heavy that you couldn’t hear the start gun. Being soaked to the bone while wearing skimpy tanktops and shorts was never any fun. And I think four cats is too many cats

    Here in Vancouver we can get all four seasons in one day so getting caught in the rain (or other forms of precipitation) is a regular event. I once boarded a bus in the sunshine, got off 20 minutes later under a cloudy sky, and immediately it started raining then HAILING. Five minutes later I arrived at my front door and the hail suddenly stopped. Yep.

    Right now we have three cats; that seems like a good limit to me. Four cats was a bit too much like living in a cat circus.

Between the spa music and my eyes closed (and a xanax to help me relax) I seriously felt like I was at a spa with construction going on outside. Now off to donate stuff to Goodwill that I’ve been meaning to drop off. Have a great day all!

    One of the worse times to get caught in the rain is when you are carrying your laptop in a non waterproof bag around campus. I hate it when that happens.

    Anyways, Thanks for the giveaway!
    love your blog and you are so awesome

    I remember getting caught in the rain right after having a Math midterm/final. :3 It was sort of light at first so I figured “Oh, I’ll just walk home, it shouldn’t be too bad right?” and then it started pouring…and then it started hailing. XD By the time I got back to my dorm, I was completely drenched! I was able to fill a small bucket with the water wrung from my clothes. X3

    Hi Karen-

    You mentioned having read the Hunger Games twice. Wondering if you have ever read the “Outlander” series by Diana Gabaldon series and the side stories of Lord John Grey. I am currently on my second read of the series, which is no small undertaking most of her books being 800 yo 1400 pages (on my iPad). She has quite a cult following. I find her books and characters addicting.

The last time I was caught in the rain I was doing a training run for said marathon, and it was a freak LA storm with lightning happening on both sides of me, one block distance. Scaaary. But I adore rainy weather!

    Too many cats = when you cannot properly care for each and every one of them, and not just financially. I currently have 7 (which I KNOW is a lot; I didn’t intend to but I took in two families of strays over the years) and while I love each of them to death, I find there are 3 I don’t pay much attention to at all because the others are quite in my face. I have to make an effort to give them all tons of love. My cats are all quite loving and not at all aloof, so it makes it hard to give each of them the attention and time they deserve. I will never have this many again once they have passed.

    There is actually a simple mathematical formula for the maximum approved number of cats:
    Let P = the number of adult humans in a household
    Let C = the number of cats in a household
    if C > P+1 then C is TOO MANY

    You reminded me of a funny story! I left the US for the first time ever on a cruise – our first stop was Haiti! Yup – US to Haiti. It’s incredibly beautiful! Anyway, I was on a catamaran with my boyfriend at the time and his family, ready to snorkel away. I strapped on my snorkel gear, and little did I know, breathing through that tube would cause me SO MUCH anxiety! The catamaran drivers explained to us that if we were bitten by any sea creatures they’d have to pee on our skin to kill the poison! Doesn’t sound like my idea of a good time… So I got into the water and FREAKED! I totally cried like a baby and got back onto the catamaran, and had three of the complementary rum punches. Hey, sitting on a little boat in the Haitian sea ain’t nothing to complain about! But you won’t see me trying to snorkel again any time soon :P. See ya Karen & Tabs!

    The worst time I got caught in the rain was when I had my first daughter 7 years ago. We had to take her in for her 2 week check up and it rained SO HARD that year, that we ended getting stuck in a flooded street. It was horrible. I was hysterical because as my husband drove you could just see the water getting higher and higher. Luckily my husband managed to get out and we had to reschedule her appt.

    The last time I got caught in the rain was after a History class I’m taking got out a few weeks ago. I hurried outside to run to my car (as it was already drizzling) and suddenly, the clouds just unloaded on me. It was seriously raining like a shower had turned on–and worst thing was it was also super windy, so even though I kept trying to cover my head, it was blowing straight into my face as well. I was positively soaked through by the time I reached my car, like I had taken a dip in the pool fully clothed 🙂

I bought some of the Pantone lipglosses and eyeliners at Sephora and from what I’ve used so far (couldn’t wait to try it when I got home!) it is awesome. The glosses (4 for $20!) are fab and the eye liners are stay on colors. I decided to use the orange one for my lips, because it’s no no on the eyes.

    How many cats is too many? There’s never too many! OK, well, obviously if their welfare is impacted and you can’t take care of them properly… but one of my dreams is to own a cat ranch. Won’t happen though as my husband is allergic, but it’s still a dream!

    The last time I got caught (really caught) in the rain was with my mother. We went to eat at an italian restaurant after I’d walked in on my brand new EX boyfriend eating dinner with his new woman. I was devastated, but after a good cry, glass of Italian wine, the comfort only mom can give, and a good dose of unavoidable fresh rain on the way home, the pain of seeing him with someone else began to melt away from me, and I was able officially move on. It was as if mother nature was crying with me, but also laughing and encouraging me to run through the rain and let it wash away the pain of the past so that I could have a clean start for the future 🙂 I wouldn’t have been able to get through that moment without my mom, and it will forever be one of my most powerful and cherished memories of us together.

    Every time I attempt to apply makeup on someone else I get the giggles. I have no idea why, my friends ask me to do their eyeliner but I can’t because I starting laughing! I think its a nerves thing. I never laugh when I’m doing my own makeup, it’s really strange.

    We have two cats. I think 3 (or maybe 4…) would be the ideal number, but I was lucky to sneak two in here! One is terribly anti-social and a bit of a computer nerd, and the other has some “special needs.” Tess cannot jump, so she climbs instead (up curtains, bed spreads, human legs…). My husband had to set up a decoy keyboard for Callie to keep her from trying to type while he is working. She knows more keyboard shortcuts than I do!

    Since I’ve been depending on public transportation/walking the past six years, I tend to get caught in the rain a lot. My biggest problem is that the more portable umbrellas tend to break very easily, and my bubble umbrella (which is a must due to the wind) is a little annoying to tote around.

    Once upon a time I would have told you that you could never have too many cats. However, at one point about 15 years ago I was living in a place where there was no rescue and the only shelter was a kill shelter. People would transfer back to the states and leave their pets behind and I just couldn’t let them starve or get eaten and ended up with eleven cats. Yeesh, that was way too many. Even so, I wouldn’t change a thing. They would still all come back with me. All have since passed on, the last one 1 1/2 years ago of a series of strokes. Good kitties, but together they made for a hella litterbox cleaning chore.

    I don’t drive, so I’ve gotten caught in the rain a lot. It happened all the time when I lived in Buffalo, NY and you couldn’t use an umbrella most of the time because of all the wind.

    I’ve only ever been caught in the rain once and that was in college. It was as if an ocean decided to rain down on me as I was crossing the quad. The downpour seriously came out of nowhere and disappeared just as quickly but not before my clothes, socks and sneakers were completely soaked. It was the wettest I’ve ever been in my life. I remember getting back to my dorm and wringing out my clothes and hair.

    Now I never leave the house without an umbrella.

    My last great adventure was just today! My boyfriend and I went hunting for weird Roadside America attractions in New Jersey – we found a giant Wonder Woman statue selling mufflers.

    Caught in the rain? Of course for a college student! I got into the library and I was DRENCHED. People were laughing at me! I ran to the bathroom and tried to dry my hair with a hand dryer -_-

    My last grand adventure was this morning – a razor clam dig! Equal parts exhilarating and grotesque.

    I once saw an incredible little circus in Spain with trained cats – they would all come out and sit on their own little seats and do crazy tricks when called upon – trapezes and tight ropes and such. But because they were still cats, every so often one would get sulky and just walk out. Back to their dressing room I presume!

    I actually really love the rain, and now of course I live in the desert so I never get to see it any more.

    I get caught in the rain all the time because I hate driving in the rain (had a bad accident years ago). I don’t think I have too many cats and think that as long as each cat is getting enough attention, and you’re able to keep up with the cost of cats (food, vet bills, etc.), and your house doesn’t smell like you have a lot of cats, then you don’t have too many cats 😉

    I got caught in the rain once with my fiancee…we had only been dating 3 or 4 months and decided to spend a long weekend in Mobile Bay (we are from Birmingham, AL).. It actually rained so hard the entire time we were there that you could hardly drive because the streets were soo flooded. But the first night we were there we went out on this long pier and it started pouring rain..we couldnt see to make it back to the car, so we just huddled up under an awning..soooo romantic!

    This is really random, but… Have you seen the new Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Eclosion? It is SO prettyyy!! I’ve never ever bought anything from Chanel, makeup or otherwise, but I knew I had to have this even before I saw how gorgeous the colors looked on fair skin.. I think the beachy-sunset colors would be perfect for my dad’s beach wedding next month! http://jaydeddreaming.com/2012/02/chanel-les-4-ombres-quadra-eye-shadow.html?m=1

    I have been caught in the rain; it was fantastic! I was on vacation with my BFF and we were lost, trying to find our hotel, when it started pouring. We were soaked and freezing, but it was a great time.
