David is out of town and when he is I stay up late. I can’t stand going to bed when he isn’t here. I can’t really explain why but it all seems so lonely and desperate without him. So, here I am in bed, with both kids and my laptop. Lucy refuses to go to sleep so I’ve made her lie here quietly while I “work”. I figure I’ll bore her to death. In the meantime I thought I’d catch you up on a couple of things.

Kids and I went to the mall tonight and I bought two new make-up brushes for $60. Now, before y’all are like “$60 are your serious?” I’m going to tell you why this normally frugal person spent $60 on make-up brushes. Well, I’ve had my current make-up brushes for approximately 23 years and I read recently that more than likely they are probably covered in some sort of mold or fungus. Since I’ve had my current set for 23 years I figure the $60 is a wise investment. I bought them at Sephora, they were pricey, but I love them.

I’m really disgusted by this election. Every time either candidate opens their mouth I want to scream. I watched 40 minutes of the debate last night and I didn’t hear them address one issue that really mattered to me. They talked about name-calling. They talked about how they should be talking about the issues and they even made the shocking discovery that Americans aren’t too fond of politics as normal but neither one decided to address any of these issues. I finally turned it off in disgust and watched “Jerry Maguire”.
