Well hello Internets! It’s been a while! You look great — did you change your hair? No? Well, it looks lovely. Really.

Yeah, I know, I HAVEN’T POSTED IN A WHILE. It’s been a hard week. And by “hard week” I mean “week in which I had a mani/pedi and bought new blush and a LIP GLOSS OMG you all!!!”

Haaaaard.

(Manicure is OPI Pinking of You, pedicure is Dutch Tulips, also from OPI; blush is Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick in Rosy Blush and lip gloss is Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss in Currant. I may also have bought two more pairs of City Fit Cafe capri pants from J. Crew this week. Possibly. In case you are keeping track.)

So, uh, yes! That was my week. Woo exciting.

Next week I’m continuing my bid to make the world a Better Place — oh, wait, I mean continuing my navel gazing: I have a dermatologist appointment on Monday to talk about why I have wrinkles AND acne (NOT FAIR! seriously). I am trying to come up with a not-shallow way to ask for something, ANYTHING, to make me look less old and more 20. Anything topical that is because no way am I letting anyone inject anything into my face.

I may be shallow but I have my limits, you all.

Adding to my obsession with my skin and nails (and do not even get me started about my HAIR which is a MESS) is this:

Can you read that? No? Let me read it for you! Or at least summarize: next Saturday I’ll be signing copies of Sleep is for the Weak at the Full Circle. 11:15 am — be there or be somewhere substantially less fun, I promise.

We can talk about my wrinkles! You know you want to.

WOW! If I wasn’t far far away, I would totally be there with book in hand! Congrats!

at least you’re just going in for a skin consult. I’m going in for the Full On Tummy Tuck— free from the great province of Ontario to the mothers of natural twins. Yee haw! Then maybe I can slide a bit more easily into my JCrew City Fit capris.

I don’t think I’m above facial injections. Possibly. But probably n ot.

I was wondering where you were….hoping it wasn’t another midnight breathing debacle.

If only you’re book signing were here, in the PNW, or I were there in the South, I was most assuredly come and buy a book and get it signed in person. Because then I could meet you, one of my most favorite blog writers.

So I was thinking this very morning- I know she has no idea who I am or anything, but I’m going to leave a note and make sure Charlie is ok if she hasn’t posted anything new! You know, ’cause I know who YOU are and all! Glad your week has been uneventful and full of shopping!

Oh, and Botox? Would totally do it, the pain doesn’t last too long! And adult acne? Sucks, but I use ProActive and it works very well. Good luck finding something!

Wish I was closer! What’s up w/ the website though—you should get top billing, not Pearl the Buffalo over there on the right. She’s totally upstaging you, yk?

Can you please ask your doctor why I also have acne? I never had a pimple until I turned 25 and now my skin resembles that of a teenager. Turning 30 and having acne is a cruel, cruel joke.

I just read your twitter….I’ll trade you- your small boobs for my huge boobs….deal?

Retinol. Topical application of retinol.

This should be in blinking neon letters, but I’m not that technically sophisticated. Get a good retinol cream - Neutrogena makes several that are amazing and inexpensive. It’s the only thing that kept my face from looking like a dried apple after 7+ months of post-baby sleep deprivation.

Ok this is a PSA and I’m not going to bombard you but, try Arbonne. As in, I will gladly send you a sample of the anti-aging line that I use daily and nightly. At any rate, free is good right? And samples are fun! So, email me if you’d like (and I will NOT be offended if you don’t wanna:))

End of PSA

As soon as you come to Minneapolis (or anywhere nearby, since I don’t actually live in Minneapolis anymore, but in a southern-Minnesota college town nearby), I will come to your reading, book in hand, pink lip gloss on, thrilled to death. I love SIFTW so much I have successfully stretched my reading of it out for nearly two months just by refusing to read more than, like, two essays a week. I can’t bear to finish it.

[…] weekend calls for a mini-holiday. Specifically to this . So if you live in the Oklahoma City area you should come to purchase Sleep is for the Weak and to […]

Hi, just in the middle of reading your book and I am LOVING it.I don’t want it to end. Well done you.
