My First RAOK, and me stuff.

Last week I received my first RAOK (random act of kindness) from Elizabeth.  I actually felt a little silly because she emailed me asking for my mailing address and I didn't really understand why.  She eventually said is was for a "RAOK".... and I was all... "WTF is a RAOK?".  I didn't really figure it out until a package arrived.  DUH!  And I was shunned to see that every bottle was on my lemming list.  *swoon*

The spread!

Chameleon - Blue Sky, and Calypso, China Glaze - Metallic Muse, and For Audrey

 Color Club - High Society, and Ms. Socialite, Del Sol - Ruby Slippers  (look!!  It's changing colour!  when I wore it the sun never came out and not that I'm taking a bottle pic it's changing!)

Elizabeth - Thank you so very much for sending these polishes.  It made me feel so warm and fuzzy I almost cried.  @.@  BTW your new blog lay out looks awesome.  Toxin did a very good job.

Me news.

Bleh.  So I've probably mentioned that I haven't been feeling so hot lately.  For the past couple of weeks I've had a very sore throat- but only when I spoke too much.  I'm a receptionist so it's sort of my job to talk.  And my desk is all alone away from other workers so I get lonely and talk people's faces off when they come to use the copier.

I went to the doctor today and she discovered that my thyroid glands are swollen and I'd have to go for blood work today when I get off work.  Joy.  Surprisingly I'm not upset by having a tiny needle put in my arm and my life fluids drained from me.  No.  I'm irritated that I am a public transit person and I'm going to have to take the bus out of the way to the blood-draining clinic and get home late.  HA!

Giveaway news!

Chameleon - Calypso

Hey!  This was part of my first ever RAOK (random act of kindness) from the lovely Elizabeth, Lacquered Lizard.  I'll post the rest of her ROAK later.  

I've been lemming this one a while.

Natural Light

Can you see the colour change?

It's so difficult to capture it on camera.  I wish I could pull the images out of my eyeballs.
Look!  It matches my book.  I'm addicted to Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels!
Mmmmm True Blood!

And you might have noticed that these photos were taken of my right hand, I'll explain.
This duochrome acts like a foil or metallic polish.... IT SHOWS EVERY TINY IMPERFECTION! I used two coats of ridge filler and I thought I was safe, but I wasn't.  So since my right hand had the least noticable imperfections I used it.  Don't get used to it.  ;)
