DISQUS

Suburban Turmoil: Two for One

  • Orlando Mom · 5 months ago
    I've had the same experience with a string of babysitters from a University near my home in Orlando. They are all peppy and cute and when I answer the door with a baby attached to a boob, I feel like apoligizing that the house is a mess.... The funniest girl (who we DIDN'T hire) came for a trial babysitting session and while she was in the pool with my five year old (in a killer bikini, with perfect abs and tush), I looked up her profile on myspace and facebook. Mistake #1 - don't put a close up picture of your cleavage as your profile picture and "more than a mouthful" as your tagline. My husband wanted to keep her around but I wasn't up for it.

    Lindsay,

    I never thought I would say this, but I think we are the same person!!

    First of all, I really, really, really need that binder.

    Second, the Sally Hansen Airbrush legs, bronzer (I ike the L'Oreal mineral one) and MAC Studio Fix (although I am presently taking a break from it) are all some of my favorite things. As for deodorant, I have always had major problems. I have never heard anyone else say their body gets used to deodorant (MINE DOES!!!!). I used to use a mens Right Guard, but a solid, because gels never do the job on me. My all time favorite is Certain Dri. Amazing. I have used it for years, but I have to rotate after awhile. Then I had luck with one of those crytal things, but not for too long. Then I found Dove Clinical Protection. (I have tried Secret Clinical and it didn't work.) I bought my second one several weeks ago and it is still working!! Now that is exciting! That's sad, isn't it?

    I have never tried Spanx, but I did get Assets at Target (made by the same company) and they work good. I have never tried the fake lashes. I will get some. Tomorrow. You inspired me.

    I usually buy daytime lashes that are all one but i cut the first third off, they look great that way too. I am tan , so i don't use blush or bronzer, and i am lazy so i don't use foundation or lipstick...yes, i am very scary looking!

    Yes, yes, we have those sitters here. How I wish I could be young again. I wonder what the new me would look like to the young me.

    Love your blog!!

    We're thrilled with the young lady helping us out this summer. She's actually at Vandy on scholarship. Working two jobs along with going to school. Not all the Vandy students are loaded (although they are among the wealthiest student bodies in the country). While she's not available to help us in the fall, we're interviewing additional candidates due to our happiness with her.

    I'd say when rich kids work it's just for something to put on their resume.
