Well, we made it to the Mall of America, and I had tons of fun at my first visit to Lush.
When I found out that Lush was coming to the MAO I told my husband that I wanted him to take me there for my birthday present 
So I got a little early birthday present, but that’s ok.
I’ll tell you more about that later.
Right now we have to go get ready for the furnace inspector to come.
He would have been here already, but the company called the former owner of the house, instead of calling the people who actually live here and made the appointment.
And instead of saying “No i don’t own the house anymore, I don’t know why you’re calling me,” the former owner requested that the person who always did her inspections come out.
So the company called us - the people who actually own the house, and made the apointment - and told us that the former owner requested a certain person and he isn’t able to come out until tomorrow, so do we want to reschedule.
No not really.
What is wrong with people?
Are we really going to have to start telling people that they are only allowed to talk to us about the house before we do business with them?
Well, this is being continued a little bit sooner than I thought.
Apparently if you buy a house, and call Laney’s, and they’ve previously been to the house, you have to prove that you own the house.
I guess I better go whip out the mortgage to prove it to them.
Is it just me, or does that sound crazy?
I’ve never had to prove I owned a house before when I wanted a service.
I can see if you wanted to do a major renevation, or knock the house down or something.
But not just to check the furnace to make sure it’s working.

I ran across these Pop-Up Makeup Brushes at bookofjoe this morning.
I think it would be really nice to have nine brushes and a mirror in one place, in a container that wouldn’t get dirty or dingy even if I carried it around in my purse every day.
According to Solutions:
This brush set was created according to the strict guidelines of actress Catherine Hickalnd of One Life to Live, Loving, The City, Knight Rider and other television series and movies. They re-create all of her favorite brushes used on TV and movie sets.
Unfortunately, the web site doesn’t list the type of brushes - just that there are nine brushes in the set.
It’s obvious that a makeup junkie wasn’t involved in writing the description of the set, or they would have listed the types of brushes as well.
What do you think? Would you use Pop-Up makeup brushes?

It’s the first snow of the season!
The flakes are so small you can hardly see them.
How’s your weather?

The bushynose pleco fry are doing great - and Monday we noticed more eggs in the taco.
Rumor has it that they only breed during the fall,and I’m hoping that’s the case, or we’ll be swimming in tons of pleco babies soon.
There were just over three weeks between the first eggs, and the second eggs, so we’ll see what happens next.
As of now Spike still lets the fry in the taco with him and the eggs, but I’m wondering if that will change when the eggs hatch.

In case you’ve noticed we’ve got a new look, on the blog, and at Mystical Beauty.
I still don’t have the logo up across Mystical Beauty, because it took me way to long to find a theme for the blog, and edit it.
I hope you like the new logos!
