Mother of Teen Angel/Devil/Regular Girl

I love the name. 

Getting tired of these late nights...I know I'm not alone. Other moms have told me that by the time their daughters left for college, they were ready to say goodbye to staying up nights worrying till they got home.

This post title reminds me of one of Figgy's teen birthday parties, when I made a lofty angel food cake and a rich devil's food cake, so the girls had a choice. I loved the contrast of the snowy and light against the dark and decadent.

Front door just opened. Figgy is home.

Good night.

1. Caught up on my sleep.
2. Drove in downpour to Neiman Marcus to get Aerin Beach Cream. Plan to use tomorrow morning. It gives a little glow to the skin. Also got Beach Beige lipstick* and gloss to go over it. I can really fail at taking care of my appearance. Have meeting @ 9:30 but setting alarm to build in time for beauty. I hope I carry through on this.
3. Again had my rice and beans that I made, with lots of sauteed yellow peppers.

*Postscript on Saturday at 2:05 P.M.: I got up early, took a bubble bath, then put on moisturizer, beach cream on arms, face, chest. On lips, Vaseline, then new Beach Beige lipstick and the Aerin lip gloss. Liked it. But when I came back about 12:15, I had reapplied the lipstick alone to my lips, while driving. "What's that on your mouth?" H. asked. "Omigod, that doesn't work on you!" Figgy said. It's true. You see, I love the mod 1960s nudes and frosty whites/tans but the truth is they look so much better on someone with dark cocoa skin. On me, the lipstick alone makes me look like a lifeguard with white sunblock on my lips. If I do the Vaseline step first, it should be fine....but that will be three steps....I just want to be that woman using Aerin Beach Beige. Sigh. You can't win em all.
