The start of something new!

Hi everyone reading!

Now that I have more free time (thanks, unexpected back injury!!), I thought I should start blogging again.

I used to blog pretty frequently on LJ, but once I started working full time, I decided to take a breather. That, and I had managed to attract some pretty unsavory people that I needed to try to lose, so to speak.

A couple of makeup gurus that I follow on Youtube have Blogger accounts, so I thought this must be a pretty good place to start out.

I am going to try to update every day, something, at least. I don't know that I'll always be able to do that, but I really feel like I need to spend some time writing. And I'd like to end every day with commenting on something I am thankful for. I have been through a lot of negative experiences recently, so I am trying to be optimistic.

The "about me":
I'm 30
Live in St. Louis, MO (hence the blog name)
I have a son who is ten
I love makeup (way too much lately)


So on with the show, then!!

Sunday is Mother's Day. I don't have anything special planned yet. I told Matt that I wanted him to make me dinner. Steak and potatoes, please! And now that he knows how to make cheesecake like an actual pro, I am hoping for that, too.

Tyler stopped by late this afternoon with a potted plant. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen! It's little potted Marigolds like you buy outside the grocery store. I am going to have to make an honest effort to NOT kill them. I have a bad habit of killing plants.

Today, I am thankful for Pizza Hut. Lame, I know. But we ordered tonight and it was SO yummy. I should revise and say I am thankful for the financial ability to order and enjoy Pizza Hut tonight. That's what I am really thankful for.

Let me know what, if anything, you have planned for Mother's Day, and what you might be thankful for today!
