Had an appointment yesterday with a contractor to discuss putting a porch on the front of the house and do some landscaping. We had an appointment for 4 o'clock..so I went out for awhile.
Went to Macy's to pick up new makeup and of course they didn't have my usual shade so the girl is telling me I should try a different shade. I told her I was happy with the shade I had...we get into a discussion and she whips out this little computer that is going to match my skin to a shade...like matching paint to a fabric swatch. She wipes off a place on my face and then proceeds to put this "thing" on my skin and then shows me a little screen with numbers. She says "see its saying 04 and 05...the shades I recommended, I've been doing this for 15 years and I know what I'm doing. I said "I've had this face for 60 years and been putting makeup on it for the better part of 40 years. so if its years that count I've got you there. Bought a shade very close to what I usually use on the condition I could bring it back if I didn't like it. Somehow makeup looks different once you get out of the light in the store.
Now getting back to the contractor..after leaving Macy's, I went over to DD for coffee and my DH calls me at 2:30 and says the contractor is here. I said he was suppose to come at 4:00..well he was in the area. I said tell him to come back at 4:00 and he said he would. I left my daughters and came was home before 4, needless to say he never came back. My DH wanted me to call him and I said no..if this is how he works, I don't want to use him its better to find out now. I always tell contractors..I understand things happen sometimes but just call me. They all have cell phones and there's no excuse as far as I'm concerned to not show up and not call.
Well I'm off to Yankee Candle today and tonight DGS is coming to sleep over, his Mom has a class..
Wishing everyone a good day. - Val
