winning streak

today i won two things. a game of carcasonne with kenji and jeffy and a gift basket at the clinique party. did i mention i'm back? :o)

kenji and jeffy are really good at games... and honestly, i haven't won at carcasonne online yet. one time i came close. but then this stranger that we let join our game beat us. that's when we made the rule: no strangers. i say it's because i hate them. jeffy says it's because they're not that fun to play with. jeffy's hardcore at catan and carcasonne. but i like it, despite rarely winning. i feel like i really have to try hard, which means i will be able to crush others, and on occasion, the master. it improves my game, and makes winning sweeter.

at the clinique counter there was a huge basket that was the grand prize, and some small flower pots for the other prizes. i won one with perfume, eyeliner (the one i almost bought with yvonne at holts), some age cream thing...that now that i think about it, i probably already have a sample of, and a double sided brush (the most exciting part, because those are soooo expensive, and i didn't have that one). but you also got a gift bag that had mascara, a puffy thing, a bag, ummm... some perfume, lipgloss, and maybe some other stuff. and then with a purchase you get to pick some sample stuff to take too. very exciting.

there were three stations to travel to over the evening, the eye and lips section, a bronzer/blush section and a skin care consulation section. totally fun! honestly.

oh, and they DID have strawberry stuff there. some tart thing, and of course chocolate dipped strawberries! the strawberries were perfectly ripe, so they were über delicious. and when we got there, they had some sandwiches out, and i remembered what ang told me about how when they pass the sandwiches out at her board meetings, she takes a bunch of the veggie ones as soon as they get to her, because otherwise she will only be left with meat ones. so i ate two egg ones really quickly. and the rest were gone when i went back... only meat ones were left. good call ang.
