They just patch the 3rd kidney in there.
I have had two kidney transplants. One in 1997 with my mother as the donor and one in 2008 where my fiancé was able to donate. To have someone do a thing like that for you, to save you from having to do daily (in my case) dialysis treatments, to improve your health and life expectancy to such an extent, is overwhelming. If there is anything I can do to give that to someone else, I will do it.

What kind of company changes their name without getting the twitter name first?
So, this isn’t really a beauty related post but I found the whole thing so funny I’m posting about it anyway. Today I got an email from the CEO of Netflix that was part apology and part LOLFEST.

The crazed masses at Albertson's
I am sure you have heard about it by now, but there was a big power outage yesterday affecting something like 5 million people.

When it didn’t, I checked the news on my phone to find out that the outage went from parts of Orange County all the way down to Mexico and into Arizona. Whoa.

Please don't break. Please don't break. Please don't break...
I’m packing up the perfumes. Back into their original boxes they go with lots of hoping and praying that there isn’t an accident. I’m moving into a new (new to me, built in 1959) house this week. I am really excited but, damn, I hate packing.

Which frame was $270 and which one was free?
I’m nearly blind. Okay, so not quite. But my eyesight is pretty bad. I’ve worn glasses since the 2nd grade when my teacher noticed I was holding my book directly up to my nose. But I like wearing glasses. I just hate paying so much money for them.
