You guys remember the nail polish I got in my August Ipsy bag? The Formula X Dollface? I finally tried it the other day. And, well, I was again underwhelmed. The color is pretty but the formula stinks. We're talking draggy, patchy, and even WITH top coat it chipped in less than three hours. Blaaah.

I also am still no good at liquid eyeliner, in case you were wondering.

Soccer is... it's going. Allyson says she likes it but she doesn't do much out there. We are starting to learn that maybe sports are not exactly her thing. This is hard for Ben to understand, because he played baseball up until his senior year of high school. This is not hard for me, because sports weren't exactly my thing either. Her team has played five games and they are 1-3-1; they finally won their first game last night. Tournament starts next weekend.

But we'll miss the first tournament game, though, as we're taking a small journey to see Ben's sister in Des Moines for the weekend. And, in a "what-are-we-thinking" twist, we're taking Franklin.

Allyson also really likes Bible quizzing. So, maybe that's her thing? We will also find out what her thing is in two years, when she gets to pick an instrument and do band.

Also they've cut my hours at work (which happens right before the holiday) and are giving most of them to the new girl (um, what?). So I'm a little salty.
