Wow, I'm so sorry about the MIA-ness. Being a new mom is kicking my butt with time management. There's so much to do in the day and so little time to do it especially with a newborn to take care of.
Anyways, I have a little time to myself at the moment, Mr. Man is watching the Lakers game with the baby so I'm going to work on some posts and schedule them so that way you guys aren't left with nothing to read.
First off, my digital camera has been sent out to be repaired. BOO! No pictures for now. I turned it in to Best Buy (thank goodness for extended warranties) a couple of days ago and I should get it back in 2-3 weeks, hopefully sooner because I'm missing out on taking pictures of baby Ethan!
So the next few posts will be either a) pictureless, b) from previous photos taken and still on my memory card or c) taken with my webcam and/or camera phone.
I also have a giveaway coming up soon (yup, again! you love me yet?)
Before I continue with more updates here's a picture of me and baby Ethan on the webcam when we were just chillin' and video chatting with Mr. Man while he was at work.

Look at those cheeks! I swear that's where all the weight is. LOL.
Two days ago was the NBA Draft Lottery and the Clippers got the #1 draft pick! WOOT! Finally something good happening for the Clippers. I must admit, I showed my Clippers spirit by wearing a Clippers top that day. And what do you know! They win the #1 pick! Ok, Ok, maybe my wearing the Clippers top may have not gotten them the #1 pick, but whatevers, here's to hoping they do something good and the Clippers will be worth watching this upcoming season. Clippers Draft party, anyone? Remember how hardcore I was when I went by myself last year? Original Post: Clippers Draft Party 2008 & FOTD

I always feel like a Clippers Spirit girl when I wear this top. Pretty soon, I'll have a Clippers Spirit body *dreaming*

Speaking of Clippers Spirit, Clippers Draft Party 2007.
Sooooo, how's motherhood J.Rose? Having a new baby around has it's perks and downsides. The perks obviously is the precious lil baby I get to stare at all day! The downsides is not getting enough sleep at night.
The first couple of weeks have been killing me. It seemed he was more alert in the middle of the night. I mean just look at this face...

This was the face I was staring at from 2AM - 4AM. I couldn't let him cry because Mr. Man has work very early in the morning (at 5AM) so I had to keep baby Ethan occupied so he wouldn't cry.
But finally as of this week, his schedule has changed where he's more alert during the afternoon/evening. He only wakes up to feed, burp and get his diaper changed then goes right back to sleep in the middle of the night. Let me *knock on wood*. LOL, I don't want to speak too soon.

Click on image above for more info on this year's IMATS: International Makeup Artists Trade Show in Pasadena, CA
For those of you going to IMATS this year, I will be attending on Saturday, June 20th. I can't wait to meet all of you. Is there going to be a blogger meet up spot at the show? Anyways, I am probably, if not, more than likely going to head on over with Christiana. I'll see you all there! Be sure to say hi to me =).
Tickets are now $15 if you haven't already gotten yours. I bought mine the last day they were $10. I also ended up paying extra to have the ticket mailed to me. It was a rip off, but I had to use Mr. Man's credit card to order it and I don't want to be screwed at will call if they won't let me take the ticket because the payment type was under someone else's name and Mr. Man will not be with me. He will be at home taking care of the baby whilst I peruse makeup aisles and chit chat with my lovely ladies.

How do you clean false eyelashes after putting glue and/or mascara on them?
I personally don't have a tutorial on cleaning them but here are a couple that I found very useful:
From Enkore Makeup: (video, youtube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIvwND0Sm90&feature=channel_page
From Yummiebitez: (pictures) http://yummiebitez.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-to-remove-and-clean-false-eyelashes.html
Speaking of false eyelashes, I am still willing to hook you up with Korean False Eyelash (Darkness, Shisem, Ipum) Original Post: Korean Brand False Eyelashes: Shop Now
And of course, don't forget to visit my Up For Grabs page to see if there is anything on there you would like to take off my hands! Original Post: Up For Grabs - For Sale
Will you try to get pregnant again to have a girl?
I am done! As much as I would love to have a daughter, 3 kids is enough for me! And of course knowing my luck, I'll probably have another boy anyways, lol. That's exactly what I said before having baby Ethan. So in order to make sure we don't get pregnant again, I will be getting permanent birth control. Still debating on who should do it, me or Mr. Man. As any man would, Mr. Man is a little scared of the procedure so we'll see.
Do you still have time for WoW?
Ok so for those of you who know, I'm a WoW addict. Just check out my page here: J.Rose on WoW. I actually haven't been playing much WoW since baby Ethan was born.
I've tried out Ulduar a few times and have gotten past 3 bosses so far: Flame Leviathan, XT-002 Deconstructor and Razorscale. I just can't sit here at my desk for hours on end like I used to because baby Ethan needs tending to at least every 1-2 hours. Since Mr. Man is the main tank in our guild, he'll play more than me. I'm just a measly DPS'er. LOL.
Although I do make time to do my dailies. I at least do the Oracles dailies. I wanted to get my Mysterious Egg in hopes to get the Reins of the Green Proto Drake. I'm just waiting for the Egg to hatch. I have about 20 more hours. I still do those dailies because I'm waiting to do one more quest to get the achievement "Savior of the Oracles". Also to add to my list of factions I'm exalted with. I have about 7 more days to get exalted with the Oracles.
I also try and do some Dun Niffelum quests and get a few ganks in, lol.
I also do Skybreaker/Ice Crown dailies when Mr. Man gets home because that's the bulk of the gold I get on a daily basis. After loaning 4000 gold to Mr. Man so he can buy his Nobles Deck, my gold reserves dipped below 1000 so of course doing my dailies is where the money is at! Now I'm slowly creeping back up to 5000 gold. I probably will spend some on going dual spec so that way I can go Affliction/Destruction, but then again I want to try out demonology so I can try out the spell Metamorphasis.
So if you understood all of that, props to you! If you didn't, don't worry about it, you're not a WoW nerd like I am.
Where did you meet Mr. Man?
We met online. He happened to come across my personal webpage, msjumpyone.com (before blogger or xanga was out). He emailed me, I emailed him back, we exchanged IMs, then phone numbers, 3 days later he visited me and 3 months later I moved to LA to be with him and here we are today! 9 years, 7 years of marriage and 3 kids later and we're still happy, well most of the time. HAHA!

(on a side note: it's funny because I started this entry when the Lakers game started and now it's ending. Got distracted by a crying baby, a sick son and a hungry husband, lol)
Who watched the American Idol finale last night? Were you upset that Adam didn't win? I personally didn't vote and didn't care who won. Both of them sing pretty good anyways and I'm sure they both will eventually get their career going. Anyways, I thought the best part of the finale was when Bikini Girl started singing and the judge Kara came out and outsang her and even showed off her bod in that bikini!
O-M-G, have you seen the Kobe/Lebron puppet Nike commercials?? They are hilarious! I love the Lebron chalk one. Here they are:
