I can't get by without my....

What things, big or small, help you get through your day, give you that extra bit of joy, or are just damn indispensable to you?

Coffee. In the morning, I need it. Just one will get me through the day. Sometimes a second is good though (and a third and a...)

Music. I love to sing. I also love to listen to music, live or recorded.

Concealer. At the moment I use Revlon Luminous Touch. It’s fantastic under my eyes, and down the side of my nose. Good stuff.

Lip balm. Kiehl’s #1 is my fave, but I use a million others too. All my jackets and bags have at least one lip balm (tinted or not) in them. I feel naked without it.

Fragrance. It just makes me feel nice. Again, I have a lot and change them pretty much every day, depending on how I’m feeling.

Nice underwear. It just makes you feel good.

Water. I drink a lot of it now. I keep a bottle by my desk and by my bed and now it’s just a habit.

The internet. Not sure I could live without it now.

I’m sure I’ll think of more later...

Definitely the internet...specifically The LoT, www.puzzle.jp/index-e.html , Dave Berry's Weblog, MSNBC, and various comic strip websites. I would go insane.

Radio. Kevin and Bean in the morning, various lunch shows (usually STAR's 80s, but sometimes Jonsie's Jukebox), and KCRW for the ride home. That's assuming I haven't rotated the CDs in my car in a while. A CD often substitutes for all of those.

That's really it in terms of every day needs. My cup or 2 of earl gray used to be on the list, but I put an end to that the day I got a headache and nauseated because I didn't have my cup. Now it's about once a week that I have one.

MickeyD · 02-07-2005, 02:05 PM

Coffee, coffee, coffee. Starbucks in particular.

My iPod....I can't believe how much I love it! I listen to it at work, in my car, before I go to sleep....I love it.

TiVo....how did I ever manange to watch TV without rewinding it before? This weekend at my parents, I kept reaching for their remote....before remembering it's pathetic & useless & doesn't rewind.

Red, red wine, you make me feel so fine... I used to hate wine. Now I look forward to that relaxing bottle, errr, glass at the end of the day. (Kidding about the bottle, I swear!)

I'm sure I'll read everyone else's and go, ohhh, that too!

Claire · 02-07-2005, 02:10 PM

Trader Joe's.....from bread to meat to veggies to tortillas to snacks to drinks. Everything comes from TJ's in our house. I can't imagine not having one!

Starbucks.......gotta have my soy latte everyday. I had one at Nordstrom today and it didn't really do it for me. Will have to head to Starbucks before I get the girls from school today.

Stash tea........specifically black chai spice. I have at least one cup a day, if not many many more.....especially if I don't get to Starbucks early in the day.

Lip gloss.....I have some Cargo duos, Smashbox kits, and another Rocket City one that I can't do without. They are spread all over the house. I also have emergency stashes of Urban Decay, Sephora brand, and a Lip Venom in my car, coat pockets, and in purses. I am never far from a lip gloss.

Foundation.....I, too, am a slave to my foundation.

Ugh. It's such a vicious cycle! But now that I have the I.D. bare mineral stuff, my skin is breathing and looks a lot healthier.

Scarves......one of my friends at the Super Bowl party yesterday remarked that she's never seen me with the same scarf twice. I love scarves!! I always have one on, from October to February. I'm a little sad that I'm exiting scarf season.

KMS hair gloss ........my hair is crazy without it.....can't remember the name right now.

dsnylndmom · 02-07-2005, 02:45 PM

Water gallons of it, all the time!!

Internet So cannot live without it

wendybeth · 02-07-2005, 02:52 PM

My Girl, even though she's being a stinker right now.
Coffee, and lots of it.
The Internet
Our animals, even though they are stinky, too.
Eric, although he could help out more with the stinky animals and stuff.
Books

I'll come up with more as soon as The Girl stops hassling me to go shopping.....

Scrooge McSam · 02-07-2005, 04:23 PM

Tivo - Although I have been checking out XP Media Center Edition. Pair that up with a nice plasma and I'd be in there.

My kitchen - Scrooge loves go all Emeril in there and bang some pots and pans.

Financial Security - I'm a mess when things aren't going good.

Baileykat · 02-07-2005, 04:54 PM

Obviously the Internet....ours went out a few weeks ago...I was without for 2 days! Ack!!! Almost killed me!

Cell phone...when did I become such a slave to it! I'm immediately at a loss when I leave it at home..it's like leaving home without an appendage!

Coffee....my world revolves around coffee! Can't function without it..I'm cranky, moody, likely to cry, tired, listless but too much makes me hyper and jittery and nauseaus! Sad isn't it...it's basically a drug..disguised as food...caffeine is the devil! If I had said, "I can't live with out my daily shot of cocaine..would that be ok?" ...so goes the dilemma! But dang it...it's goooouuuuddd!

Lotion...I can not stand to not be near lotion...have lotion everywhere! A tube by the computer, at the kitchen sink, by the couch, by my bed, in my bathroom, the kids bathroom, my purse, my car! Everywhere...must have lotion. Dry skin is the sign of the devil! ICK!

Carmex...I'm not much into lip gloss and lip sticks...but I can't stand to not have Carmex...tubes and pots can be found in various places...see list above for locations!

Flip Flops...silly I know..but if you took away my flip flop collection, I would hurt you!!!! Now that I live in Tucson, I can wear them year round! Whoo hoo!

And cause I want to appear to be a good Mommie...I couldn't get by without my babies! Love them...love to kiss them...hold them...annoy them! They are mine! And nothing makes me happier than smoochies from them!

Ghoulish Delight · 02-07-2005, 04:57 PM

Oh man, how could I forget the blessed ReplayTV. The most freeing item I own.

Oh geez, put me down for that one too. I left work today and left my phone sitting on my desk. I got about a block away before I realized it.
