Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Ode to Lip Gloss


I woke up this morning..wait did I even sleep?
So SO tired.
Red. Puffy eyes.
Rats nest where my hair used to be..
Felt like crap.... from the new zit emerging on my shiny little chin, to my unshaven ankle bone.

How can I possibly go out and greet the world?

To every woman's secret weapon..the bathroom vanity.

Visine-red eyes be gone.
Eyelash curler-thank you for the fake awake.
Cover-up-bye BYE zit. (bless the makers of quality cover-up)
Bronzer-fake glow wipe out that pastey shine.
Gloss-lips from dull to soft and kissable.
CHI flat iron-ahh a miracle worker...bye bye rats nest.
Push Up Bra- now I know Victoria's Secret.
Venus Razor-smooth and sexy for one more day.
Black skirt and top-elongate and minimize baby.
High Heel-bless you, those three inches are stretching these gams.

I swear to you I look like a different woman then the one that greeted me in the mirror this morning.
Without the magic vanity chock full of drops, sprays, powders and tools the world would be a much scarier place.....for you!
Bless you magic vanity.

I put away the make up for the summer. I look a little scary. Just enjoying not putting on the face everyday and washing it off.

Whatever it takes; the beautification process is simply the price we must pay for the privilige of being female. Much better than the alternative...

Ah, I knew there was an upside to being a woman - I'd forgotten, being buried under all those chores!

Schmoochiepoo said...

I've gotten over my vanity and prefer to spend that extra 20 mins sleeping in. :)

I don't care most days as I just end up sweating it all off by noon anyways.

I guess I've lost my will to live??

WhisperingWriter said...

Note to self: buy a bathroom vanity.

Annette Piper said...

Ooh yeah, three cheers for the changes the bathroom can bestow!

Paging Doctor Mommy said...

I too love my magic vanity and the wonders it can create. I just wish it didn't take so dang long to do so!
