that’s all i’m going for here.\u00a0 haiti haiti haiti, then that guy wins in massachusetts…why doesn’t the media ever have big stories about how people have been trying to get health care passed since about 1912?\u00a0 literally?<\/p>\n
so, something to get away from all that, plus of coure the DEADLY FREEZING FOG…<\/p>\n
first of all, i’m lazy.\u00a0 LAZY.\u00a0 i know people who wouldn’t go out of the house without full makeup and a cute little outfit.<\/p>\n
i used to walk around Los Angeles IN MY SWEATS.\u00a0 i’d walk down to the Whole Foods where people like patricia arquette would also be shopping.\u00a0 i just didn’t care.\u00a0 she didn’t look so great either, come to think about it.<\/p>\n
so i care even less about how i look on a day-to-day basis here in splfd.\u00a0 the bar for beauty is way, way lower here.\u00a0 way lower.<\/p>\n
and plus, there’s that whole thing about how i just don’t care.<\/p>\n
when i get ready for the day, the only makeup i usually put on is some eyeliner, although even that is very faint now because i’m running out and i keep forgetting to buy some more.\u00a0 and i fill in my eyebrows, because if i didn’t they would be completely invisible.<\/p>\n
so, eyebrows.\u00a0 a tiny bit of eyeliner.\u00a0 that’s it.<\/p>\n
occasionally i’ll go a little crazy and put on some mascara and then i look SO MUCH BETTER – but since i don’t wear it much anymore, when i have it on it starts to feel like the mascara is weighting down my eyelashes.\u00a0 plus i have to take it off before going to bed and i hate to delay sleeping at all.<\/p>\n
on sunday night kevin and i went to dinner.\u00a0 it was a dinner for the 114th regiment, and he spent great portions of the day polishing the brass buttons on his coat, shining his boots, etc.\u00a0 so i figured the least i could do was to put on some makeup.\u00a0 eyebrows.\u00a0 eyeliner – thick, liquid eyeliner, looks really good, mascara, blush, lipstick.\u00a0 plus i spent more than five minutes fixing my hair, stuck a rose in it. perfume, fancy top, black pants that make me look at least five pounds thinner.<\/p>\n
all gussied up.<\/p>\n
we had a nice time – i sat next to a woman who had DRIVEN TO ALASKA with her husband, her son and his wife.<\/p>\n
YEAH, THEY DROVE.\u00a0 a total of something like 9,900 miles roundtrip.\u00a0 can you imagine?<\/p>\n
after dinner, though, they’d gotten a speaker.\u00a0 an adjunct professor who spoke about “civil war medicine.”\u00a0\u00a0 she was the WORST SPEAKER EVER.\u00a0 or at least the part i heard was the worst.\u00a0 she started every sentence with “now…uh…” these long gaps in what she said, on and on and ON, it quickly became unbearable so i excused myself and sat in a comfy chair outside the bathroom texting randy.<\/p>\n
i finally heard a smattering of applause and knew it was safe to go back in, so i did.<\/p>\n
a fine evening.<\/p>\n
went home, washed off all makeup, went to bed, got up, worked out vigorously as i do most mornings.\u00a0 kevin was at wayne’s helping finish up his basement and we talked a few times during the morning.\u00a0 he wanted me to join them for lunch at subway, which is the only place they ever go for lunch.\u00a0 i said i didn’t know if i could make it in time since i had to shower after working out.\u00a0 but i took a quick shower and decided that since i’d put on makeup the night before, i might as well do it again.\u00a0 no lipstick, but all the other stuff.<\/p>\n
i met them for lunch, good subway lunch, all was good.<\/p>\n
later in the day i asked kevin if he’d noticed that i wore makeup again.<\/p>\n
he said, “i noticed – but i thought it was leftover from last night.”<\/p>\n
LEFT OVER FROM LAST NIGHT.<\/p>\n
the more i thought about it, the funnier it was.\u00a0 for one thing, he was definitely awake before we went to bed that night; did he just not look at me at all to see i was wearing no makeup?\u00a0 and the next morning he kissed me before leaving for wayne’s; i was in my jammies, hair not combed, and still no makeup.\u00a0 he knew i went to work out, he knew i showered – and yet he thought that somehow the makeup from the night before had magically stayed on my face, through the sleeping and the working out and sweating and SHOWERING.<\/p>\n
funny fellow.<\/p>\n
not so observant, but funny.<\/p>\n
ok then ,<\/p>\n
