Let This Be The Last
December 29, 2006

So I had a breakfast meeting, and when I got out of said meeting I had a phone message from DaMomma. It seems that Miss Mary had a little private "unbeknownst to Momma" practice session with some "C-U-R-L-E-R-S" this morning, but apparently only made the "front half of her head look like she put her finger in a light socket." And they were off for a very important day.

I hate to admit this but when she spelled out curlers, I had to pause and say each letter out loud. So many of my friends are parents and in the spelling stage. And I gotta tell you - it throws me for a loop.

Anyway - the reason I share this is because I had a little incident with a pair of T-w-e-e-z-e-r-s the other day. While getting ready for a Trick I plucked a few wayward eyebrow hairs - no need to trick with a Uni Brow - and The Husband came into the bathroom all quiet and sneaky and scared me. Which then made me turn suddenly and jerk my hand, which then caused me to scraps the tip of the t-w-e-e-z-e-r-s across my upper lip.

Big huge red line - painful, too.

I tried to cover it with make-up, but it was so bold that it kept showing through. So every time I turned around someone was saying, "Hey - you've got a huge smudge of lipstick under your nose..."

"Did you just have red wine? You've got a huge red mark across your upper lip..."

"Before you take those platters out take the time to wipe the smurdge of lipstick off your face..."


So Mary, sweetie, I feel your pain. But I bet your Finger in a Light Socket Hair looked fabulous.

And if it makes you feel any better, yesterday I fell while coming out of the grocery store. I just took a header right by the cart return. Boots over Bonnet - right there for all the world to see.


Here's to hoping this is the last of our blunders in '06.

Hey FW.....I know how you feel...I have a bad habit of stubbing my big toe on the coffee table. CONSTANTLY. I swear, it's like I have wings on my feet.

Anyways...Happy New Year!

FW - you make me laugh so hard. You have a thing about falling in front of the grocery store. I remember when you took a header into the pumpkins prior to Halloween.

I caught a softball in the mouth many years ago and the laces on the ball made a darling little impression/scab on my upper lip. It was a huge source of entertainment for many people.
