The Thursday That Was a Monday

As I write this today, I'm sitting at my desk with my spit-dampened row of bangs wrapped around a pencil to keep the unkempt flyaway look at bay.

It's our board meeting day and the directors and their spouses are here.

Of COURSE, my bangs are going to stick straight out. They never do this!!!

My red suit was laid out carefully on the bed.

Of COURSE, today is the day that that white-haired Westie of ours decides to nest on it while she watches me get ready for work.

No worries. One of our vice presidents pulled out a length of transparent tape and wiped me down to remove the dog's locks off my top.

Of COURSE, it was one of the vice presidents who noticed it before my assistant did.

I was late leaving for work this morning because I couldn't find my black tights that I needed to help pull together my snazzy look today with my new black boots.

Of COURSE, I couldn't find my black tights. My husband had thought they were socks and put them somewhere where I would be certain I could find them ... and didn't remember where that was.

OF COURSE, he didn't. ... and the distraction made me forget my makeup.

But wait! I have an emergency stash of makeup in my desk. Improvise, improvise, improvise, as I use my eye shadow selection to take care of my eyebrows, my eyelids, my arch under the brows ... And the pink shimmery shadow that I never use, I had to use for a blusher. So far so good, right?

Of COURSE, I couldn't find my eyeliner. Did you know that when you use a brown Sharpie permanent marker on your eyelids, that it only stings a little, and adds a peculiarly aromatic smell to blend with your perfume ... AND it will even work over the eyeshadow. Who knew.

I would try the red Sharpie as a lip liner, but it clashes with my lipstick.

And I'm afraid it would appear that I had had Botox injections. Did I mention that I have to take photos today and appear in some as well?

Time to put something stronger-holding than spit on my bangs before I'm tempted to shave my head.

At least my eyes will look good. Grin.

Hope you have a better-than-good day!
