My main goal in life is to be comfortable - ALL THE TIME. And this is why I don't get why people wear makeup (or why they wear nice clothes...I mean, put on shorts and a t-shirt and BAM! comfort AND fashion).
I can't wear makeup for two reasons, #1 I usually look like a clown by the time I'm finished (like a 5-year-old playing with her mother's lipstick, which I admit, I did do. Then again, I also ate my sister's Dr. Pepper flavored chapstick when I was five, so as we can see, five-year-olds are not so smart) and #2 I touch my face ALL DAY LONG and end up with makeup on my hands and clothes (basically anywhere but where it is actually supposed to be).
And this is why it's so funny to me that one of the patients here (she also used to work as a nurse here a long time ago) comes to the office pedaling her Mary Kay makeup. All of the other ladies here wear makeup and I'm pretty sure that she does a steady business just out off this office. While I am all for pretty, shiny lip gloss and mascara, she often tries to sell me base and foundation (which I am pretty sure is the same thing, but I can't really be sure), powder, and eyeshadow (but not just any eyeshadow, BLUE EYESHADOW. Ok, I know that blue is supposed to be "back", but YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME).
And that is why I will always be just a little bit shabby. I've felt it a lot lately when I go to church in my flip flops, Eddie Bauer skirt, and t-shirt (but it's a fancy t-shirt - no writing on it AND a v-neck), no makeup, and no pretty hair. All of the other women wear high heels and nice dresses. Sometimes I think that they look like China dolls.
I wish I could do that, but you know, I think that it's impossible. I'm just not China doll material. I think I'm going to blame my mother.

I think blue eye shadow is HOT! Hehehe.
Have you seen the new Barbie Dolls?? They have blue eyeshadow on. They also happen to look like crack whores. Coincidence? I think not.
