Endangering lives one mile at a time.

Those of you who have been lucky enough to see me first thing in the morning, during allergy season, know that I can’t see you. My eyes get so puffy that it looks like I’ve been beaten by a Chinaman. And then got turned into a Chinaman. It takes a good half-hour for the swelling and irritation to go down enough for me to put my contacts in without crying.

Anyway, I woke up late this morning and had ten minutes to get Kaiya and myself ready. I had to take her to Grandma’s house in Spanish Fork and be to work by 7:30. I forewent my shower, hurried and got dressed, threw my glasses on, woke my daughter up, and figured I’d do my makeup in the car. Clearly, I didn’t think that one through. How do you put on makeup while wearing glasses?

I ended up applying makeup in a moving vehicle without the benefit of clear vision. (At least I dropped off my baby first.) I realized my stupidity mid-foundation and put my glasses back on. Good thing I didn’t hit any of those blurry areas with lights in front of me.

p.s. I just reminded myself of the time that Buster Bluth accidentally flirted with a “brownish area with points” when he wasn’t wearing his glasses. Hehe.

So much to laugh at here: you with allergies, make-up in the car (I STILL do it too), Buster and Lucille Two, no shower (at least it wasn't Monday since you decided to no shower at my house on Sunday), and finally, the bigot comments about Chinamen. HA!

OH, MY GOSH!!! Aside from the hilarity of this visual in my mind, this is just one more reason why I don't enter the streets of society before 8am.

And speaking of Buster Bluth, are you SURE you didn't just wind up in "Mexico" while winding the streets of L.A. with that blurred vision?

It helps if you don't hit snooze about 10 times before you have to leave? No pitty for self imposed tardiness. p.s. Thanks for telling everyone it is allergies and not that I beat you.
I love it, that is me every day of my life!!!!! I love reading you blog it makes me Happy!!

I love how it didn't make sense to you to make-up on while wearing glasses but thought that driving and applying did. hehe I like the name of your post too!

at least you recognize your actions...
I swore I would stop doing make up in the car once James was born.
that was nearly 6 years ago.
I don't think I even HAVE make up in my bathroom -the little I do own is in the glovebox...

The snooze button was made to be tapped. The function of the alarm is to tell you that eventually you have to get out of bed. And the in-between state of sleep is to help you plan what you will wear once you do arise. Agreed?
