Coloring Outside the Lines

I don't wear much makeup which is a good thing since I'm usually applying it in semi-darkness, only one coffee into my day.

I wear a powder foundation and a bronzer. Today, I reversed the two and applied the bronzer to my entire face. I didn't even notice until I got out the foundation powder. Cheese and rice!

I applied the foundation over the bronzer everywhere except my cheeks, poured another cup of coffee, and hoped that if anyone noticed they thought I was either blushing or got an exceptional sunburn in Hawaii.

No one noticed. Then again, I generally work in solitude so it mostly didn't matter anyway.

When I got home, I poured a cup of cheer and set up the tree which was an anxious five minute endeavor. Some of the Lite-Brite plastic pieces had fallen out of the 18-inch ceramic tree and the light bulb in the center was all wobbly. I balanced the light bulb by pulling the electric cord taut and swiveled the tree so any open holes were in the back.

I set it on a side table, plugged it in, and as I gazed upon it my heart grew two sizes.

Okay, maybe not, but it's nice. Kind of makes my face glow, you know?

  1. I love those ceramic trees. I think I am going to have to go on the hunt for one.

    I sympathize with your makeup plight, as well. I've got wretched vision - can't see anything useful without my speccies, so my attempts at war-paint almost invariably go horribly, terribly wrong.
