Tired. Sore. Bruised. Happy. Daiquiri. Yummy.
I’m not sure how long this post will be. I’m really wiped out, but I’ve had a great day.
I felt really sick this morning so I let myself sleep in until noon. I tried waking up at the semi-respectable hour of 9, but it just wasn’t going to happen. I was way too dizzy and icky, so I fell back asleep. When I tried to get out of bed at noon my eyes wouldn’t take it, so I just laid down and watched a Fred Astaire movie on my laptop and answered a few emails. They’re still hideously piled up, though. 41 in one week, it’s just not nice. 🙂
I solved my lipstick dilemma! Around 4:30 my Dad and I went out to Target and I went searching for a slightly more expensive brand of lipstick in the hope that it wouldn’t smear off on everything and refuse reapplication. (Note to girls: never buy Cover Girl lipstick. Ickies.) But you know what’s disgusting? Even the more expensive brands there weren’t sealed! I was looking at Revlon – $9.00 lipstick, gag me with a spoon! – and found a color I rather liked, but realized it was open and smudged all over the place. Someone had used it then put it back! That’s foul!! The mouth is a really germ-filled area and lots of diseases and viruses can be transmitted through shared lipstick. And it’s open! Strangers use it! Who knows what’s lurking on that stick of Lip Finity, or Liquid Diamonds. Eeeeugh.
Thankfully Sonia Kashuk was there to solve my problems. Not her personally, of course, but her wonderful line of cosmetics (if ‘wonderful’ and ‘cosmetics’ can even be used in the same statement…) AND they were having a sale on all-in-one compacts. It’s this cute little silver case with concealer, powder, blush, three eyeshadows, three lipsticks, and two applicator brushes. It’s stylish, functional, and all around fantabulous for only $15. And, even more importantly, it’s good make-up. The lipstick stayed on pretty much all night, and the eye shadows didn’t crease too badly. All’s well that ends well, right?
The performance went really well. I spent a lot of the time talking to Paul again, which was loads of fun. It’s nice to actually sit down and have a real conversation about a breadth of topics with an adult. It’s great in emails, fun in IMs, but it’s just not the same as a real, in-person conversation. There’s so much more to it. After the performance a lot of us went out to a restaurant/bar for a little cast party so I tagged along with Paul and his wife. I spent the evening sipping on a delightful virgin strawberry daiquiri, eating delicious cornbread, and talking to Paul about school, jobs, religion, lawyers, PotterWar, and dating. It was a great evening. I was there until 12:30 when my Dad had to drag me away from the table. Now I just wish I could have gotten into their next production – “A Christmas Carol” – but it’s quite likely that I’ll have conflicting appointments in October and I’d miss too many rehearsals. I’ll miss the company and the conversations in the mean time.
But, unfortunately, I now know I should have worn better shoes. When I peeled off my “non-commital goth wannabe” boots I found a dark red, blue, and black bruise on my ankle. It’s awful looking and it hurts like heck. I didn’t even really feel it while wearing the shoes, but I did feel the vinyl bending in whenever I moved my foot. It didn’t hurt at the time, but I’m paying for it now. Podiatric Judas, why has thou forsaken me?!
Sorry. It’s late. I’m tired. 🙂
