Picture Day

Those of you who know me, know that I don't wear make-up everyday.  I like make-up, I love to buy new make-up, and I have a lot of it.  But when it comes down to it, I get tired of putting it on and taking it off every day.  I'm really low maintenance at heart.  (At least when it comes to make-up and hair!) 

Today was picture day at school so I did the unusual and put on make-up because, in addition to being low maintenance, I am also vain!  Especially when it comes to having my picture in a yearbook that will be around for years and years.  And I knew what to expect from my colleagues and students.  "You look so pretty!"  As if they are shocked that I can sometimes look okay.  I know people mean well when they say that, but what I hear in my head right after that is, "You look crappy-to-mediocre every other day."  Oh well, I just accept the compliment for what it is.  And know that the following day I will not wear make-up and not get any compliments.

At least they don't tell me, "You look tired."  To me, that may be the only thing worse than "You look so pretty." 

A hui hou!

  1. Me, too!~ getting up at 5:45 am and walking to school (where my makeup would sweat right off my face) is not an option. That said, I ALWAYS wear at least a little when I'm going out~ I also don't do any more than put my hair up in a clip for weekdays, lol! ;)

  2. I HATE it when people tell you that you look tired! Drives me nuts!

    However, you are pretty every day!
