Awkward Moment

So tonight I headed out to Oakbrook Mall. After my experience in the Apple computer store, I stopped in a store that sells my make-up to see if I could find some new lip stuff. A guy walked up to me and asked if he could help. I tried to explain what I was looking for and before I really realized what was happening, he was cleaning off some lipstick had it on a brush and began painting my lips with color. As he (yes, it was a dude) was doing this, I was trying hard to keep a straight face. I wish I had a video camera. If make-up is a guys thing, I guess that is cool. I think it was just more the fact that it took me so off guard. He was so intentional with getting each part of the lip and then to make it more awkward, he used his finger to fix up an area that wasn't the way he liked it. It was really odd...

Sticks out like a sore thumb

I have gained more appreciation for the saying, "it sticks out like a sore thumb." Do you realize how much you use your thumb each day? Just for kicks, try to do the following without a thumb; tie your shoes, button or unbutton clothing, open a jar, type on the computer, dry your hair, curl your hair, open a prescription bottle, blow your nose... and the list goes on. It has been two weeks since I broke my thumb while playing in a co-rec softball game. I wish that I could tell you I made some great game saving play at the expense of thumb kin. Unfortunately, the truth is that a guy from the other team came sliding into second head first and grabbed my glove rather than the base. It was just one of those freak accidents that doesn't really make sense. I know people mean well but I am getting sick of the children's song, "Where is thumb kin," or the new nickname "thumbs." The one that kills me the most is the number of thumbs up signs I get. To make it worse, most of the time I don't even know the people. The best was the other day I was at a stoplight and a guy on a Harley next to me looked at me smiled, gave me the thumbs up sign and started laughing. Yeah... real funny. I wanted to roll down my window and give him a few words. Instead I smiled and laughed. Oh well, I guess more than anything it is another reminder on how amazing our bodies are. Each small little part plays such big roles.

Birthday girl!
