have one of those days when you finally get your poop in a group, loose a bit of weight, get back into some clothes that make you think you look hot, get a new hair cut, get a make over, only to wake up with 3...no, 4 cold sores all on the day of a big meeting...
break a nail on the way to the office, down to the quick no less (and bleed on your new silk blouse) and spill coffee down your front....
or is this just me....
I never ever have to worry about becoming conceited, some wierd Kharma will always keep me humble.
{{{{HUGS}}}} Mamma always said there would be days like these!
Of course we all have days like these! When ever you look your best, or at least trying to look your best, some force sneaks up from behind and makes you look like total yuck! At least we are trying, one of these days we can outsneak it! ~flower
I experience this phenomona where I start out the day looking great! Hair is perfect, make up is flawless, clothes are sexy with just the right pair of shoes and purse, and I'm feeling and looking thin. And then lo and behold... three hours into the day or the shopping trip or the night out... I take a look in the mirror and I suddenly look like this crazy, fat, disheveled person with bad hair and skin and clothes that don't fit properly. What is up with that? How can I go from hot to not in a matter of hours?? I just don't understand it. Anyone have an explanation for this?
It never fails that I spill some sort of oil (cooking oil, butter, etc) on anything new that is red (my favorite color to wear). Then spend at least 4 months trying to get it out because I accidently threw it in the dryer.
Every time we have tomato something, I drip on my white silk clad boobs! It even happens when I am wearing a tatty white t-shirt. White and tomato attract each other.
I know what it is, Sojo. The same thing happens to me. I've figured it out... we stand straight and stiff in front of the mirror. Everything looks perfect, our stomach is sucked in, the hair and face are in place, the clothes are positioned correctly. But as soon as we start to MOVE, we're screwed!!
Ellis, you are probably right! Plus I probably get a little sweaty and my hair starts to go limp and my makeup starts to rub off and my feet start to hurt from my too high shoes. Oh well... I try my best.
I get raccoon eyes whenever I put on mascara (waterproof, any kind - doesn't matter!) within about 30 seconds. And whenever I think my hair is looking really good...by the time it matters, photo op or whatever - forget about it! I just saw a pic taken at Christmas when I was working so hard to look perfect...and my hair looks like Brillo pads, my clothes look awful and I have the silliest smile on my face (and seemingly NO makeup, though I swear I did a full makeup thing not an hour before the photo!).
Sojourner and Flower---that happens to me too. I can stand in front of my mirror at home and think that I look so fine and then I'll catch my reflection somewhere out in public and think that I look like ****! What is up with that? Is it some weird body image thing? Do I have a 'skinny' mirror at home? Very mysterious.....and so demoralizing!
did~ja ever...
Yup...

Ohhhh...
Oh well... I try my best.
You chicks are a riot!
