Anyhoodle....the point is...I've been a bit out of it lately what with all the busy-ness and lots of "to do" lists swirling around in my head for work, wedding and life....so one might say I've been a little scatterbrained lately...or at least I feel like it.
(Get to the point, Jess.)
Ahem...
My normal morning routine consists of some basic makeup application. Nuthin fancy....some Bare Minerals foundation to even out my complexion, some eye shadow and some mascara to darken my blonde eye lashes....occasionally I forgo the mascara if I'm feeling lazy and only wear foundation. Despite me thinking I look like I'm 12 years old without eye makeup on I get the occasional compliment that I look "refreshed" or "fresh faced". Well gee. Thanks! Awesome! This morning, however, I forgot and unintentionally skipped my light spattering of powdered foundation and just put on a little bit of mascara and eyeshadow. Fantastic. Left the house feeling normal.
This is going somewhere I swear....
I'd been at work for over an hour, having spoken to no one yet, when my producing partner walks in and starts telling me a story...so I turn to face her...at which point she stops mid sentence and, in horror, says "ohmygod! did you get a black eye??!?!?!?!!?"
I'm so put off by her reaction that I get all self conscious and head straight to the bathroom thinking that I must have applied my gray/blue eyeshadow like a 3 year old and it's all over my face. But I look in the mirror and see... just my regular old face. Then i realize that what had her gasping in horror is MY FACE!!! MY REGULAR OLD FACE!!! This is JUST HOW I LOOK!!!! I have my grandfather's dark undereye circles compounded with the fact that I didn't fall asleep til 3am this morning and forgot to put on makeup.
So the point of this post is...I'm sorry Chris. I'm sorry that people think you beat me when I forget to put on makeup. When I asked you this morning if you'd still love me even if I was horribly ugly I didn't realize that you had already proved it by waking up to this face every morning. Here's to the next 80 years...
sigh.

OMG. This is a kick-ass post. I think you are GORG, makeup or none - and we Lee's, with our grandpa's undereye circles? We stick together!
Don't be ridiculous, you know you ain't ugly. (Yeah i said ain't) You shoulda just punched that chick in the eye when you left the bathroom.
I have our grandfather's eye circles too. I am always getting asked if I have a black eye, or if I have been sleeping well because I look so tired. Gotta love that.
