Today was one of those days when something came out of my mouth completely spontaneous and it was so shocking that it stopped me dead in my tracks and caused my brain to sputter to the extent that I have no idea what the response to my uncharacteristically bold statement was.
It all started innocently enough, I was in the pharmacy and still feeling quite good over yesterday's love fest with Chris and Christian from the office supply store so I began a lively chat with the cashier and the guy sporting a shoulder surgery sling in line behind me. (I really wanted to know if he was there picking up opioids) Eventually, I turned to leave, with a big smile on my face only to see that before I could make it to the exit there was a woman standing behind a card table set up with a table cloth and some gift bags. I looked to see what she was doing and she asked "Would you like a beauty bag?" To which I answered "Will it make me even prettier?"
Note: I had not showered, my greasy hair was pulled tightly back, with bumps, I had been driving with the window open, I was wearing sweatpants and I still had my hiking boots on from sweet pea's morning hike. Sexy.
There is a slight chance the teenager on my heels choked on her own saliva upon hearing my response, but maybe my imagination just saw the flying saliva in the air there for comedic relief because in my head I was thinking EVEN PRETTIER? Where did this confidence and sassy attitude come from? I was so dumbfounded over the words which so casually flew from my mouth that I didn't hear a word the lady behind the card table said but when she held the pink plastic bag in front of my face I did accept the beauty bag which turned out to be pharmacy type items, and now I have a nice assortment of travel sized stuff like lotions and conditioner to take with me to the portfolio review. And a lip gloss, which I did try just to confirm that YES I still detest the feeling of goop on my lips.
Even prettier! I amuse myself.
