I rarely wear a full face of makeup any more. It is just a waste of time and expensive chemicals to paint a face that never steps out the door. So, unless I am going someplace where my appearance is an important part of the outing, I just don’t wear it any more.

But today I had to go to a restaurant to meet friends who used to work with me. I wanted to fit in with them, as they are all still gainfully employed and still have to dress to impress.

So I dug out my makeup bag from the dresser drawer and commenced to applying makeup to my face. Sadly, some of the makeup has actually turned bad – the foundation bottle that I used burned my face, made it itch and caused a rash. So I had to toss that out and wash it off. Then the eyeliner was so dried out and clumpy that I could not use it. And then the lipstick burned my lips. The whole exercise was a disaster!

Here we go again!Woke up to snow this morning and it has been snowing all day – again!

This is too much snow and too cold for my comfort. But the entire country has snow this week. Every U. S. state except Hawaii.

We don’t get much snow here and when we do it is an event. People panic and close schools, run to Kroger for groceries and buy a load of firewood from the guys in pickup trucks parked on the side of the road.

To be prudent, the school board allows 5 snow days each year to be built into the school calendar. Last year we did not use a single snow day. But this year, we have already used up all 5 and are going to have a 6th day tomorrow, which will have to be made up later this spring. And we still have 5 weeks of winter left to go!
