I feel awful.
I’ve been in bed most of the day.

Now, I don’t feel awful because I have been in bed – I have been in bed because I feel awful.
My family all left for church at 9:15 AM and I crawled back into bed. The last thing I remember was hearing the van accelerate out of the driveway.

My next conscious thought was at 10:40AM when I thought, “I can’t believe I slept so long. I need to get up.”

Then the phone rang. I thought, “Who calls during church?? I am going to lay here and listen to the answering machine to hear who would call during church!”

It was Honey. It was 12:05PM. Honey was calling to say that we were supposed to go to a friends for brunch and could he assume that was a no go. 12:05PM!!!!!

I’d be in bed now except that KB has ceremoniously destroyed all of my lipstick. I have contacted my Mary Kay Rep (aka my sister) and ordered 2 new tubes of Raisinberry (my favorite color since my post college love affair with Clinique’s Suede Suede) but it won’t be here until my mom visits in Feb. This well-trained southern gal can NOT go three weeks with no lipstick.

What does that have to do with me dragging myself out of bed today? I have a coupon that expires today and a sale at Walgreens that started today that, when combined will produce a FREE TUBE OF LIPSTICK! And if one is going to buy a “make due tube” then a free tube is just what the doctor ordered.

The rush of it all just might make my head stop hurting.
