So I'm afraid I'm having a bit of a pity party for myself this morning. I think it's the lack of new car, which I was hoping would pull me out of my wallowing ways. See previous blog about ex having a baby and it may make sense. However, that's no excuse for random crying jags during the morning commute but that's exactly what just happened. Luckily, as the urge to bawl was rolling up from my gut and threatening to flood my eyes, I was applying mascara. Yes, I put on makeup while driving. I'm sure that will be illegal soon (but I still talk on my phone while driving so it probably won't change my habit) but for now, it's a risky behavior I engage in daily.
Just as the mascara was drying, tears started to well up. This is the best part- I choked them back! Not because I am strong and not because I cared what the guy in the car next to me thought (especially after I watched him pluck his nose hairs- true story). No, it's because I didn't want to have to deal with wiping up mascara from under my eyes when I arrived at work.
So this is my new trick to prevent crying at random times. I will just invest in tubes of mascara and stash them in my car, purses, and coat pockets. I will bring them to sappy movies and I will make damn sure they live on my nightstand. Thank you Cover Girl Mascara.
