Good advice. If I listened earlier, I wouldn't be here. But that's just the trouble with me. I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it. -- Alice (Disney's Alice in Wonderland)
We know what the good advice is, right? I know that giving up and letting your three year old sleep in your bed at 3 in the morning will lead to problems (immediate - getting dressed in the dark when your alarm goes off; long term - getting this tantruming drama queen to sleep in her own bed) but DAMN, we are tired and so I don't follow my own advice.
I know that drinking too much caffeine stops having its desired effect and instead will give me a week long headache, but DAMN I am tired and looking for a boost so I don't follow my own advice. (hence the coffee, diet dr pepper and ibuprofen sitting on my desk)
I know that when my internal filter is feeling wobbling I should BACK AWAY and keep my mouth shut. Yeah, not so much lately.
I know that my newest makeup delivery (NARS blush, Bliss handcreme and Too Faced lipstick) will not solve any problems - but DAMN they are fun. (side note, if you are looking for new lipstick, I cannot recommend Too Faced enough, loving it right now).
Yesterday two really fun things: I had an email exchange with someone lovely who will remain anonymous who had to listen to my barrage of complaints about how no one has a freaking positive attitude and was bringing me down (while I am sure she was thinking, DAMN, listen to your own advice) but it did make me feel better and it did make me laugh to hear her responses. Second, texts last night from someone who can ALWAYS make me laugh - best part of my day.
Happy Friday. No advice for the weekend as I won't follow it anyway!
Yay for makeup delivery & fun emails & texts!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally hear you on the too much caffeine. I've struggled being back in office lighting with two huge monitors - headache all week. Blech.
you look very put together for getting dressed in the dark
ReplyDeletei usually end up with mismatched socks
and a stained tshirt : )
caffeine..headaches..sleep..no sleep..a vicious cycle : (
glad new make up and goodies make it a little better
i kind of love this.
ReplyDeleteand girl-- you know i say get the sleep, regardless of any advice given!
