Don't Let Us Get Sick
(Warren Zevon)

Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight

The sky was on fire
When I walked to the mill
To take up the slack in the line
I thought of my friends
And the troubles they've had
To keep me from thinking of mine

Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight

The moon has a face
And it smiles on the lake
And causes the ripples in Time
I'm lucky to be here
With someone I like
Who maketh my spirit to shine

Survivor

I live every day as a survivor, not a victim. This is important. If you have no idea what I mean, that's a great big win for me.
I don't have much desire to be identified by my dark days.

Must-Haves

In celeb interviews, the subject is often asked what makeup must-haves they won't leave home without. I'm no celebrity, but last night I was running behind schedule and had to throw some items in my tiny purse to "make up" at work when I had a minute. It literally took 1.5 minutes. No one even knew I was gone. Turns out I'm not comfortable without: Cover Girl Simply Powder Foundation #505, Cover Girl Line Exact liquid eyeliner in brown #610, Revlon ColorStay lipgloss Eternal Blossom #535, and Almay intense i-color mascara in Black Flash #031.
I'm truly unsure if anyone could detect a difference from when I arrived to after I disappeared for a minute. But I felt better about conquering the world (and an ER full of Service Challenges).
I have a superstition about my lipstick at work. I'm convinced that if I have it on things will run smoothly, even if busy...but if I have naked lips everything will fall apart!
What are your makeup must haves? Do you have makeup superstitions?
