Former Friday ~ Glamorous Me

For the next few weeks (maybe longer), I am going to do something I am going to call "Former Friday." I will be posting things that I have written in the past (either from here or from another origin).

This old post makes me laugh because it was written about 3 months after my Lyme Diagnosis. Ironically now, I am a bit more "aware" about my appearance and I sometimes do care about what I look like when I'm going somewhere special. Ironically later today, I am going to get my "hair did" again. I've been keeping it looking decent this time around. I have gone to the hair dresser more this year than I think I have in the last five years combined.

The following was written on June 16, 2007.

Hair, Make-up and a Dress

Those of you that know me in person know that I am NOT into making myself look Glamorous. I couldn't care less if I was wearing sweatpants to meet the Queen of England herself. I couldn't care less if I was wearing work out clothes to meet Michael J. Fox or Patrick Dempsey (okay maybe I *DO* care about that one. I am NOT that person. I did not have someone special "Do" my hair for my wedding. I did not have someone special "Do" my make up it either. I threw it up in a bun like any other day and ran with it!

So WHY am I going NUTS over a stupid banquet? I feel like one of those high maintenance chicks that goes nuts over hair and make up. Do these shoes go with this dress? Could I wear this ring with that watch? I spent TWO HOURS straitening my hair. How many of you think that anyone will notice? AND now I'm worried about a freaking handbag. Here it is with almost an hour to go and I'm just now thinking ..my purse won't match.

I can thank my parents for sending me to Barbizon because if I want I CAN actually do my make up.

I don't know if I'm hearing "Glamorous" in my head or "Man I feel like a Woman" by Shania Twain. And you guys know that I despise country music. Fortunately for all of you, you won't see me look like this! I feel like an impersonator of someone else. I don't feel like Jennifer! I feel like ... (insert anyone you know that wears a lot of make up and dresses up high maintenance).
