It's Okay Tuesday

Borrowed from the ever-lovely Claire Marie, it's "Hey, it's okay!" Tuesday.

It's okay... to let your five year old run around the house half-naked.  She's comfortable in her skin, and knows she has to wear clothes in public.  Why not?

It's okay... to use a bottle glass of wine as a self-bribe to get things done.

It's okay... to look the other way when the kids let the dog finish their dinner, once in a while.

It's okay... to mourn the loss of your favorite vibrator, due to old age, as though you would mourn the loss of a friend.

It's okay... to pick your kid up from school in pajamma pants once in a while.

Make-up Monday!

Okay, so we've had Bloggers in the Buff - a day when we revealed our "true" selves to the internet, bared all of our wrinkles and imperfections for all to see.

I'm not ashamed to say that I am "in the buff" pretty much every day.  It's rare to see me in a picture where I'm actually wearing "nice" clothes, have my hair done, or have make-up on.

Because I feel that those things are also a facet of my personality, I propose this:  For those of you who are like me and rarely get to show off your "cleaned up" side, go ahead and post it today.  Don't guilt about feeling vain for it, because you're not.  You deserve to show off that side of you, and no one will judge you for getting made up specifically for this.  Technically, I'm prompting you to do it because I think you deserve to feel pampered for a few minutes (Yes, I'm projecting here,) but we'll say it's in the name of the Meme, just for further justification. :)  I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

So, here it is: Makeup Monday.  I'm going to cheat and post the pictures I took of myself this weekend.  I had a wedding to attend, and damn did my makeup look fabulous! I even did my manicure myself, and I wore the single cutest pair of shoes ever.

And, here's Kinder Major, since she was so pleased with her dress and hair, too!
