wise words

The day of my high school graduation I cut ALL my hair off.  I thought it would be "fun" to do something different for graduation.  HA!  I left the salon in tears and cried and whined like a baby.  I will never forget the car ride home and my mother telling me, "Get it together!  Put on some lipstick and you will be fine." She was right, lipstick made all the difference.
In high school, just a swipe of lipstick could do the trick.  But now, fifteen years later, lipstick alone ain't enough.  Well...I've poured the drink, I swiped on the lipstick, and I think I see the light.

  2. That is an excellent quote. I'm actually gathering fun inspirational quotes for my daughters 17th birthday party. We are going to use it as a game like an ornament exchange. I wish I could use this one, but that..."pour yourself a drink" part ...not so much for the 17 year old crowd.
