You've all had the dream. You are out in public.....naked! You wake up and are so glad it was just a dream. I'm sure the dream analysts all explain your subconscious is feeling exposed to something. Well two days ago my 17 year old asked me if she could use her flat iron on my hair and I showered and let her do my hair. It was great not having to worry about doing it myself. I rushed my ten year old to her basketball game where I stood with a crowd of parents waiting for the gym doors to open. I then remembered I was naked.........well I was fully clothed but I didn't have a lick of makeup on. Now I'm no Tammy Faye Baker who puts tons of make up on to disguise what they really look like underneath but I always make sure I at least put on mascara! The years have not been kind to my eyelashes and I prefer to look like I actually have some. So as I'm standing naked (make-up-less) in the fluorescent lighting of the large gym, running into every parent I know, I felt completely exposed. I thought about putting my hood up on my sweatshirt - but that would just make me look like an eyelash-less gangster mom. Maybe I could find a sharpie in my purse and I could just permanently color my eyelashes black - but I'm sure if that would work, somebody would have thought of that by now. I looked around to see if I was the only one without eyelashes and sure enough, everyone I looked at actually had visible ones. I was suddenly mad at men! How dare they get to go completely exposed out in public each day without a worry about the coloring of their face. It's cruel. So the good thing about the evening was that nobody said anything to me at the game, ooh, now that I think about it, maybe they didn't recognize me. Anyway, this blog is supposed to be about getting it together. I did learn a very important lesson from this........................always, always, always carry a tube of mascara in your purse and an extra outfit in your dreams.

Very Funny!
