I'm also hoping that the disco ball doesn't fall on my head. Today has been a little more tense so far, problems of various nature arising, and requiring immediate attention. But, considering how well everything has gone to this point, I really cannot complain.
I have a sad story to tell you guys, a sad story that has left me, hair gelless, lighterless, mascaraless, and mousseless (I also think I just added about four new words to the language I am inventing). When I arrived at the airport, I was under the impression that only international flights were banning liquids on luggage. I, unfortunately, was mistaken. As I walked through security, they tore apart my bag, and took my hair gel, mascara, lighter, and mousse. I mean, really the guy standing behind the counter was only following orders, but I was quite sure my hair was going to explode any moment without products. I, however; smiled sweetly and said "Have fun with my mascara, I think it will look fabulous on you." He kind of chuckled, in a nervous sort of way. And that my friends was my brush with security while flying down here....I hope none of you were too moved by the tears that I am sure are streaming down your face at this unfortunate event. It is due to your great sorrow, that I have written the following letter:
Dear Sir or Madam:
I realize that the sudden shock of the loss of hair gel, lighter, mousse, and mascara has left you reeling in pain and sorrow. I wish that I could soften your pain and grief with better news, however, the stark events still stand out on this bleak day in history.
I assure you that I have survived without those things for two whole days now, without going into shock or withdrawl over thie event. Please, do not worry about my immediate health, as I seem to be pulling together enough courage to get through each day
If you are going to be sending flowers or condolence cards - please direct them to my hotel room, where I have made a memorial on top of the fridge.
Yours truly,
Mary - the gelless, mousseless, lighterless, and mascaraless girl
