ANOTHER MENOPAUSE MOMENT..................

Everyday I have a ritual that I follow when I wake up......
After taking out the Boo Dog I jump into the shower......
When I get out and I dry off............ I cover my hair with a towel......
I slather Kiehl's Sodium PCA "Oil Free" Moisturizer on my face and neck....
Then goes on the Cover Girl (been using CG for 45 years).....Tru-Blend #4
a little Cover Girl professional loose powder #110....
Then comes the CG #542 lip stain in Brazen Raisin......
I think that name suits me.....
The gray......I'm mean dark brown.....head of hair gets blown dry.....
A little spritz of perfume.....
If Boo is no where around on goes the Clinque Aromatics Elixir....if not
I use Donna Karan's "Cashmere Mist".....
Now I do this whether I am going out for the day or staying home with the Boss.....
because even after 40 years you should look good even if your cleaning bathrooms all day.....
So what's the Menopause part your asking yourself......Okay I'm getting to that.....
Yesterday I got up and followed the above daily routine.....
Except I do leave the house on Sunday mornings to go food shopping......
I must have forgotten to wake up before going through all those above steps
BECAUSE.................
When I went to put on the CG liquid make-up in the little pump bottle
this is what I put on my face instead.....
That's right.....cold and wet
Dry Idea deodorant......
I must have been having a brain cloud as I wasn't distracted by anything.....
When realizing what I had done......and thank goodness I realized!!!
I quickly washed it off the left side of my face and since no one was watching....
I just wrote it off to
"Another Menopause Moment".

Oh Sue,
So funny and I can so relate! About a month ago, hubby and I were eating at the Olive Garden. I hurried to the bathroom without even thinking and when I came out, I kept wondering why they had put urinals in the Woman's bathroom. Then it struck me, OMG, I'm in the Men's. I hurried out and just met one very surprised guy as he was coming in. A Very Menopausal moment! Hugs, Cindy

So funny. My Mom sprayed toliet bowl cleaner on her hair instead of hairspray once. Me? I can't keep my kids' names straight.

Am I laughing...darn right. Do I need to come and take care of you girlfriend? On second thought, better not, I have those moments and who knows what could happen and then if we put Joyce in the mix we could really have Marietta laughing. WE could embarrass our children and be front page news.

Hysterical post.

I am so RELIEVED! You do it too. I worry about myself sometimes. The other day I was getting gas and I swear it wasn't working - called for help - the man came out in the rain - and of course - it started right away for him!!

You do know that I can so relate to that, don't you? As I've slowly lost my estrogen, I've slowly lost my mind. A couple of years ago I drove out of the gas station still hooked to the pump. Kind of an expensive and very embarrassing moment! Mimi

That is soooo funny. I am laughing at your menopause moment. I have plenty of those so I can sit here and laugh at yours.

At least you wouldn't have had to worry about "face sweat"! I say one too many hot flashes took over the ye old brain. :)

What if you do silly things like that BEFORE menopause? My luck, I'll put the laundry in the fridge....and the milk in the dryer.

Too funny...and familiar! Ouch!

Actually I have more of an evening routine than a morning one. ("Dressed up" for me is putting on a bra!) Recently, my husband asked, "New nightgown?"

I informed him (rather indignantly) that I'd worn it dozens of times. Later, when I looked in the mirror I realized it DID look different.

I'd put it on backwards.

Hahahahaha.... now don't chalk it up to menopause, Sue! In the past, when I was WAY younger, I've done such things as sprayed hair spray under my arms (remember spray deodorants?), and mistaken a tube of cuticle cream for toothpaste. I've tried to shampoo my hair with conditioner, which by the way does NOT work, and I am sure there are plenty of other boo-boos I'm guilty of. Hmmm, deodorant on the face? that might work for hot flashes, though -- you may be on to something!

I came over from Joyce's to read about the tea (looked like all ya'll had a great time) and read this first. A few weeks ago I sat down at my computer with my first cup of coffee for the day. Took a sip and gagged. I mean it was awful! Stupid me tasted it again and no it didn't taste any better. Made a fresh pot and the same thing. Wasn't until the next day that I realized I had filled my Sweet n Low bowl with baking soda! I don't keep anything in the original box, but still, you think I would've noticed or at least figured it out sooner! Glad I'm not the only one doing such things! Cheers!

Too funny. I'm sure the only reason I haven't done that myself is because I keep my deoderant and my make up in different drawers.

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
