Apparently,
my birthday makes me weepy. All night last night and this morning I have been
on the verge of a meltdown. I thought I was above all that. I had vowed to be
upbeat and happy about my birthday this year, but I have failed. I have come up
with several lies to tell people when they encounter me and my leaky eyes (in
no particular order):
- ·
I
have allergies (technically this is true- they just happen to be nut allergies)
- ·
There
is something in my eye (classic)
- ·
I
put my makeup on in the car and the eyeliner poked me in the eye
- ·
These
are tears of joy
- ·
Someone
is wearing way too much cologne today
- ·
I
just chopped an onion (I don’t usually do this at work, but there’s a first
time for everything)
- ·
My
eyes are so dry I have to keep using eye drops
- ·
I
just watched that video where that one dog saves that one kid’s life
- ·
The
jokes on the back of Laughy Taffys always bring me to tears (not in a good way)
- ·
It’s
my birthday, I can cry if I want to (I’m sure this will be said with
exasperation and anger, maybe even a sarcastic singing voice, leading everyone
to avoid me for the remainder of the day- which means I won’t have to use any
more excuses. )
Anybody
who thinks I’m being a baby can suck it! One year closer to 40 is not as easy
as it looks you snotty 20-somethings!!!!
