Beauty -- All Fun and Games Till Someone Loses an Eye

So this morning-- I was doing my usual flight of the bumble bee getting ready for work-- this is caused by my unrelenting desire to stay in bed-- and my love for the snooze button-- what can I say - I love my sleep-- and I need my beauty rest! So I'm getting ready -- and I reach into my bag of tricks-- yes all women have a bag of tricks they use each morning while they get ready -- well I reach in and pull out a small torture device known as "The eyelash curler". Chet is very scared of this device- as most men are-- and should be-- if you've ever gotten a piece of your eyelid in your curler you know the torture and pain I'm talking about -- Well I get it out-- and proceed with my usual curling ritual-- One eye down -- next-- I clamp on to the second eye - and snap -- Oh my eye-- I'm blind-- AAA! I look down through my one good eye-- and see my eyelash curler has self destructed-- the part that reaches up and clamps your eyes-- has broken through and is protruding out the wrong way -- and in the process of this disaster-- my eye has been slammed -- with all the force I had behind the curler! Oh ouch! I rubbed my eye for a minute-- wondering how I was going to go to work with only one set of eyelashes curled-- oh well-- I'll just have to sacrifice today! Rough day for a Thursday!

So here is the warning-- be careful when reaching into your bag of tricks-- you never know when one might jump out and punch you in the eye!
