Contemplating retinas and mascara

I contemplate more living alone. Maybe I always contemplate, I just speak it. Anyway, I was putting on mascara and trying to remember how many days since I had done so. Then I remembered I can't see all that well. I thought of people who really can't see and how they must do their eye make-up, and I wondered if I walk around with noticeably gobby mascara. I was trying to put it on smoothly and remember what Oprah's make up guy said about doing the bottom lashes when I slipped and make a big black spot on the side of my nose. Now I am wondering about old people putting on make up. Not too good. Think about people with obviously dyed red and black hair, maybe they don't know it doesn't look so good not because they have bad taste; maybe it's bad vision.

A woman I know wore way too much eye make-up. She was either legally or illegally blind. I'm not sure which. She worked in mapping. If anyone reading this knows her, please don't take it the wrong way. Toni, does anyone read this? She was a lovely woman... just way too much eye shadow. She helped me requisition a really good magnifying glass for work...I am also pretty much illegally blind but too lazy for that much eye shadow. I wear JUST enough.

Toni, I hope you got the voo-doo angel I sent for your birthday. She was my favotite one so far. I hope she didn't get lost, but being an angel, she will no doubt find her way back to one of us.

See you soon. Happy birthday!
Love,
Deaner

Deaner, the voodoo angle arrived and is flying over the diningroom table. Yes, certainly everyone reads this. Mostly employees of Maricopa county. Didn't they mention it at the water cooler? I'm not sure at what point blindness passes from legal to illegal (or the othr way around), but I can see there are still double yellow lines on myside and I am staying legal, thank you.

The bloggers I know talk about all the "lurkers" out there who read your blog, but never comment (AKA show themselves). I'm sure for every comment you receive there are easily 1,000 folks who just read, laugh their butts off, lurk back the next day. To be sure, you are famous water coolers world wide.

Does this voodoo angel have real power? To do "bad" that is? OH, maybe what I'm really looking for is a voodoo devil.

Love to you both,
A
