Put The Wand Down!

Ok, I'm finally all moved in now (*sigh of relief*) and so this has been my first week of the 40 minute commute to work each day. Not only is taking the freeway to work exciting but there's construction between where I live and the freeway so it's especially a treat (please note my sarcasm...) This morning was especially eventful.

In the midst of construction, granted it was stop and go traffic, the lady in the car behind me proceeds to "put on her face for the day" i.e. do her makeup in her car. Now, I love makeup as much as the next girl, I'm quite the fan, but I'm also one of those people who believe that getting ready in the mornings should take place at home-not in the car. I gave this lady the benefit of the doubt at first thinking 'Oh I'm sure she just forgot her eyeliner..' But then I noticed how she was clearly not paying attention to driving, and putting her full face on. Yes, all of it. The eyeliner was followed by mascara (which I noticed was the same I use; Maybelline's Great Lash-how could I not recognize that pink and green bestseller!?) then the eyelash curler and the brow shaper and so on. Good thing we were in stop and go traffic because I'm sure if it had been anything else she would have rear ended me. I kept watching her half in disbelief and half in fear that she in fact would hit me. Then as traffic began to pick up I glanced back and she was on her cell phone! I was pretty frustrated but felt relieved when she soon turned. I probably should have prayed for her and the next poor fellow she followed but obviously that wasn't at the forefront of my mind.

Grrr.....
