CONFESSION: addiction

I love lip gloss, chapstick, lip balm. You name it...I love it. I have lots of "lip" items.

When I get a new lip gloss I want to put it on every 5 minutes or so...I restrain myself and only put it on every couple of hours...but it's a struggle.

I just purchased some Neutrogena Lip Soother. It's peach flavored...and I am in LOVE!

For Good

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say id I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good...
(For Good, Wicked Soundtrack)

Human Nature...or Is It???

Human Nature? I like to think so...but you tell me.

This all started many, many, many moons ago in a land I will call Crossing Woods with a person...I shall call him...Jose Smith. He did not have any...let's say...finger nails. When you would ask what happened...Jose would refuse, but not just refuse...adamantly refuse. And so the curiosity started...

Now, this isn't something I have thought of everyday...or even every year...but when I hear Jose's name...the no finger nails quickly comes to mind.

Fast Forward to Yesterday...My co-worker...let's call him Clark, is talking to someone in the elevator we are both in...and whose name should come up? None other than Jose Smith. Can there be two Jose Smith's? Very Likely.

The questioning begins.
Me "How do you know Jose Smith?"
Clark "He is my brother-in-law"
Me "How old is he?"
Clark "24"
Me "Did he attend school in the Crossing Woods?"
Clark "I think so...why?"
Me "Does he have FINGER NAILS????" (excitement starting to build)
Clark "I haven't ever noticed."
Me "Will you call your sister right now and find out, and if he doesn't please find out why"
Clark "What will you give me?"
Me "I will buy you a foot long sandwich at Blimpie."

Needless to say, Clark called, it is the same Jose Smith...and the mystery is solved.

Human Nature?
Does it really matter that Jose had no finger nails and he didn't want to say why? Nope.
Did it really matter if I found out the reason? Not at all.
So why did I have a desire to know...so much that I paid $6.00 for a sandwich?
Curiosity...pure and simple.
Curiosity to find out such a well guarded secret.
How do I feel now that I know? That is a question for another day...
Human Nature? You tell me.
