Why it takes two hours to dust my dresser.

begin by removing the endless amounts of crap from the top of the dresser.  You know what I mean…perfume bottles, empty sticks of deodorant, loose bobby pins.   Once all of the erroneous items have been removed, I decide that maybe this would be a good time to sort through the makeup.  So, I park myself on the floor and start testing the lipsticks…one tube at a time.  When I feel that I sufficiently look like a drunken circus clown, I decide to sort through the eyeliner and makeup brushes to see what else can be eliminated.

Wait, did I just find my pore extractor I thought had been lost in the depths of hell?  Why yes, yes I did.  What better time than now to get to work on those blackheads that have been wreaking havoc on my complexion.  Now keep in mind, I still have about 47 shades of lipstick on my mouth and the top of my hands…so why not add fuel to the fire and uproot some clogged pores?
Get out of here, cats!  Can’t you see I’m busy?

The cats looked at me as though I had hair of snakes.  I didn’t know they could run so fast.

By this time, I’m still wearing 47 shades of lipstick and my face is so red from the pore extractor that you’d think I dove headfirst into a 55 gallon drum of crimson Crayolas.  Now, back to the dresser.

Oh look, I found my old tongue ring.  I wonder if I can still…

Never mind.  I’d have a difficult time explaining that one to my doctor.  With a half bleeding tongue, 47 shades of lipstick and a beet red face, I’m fairly confident he’d have me committed.

Now it’s time to spray every bottle of perfume and see which scents pass the sniff test.

Cats, I told you to get out!  You have five seconds or you’re going to smell like Britney Spears on a Cheetos binge.

As I resume dusting, I begin thinking about what a funny story this would make.  So, instead of finishing the dresser, here I am writing about it.

Two hours later and I’m still not done.
