- Everybody in the world but me has eyelash extensions
- Some look pretty, but a bit long
- Some look like bath mats attached to eyelids
- If you ever wonder if simple is not best
- Sit and people watch in an airport
- There’s your answer
- When I am boss of the world
- No in-transit food stop
- Will be allowed to charge 2000% more for a bottle of water than it costs at the Superstore
- I am not talking about the Romaine spine wraps
- Oh shoot
- I don’t like air travel
- And I bet you are picking up on that
- The good part
- However
- Is arrivals
- Families with flowers
- Signs that say welcome
- Mothers getting young sons home for the weekend
- Just long enough for them to remember that these really are the best people in the world
- Not replaced by book clubs
- Grandchildren shy to meet grandparents
- Who have borrowed strollers from the neighbours for this visit
- Goofy guys being hugged and held for a real long time
- By girls probably too good for them
- And the guys know it too
- But maybe the girls know something we don’t
- Yes sometimes the getting there
- Is worth all the trouble

I love airports for all the reasons you cite. The part about the arrivals makes me think of the movie "Love, Actually." Safe travels!
I loath travel, makes me a home body. I have a friend who got eyelash extensions and she NEVER wears makeup and she looked so fabulous I went to get extensions too. My eyes watered so much in the prep that it was literally a total wash out. Alas no fluttering lashes for me.
Those lash extensions are "intriguing", aren't they? No, I don't have any.
I take an empty water bottle to the airport in my carry-on bag. To get filled for free at the water fountain or in the airplane.
For the last 5 years, I've been on a medication for Glaucoma that makes my eyelashes grow. At first, I thought it was cool. Then I read something about the medication also makes you look hollow eyed. So, I now I think I have hollow eyed eyes with long lashes--think owl like. But, I have my sight, and with mascara, I look pretty damn good. Also, sitting at airports and railway stations (like I used to in Montreal), always make me teary eyed. I love it.
Hi, Lovely dress. Just add a cami under, or a T. Safe travel! Cathie!
Best airport arrival scene for me was seeing one of my sons when he returned from a military tour in Afghanistan. Pure joy and relief.
