 Day 3

So I woke up this morning with a phone number sprawled across my forearm written in, of all things, lipstick. Took me a minute to remember how it had gotten there, and in the meantime my friends were making up all sorts of stories about it. Unfortunately the true story isn't so exciting as theirs. My phone was dying and I needed to make sure I had a friend's number out of it, and in the absence of a pen I decided that lipstick was the next best thing. Problem is, it's now 5:41 in the afternoon and I still can't get the stuff off! Darned colorfast stuff won't stay on my lips but it's determined to stain my arm forever.

Just to clarify- yes this occurred in a state of inebriation, while on an impossible mission to find a taxi in fact. I was convinced my phone would die and I'd never make it home alive :)

Honestly I'm not thrilled with this photo, but shooting in my sister's room is a little frustrating, and I'm a little hungover, so I just went with something. This was technically the best picture = less photoshop so it won. The crop and that trigger are reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaally bothering me though.

You are funny. I know I am gonna get to this point pretty soon of - "what the heck do I do now?" Looooooove the story behind this photo. Enjoy those while you can. I'm a married mom of 3 and somehow I think that me telling this kind of story would not get the same kind of haha reaction that I am giving to yours lol. You look pretty good for having a hangover. What a trooper...

Wish I had a trigger :( I like the pose that shows off all of the number but one digit, almost like you smudged it off and then were just lost as to who or what it went to :) I used to have nights like that LOL

Oh that's just the first 6 digits, there are four more on the other side of my arm. I'm serious there's lipstick aaaallll over my arm right now. And it still won't come off. On the bright side, I've got my friend's number memorized for good now!
