Ha ha. That used to happen to me in high school. It happened by accident the first time and after that I used it to my advantage.

Yep, same here. Truthfully, I easily work 50+ hours a week, and if I wanted a day off, no one would question it. But there's something about being "sent home." It gives me the same feeling I used to get in High School when I'd ditch class.

Have you tried Benefit OrangeAid or LemonAid? One is for your complexion (I think OrangeAid because I use LemonAid).

That reminds me. I need to start laying out or somehow acquire some skin color in the next 3 weeks. This transparent/red thing I have going on isn't working for me.

And they put you in charge of kids??

Bare Minerals Get Started Eyes rocks. As does the weather everything eyeliner setting stuff and the Skin Rever-Upper lotion. I can wear eyeliner without looking like a raccoon.

Oh yes, a little more fun, a 'stolen moment' as it were. Guilt free, really. They've sent you home!!

This is funny because at work today I was telling a guest what a beautiful day it was and how I was going to have to think back to high school and how I would get sent home so I could get out and enjoy the day.

Derail...I just hit a spider that looked like one of those freakin' tree frogs! You know, with the funny knobby feet and stuff, transparent otherwise....I don't think I killed it!! {I heard it fall, though.} I am running away now!

It's never a good thing if you can actually hear a spider fall- they have to be fairly substantial to make noise on impact.
