As it is the “Year of the Camel,” I have another saying from the sands of Egypt. I was reminded of it when my daughter asked if I had an emery board when we were out and about.
I directed my girl on the board’s whereabouts in my purse that day, and she was obliged to find and open my cute little organization bag. I put my beauty products in there. Apparently, I only have lipsticks. Four of them. (I had five before last week.) I also had lip balm, but that doesn’t count.
I endured some good-humored teasing as I couldn’t really explain why all of those lipsticks were necessary. I think I lose them, buy another, then find them? I’m almost out, buy another one, and then I keep the dying color around longer? They procreate mysteriously? I have a coupon to use.
So I have a “lipstick affliction?” My camel saying applies aptly here. “One camel does not make fun of another camel’s hump.”
