Tired!!?? Why!!??

Has anyone ever told you, "You look Tired!"?

What did you say? Thanks?!

This is one of my favorite comments, from the peanut gallery. Why would someone say this, to make a statement, ask a question, or just generally prod into one's life about something which is none of his, or more frequently her, business? What leads one to ask this?

1. Target is wearing glasses today.

2. Target paired blue jeans with a t-shirt and a pony tail.

3. Target is drinking coffee, or the insane alternate, Red Bull.

4. Target ran in the door with 5 minutes to spare.

5. Target is just not speaking to initiator today!!

What are some of the reasons exhibit A, Target, would appear tired today? Keep in mind these sometimes have absolutely nothing to do with the reason why initiator would make a target out of Exhibit A.

1. Exhibit A just got hip, new glasses and would like to rest her eyes from countless hours of suffocation in contact lenses.

2. Exhibit A did not feel like putting together a cute outfit to wear to, um, class, much less the grocery store and bank errands!

3. Exhibit A was cold this morning so she decided to heat up some coffee/tea, or look cool and pay attention with a contemporary Red Bull can, sugar-free no less.

4. Exhibit A always runs in the door with 5 minutes to spare because she does not like to converse with classmates or be confronted by co-workers about taking out the dang trash. Plus she is drinking an energy drink, so of course she is running!!

5. Exhibit A does not feel like putting on a foux front in the presence of a loony blond today!!

One response from the target could simply be, "Yeah, I am, SO....!!!" Or make a conversation out of it to get a little much needed attention, "Why do you ask?" However, I am going to start answering with one of my notorious smart head remarks, and see how the perpetrator responds. My first encounters my go something like this:

a. "I went running this morning at 6am, and you?"

b. "The Vogue editor woke me up awfully early."

c. "I kept telling Ashton Kutcher I wouldn't go on a midnight motorcycle ride with him, but he wouldn't take no for an answer!"

d. "Martha Stewart says she sleeps only five hours, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let her beat me in that department too!"

e. "My boyfriend kept me up all night long. We needed some time together though!"

f. "I missed my weekly spa appointment, because I, ahhh, overslept."

I may be flying on the wings of Red Bull, but no, I'm not going to fake 8 hours of sleep with extra make-up, a slinky dress or a cucumber spa treatment. Know that blue jeans and t-shirts are a staple as well as a hot pair of glasses to enhance intelligence! If I appear ditsy today, it's just because I'm tired, who cares why! Tired eyes aren't always lonely stars; they can be sexy, sultry, or just plain cute.
