Me, "Did you know someone invented a cream that makes your eyelashes grow thicker?"
Rebecca (professional fake eyelash wearer), "WHAT!?"
Me, nodding, "But do you know what one of the side effects is? It's really scary."
Rebecca, eyes wide, breath baited, hands clasped, "Hemorrhoids!"
Me, squinting one eye, utterly confused, "NO. It can turn the iris of your eyes brown."
Rebecca, "Oh."
Me, barely holding it together, "How can you get hemorrhoids from an eye cream?"
Rebecca, frowning, suspecting she's being made fun of, "Well, you said it was a scary side effect. Hemorrhoids are scary!"
Me, losing it, laughing and snorting: "It's a good thing you're pretty."
Rebecca, stomping from the room, "SHUT UP LIZ!"

Oh Liz,
Funny story, sounds like something my sister would say.
Glad to have you back. Life can be hard sometimes and it can be equally hard to be in the happy blog world and put on a smile. We all have those times. It's the blog world that always seems to be able to put a smile on my face. So welcome back, we missed you.
Take care,
Lisa
I guess I'm a LIZ.
That sounds like something I would say as it being the reaction :) I'm glad your back, I thought I was going to be lost without your since of decorating style and yummy food. Me and my husband will be celebrating 4 years in October and even though God has put us in very bad storms (not relationship wise but jobs and money and sickness) I wouldn't change my "shoes" (love your meme's quote, very true) for the world. Sometimes you have to take a break and get yourself together so you can enjoy life again. I hope you have a fabulous week and did I mention I'm so so happy your back!!

Ha! I know exactly the commercial you girls are talking about. Oh the tragedy of having BROWN EYES. :)
Hemorrhoids are scary, too.
I'm just cracking up about every time I visit your blog I see places so familiar to me!
Whenever someone says something less than intelligent, my siblings and I are always "ooh, you're so pretty" (to one another, not to, you know, strangers or anything). Too funny!
Haha! Well, hemorrhoids are much scarier than brown eyes!
that's hilarious! that's such a funny picture of your sister too! it looks like her bottom lip is quivering.
omg. she sounds just like my daughter! http://goosefairy.blogspot.com/2008/04/snerk.html
Gosh I wish I had a sister. Brothers just punch you when they get teased, therefore they don't get teased unless they are at a safe distance away from me, their sister.
Makes perfect sense to me...you could end up with hemorrhoids from straining too hard to see through the thick lashes!

So if I already have brown eyes, does that mean they will turn another color or darker? I'm with your sister - hemorrhoids are scary! Never had them but just the though...oy!
The girls at the office where I get my Botox (don't judge, I do it for migraines!) use the eyelash stuff.
They look like camels! Those poor girls are in their twenties and have had as much work done as Joan Rivers. They look like blow-up dolls at this point.
I have green eyes, so I was too scared to try it. Plus, having to trim my eyeleashes every other month sounded scary.
Oh my gosh...I have tears in my eyes! haha!
This has me laughing out loud!! Good thing there aren't many people in the office today.
Well..I don't know about eyelash cream giving you the Big H, but did you ever read about the Hollywood starlets using PrepH around their eyes to reduce fine lines? I swear, it's TRUE! hahaha.... Who knows if it works.
a good laugh at rebecca's expense.
Had reached a point in the day where I really needed a laugh. Thanks for this! Perfect timing.
Ahh, sisters. God love 'em, and you do too. I feel like I practically know your sister from all the wonderful and funny posts about her.
I have two sisters (well, one now and one in heaven, well, actually two in heaven if you count the sister I never knew, but ok enough of this). All that to say, I can't imagine my life without my sisters, biological or spiritual. :)
I hope your break was refreshing. I have to do that every now and again myself.
I wish I had a sister. LOL Y'all are so funny!!
a good ol' southern saying i say myself!
:)
Liz -
Oh....I think hemorrhoids are scary too!!
poo
:^)
Getting those on your eye REALLY would be scary... and a medical miracle! ;-)
cute.
sandy toe
awww, thats so cute!
Sisters. Can't live with them and wouldn't want to live without them.
That is a hilarious conversation! It actually sounds like something I would say - to which my hubby would respond with his usual remark: "Keep your looks honey!" Thanks for the laugh!
Are you talking about revitalash? That stuff really works but I can't afford to buy anymore. Since I have blue eyes, maybe I won't even try.
Me: Hemroids ARE scary. But maybe not as much as brown eyes.
I'm dying. That sounds so similar. My sister is "blonde" too. We have so many stories about her.
Isn't that scary... I mean the brown eyes? Now, if you've always had brown eyes, it's OK. But my baby blues have always been complemented and now that I have thinning eyelashes I thought this might be a miracle drug. Nope, not if it might make my eyes brown. How does Brooke Shields (spokesperson for this product) take this risk?
That commercial freaks me out! The "before" eyelashes are so much better than the possibility of brown irises. And your sister's comment...hilarious!
