The Trials and Travails of Julie Shopping for Foundation.


1) Get to store.
2) Freeze up, as she usually does, at the mad number of lines to look at.
3) Start shopping.
4) This one's too dark.
5) This one's too dark.
6) This one's too dark.
7) This one's too dark.
8) This one's too dark.
9) This one's too dark.
10) This one's too dark.
11) This one's too dark.
12) This one's too dark.
13) This one's too light...wtf?
14) Oh crap, the right one is out of stock.
15) Proceed to next line, taking info from previous failed expedition.
16) Oh crap, the same name in this line is too dark.
17) So is this one.
18) And this one.
19) Come on, this isn't funny anymore.
20) Oh, this one is a match.
21) Look at price.
22) Oh hell no.
23) Go to the third line.
24) It's a match!
25) Look at price.
26) This is reasonable.
27) Then see that the whole thing is a mess.
28) Sigh.
29) Move to fourth product line while female store employee is watching.
30) 'Can I help you find something?'
31) Strongly consider telling her 'Yes. Less alabastery skin. So I can buy some fucking foundation more easily.'
32) Shake head, continue trying to work with skin tone.
33) Find one that works.
34) Price is reasonable.
35) Packaging looks good and not damaged.
36) Grab it before someone comes in and steals it out from under me.
37) Grab my damned skittles and a Coke and check out before I find out this has all been a hallucination.

And that was my day.

How about you?
