Last week was really boring and I didn't have anything to blog about. This week is looking very similar. But, I'm sitting here at work, trying to think of something interesting to blog about and decided to rant about what I like to call...."The Curse of the Bedroom Eyes".
"The Curse of the Bedroom Eyes" can be summed up as: For some reason I always look sleepy to people and they usually feel to tell me about it. It's irritating. Seriously, if it's not "You look tired!" it's "You just need to smile!" Maybe it has something to do with how hard I work...I'm just too busy being productive to think about grinning all the time? No....I don't think that's it.
The other half of the whole situation is that people feel free to make the comment. It's like..."Well, hi there...you look terrible!" Didn't they ever learn to not say anything if they can't say something nice?
It took me years to come up with a proper response, because, what do you say..."Thanks." Instead I usually say..."That's not good." or "Why is that?".....I try to throw it back at them and make them feel uncomfortable (cause it's just more fun that way).
This morning I must really have been tired because I didn't even bat an eye before replying, "Well, that's a horrible thing to say." I think I really made they guy feel bad....I didn't mean to and tried to play it down. Anyway, I guess I need to work harder at looking cheery and alert all the time....but I get tired just thinking about attempting that...

You always look totally awesome to me! However,I think that "sleepy" might be a better descriptor than "bedroom"... maybe it's just me but "bedroom eyes" have a little different connotation which is much different than looking tired.
I'm glad you told that guy what's what. Funny! And no, you don't look sleepy or bedroomy to me, although I have seen you truly tired on occasion...
I would just like to clarify that I know what "bedroom eyes" means (we have a dictionary of idioms at the library) and I was changing that meaning to be tired looking....because I sleep in my bedroom...see how I did that? I may even have been a little ironic because I don't think I could give a sexy look if I tried...
But thanks for thinking I look awesome. Back at you!
Sorry, I think you get that tired look from your mother. Through her tired eyes you always look great. (I wanted that to be a compliment -- was it?)
I love your sleepy eyes. They are beautiful and mysterious. Maybe that's why all the weirdies can't help themselves.
