Pink, it’s a nice color, not my favorite color, but definitely
on my top five list. It’s usually nice
to see pink, though there are definitely some cases where pink isn’t so great. We’ll start with the bad and the inspiration
for today’s post:
Pink Eye, otherwise known as Conjunctivitis, which I woke up
with this morning. It’s not really
painful, just itchy like crazy, and means staying home from work for a day
because it’s so contagious before starting the drops. It also means a co-pay at the doctor’s office
for about five minutes of their time and throwing away all of the eye makeup I’ve
used for the past few days. Definitely
the bad.
Now for the Ugly, Pepto-Bismol. My mom gave it to me for motion sickness when
I was a kid. It doesn’t work for that,
not at all, and that’s all I’m going to say on the matter. My sister says I’ve held onto a childhood
trauma for way too long, but I can barely stand to walk past the stuff in the
store. I definitely can’t bear even the thought of actually ingesting it. Definitely the ugly.
Now for the good, and yes, I realize I’ve gone through the
good, the bad, and the ugly a little backwards, but I wanted to end on a positive
note; pink roses. I love them. Actually, I love all roses, but pink roses
are definitely my favorite. I know some people
think they’re a little too traditional or boring, but I think they’re classy
and beautiful. Pink roses are also
considered to be an expression of poetic romance, so I’m very happy when
my husband gives them to me.
So there you have it, the good, the bad, and the ugly of
pink.
I hope your eyes feel better soon! I had it once and had to buy new contacts, expensive! I love pink roses too and am so excited because my 4th of July climbing rose is loaded with buds that will bloom in a pink on pink rose that smells like candy apples, I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteFortunately I don't have to replace contacts, I'm such a baby about my eyes I finally gave up on them a long time ago. That rose sounds amazing! I don't really know the different types, but I may have to look into that. I love roses, and I love candy apples. What an awesome combination! I do hope you'll post pictures on your blog.
Deletethey are beautiful--clever post!
ReplyDeletePink-eye is totally not fun! :( I hope it clears up fast! And yellow roses are my fav, but pink is a close second.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I like the yellow ones too, and they look good with pink. :-)
DeleteHope your eyes clear up quickly.... Have to say, I'm really not a fan of pink or of roses for that matter can't tolerate the scent in the house.
ReplyDeleteThanks. My best friend isn't much of a rose girl either. I think it's neat how different people are drawn to different flowers.
DeleteSuch beautiful roses! Sorry about the conjuntivitis. That is a yucky one. I think it needs an antibiotic to clear up, though. Hope you feel better soon! ps. You might remove your word verification. It's a deterrent to leaving comments. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have the antibiotic drops and they seem to be making a difference already. Thanks for the heads up about the word verification. I think it's turned off now. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh fair pink eye, how I cringe at the sight of thee. I had it recently too. ha. Tell your sister you're not the only one who holds onto childhood traumas. I have one for almost everything ranging from avocados to mayonnaise!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm interested in the avocado and mayonnaise traumas.
