Sweet Potato Burger

I want to be more earthy.

Well, I want to wear less makeup, more flowy dresses and lots of costume jewelry, if that counts.

Earthy people have achieved an inner zen that I admire. They just seem content to me. They are at peace with their messy buns. I want that.

So I’m trying this out, right? I take a shower, let my hair dry naturally & head over to the Starbucks to do some work. My dad meets me & is all, “Why have you been crying?” I’m like, “Umm I’m not I just don’t have any makeup on.” He says, “No, you definitely look like you’ve been crying.” *Face palms* I explain that I’m trying to be more one with the earth because earthy people have zen. He said, “You think too much and need to wear makeup in public.”

Crossing “earthy” off of my new persona prospect list.

    You’re a riot! And your dad’s pretty funny too! My husband always jokingly says I should put makeup on before going out so I don’t “scare the masses”…LOL 🙂
