When all of my eyelashes started falling out I thought: "no big deal; I just wont get to wear mascera for a while."  My last eyelash fell out yesterday and I am in mourning.  Not because I miss having full, beautiful eyelashes, but because I can not go 1 day without getting something in my eye.  I don't even know what it is: dust, dirt, chocolate cake, who knows?  All I know is my eyelashes used to catch it and now that they aren't there anything that wants to can deposit itself right in my eye.  So as I sit here, resisting the urge to rub my eye (I have been awake for 30 minutes and I already have something in it), I tell you: If you woke up with all of your eyelashes this morning then you are a lucky, lucky person!
