I had a heck of a time finding it, but when I was in Nebraska I got some of my favorite kind of lip balm. I like it because it feels lighter than other kinds I’ve used and because it’s lemony. I used it a couple times while I was in Nebraska because it was so cold there. Then I put it in my coat pocket. Boy, am I glad I did.
Yesterday my lips wouldn’t stop feeling dry. I was to the point that I was self-conscious because I was sure they were bright red, cracking, and bleeding. They weren’t. I was using my lip balm constantly. I’ve worried in the past that if you use it too often, your lips get “addicted” to it and won’t function normally without it. I didn’t worry about that yesterday. Balm away!
Heh. That’s a hilarious picture.
My lips are addicted to lip balm, and that’s fine by me. My bottom lip for years had a bleedy crack down the middle and two gross scabs on each side of that. Yech. I’ll take addicted now, thank you.
I’m addicted to lipstick. But in a pinch I’ll settle for balm.
I’m with Lauren…and besides, what’s one more addiction?
There is a balm for crazy Brad,
To seal the mouth full of rips,
There is a balm for crazy Brad,
To heal the skin sick lips.
Love the song. I sang it aloud. Well done.
I’m jealous. That rivals any parodies I’ve ever composed. Brava, Senora!
For what it’s worth….it is my understanding that people typically lick their lips when wearing flavored lip balm so you actually are making dry lips dryer.
I’m with Beth, I like lipstick. I can suggest a few colors for you Brad. Start with bright red until the scabs are gone.
What kind of pictures do you have on your blackboard this year? I can’t make them out.
I have a couple of winter joke comics, some pictures of Max, and this picture:

I’ve wanted to do a whole post about the picture in the link, but I keep forgetting. It’s AWESOME, isn’t it?!?
I saw that picture. Did you show it to me?
So I’m guessing the relative humidity yesterday in the whole building was only about 2%, as my lips had the same feeling, Brad. I was sure I developed that telltale middle school outer lip redness I’ve seen more than one overly-nervous young adolescent develop at this time of year…or any time they feel like they’re under extreme pressure…or their mother is protesting about something on their behalf and they’re embarrassed about that…y’all know what I mean, right?
Anywho, I now have lip “goo” (my affectionate term for it) in my coat pocket, the “sandwich keeper” in the dashboard of the Subaru (Forester owners may know what I’m referring to there), the outer flap of my purse, etc. As the late Karl Malden used to retort, I “don’t leave home without it”.
