Getting the weekly Teen Corner column written and edited is quite an ordeal here at Makeup Bag.

Just for fun, I thought I’d give you a little peek into my week (think of it as my gift to you!):

Sunday

Mom: Have you thought about your column for this week?

Me: Please, mother. I’m still recovering from yesterday’s editing process. My brain needs a moment to herself.

Monday

Mom: Don’t forget to think about this week’s Teen Corner.

Me: Forget ? You’re making this too easy for me, Mom.

Mom: Cute. I need a first draft by Wednesday.

Me: Does a title count as a first draft?

Tuesday

Mom: First draft is…

Me: Whoa whoa whoa, whoa! Don’t go getting all bossy with me, woman. I know my deadline.

Mom: …just making sure.

Wednesday

Mom: I’m waiting.

Me: Um. I have volleyball practice. And I need to study for a test. And my little sister wants me to read to her. And I need to organize my necklaces. And I think I hear Dad calling me…

Mom: ?!

Thursday

Mom: Are we going to go through this again? Seriously?

Me: Mom, chill. I’ve got it all written out in my head. I just have to get it down on paper.

Mom: Bree, I don’t have time…

Me: You’re doing that yelling-with-a-calm-voice thing that I hate. Please stop.

Mom: Would you rather I yelled with a yelling voice?

Friday

Me: MOOOOOOOOOOOMMM—I finished my first draft!

Mom: Only because you want to go out.

Me: Whoa there Nellie. Do you want the draft or not?

Saturday

Me: Mother, are you KIDDING ME? There’s more red marks on this paper than a 27-year-old with Chicken Pox. I have plans today—I don’t have time to re-write this entire thing.

Mom: Ahahahahahahahaaaa. HA.

Me: Bugllshsrignsdlkfignlkdnsdlngkdlslslsl!!!!#@ !

Mom: Ha.

I really shouldn’t complain because Teen Corner is a lot of fun. My friends are so jealous that I have my own column on a makeup website—and I have access to some incredible products. And I have real, live, readers!

Thank you for stopping by here every week and supporting Teen Corner .

I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season—with lots of lipgloss and yummy-smelling shampoo—and I look forward to sharing with you in 2008.

xoxo, Bree
