However, I've noticed a trend lately. When a few of my friends have little people (children) they suddenly lose their perky, buoyant bounce, that devil-may-care coolness that made them really fun.
The friend who wouldn't be caught dead w/o her MAC pressed-powder compact is now fortunate if she has a chance to whisk a tube of Chapstick across her lips. Weekly appointments at the hairdresser for a wash and set, have been replaced with a cat-in-the-hat looking chapeau because she hasn't thrown a comb into her hair for days on end. When one of them told me she can barely catch a moment to take a shower, I protested.
"I don't think that's such a good idea." :)
