I really do care what people think
I've always say I don't care what people think and I really believed that. I was not being honest with myself every time I said that. Tonight Rory's work had a halloween party for kids/spouse meet and greet. I really didn't want to go, but to make Rory happy I went. As I was getting ready I couldn't decide what to wear. I actually changed twice and asked Rory's opinion of the outfit. If I didn't care what people thought, I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble. I even did my hair and put make up on. What the heck is wrong with me??? I PUT MAKEUP ON!!! No lip stick though, I'm anti-lipstick. Chapstick is the way to go. Lipstick is wayyyy too messy. You have to worry about if its on right or if its on your teeth. I've never worn lipstick. Actually my mom had me try one once, she laughed quite hard and told me it was like watching a 2 year old put on lipstick. I didn't know you weren't supposed to push down when you apply it. Anyways, I guess I do care what people think and I want them to like me. Is that selfish?

Not selfish. Lately I have been thinking I should buy some makeup. Wierd! i usually wear lipstick cause it is quick and makes me feel like I somewhat fit in more with all the makeup wearing people at work.
I have a confession to make. I've been wearing lipstick lately. Waitwaitwait! It's not like whoa nelly lipstick. It's called Mocha Freeze (Mary Kay) and it's really light and looks more like lip gloss, and I've noticed it just helps my face out a bit :)
I feel like I have to wear a little makeup to ensure that I present a professional appearance at work. I'm young (or look young anyway), and when I walk into the exam room people tell me, "are you old enough to do this," or "how old are you? you don't look old enough to do this." So I tend to dress nicer than I would like and I wear some makeup so I look kept :)
The rest of the time I wear a little makeup to cover up my zits, so I don't look pale as a ghost, and to make it so I look like i have eyes. Darn those blonde eye lashes.
I don't think it gets selfish to care what people think until that becomes all you care about. We're women, so we're going to tend to compare ourselves and care what people think of us. As long as we are confident in how Jesus sees us and how your husband sees you (which if he's like jeff he could care less if I wore makeup--he doesn't even notice when i don't, so he says).
