Another thing, I got my very first cold sore. Not something to celebrate, but it was an eye-opening-now-I-have-empathy-for-all-other-cold-sore-endurers, and I had to buy a $16 tube of Abreva that was maybe 1/10 of 1 oz. Ugh! I woke up at about 3am(ish) and it felt like my kid had accidentally scratched my lip and it was burning. I woke up to find a gathering of 7 blisters on my lower lip. It was some burning, tingly, pussy nastiness. Gross, Gross, Gross. I've had it for over a week now, and my hubba hubba husband says I should just pick off the scab, but I informed him scars are for guys so I'd just wait it out. I haven't been able to smooch on him or my babies for a week! This is a picture of it in the healing process. ewwww!
Lastly, ummm why don't women pluck their eyebrows? Seriously! if women would just ya know, do a little plucking, waxing, and trimming it would make a world of difference. I'm always up for looking like a woman and looking your hottest that you can, but last week I caught a glance at myself -sans makeup-.
When did that happen? Yeah all of a sudden or so it seemed my eyebrows had just about grown in completely. I set out to remedy the situation and do an overall status update of myself. I managed to take a pic of my eyebrows a few days later, also sans makeup. Once I zoomed in, I could tell that it still needs a little work, but aaaah- so much better.
I'm always one that asks, "didn't she look in the mirror before she left the house?" Apparently I hadn't, but I'm better now, and to top it all off I resisted the third slice of Papa John's candian bacon/pineapple goodness that I sooooo wanted tonight....

I'm sorry about the cold sore! Ouch! I know what it's like to have things on my face that I just don't want---case in point my 25 yro acne :( I'm sorry about the milk thing I wish I knew a magic solution that would help a momma produce the juice for these babes:)
ReplyDeleteI can feel your pain regardiing the cold-sores...they suck!! As a life-long fighter of cold sores, I can tell you that the very best things I've found are: an over-the-counter vitamin called L-lysine that you can get at Walmart for about $6/100 tablets - take one a day and they will keep the sores from coming back. The second thing is old-fashioned, non cherry flavored Carmex. Use it as preventative, but also the second you get that itchy/tingliing sensation that you will now recognize, take an L-Lysine tablet and slather carmex on. Unfortunately, now that you've had one, you'll be much more prone to futere occurances.
