• Where does the time go???

  I promised myself that I would write more and here it is in February and I have barely written anything. Time has flown by and I still can't believe that I have to write 2010 as the year. January was jammed packed with wedding errands. My future husband (weird to write that) has turned into a groomzilla! Normally, I am the bossy one and I thought I would be the bridezilla but alas, he has an opinion on EVERYTHING. This includes the food, flowers, ceremony site, reception site, etc etc etc. It's making me want to tear out my hair, seriously. To compromise, he's gave me a choice of my top 3 that I can have no matter the price. I have ultimate last say. I choose the ceremony site, photographer, and my wedding dress. So far, I think we've got the major stuff done but I still can't believe that we're getting married in 8 months. Eep! I'm starting to hyperventilate just writing that!

  Onto non wedding news, I think I've been hexed!

  Last Thursday my brother had surgery and I took off Thursday and Friday to spend time with the family. As if that wasn't stressed or busy enough, I decided to treat myself with a new face wash, Neutrogena Grapefruit face wash to be exact. Ummm, little did I know that I would end up getting an allergic reaction to it. My entire face turned red and began to peel, and is still peeling over a week later. It looks like patches of red and brown and itches like crazy. I feel like that guy from the Fly where he peels his skin off bit by bit, or even Stewie peeling his skin off. Gross! Just call me Patchy! Besides my face peeling, I learned that your ears can peel too. Nice! I have to put lotion on it every half hour to try to stop my face from turning into leather. That happened on Thursday and on Friday I went to my friends house, not realizing the extent of the allergic reaction from the face wash. My friend has a cat and I learned after the visit that I am allergic to cats. How did I know? My red splotchy face (from the face wash) had HIVES all over it and my arms from the cat. GREAT! Two allergic reactions in a 48 hour period. Just shoot me.

  When Sunday rolled around, I got my period (Thanks Mother Nature) and spent the week trying to get through work. This Thursday, I've got horrible flu like symptoms and barely get through work Friday. Today, I've spent 10+ hours in bed sleeping. It's shaping up to a great week because I think half my face has molted and only another half to go!

  Take it from me, don't try any new face wash without testing a TINY dab first. If I posted a picture of what I look like now, I would scare the crap out of you.

  There, I've vented and hopefully given you some good advice!

  Reyrey - WILL call you! So crazy this week.
