A special birthday

by

It’s my nephews birthday next week. He’s turning 21!

I think my in-laws are having a birthday party for him on Sunday at their house.

I bought a gift for him online and I was hoping that it would have arrived by today … but it should arrive by tomorrow. I hope! I know he’s going to like it. It’s a new iPod.

One thing that was kind of cool was that when I made my purchase I received some aj madison coupons. I thought that was a nice deal. Now I’ll have to find something to use them on.

I was kind of surprised when I realized how old my nephew was going to be. You see, my sister in law was about 3 months pregnant with him when I my husband and I first started seeing each other. So I guess that means that we’ve been together for close to 22 years! Wow that sounds like a long time doesn’t it?

Anyway a 21st birthday is pretty special, so hopefully he’ll enjoy his birthday.





Checking out some of this weeks new TV shows

by

My husband and I are home tonight – after eating a big, homemade dinner, we’re now furiously trying to catch up on many of the new and returning TV shows that have been playing this week.

We just finished watching The Event. I have to say I wasn’t all that intrigued by the show. It kind of reminded me of last years Flash Forward – a show that I really liked … but not as good. Maybe I’ll like the next episode better.

Now we’re watching Criminal Minds. We both really enjoy this show. I almost wish this show was on year round. So far the first episode is living up to my expectations.

Our PVR is pretty full so we’re speeding through the commercials and trying to watch as many shows as we can tonight. I think we’ll be watching TV until midnight tonight.

When we finally give up on watching TV I’m starting a new skin care routine .. well I sort of started it last night with an at home facial. I’m going back to deep cleaning my skin at night and then putting on a face cream before bed. Gotta take care of my skin.

Anyway .. are you watching some of the new TV shows this week? Which ones have you watched? Do you like any of them?

Where the heck is my husband

by

Sigh … I’m still waiting for my husband to come home. He’s been out of town all day. It’s just about 10:30 and he should be home by now.

In an earlier post I mentioned that I’m taping all the returning TV shows on our PVR this week and well … it’s filling up quickly! It’s almost at 80% right now. This is not good.

I did try to watch a few shows that I didn’t think he’d be interested in watching, but I’ve run out of those now.

While I’ve been waiting for him to return I went up stairs and took care of my skin. I gave myself a facial – i did a facial mask and a deep moisturizing cleanser and then followed it up with under eye cream and moisturizer.

I’m all set for the night … I just need my husband to get home. Where the heck is he?

Skin troubles?

by

My skin has been breaking out more often lately. I’m not sure what’s going on.

I’ve always had very clear skin and I didn’t have to use too many products to maintain my skin. However, just in the last month or so I’ve noticed that my skin is breaking out more often.

I started a new medication in August for my Migraines. It’s an anti-convulsive. Acne is listed as one of the infrequent side effects … perhaps that’s what’s going on? Either that or it’s hormones.

Anyway, it’s not too bad yet, but I want to try to get the blemishes under control before things get worse. Maybe later I’ll do a little research into what kind of acne treatment might suit my skin. I have very sensitive skin so I need to use products that are gentle on my skin – that’s anything from soaps, cleansers, to cosmetics.

Any suggestions?

On my own for the day

by

My husband is out of town today. Normally he has Monday’s off, but this week, he changed shifts with someone at work and he ended up having today off.

As it happens that worked out well for him, because on Sunday evening we found out that a close friend of ours father had passed away. The visitation and funeral is out of town … in my husbands home town, so early this morning he got his things together and drove out of town for the day.

I didn’t go with him because I haven’t been feeling very well for the last week or so. I’ve had awful abdominal pain .. maybe yet another Crohn’s flare. Although oddly enough I’m feeling a little bit better today (hopefully that continues!). He went early so that he could see his parents and he had to go over to his aunts. We’re storing our pop up trailer on her property and she didn’t like where it was parked so he had to move it to the back of her yard.

Anyway … because of all the phone calls last night making arrangements for todays trip our PVR is pretty full! All the new and returning TV shows started again last night and we didn’t get a chance to watch very many of the ones we taped. We only watched House, Chuck and Weeds (from Sunday night). Tonight I’m taping a bunch of shows and I don’t think my husband will be home until 10:30 or later. I’ll probably watch a few shows that I don’t think he’ll be that interested in … but I think our PVR will be at about 90% by the time he gets home! LOL So early in the TV season and it will already be full. Oh boy.

So I guess tonight I’m eating alone, walking the dog on my own, and spending most of the evening on my own too. Sigh … Oh well .. at least this trip out of town should cut out the trip we were planning for this coming weekend to take care of the trailer.

When Chris does get home I’m going to try some acnepril. I’ve been breaking out lately so I figure this is worth a try. I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks if it’s helping.

Ok … off to feed the dog!
