Leavin' on a Jet Plane

As the title says, we're leaving tomorrow afternoon for Utah. I'm very excited, mostly because Sean hasn't been home since May of 2008 and cannot wait to be there. We're spending his birthday and Christmas there, and seeing him happy makes me happy. I can't wait to see my in-laws, but I'm a little anxious about all of this snow I keep hearing about. I've never seen this much snow in my life, all combined, but with my trusty and stylish new coat, I'm sure I'll survive and thrive in the arctic weather.

I don't have much to say. I mostly wanted to use this blog as a vehicle to show pictures of the botched eye brow wax mentioned in my recent status on Facebook. Here's the story: my skin has been drier than usual due to the colder weather added to multiple topical and oral medications I'm taking for my skin. I should have know better than to go ahead and get my eye brows waxed - I was even wary of doing it! But I did it anyway. Aaaaaaand here's what I got for it:
The first one really shows how the skin was ripped away. Effin' ouch.


This one shows the swelling really well. And it stayed this swollen through this morning.


I look like Rhianna in her Chris Brown photos. Too much? Yeah. Sean took care of me and put triple antibiotic ointment on it, and it's feeling much better now. I avoided going out last night and this morning so there would be no dirty looks directed at me or Sean.

Anyway, I'll be avoiding this treatment again until I visit my dermatologist and get my skin care routine straightened out. I never ever want to experience this again.

I probably won't post again until after our vacation, so I hope you all have a very happy and safe Christmas.
