year-end wrap-up

   Posted by: arcanai    in Nuthin' Special

huge two month whirlwind.  ironman, Jamaica, thanksgiving in Alabama, cruise, Christmas in Orlando…  it was exhausting.  we had two great vacations that were wonderfully relaxing but I definitely don’t want to do that again.  holiday time vacations add to holiday stress.  my Christmas shopping didn’t get finished until the last minute (unless you count shopping for our local friends which didn’t happen until this weekend) and I never got to make any Christmas cookies.  not that i’m complaining… like I said, fabulous vacations and really nice holiday visits with family.  sadly, my nephew decided his gift to me was the flu so now i’m lying in bed, freezing to death, and feeling like all of santa’s reindeers just trampled over my body.  here’s hoping i’m feeling better by Tuesday so that I can ring in the new year bowling with our friends.

for those curious about my lips… i hate them.  quitting chapstick (carmex) was a terrible decision.  it is completely not worthwhile.  it’s been almost three months and my lips continue to get sloughy.  they are never soft and smooth.  at least when i was slathering them with carmex eighty times a day, they were always kissable.  now they just annoy the tar out of me.  i’m probably going to get some of the burt’s bees crap or something that they consider to be “good” for your lips and start using it.  being a non-user is just not worth it.
