The Bug Bite


I was at Clay's parents house Sunday a few weeks ago and i look down on my leg to see this huge while spot. I figured it was a mosquito bite so I ignored it. Later it became red, the size of my palm and super raised, without my scratching it. Still no idea what it was. Next day it looked similar to the picture, but a bit more raised because I kept pressure on it and cold stuff. Benadryll didnt help, the medicine the doctor gave me did nothing, and it would not go down and it throbbed constantly! Little did I know that this mystery bug's bite would only go down with this Native American recipie for salve that my mother-in-laws mother makes. After two days it decreased it in size in half. Waited 3 days for it to go down by itsself, didnt happen. I put it on again and 4 days later it was gone. Strange but way cool.
(Its the large red spot)
2 weeks later, we're taking family pictures at the sand dunes, we get home, I see this huge red bump but now on my calf. Thank goodness for this salve.

The brown hair


So I've always wanted to dye my hair brown and one day I decided to be super tricky and do it right before a family reunion. And it was dark. Kristin did not like it. Many did but her lack of loving it still persisted. She would not wear it down because the dye looked weird and always looked not straight. It frustrated her. So next Wednesday in a pretty much hopeless attempt to make my hair look better I'm going to get highlights all over to try and "lighten" it because to turn it all back one color is A) really bad for your hair B) can make it fall out -says 4 hair places- and c) would be more money. SO goodluck to me for Wednesday, and the moral of the story is, when you get curious about hair colors, 1)make sure you get it done somewhere not with a box mix 2)be careful how light/dark you want to go 3) stop being curious and just dont do it. Its not work the pain of the new haircolor and the oney to fix it.

The Proposal

I have no idea how to do anything remotely fancy like my sister Camille with this blog but this movie The Proposal is such a funny movie! I was impressed with it and of course I loved the cheesy ending that was quite necessary. Luckily I was watching the movie at home and I could avoid Oscar from The Office http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/ giving Sandra Bullock her "special bridal shower" dance. But seriously, very cute movie, original (as far as a chick flick goes with the deportation thing) and as long as you have a fast forward button it rocks :)
