You gotta be K I D D I N G me...

I know this sounds stupid...

I know it should be NO big deal... but....
(me - making my S A D face..)

yesterday after MONTHS of waiting..
I hit the big 150... (followers that is...)

I was doing my happy dance... whoo hoo... Why does it matter? I dunno...it just does...
(thanks RennyBA for pushing me out of my 140's where I have been lingering
F O R E V E R)
So what happens when I log on this morning? (take a guess...look to your left)

Maaaaaan! OK, who stopped loving me last night?
forgetaboutit
SO now I am walking around with a sad pathetic look on my face... to make things worse
I have something the size of a golfball tumor on the side of my face.... & my kids & HUSBAND are taunting me with the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger
"its not a TUUU-MAR" (my family can be pretty ROTTEN at times)

Did I mention I have a very important meeting with Clinique next week? um, ya.. as in the cosmetic/skin care Clinique?


NIIIIIICE... you only have one chance to make a first impression... & me with my zit the size of Cleveland on the side of my cheek....

***sigh***
Its 10 am here...is it too early to have a glass of wine? - I know... the things some of us have to endure...

OK I am off to make a Pumpkin Piñata over at the wonderful, beautiful, zit free Carolines


Lets hope her children don't know the " its not a tumor" line... although I am sure my adorable loving babies will clue them in on it pretty fast...

OH P.S. any Norwegian bloggers out there...please stop by Renny's & pick up this little diddy...




Hint Hint... since I KNOW all of my Scandinavian "sistas" are coming up-over for the shin dig... y'all feel free to pass the word along as well OK ? THANKS!

Wish me luck with my Piñata...

Can you get to a dermatologist for a cortisone injection in the zit? Desperate times call for desperate measures!

What's with the Clinque meet? Sounds intriguing...

Plain white toothpaste - a dab on that sucker every night until the meeting.

That should do the trick, and it will at least give your loving family another reason to make fun of you ;-)

And don't fret over the one up, one down follower thing - it's that widget issue. At least that's what I tell myself every time I lose another one.

There was an old cure for huge zits, called Preperation H.
It's supposed to shrink different tissues located in other places, but it might work?

Haven't you seen The Big Fat Greek wedding movie? The solution? Windex of course :-)

And for the followers...my fluctuate. Wildly at times. Right now you are at 151. I think sometimes it's a blogger quirk. At least I like to think that rather than someone saying yuck...don't wanna read that blog anymore!

Tressa,

I know this sounds crazy, but toothpaste will kill off the zit. It really does work! Just put a dab on before bed, and it will be gone by morning. It doesn't matter what color toothpaste, or if it's gel or paste.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
