It's me, Charity

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...

 It's Valentine's Day week! I can't remember if I posted this before, but I made a quick little Valentine craft for the studio. Little hearts with all of my students names!  Technically this was last week, but whatever. On Friday afternoon I went to a new Dermatologist, it had been several years since I had last saw one and knew I needed to get checked out.

Years of trying to be a different color than what God made me, not great for the skin! He mentioned that he had a lightening/bleach spray that he could do. And he would do a trial of it there and if i liked the results I could make an apt to come back for another one. Sure why not! SWEET.MERCY. It HURT! He sprayed it on my face and it felt like he was cutting out the spot with the world's biggest knife. Pain. Serious pain. I get home and realized that my face and the spot is starting to puf...

Today I found out the hard way that my lips are allergic to nickel. (just like my ears) I was wearing a big butterfly, long chained pendant that Katie got me. Really cute and looked adorable with my flowered shirt, but I digress. I have this bad habit of playing with my necklace when I'm thinking at work, and I APPARENTLY put it on my lips often. By the time I came home I realized that my lips kind of hurt, and wow, they are pretty red. Fast Forward to about 2 1/2 hours later. MY lips are throbbing and burning so bad its not even funny. I look like the lovechild of octomom and angelina jolie.. Please, if you see me playing with my necklace, STOP ME!!
