Sunglasses Are My Friend...


Guess who feels beautiful again!?

My eye is back to normal, THANK GOODNESS!

And NO, I won't post the picture...mostly because I can't find the camera cable, my ipod cable, the video camera cable and my cell recharge cable (and blue tooth earpiece and instruction book, which I now need to learn to use, thanks to the new law). We are in the land of lost cables. I keep reading the labels on the boxes hoping one will say:

ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED ARE IN HERE.

Anywhoo, my eye was nice and puffy thanks to a nasty mosquito bite. I am kind of allergic to mosquito bites. I mean, EVERYONE is allergic to mosquito bites, we all get some sort of allergic reaction, but mine is quite significant. I'm talking an inch wide lump of redness, not to mention itchiness. AND, they last almost 3 weeks. Yep, allergic. I have close to 10 mosquito bites at the moment, which I gladly show anyone, expect for the one on the side of my abdomen. That requires flashing a white expanse of belly that should be hidden.

The eye swelling did go down quite a bit, and is gone now. My sunglasses got a lot of action. I decided it is not rude to talk to people with your sunglasses on when you have major eye troubles.

Do you take your sunglasses off to talk to people? Keeping them on while talking to people makes me feel like I am hiding something or have the ability to be fake. So I usually take them off to talk to someone, except if I know the person really well, or if I am laying out on the beach. Which in that case means that I get wicked raccoon tan lines.

Thank goodness for sunless tanning cream and bronzing powder!

  1. Yeah, I'm looking for my very own box that says "EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN HERE" (namely, the curtains that will shield us from view after dark.)

  2. Hope you find all of your cables soon!

    My son has a terrible reaction to mosquito bites too. His eye was swollen completely shut for 4 days once when he was 2. It was horrible.

    Glad to hear it's getting better :)

  3. No I usually don't take my sunglasses off...but I never thought it rude until now! ;) You have opened my eyes! I probably won't change though, b/c I REALLY like my sunglasses. :)

  4. I have the same reaction to mos. bites. They turn into these horrendous welts that are SUPER attractive! :) Re: sunglasses...if I'm outdoors, I leave them on. Had it happen once I was wearing my prescription sunglasses and forgot to switch to my real glasses before going into the mall to return something. Had to leave the sunglasses on, in the mall, to see where I was going and all the while talking to the clerk. Felt like such an idiot! :)

  5. Sunglasses can hide many problems LOL. After a night up with the Triplets sunglasses can make me look fantastic when going out in public. i'm glad your eye is better. what a pain to be so allergic to mosquitos!

  6. Still laughing after reading the previous Eye post again! I abhore mosquito bites because mine become jumbo-sized too. I got my first one yesterday -- it's right below the back of my neck area, so it's gross when I put my hair up :(

  7. I think it's rude when people leave them on and don't NEED them. But I'm not a big wearer of sunglasses.

    Yay for your eye being better!

  8. Oh my goodness. I'm glad it's better. Who knew that a bite could do such crazy stuff to your eye?

    How have you been feeling? Hopefully less tired! :)
