ho ho ho!

Lip update: Itchyness continues with little abatement. I think I may have to physically remove them from my face. I feel I ought to note that I have tried scratching my lips with my fingers and it is a very uncomfortable and awkward feeling. If you ask me probably you shouldn't try. Probably you should just stick to Chapstick.

While still itching abominably, they've entered a new phase of grossness: peely little pieces of dead skin detaching and staying stuck to my lips from the excess of Chapstick goo. J frequently looks and at me and says, "Gross...go fix your lips again." Okay...to give him credit, he's very nice about it. He just has a hard time looking at me ;-)

Christmas is coming. We put up our window clings today while giggling like little children. J adores Christmas and the feeling is contagious. He went out shopping for presents for me while I took my nap today (the suspense is already killing me) and came home with not only whatever it ended up being, but also these adorable little Pillsbury dough boy ornaments for me. He's so cute! Also we now have our first box of candy canes of the season. Ho ho ho!

itchy lips of doom

My lips itch. So bad. It's not my fault, I just woke up the other day and BAM! itchy. Overnight my lips went from normal human lips, to scaly, peely, itchy lips of doom. They are bright red and I want to scratch them. I want to scratch my huge lips. Boy do they feel big. The mirror says they are normal size but they feel like large puffy Angelina Jolie lips. I have used almost an entire tube of Blistex in 3 days. J and I went shopping for more chapstick today. I have three more tubes ready to use, because, to use my favorite Napoleon Dynamite quote:

My lips hurt real bad.
