I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours.
I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed.
Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For years I've had these tiny white bumps come and go on my face. They're not that noticeable, but they bother me. This is what I get for years and years of running, being out in the sun and not taking care of my skin. I found out they are called milia - small white bumps that form on the face when dead skin cells get trapped beneath the skin's surface, forming small, hard cysts as a result.
Most research says that the best treatment is to leave them alone. But I've been doing that and it's not working. So I made an appointment for a deep cleansing facial. I got there and found out the overbooked me. They couldn't see me for another hour, but I got a free manicure while I waited. Score. And of course they tried to talk me into more expensive things. But I was not ready to spend $165 on a microdermabrasion facial. Anywho. It was nice and relaxing but hardly got rid of any of the bumps. Apparently it would take several sessions for them to clear. Umm, no. So maybe I'll just find a good exfoliator and go actually go to a dermatologist for help.
So what else did I do this weekend? Not much. There was a lot of reading, some working and I finally turned on my heat.
And now we're 40 days away from race day. Busy, busy, busy.

Do you have a clarisonic? Mine works wonders and is well worth the money. My dermatologist recommended I continue to use it while I use my "count em 3" zit creams and one gel for wrinkles. Isn't life grand when you get to deal with acne and wrinkles! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't, but was thinking I should have bought one of those instead of getting the facial! My sister just got one a month or so ago and loves it so far.
