| (I was going to write this post a long time ago, but am now just getting to it. It's okay because it still pertains.) AHHH! I hate winter! My skin is so itchy and scratchy. I am finding new ways to scratch and hit all the dry spots: circular motions on my fingers, a chair that hits the middle of my back, etc. But all of this seems to not work. I want to throw myself in a tub of lotion and just moisturize in it for a few days. I put lotion on and about a minute later my hands are dried up again. It's horrible that the one thing I get from my grandmother (besides the talent of touching my nose with my tongue) is this wretched dry skin of mine. AGH! :scratch scratch scratch: I feel like I am having spasms sometimes because I am itching so hard or can not get to a spot. My head, neck, ALL of my back, elbows, fingers, sides, stomach, legs, back of the knee, calves (they might be the 2nd worse), and even my toes are itchy and have dry skin. UGH!! I HATE WINTER!! Yes in the summer I still have dry skin, but the winter makes it SO much worse. :scratch: After I scratch one area, another becomes itchy. :scratch: At the beginning to mid winter I thought God didn't liek me because I went to France last winter and didn't have to deal with dry skin too much so he is making it 4x worse on me this winter. I never remember having itchy skin this bad. :itch: :scratch: But I know that's not true. I don't think all the lotions and moisturizers in the world could help me at my present state. :scratch: This is my current and long lasting problem. UGH! :itch itch: In other words, Chris and I (with my parents) are going to check out wedding reception sites on Saturday. We are checking out Holiday Inn and then Courtyard Mariott in Moorhead. We were going to check out Ramada too, but when I show Chris the site he decided he really wouldn't want to have the reception there. Cool, one less place to check out. This weekend, we talked alot about wedding. Tried on some dresses (still trying to find "the one"), talked about budget, reception sites, centerpieces, guests, some music selections, etc. I'm getting to the point that I have a pretty good picture in my head of what I want, but now I want to actually DO something and GET stuff done. Luckily, I got Chris to help out. I really want a 60/40% effort here with the wedding--that would be nice. But he did call the reception sites and set up the appointments. My next goal, is the have him all DJs and Limo Services to check out prices. Maybe I will have him do that next week. With me luck with the wedding and ESPECIALLY this Dang Dry Skin!!! |
