okay, well, long story short, it turns out that i seem to have some alergy issues. pretty funny if you ask me. a couple weeks ago i switched brands of makeup and sure enough, aparently my face doesn't care for it. so, i woke up sunday morning face swollen and still had the zorro rash and i headed over to the clinic to see what i could find out.

the nurse walks in and says, "what brings you in." i point to my face and say, "i don't normally look like this." she said, "i didn't think so but it's safer to ask." ouch.

then the doctor walks in and says, "wow, that's not good." again, ouch. asked me if i switched makeup recently, i said yes, he said, "return it." he then says, "okay, well, i'll give you a shot and we'll put you on some steroids and it clear up by tomorrow." so, he leaves the room and i start trying to talk myself off the cliff of having to get a shot. i don't handle needles very well. so, he walks back into the room and says, "okay, which side would you like it in?" to which i replied, "we're talkin arms right? which arm?" he looked at me and laughed, "nope." aprently the shot is so painful that it has to go into the area right above your butt cheek. not pleasant, friends.

so he says, "okay this will probably hurt a little" i feel the initial pinch and then nothing, i'm thinking i'm getting pretty good at this and then he says, "just so you know, this is a large amount so it's going to hurt worse in a few minutes." no kidding. for the next hour and a half it felt like a midget was running up behind me and punching me repeatedly in the lower back. people probably thought i had serious spasm issues. it was entertaining to say the least.

so, one painful shot, a pack of steroids and a lot of benadryl later... i'm better. we're back to normal and things are well in the world again... well, at least they are well again in south orange county.

in the mean time, here are a couple more pictures from the concert. i didn't realize how long my hair is. crazy!
