Recently and not so recently I have been getting a few comments on my wrist. Sometimes, someone will be like "Oh no, how did you get that bruise" other times it is "What's that on your wrist..". So here is the story I have this "thing" on my wrist. I can trace it back to a trip we took to New Orleans. I bought a rope bracelet there. You know the kind that means something and you're not supposed to take it off, it falls off. You following me? So anyway, years passed the thing has fallen off and there is still a marking. My theory has always been that it has to do with some New Orleans magical power or something. Truth is I've gotten used to it so I am always suprised when someone asks about it.
Enough is enough. I've finally decided to do some experiments and testing to see what it is and to see if my theory is right. So I took it to the "advice group" at work I always use. The smokers. Stay with me, it makes sense. I don't smoke but I can count on them for the following. They are always there (the DSS) and there is usually a mix of folks, and they take their time discussing things, no one is in a hurry to finish the cig. So the group was spilt half and half between dry skin and some bacterial infection (I believe someone got on their phone and did some WebMD magic but it was inconclusive).
So..I've decided to start treatment. I bought some expensive (I think it was 6 bucks) lotion and asked Rhino to pick me up some bacterial cream at the store. C'mon before you go ewww we've been together for 10 years and he has been on the wrist adventure this whole time, it's only fair to let him join in. So get this...he comes home with jock itch topical cream. Before I can go into how this can not be right, he states very matter of factly that it says "antifungal cream". HA, I say so you think it's a fungus. To which he responds you told me to get cream I got cream now you're mad at me cos you may have fungus. Seeing as neither of us are going to win this battle we just laugh it off. Long story short, I've been using the jock itch, expect Thanksgiving, I was prepping food people, I'm not a monster. And I think that mixed with my expensive 6 dollar lotion there is progress. It's too soon to say I am on the mend but hope has been restored. I can't wait to show all the smokers at work tomorrow.

10 random things while I make a playlist.
1. I love to sing out loud at the top of my lungs. Right now it's Florence Welch but I like to mix some Chan Marshall and Jenny Lewis in. Stuart Murdoch is the only male I sing along to. I think it has to do with my theory that he is the "male" me. Freud party of two....
2. I am an ENFJ and as far as personality tests go I take that crap very seriously. I do admit I was suprised to get an E (extraversion) but even the facilitator laughed when I mentioned it and she knew me for a total of 3 hours. N and F are spot on. J well let's just say I make lists to make lists. I enjoy organization but I realize I've been at different stages of OCD in my life and I am continuously working on that.
3. I hate grammer but have a secret desire to be good at it. Truth is I have a really horrible memory and have years blocked out. So when I say I really don't remember learning that, I'm not being a smart ass.
4. My husband is an amazing human being and I'm not just saying that because he is my husband BUT because he is a good man.
5. I have an addictive personality but I am also pretty laxed. It's the most ridiculous combination ever. Both things have been bad news for me at certain times in life.
6. I am obsessed with the Bronte family and hope to write a biography on Emily Bronte. I dream about going to England and starting my research.
7. I love stationary, seriously it's an ADDICTION. I spend an afternoon one Saturday a month and do correspondence. I even found some wax stamps online and ran around the house all excited. My pen pal (high school friend Patty) and I write letters to each other all the time. Sometimes, they make total sense and are just your average letters, other times they are from another time or are stories we made up. It always makes my day when I come home to a letter.
8. I believe that people can change/evolve. It's the letting them in our minds that's the hard party. I am guilty of this.
9. I am wary of people that dogs and kids don't like.
10. I realize this mix has a lot of Bruno Mars. I like him. Lol. Go ahead and judge.
