A Busy Year for My Son

I was just reflecting on 2011 for my 3 year old son, BJ. Man, a lot went down with him. But there were two major things:

1. We found out that he is allergic to pretty much EVERYTHING outside. 

I knew BJ had allergies since he was an infant because he was always and I mean always congested.  But because he was so small, the pediatrician was hesitant to have him tested. Well, in May of last year, I just couldn't bear to continue to see him suffer through ear infections, pink eye, infinite congestion and fevers anymore. So I bucked the system and took him to an allergist (so pleased with them, by the way). They could see right away that he was completely miserable. He was diagnosed with a sinus infection and the doctor said that he needed to be tested for allergies. After a variety of prescriptions they sent us on our way to return in a few weeks for a skin test... Ouch.

When we came back for the skin test visit, BJ was all happy go lucky because he actually likes going to the doctor....First they applied something to numb his arm and then wrapped it in saran wrap to really make it numb...

 As we waited for the numbing to take effect, they tried to distract him with toys...which worked.

Wordless Wednesday: Lunch

Besos, P&P.

Polish Change: 10 in Always and Forever (Yay, pink!)

Yesterday, I ran into CVS to pick up a spray bottle for my hair. Of course, I had to check out the polish to see if they had any on sale. To my surprise and delight, they had 10 polish on sale! I picked up a few of these polish at CVS before but never actually bought any (thought they were overpriced). Well, guess what? They had two really pretty colors on sale for 75% off!- a pink and a purple! Of course, I snatched them up!

I decided to try the pink first because I couldn't even remember the last time I rocked pink on my nails. Plus it's called "Always and Forever"- I love that song.

I must admit- I was impressed. The application was so easy I was literally caught off guard. Beyond just a little bit of streaking (which for 75% off I could deal with), it only took two coats to satisfy me! This is really a pretty pink and oh so girly. The real surprise was that it is not as demure as Revlon in Cotton Candy but a bit more edgy. This is pink that wants to be seen which you can't really tell by the bottle. Check out my pics:

Outside- natural light

Honestly, all day I've been looking at my nails...and they make me happy. Ahh, its the little things, isn't?... Like Luther singing...

My Work Day Turned Out To Be Margaritas for Lunch

I was scheduled to go back to work today. As I'm driving in this morning, there was literally NO ONE on the road but me. When I got to work to see the parking lot look like this:

I was convinced that we were the only people in Atlanta going into the office today. 

But when I got there, someone was already there so I guess I didn't have the wrong day. But I did ask her, why we were at work when everyone else was clearly still in bed. LOL.

When my boss arrived, she realized that today was, in fact, the holiday and told us to go home. My boss, a co-worker and I decided to go have lunch at Uncle Julio's on Peachtree. And we each had a celebratory margarita for 2012. Peep the polish (you know I try to keep them fly too):

That's my thumb! ;-)

Cute, right? My co worker (middle) is actually rocking Rimmel London in Steel Gray which I bought her for Christmas teeheehee. I love it when a plan comes together...Besos, P&P.
