First of all - Happy Birthday to all our January gals - I have been absent alot and know I missed wishing each & everyone of you - - cheers for another year!!!
It has been a very busy January (aren't they all) can you believe we're almost to the end of this month . . where the heck does time go?? Received an email from Ds - he's doing well - training & getting ready for his mid-February deployment - he did get a 4-day pass before he deploys so we are all looking forward to that time. His wife - my ddil gave me a Blue Star necklace for Christmas . . . it's for family members who have soldiers deployed - - it was very thoughtful of her and, of course, I wear it constantly - along with the gold cross my Dd gave me 15 years ago (again - where does time go??). There's also Blue Star Mom's chapters and since one is about 15 miles from me - Ds suggested I go . . his comment was "not so much for you, Mom, but for the encouragement & support you can give" quite a compliment as he's been raised with the "glass is always half full" philosophy.
Weather has turned cool again (won't say cold as I know my cybersisters up north are still in the throes of winter - but this Texan gets a bit chilled when the temps go below 50 :)
I ran to the doctor yesterday - I had allergic reaction to eye shadow - have always used that brand and the shade but I'm wondering if they changed the formula (like they do with hair coloring) because my eyes decided to be circled with bright red spots . . wherever the light shadow had been - the red remained. I looked like a racoon with red circles instead of black :( Thank heavens they could fit me in as I was a itchy mess when she saw me . . gave me a 'high powered' benedryl and a tube of cortisone ointment. Today I look like a racoon with pink circles and the swelling is down - - Dh says I look much better. Why do manufacturers see the need to change their formulas . . if it ain't broke - why fix it??? So - I've scratched that "trio" shade off my list of uses.
Well - gotta get back to my Saturday stuff - - laundry, vacuming, etc. Have a wonderful weekend!! :) mc

Hi MC
The month has gone by quicky. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I am so glad you will get to see you Ds again before he leaves. I will be keeping him in my prayers while he is over there.
It has been so pretty here in AZ but we are suppose to get cooler starting tomrrow.
I to have been sweeping, dusting at least a little bit. With they reconstuction under way here it is really hard to get things cleaned up. At least the hardwood floors are done now. wall repair and paint next week and then cleaning carpets and tile.Gave the dogs a bath they were both pretty stinky and with it cooling down again wanted to get that done today.
Terrible about the rash but glad you were able to get into see the Dr quickly. I too wish the makeup companies would stop messng with eye shadows. I had problems with one of my favorites a couple of months ago. Nothing like you but enough to know I had to stop using one of my favorites.
Enjoy the rest of you weekend.
Love ya
Sorry that the make up did that to you... I have had that happen and it is not pleasant at all!
