Amy Currioman

This morning I woke up at 4am for no apparent reason and couldn’t go back to sleep!  So I decided to get up and shower and play with my new make-up.  I had bought some liquid eye-liner (I’ve never used eye-liner before) and wanted to experiment with it.  I also bought some mascara that claimed it will curl your eyelashes for you, and wanted to give that a try.  I hate using an eyelash curler!  For some crazy reason when I use it to curl the lashes on my left eye it pinches some kind of nerve that shoots incredible pain down into my lip!  So anyway, I did not do very well with the eye-liner!  I think I’ll have to try a pencil type in the future.  And as for curling my lashes…. well, it seemed to curl them a little bit but not very much.  So I’m a little disappointed, but I’ll try again some time!

I realized today that it has been three years since I’ve worn make-up! That is a really long time! My Red Hat ladies club has decided to get all gussied up and go out to eat at a fancy restaurant next month, and I decided that I’d like to wear some make-up to the dinner. Well, all of my old make-up is dried up and no good now, so this morning I went out to Rite-Aid and bought a lot of new make-up. They were having a BOGO sale on Maybelline products, and Rite Aid has a policy that if you make a mistake and don’t like the make-up, you can return it. So I figured, what have I got to lose? I bought a lot of stuff there; I hope I like it! But if I don’t like it, I know I can return it and get my money back! How cool is that!

I have to admit that I’m a jewelry junkie.  I love the sparkle and shine!  My hubby thinks I have way too much jewelry, but I disagree, of course!  There are some outfits that I wear that just don’t have the right jewelry to match in my jewelry box. I think that maybe one of the reasons that my hubby thinks that I have too much jewelry is the fact that I have kept every piece of jewelry I ever owned ever since I was a little girl.  I had hoped to have a daughter to give it to when she was going to play “dress up.”  Of course, that never happened; I only had sons!

But now I’m hoping that maybe someday I’ll have a young niece or some grand-daughters come along and play with my inexpensive jewelry some day.  And of course, I keep the older and broken pieces around just in case I need them for a craft project of some type!  It would be cute to decorate a miniature Christmas tree with the broken pieces!  When I look through my collection of jewelry, I see a lot of broken watches that I wish I had been able to use.  It seems that I am one of those strange people that can’t wear most watches – they stop running very quickly.  I used to think that I was over-winding them, but it even happens with the battery run watches!  Maybe I should buy a watch that comes on a necklace chain!

Well, I did go to the doctor yesterday, and he said that it doesn’t look like strep throat, but he gave me antibiotic to take that I’ve never heard of before.  It’s called Biaxin.  He told me to take it with food, but when I picked it up the directions on the bottle said to take it on an empty stomach if tolerated.  Well, last night I took it at supper-time, and went to bed shortly afterwards.  I was really tired!  This morning I forgot to take it until around 10am, and so I took it then on an empty stomach.  Here it is, about 30 minutes later and I’m feeling rather sick to my stomach!  I wish I’d eaten something first!  I just ate some toast, I hope that helps!

I was unusually tired last night, so I went to bed early – about 6:30pm!  I woke up a few times during the night and realized that my throat was starting to feel sore.  Well, I don’t think it was low humidity and mouth breathing because my mouth wasn’t dry!  When I got up at 4am this morning (yes, 4am – I am a morning person!) my throat was really sore!  So I’ve called the doctor’s office and they are going to see me in a short while.  I sure hope it isn’t strep throat!  But if it IS strep throat, I hope we caught it in time before it really gets bad!
