seriously.....

I am trying to cut costs and be frugal during this difficult economic time. Seriously....this sucks.
I think I may have learned my lesson for reals this time. ( I love to say for reals)
Local friends and family ...Michelle and Adam and Christine and their traumatized children may remember the "Quasimodo" eye I was sporting a couple of months back. IT started to swell my whole side of my face...so I went to the Urgent Care...or the clinic as us Canadians say....got meds and it got better the next day. The Dr. wasn't sure if it was a bug bite...cause there was a little red dot above my brow...or if I had an allergic reaction to some cheap dollar store eye shadow I tried the day before...or if it was an infection.
So....anyway....my eyeliner ran out. Years ago...I used Elizabeth Arden eyeliner only.....and then we had kids....cut costs...whatever....I found a cover girl one that was 7- 10$ that worked great...and they discontinued it.....I have been successfully using some 9$ one from Maybelline i think. I stooped to the dollar store level and bought some eyeliner there the other day and used it yesterday.
Today - I am Quasi again!!!!! So ugly...I can't even go to Church. So, here I sit at the computer....realizing that my initial thought of......hey!...I'll scrapbbok for 3 hours!.....doing down the tubes....I can't even see out of that eye and it is starting to hurt. so sad. so ugly.

Okay, I am so going to ULTA today. No more germ infested eye liner okay! Stay inside, relax, and I'll be there soon with a replacement, okay?

That is sweet of Christine.
I'm sorry about your eye. Your pretty sure it is the eye liner then? Hope you get better soon.

You're beautiful even with a quasi eye!

Lol sounds like you need to stay away from that eyeliner, I don't think it's even worth a dollar if it's causing a reaction to your eye! Nice of your sister nlaw to get you some!
