I also want to wish my little baby brother a very happy birthday yesterday! Well, I guess he's neither little or a baby anymore, I mean just look at him. He's 17 and a total gentleman-do you see how gorgeous his Homecoming date was? Not only did he take this beautiful girl, but he made sure to get on Facebook and tell everyone that if they hadn't taken her then they didn't have the best date there-so sweet! He's really the only 17 year old little brother who makes sure you know he loves you and that he always gets a hug from his big sister. I love that kid.

This weekend was forcibly laid back. Last week was a mess... There was a bed bug scare (I came into contact with blankets used by someone who may have had bed bugs/scabies-gross!) which made me take the day off from work to get all checked out from the doctor and clean every bit of bedding/laundry in my house to make sure nothing followed me home. Thankfully it appears I'm in the clear, but better safe than sorry on that one! Then I woke up the next day with a massive head cold which made it so I had to cancel plans to go to a party Friday night, and dancing plans for Saturday. So I spent Friday night curled up on the couch watching Desperate Housewives, and Saturday cleaning my bedroom... Well in between wanting to just sit down and veg-so I didn't get much done.
I did go out Saturday night to Taqueria 27 with Josh, Meggy, and Julie-I hadn't seen Meggy or Julie in a long time so I figured I'd get dinner with them, and then part ways as they went dancing and I went home to rest.
Sunday morning Josh and I trekked out to the far east side of Sandy to try a diner called The Black Bear diner, which we'd heard good things about. It's apparently very popular and all over in California. They had really tasty Sweet Cream Pancakes and good bacon! And their menus are in newspapers with stories from the 50s. It was pretty neat.

On another note, I'm happy to report that Ricki-Jill's suggestion of using Cetaphil as my only face cleanswer worked wonders. There's such a difference in my skin-it's still not the best, but so much clearer and not nearly as many little red bumps on my cheeks. I've been getting away with just BBCream and Powder, which I dig. Also letting my curls go pretty natural, just some cream to control frizz.
Don't forget there's only 1 week left to take $10 off any holiday ad with code: EARLYBIRD
