The GOOD, the BAD, the ITCHY, and the UGLY

Why is it that Mon-Thurs, I feel like I have to go to bed early? Like I literally can't function in the mornings and if I go to bed after 11, I feel horrible the next day? Then, come Friday night.....I'm ready to crash, but instead, I spend time pinteresting it up and reading blogs until 1 or 2 in the morning??? Is it because I know I can sleep in and enjoy my own personal rebellion with no responsibility? Quite honestly....it's stupid. But....here it is, 12:53 and I'm blogging. Wow, I am so cool.

So, I'll fill y'all in with my most interesting life right now...NOT! Haha....basically, last night I fixed a really simple casserole "esque" meal which involved Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, chicken breasts, red pepper, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Anyhow, a few hours after dinner, I started itching really bad all over my body. As far as I know, I am not allergic to anything I had for dinner. Then, I took a hot shower when I woke up before work and itched all day....kind of strange. Moving on, I had eggs and bacon for breakfast and nothing for lunch. I drank two water bottles today and then had thai food tonight. Nothing sketchy....just some rice and cut up chicken with coconut sauce and mashed peanuts. I am itching all over again. On our way home, we stopped to get me the Aveeno Oatmeal bath stuff. I took a bath in that and am feeling A LOT of relief. What the heck, though? I have never had an allergic reaction to ANY of the foods that I have eaten in the last 24 hours. Josh thought it would be a good idea to change the sheets from last night, so we changed those before I took the bath. I'll be curious to see how I feel tomorrow. It's just so strange to me. Anyone else have this problem or any clue as to what in the world happened to me? I'm sort of at a loss....and tired of itching. I'm trying not to scratch, but I'm scratching a little to get by. My friend Ashley said it could be that my skin is just dry from being in Vermont/Boston this past week since it was freezing cold....but....I have been in very cold situations before. I don't itch all over with little mini rashes. So strange.

Ok, enough about that. So, I participated in a cool blog swap this past month, but my partner and I were slammed with stuff to do, so we ended up gifting to each other a little later then the deadline. You can check out The Crowley Party Blog here where I got wind of the exchange!

So, I got paired with Dayna over at Pearls, Curls & All Things Southern...Tales of a Bama Belle!!! :)
Go check out Danya's blog before continuing to read! So anyhow, I received Dayna's SWEET SWEET gift in the mail when I got back from Vermont this week. It was an awesome gift to come home to. Come to think of it....I would like gifts waiting at my house whenever I come home from a trip from now on. Makes coming home not so bad :) Ha! Here are a few shots of the awesome goodies she got me! PS-The dinner I made last night came from this cookbook she sent! Dayna is so thoughtful, and what I thought was so cute was that she took into consideration that I am a working newlywed and got me some things that she thought I could really use/enjoy!

Dayna knows I'm a Gator and that Josh is all about the Tide. She got me this cute Tumblr in pink to try and convert me!

How sweet and thoughtful was this gift??? Seriously? It is awesome!!!

Have any of you ever participated in a blog gift swap? It's pretty fun! :)
With that said, I am trying to tackle a project tomorrow...........drumroll, please.........
I am going to attempt to clean our "junk" room. Don't worry....I will post pics. I am not going to be the blogger who makes you think I have this sick awesome life by only posting the good. I will post the ugly too.....which will be these nasty skank pictures of this room with clothes all over the floor, miscellaneous furniture, receipts, paperwork, jewelry trees, tupperwares and let's face it....CRAP EVERYWHERE! Everyone has one of these rooms.....right? ;)

Ok, and let me get to the REAL reason I am going to clean this room.......because I have a project I am going to be working on in the next few weeks that I'm really excited to share with you!!! Duh! Why else?! Woohoo :) Have a great weekend! Don't work too hard......or better yet.....do work too hard. Come to my house and CLEAN! I can make brownies as payment? Or I can give you a 20 minute backrub.....or I could even say that we could film a fun video? Ok, ok....I'll stop badgering! Xo!!!!!
