I dunno if ya'll care or not...

Brad tells me the blog is boring because I haven't updated it since Sunday. That's because I've done nothing that I thought you guys would care about since the weekend. Then I decided maybe somebody might care about it. And if you don't care, I don't care that you don't care.

Sunday evening - from our weekend spent totally outdoors, I developed itchy bumps on my legs & waist line. I thought they were mosquito bites. Then they turned red & formed welps. Uh, not mosquito bites. So Brad thought they were turkey ticks. They itched so bad that I couldn't sleep. I had to self medicate/knock myself out w/ benadryl just to sleep. So I googled turkey ticks (God Bless the internet). I don't believe that's what I have. Then I googled chiggers. A-ha! Chiggers - that's what I've got. There's nothing I can do but wait it out... 7-10 days of waiting...& itching...& large red welps. I must also clarify something about chiggers. They do not burrow into your skin. They inject you w/ venom that liquifies your tissue (gag!) & then if they are still on you (taking a shower, etc. gets them off of you) they will suck the liquified tissue out (double gag!). The swelling & itching is from your bodies allergic reaction to them. That's why you just have to wait it out. http://www.mdc.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/chiggers/ This will totally gross you out!

Monday - I came home & washed all the bedding to kill whatever critters we brought home from the outdoors.

Tuesday - I've been debating on whether or not I want to sell Premier Jewelry. I've had a couple of parties & I earned LOTS of free jewelry...that has since been stolen & is probably on some white trash chicks wrists, ears, necks, ankles & fingers. Anywho-I got roped into another party (-uh, I have to replace what I had) & subsequently they have been telling me I would "be great for it." I dunno why they think that. I'm painfully shy... So I've been milling it over. I asked my friends what they thought. Cuz I know my friends will tell me the cold hard truth...or at least, they better... Then I had lunch w/ the jewelry lady cuz I had lotsa questions about the whole thing. I was intrigued after lunch, so I went to her house after work to see their computer application for ordering, tracking, etc. & was even more intrigued. She is gone to Texas right now to get the new line of jewelry that's coming out tomorrow. Then there's a little "training" thingie they do in Scottsburg once a month where they all get together & do the happy dance for the Premier Jewelry Gods & that's Monday night. I'm going to go to that & get a feel for it & then I'll have to either piss or get off the pot cuz my party's Tuesday night.

Wednesday - Since I'm in all-out "try to get the most free jewelry I can" mode, I have been asking people to come to my party or look at books. After I walked (& was red & sweaty-which doesn't help the itching chiggers), I went to where I get my hair cut & left a book for them. Then I went to a friends house who is coming to the party, but has never really heard of Premier & gave her a book. Then I went home to start straigtening up my house because we will be at the lake this weekend. I have to come home kinda early Sunday to buy the food & cook since I will be at the happy dance training thingie Monday night.

Also-ya'll know I have no shame, right?. And if I start selling jewelry, I'll have to have parties. And I'll need some girl friends, blog readers, (whatever...I'm not picky) to be the hostesses w/ the mostesses at said parties. Um, do ya see where I'm going w/ this? I've already had 2 friends say they'd have parties for me...but it's gonna take more than 2. It takes a village, people... Don't make me go all sales lady on ya & tell ya how much jewerly you could earn. Or how much fun you'd have... Cuz I totally will...
