Falling Apart =(
Well - My weekend was good. Drew took me to the Pallisades mall on Friday. It’s an absolutely amazing mall. I’ve never been some place like it. Five levels of food, shopping and entertainment. I bought my first pair of heels in LONG time. Granted, they are like.. half of an inch heels but still.. that counts! We saw District 9 with a bunch of his friends. Very Sci-Fi. Good movie, overall. A little long and I was tired when we went into the theater to begin with but I’d recommend it. The Bachelorette Party was okay. It was kind of boring though. We just sat around and I listened in on conversation having to do with having babies, getting married, moving and what the men do that annoy them. We went to a Hibachi grill, home to relax and then the boys came to the house after playing paint ball. We went to this awesome piano bar in New Haven called Keys To The City. The musicians were awesome and definitely had the crowed laughing and dancing the entire night. Overall - good weekend, as if I’d expect anything less when I’m with Drew =P
I have one minor irritation. I have one hell of a cold sore on my top lip. I did research on it and it’s technical term is Herpes Simplex Virus. Apparently you get it from someone else’s saliva or being in close quarters with an open blister. I haven’t been around anyone who has had one and the only boy I’ve been kissing is my boyfriend =/ It’s gross. It’s embarassing and I’m really unhappy about it. Apparently once you’ve been infected the virus stays with you for life. There are creams and such to slow down break outs but there is no actual cure.. =( Sigh. It really sucks. I talked to my friend Amanda because she gets them quite often. I’d say four to five times a year. The problem is that they last for weeks. Luckily, I’m not seeing Drew again until the end of the month so I’m hoping that this sore is all cleared up. It’s mostly scabbed over so it should start healing itself now. If anyone else has any information on this please let me know.
I haven’t weighed myself in a while. I’m not afriad to. I just haven’t gotten around to it. I don’t feel up to going to the gym. I’m also just getting over strep throat which I had while I was in CT. I went to the gym twice last week for some good time on the treadmill. I really enjoyed it both times I went. I’ve been eating well too. While I was in CT I really didn’t eat much. Barely two meals a day.. if that at all =/ I also haven’t been hungry so. We’ll see what the scale reflects when I actually get on. With any luck I’ll weigh a little less. Would be very nice to see.
So, I’ve got the day off. I’m thinking organizing my make up drawer. Cleaning my make up brushes. Watching TV. Reading. Trying on my dress for the wedding. I’ll definitely be relaxing too. The sun is out and I would LOVE to float on the raft in my bathing suit but I don’t even feel up to that.
I hope you girls have a good day.
- Nikki

I get cold sores about 2 times a year. Certain things make them flare up - for me it’s stress mainly, the sun, Vitamin C, peanuts, chocolate, etc. I always use Abreva. I’ve tried every cream out there. Also, my MIL uses Valtrex and it’s quick acting prescription. If you dont have insurance it’s very expensive. I got Zovirax and I take one a day and if you feel the tingle coming then dose up on them by like taking 4 one day, then 2 the next, etc. Cold Sores suck, but they will never go away. You have to find what you are comfy with and go with it. The meds are your best bet to start clearing them up in 2-3 days. Otherwise they can last from 10 days to 3 weeks. Well, there’s my expertice! Good luck!

I’ve only had then 4 times in my life.. the first time one popped up was during a time of extreme stress. You may get lucky and not have many break outs… hard to say.

The piano bar sounded fun!
Sorry to hear about the cold sore. Bf gets maybe one a year, if that. I don’t know what med he uses, but the key is catching it as soon as you feel it coming on, like becomingbutterfly commented.
