So most people sleep to "get away" from things, quiet themselves and drift happily into dreamland.

So..I have been thinking...Maybe I should throw in some more of "myself" into my blogging. Yes, we all think it's freaking hilarious to hear about my experiences from day to day life (especially when I buy things from gay door-to-door salesmen) and hear about the foolishness that I get involved in. But maybe I should be letting more people "into" my life. I mean, that's what "blogging" is all about, right? Letting people into your world. Giving them a glimpse of what your life is like and what your mind is thinking. I feel as though I've kept the blogging to a surface level, meaning, I've told everyone about what actually goes on in my life and the situations and experiences that I have, but I really don't think I've let anyone really into my head or brought anyone to the level that may be more than superficial. So I'm thinking I'll be switching things up now and then and writing posts that may be more on a "feeling level". I think it may be more therapeutic for me and it's my blog, so..that's that. But, for sure there's one thing: I will NEVER talk about anything political because I HATE POLITICS and anything to do with that crazy agenda. I guess that more than not you can guess how someone stands by the way they write and how they feel, but let's leave it at that.

So we decided as a family (FINALLY!) that it would probably be a good idea to join the local YMCA. It a brand spankin' new facility and it's beautiful and when I walked through the doors I wanted to sing. You know why??

Why do I always seem to be on the receiving end of bad customer service??
For example, I needed to call the doctor this week to push up an appointment due to some “complications”.
Ring...Ring….
“Hello..Dr..So-and-So’s office..”
“Yes, um, Hi. This is Mamainstilettos and I need to change an appointment I have with the doctor?? I have one next month? But I need to see him sooner…”
You see, this is the problem. I have had a “skin issue” now for a few months. I saw the good doctor a couple of months ago where he gave me some face wash to use in the mornings and some cream to use at night. Seems innocent enough..Right?
Oh how WRONG. I wash my face at night with my face wash and apply the prescription face cream. 2 minutes later I look in the mirror to see my skin turn an unusual shade of pink and my skin looks so foreignly matte. Almost like wax. Yeah. 2 minutes later I look in the mirror and (OH MY GOD) my face is BURNING FURY RED. And it looks as though it is pulsating. And OH THE PAIN. I barely can open my mouth as I run to the refridgerator to fill a glass of ice to hold it up to my (OH MY GOD) FIRE FACE. And then my face swells. I call it the nightly “chemical fire”. I look forward to lighting my face up each and every night in the name of clear skin.
So then I wash my face in the morning with the “special wash” that takes away about 5 layers of skin with it. Just rolls right off my face like Christmas wrapping paper coming off the roll on Christmas Eve. It’s lovely. I am fully exfoliated each day to the point where I emerge from the shower full-on GLOWING piglet pink. I cannot touch my skin for approximately 10-15 minutes after a shower for fear that I may take off more skin and end up like Jeff Dunham’s character "Achmed". Sometimes I look quickly around my bathroom and utter “I KILL you..” Just to practice.
So BACK to the phone call:
“How long have you been doing you skin care regimine?”
“8 weeks.”
“8 WEEKS? It takes a good 6 months before you see any results and your skin is going to get A LOT worse before it going to get ANY better,” She starts saying SO rudely.
I get a bit amped, “So you’re telling me that there should be CHEMICAL FIRES on my FACE every night.”
“I’m sorry?”
“You’re telling me that my face should be so ON FIRE that I feel like I need to submerge it in the snow outside for relief, but instead I hold up a glass of ice to it every night??” I ask.
“Ok. So that’s not so normal. Let’s see if we can get you in to see the doctor sooner.”
“That’s all I’m asking,” I say.

So, today we are SNOWED IN. Yes, we ALL LOVE New England in MARCH. Good 'ol foot of snow on my doorstep, mocking me and sucking the motivation out of my bones. I can literally feel the steely sky reaching down and draining all hope of spring from my body. My mind is telling me to curl up in the fetal position with my favorite blanket, some comfort food and the remote..Oh waaaaaaait. That's EVERY day!
