Breaking through
Dear Adult Acne:
We need to talk. Like seriously talk. We thought we had a deal. We thought once we reached the wise ol’ age of twenty-nine that we would part ways. We would continue on with our adult life blemish free, and you would find another human to have pizza parties with. Was that not the deal? We distinctly remember standing in front of the bathroom mirror as a teenager begging you to come to an agreement as to when the breakouts would end. Don’t remember? To help refresh your memory, we have enclosed a copy of our signed Adult Acne Free Agreement form which states that all of our adult acne should end before we turn the age of twenty-nine. This means you have 39 days to pack up your stuff and head out. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact our team of lawyers at Proactive Solutions. With clear skin, Lauren _______________________________________ Sorry, we had to get that off our chest. Phew. We don’t know what happened this weekend, but we had one of the worst breakouts in years. We thought all of this acne stuff was supposed to be gone, especially before you turned thirty! Geesh. Anyway, besides dealing with our aggravating breakout, we woke up with a monster of a headache this morning. We are pretty sure we were dehydrated from our skiing adventures yesterday (it’s a small price to pay to the snow God’s). Before we headed to work, we took three Bayer tablets, but our headache didn’t go away until almost noon. Yikes. Trying to concentrate on a computer screen when your head feels like it’s going to explode like a nuclear reactor at any second just sucks.
Thankfully we felt much better by the afternoon and was able to jog around Wash Park. There’s nothing better than fresh air, sunshine, and beautiful scenery to clear ones mind. Well, when we say clears one mind, we mean it allows us to think of fun stuff like, what we want to accomplish in 2012.
Yes, yes, we are still working on our resolution list. Is that bad? There are so many things we want to accomplish that when we think about each task it becomes overwhelming and suddenly we feel paralyzed. Does that ever happen to you? Here are few resolutions that we are pretty sure are going on the list: – Run the Chicago Marathon – Complete a triathlon – Take a sauce class at Cook Street – Eat more vegetables! It’s a start. Dinner tonight was an oldie, but a goodie. We are a huge fan of pork chops. We don’t know why, but whenever we cook pork chops we always think of the cartoon Doug on Nickelodeon. Remember? His dog’s name was Pork Chop. No? Yes? Bueller? Anyways, dinner was smashing. Sauteed Pork Chops with Herbs de Provence, Steamed Broccoli (hello resolution), and Fingerling Potatoes. Get it while it’s HOT. Now, we are off to scrub our face and read. Peace.
