Hi there! Guess you are wondering what in the world this post is about. Well...me and one other but I wont mention any names here. I learned some important stuff this week and I will share.
1). When the school calls while you are at the beauty shop having your hair "done" to let you know that your child has a fever and you need to pick her up you.... (this part I learned the hard way) Hurry and call Maw Maw! She picks your child up while you are trying to hurry and get home.
2). You just know something is up because while you were out of town Daddy brought child to "Farm Day" with a gazillion other kids. Yep...panic starts here! Rush home to sick child and have her tell you it's the "swan flu" only to find out her fever was 99 and she forgot her home work! Thank you Lord!
You want to fuss but you are so grateful she doesn't have the "Swan Flu" you decide to have heart to heart talk instead and get to the bottom of the story.
3). On to number three..Me! I learned this week that no one ..I repeat no one liked my hair highlighted . So I'm back to my natural roots and dark hair.
4). Fever blisters stay way longer than I expected.
5). And last but not least... I give up. Taking pictures of myself just makes me more of a dork...I regress..
Because all of you sweet people stayed to read this mess I will hold the two giveaways open all weekend and announce the winners on Monday. By then the fever blister should be gone and the Homework will be done and I can show y'all what I'm making over the weekend. Hugs...Susie
I take self portraits all the time and the husband makes fun of me. Did you see the new camera that's coming out where they have a screen on the back AND the front? That's the camera for me! haha
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your little one doesn't have the "swan flu". :)
Have a blessed weekend!
I love this! And I am so glad she did not have the swan flu! I hear that stuff is brutal!!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks beautiful!!
Have a great weekend!!
Lou Cinda :)
OH! Enter me!! :)
You make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteGlad there's no "swan" flu in your home!!
Hi Susie!
ReplyDeleteSwan flu? LOL! Girl you are too funny! You look pretty and I see your wonderful blog has changed it's dress. LOVE it!
Many Blessings and Happy Fall!
~Melissa :)
Oh, Susie! First of all I'm glad ya'll aren't passing the "swan flu" around and I love you even more for posting a picture of yourself with a fever blister - you're still precious!
ReplyDeletefirst off - I thought those pics were of your pre teen daughter! I swear to GOD I am telling the truth! you look too young, girl!
ReplyDeletebe glad it's not the flu - but couldn't the nurse tell she didn't have fever?????? I hope she really doesn't have it - some people just have a low grade fever with it!!!
and go get some wrinkles, would you?????
have a great weekend.
Joni
so glad to hear it isn't the 'swan flu'......
ReplyDeleteand for you to have the 'guts' to take a picture of yourself, with fever blisters, is nothing short of heroic.....or the fever got to your head....one or the other...
;)
hope your daughter feels better - tea with honey is the perf. thing
I don't know what your hair looked like before, but it looks great in these photos. :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a pregnancy test!! I have baby on the brain.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh' The one day I decide to let it all hang out and let my guard down and would'nt you know Joni from Cote de Texas drops by for a visit. She must be thinking "gross" this chic is showing me her fever blister.Ugh!!! Just like those days when your house is all nice and clean and not a soul comes by to visit. Leave it to me to have a blister on my lip the size of Kentucky and my kid is playing hookie. There you have it friends...blogging in the real! Gotta love it~ ...and Joni, I adore you and I hope you come back after this.....smiles~
ReplyDeleteswan flu????? That is really funny!! And you look great, fever blister or no......
ReplyDeleteSuzanne
Aw, Susie - You're so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your little one doesn't have "swan" flu either, whew! There were two cases of it in my youngest girl's class and you can bet that I'm a little on edge!
Have a great weekend!
Swan Flu sounds so much better than Swine Flu! Hope she's okay and doesn't have either!!
ReplyDeleteDitto Joni's words!;-)
I'm having my 400th post giveaway, Susie...come on by and sign up!
Girl...you are so funny...
ReplyDeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteSounds like quite a week. I'm so glad your daughter doesn't have swan or swine. Don't like either one.
Have a blessed weekend.
hugs, Barb
The "swan flu" made me laugh! I love your dark hair. You looks so vibrant. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping your dearie truly doesn't get the flu. Your freshly brewed espresso locks look lovely ~ so does your new header. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the new header!
ReplyDeleteLove the new hair... though I don't know what the "old" hair looked like!
And love that your daughter found a way to "fancy up" a dreadful disease AND get out of school all on the same day! Smart and creative!
Have a fun, swan-free weekend!
I thought you were going to say, "This I know...I'm preg-o!" Tricked me!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is so cute! Love the 'swan flu' - my husband calls it the hiney flu because h1n1 could be twisted into that word. Also, trick for fever blisters because I get them fairly often - L-Lysine. Take one a day (they are as big as horse pills) and they keep them away or help them heal faster if you have one. Hope it works!
ReplyDeleteSo.. did we get to decide on this highlighting business? heehee.. Well I'm happy you're back to your 'normal' self and thank the good Lord no 'swan' flu in your home!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for Maw-Maws!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the swam flu passed quickly. We're onto the pigeon flu in our house...as in, one flu/flew over the...oh, that's coockoo's... :)

ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great! You look so young! Glad your child is fine :)
ReplyDeleteBest cure for fever blister is white distilled vingegar patted on it (it will hurt a bit) then cover with coconut oil. Will heal it within a few days as opposed to nearly two weeks. If you get the vinegar on it fast enough when you feel it coming it will never even come through (also coconut oil).
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings :)
Ace
I like your hair dark, too ;) But you really ARE a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and so glad Maddy didn't have the "swan flu"!
Our area seems to be hit hard with it. One of our employee's family is dealing with it, I've had family dealing with it, and I've been noticing businesses (restaurants and such) putting out hand sanitizer for their customers!
I'm so glad that Maddy didn't have the "swan" flu...lol. Your hair looks beautiful dark and I hope you fever blister goes away soon. I have never had one but I get "ulcers" on the inside of my mouth...OUCH!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.♥
I think you have gorgeous hair. :)
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, I thought that was a pregnancy test instead of a thermometer. Then you said this post was about you and another person...and well, you get the idea. Glad it isn't the "swan flu". I can't wait to see what you'll hopefully be sending my way!
ReplyDeleteOh Susie, so glad that your little dear does not have the flu.
ReplyDeleteThat was a cunning plan!
Your hair looks lovely and I hope that the blister heals up.
Take some time for yourself to relax over the weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Susie; What a great post,,, I have had days like that.... glad that your little one dose not have the Swan Flu either.... how cute is that.... how kind of you to hold you give a way open all weekend.... now I can have a chance to win.... :) hope your weekend is a great one.... oh and I love your natural hair color,, you look very beautiful....
ReplyDeleteHugs;
Alaura
Oh my goodness!! I thought that thermometer was a pregnancy test at first!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful in your pics by the way. ;)
I'm glad she didn't have "swan flu"! (that's so cute)
ReplyDeleteI like your hair dark, too!
And I HATE fever blisters! I use Zovorax cream on mine. Lord knows what else that stuff is for! LOL!
I have about the same hair color as you and no one likes my hair highlighted either. Still fun to try out something new now and then though! Rub a wet match on the fever blister - seems to work like a charm for me to make them disappear!
ReplyDeleteIf it is any comfort I color my own hair. Sometimes it turns out OK sometimes it doesn't. So glad there is no swan flu at your house! And definitely count me in for a giveaway. I am having one too. Have a great weekend. Jackie
ReplyDeleteI love your blog... especially your projects and humor :) I'm so glad the "swan flu" has passed your house by-quite creative of your daughter though to cover for her unfinished homework! Gotta love kids and their creativity!

Good Morning Miz Susie,
ReplyDeleteOH sweet girl, you poor thing, you've been thru it this week huh? On the bright side fever blister or not, highlighted hair or not, your beautiful, deep down to your pretty little toes beautiful because your beauty starts in your heart and radiates outward. So keep taking those dork shots, it just makes us all wish we were neighbors with you cause you're so sweet and adorable. Swan flu... *smiles* kids, you've got to luv 'em...
You crack me up! I so thought that was a pregnancy test! LOL about the comments about Joni! Glad Maddy is ok and your hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteNow go put a wet match, some vinegar and coconut oil on that fever blister and feel better soon!
tough week for you..... sorry for your swine flu, fever blister and bad hair week.... (I like it though) :O)
ReplyDeleteWe had the sick thing going around our house too. Finally on the down swing...
ReplyDeletesimply awesome post Susie. ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove your hair...I always look forward to checking in and seeing what creative things you have done. Gives me inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care and keep well.
I thought that first picture was a pregnancy test! LOL I thought you were going to tell us you were pregnant! LOL -
ReplyDeleteSorry about the tough week! you should click over to my blog and see the crazy week I had! LOL
You and your hair are beautiful!♥
~TidyMom
I forgot to sign my comment...I am the forgetful that one was anonymous (because I don't have a blog yet). Your blog is full of inspiration!! Keep the ideas coming.
ReplyDeleteDawn
I love your hair that color. I just went back to my natural color too and love it. So glad she doesn't have the "Swan flu"! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your self pictures and I love that you are brave enough to do them. I just will NOT! I am not that brave! H1N1 YUCK...we thought it had taken over here but it was not the flu but strep. I have been called three times this year already by the school nurse. I think we are all in for one long school year!
ReplyDeleteWowee, lots going on there but I'm glad there's no 'swan' flu and am sorry about your fever blister. Your hair is gorgeous! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your hair dark! And dont worry, fever blisters feel waaaay worse than they look!
ReplyDeleteSusie, here's a giant hug for ya. But can I tell you that I really thought your temperature stick was a pregnancy test! Can you tell I don't have kids yet? :) So, be thankful that wasn't part of the equation.
ReplyDeleteYes, I admit it... I laughed out loud with the whole "swan flu" thing. Glad she doesn't have it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSwan flu is so much more genteel than swine flu! Your hair is great! So thick..
ReplyDeletemothership3@hotmail.com
Good thing it was ony the homework :) She did look super cute for Farm Day though!
ReplyDeleteLOL...at first, I thought you were posting to tell us that you're preggers...LOL... :D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness......I LOVED the whole "SWAN Flu" thing. Kids!
ReplyDeleteOkay you won't hear from me again in weeks because the wedding is this weekend and I am crazy to even be online at 2:00AM reading your blog!!
But I have missed you......:~)
My sister is coming in for the wedding this week and sure wants to meet you and see your "stuff" she reads your blog all the time as a "lurker." HA!
We must do lunch before the Fall gets away from us......I'll be available soon.
Be blessed,
Joyce
I had to laugh becuase I thought it was a pregnancy test not a thermometer! I thought you had lost your mind! Glad all is well.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I didn't see the fever blister until you mentioned it...
ReplyDeleteThen I had to go back and look in each picture, of course.
thanks for the laugh. i like your hair dark it looks really pretty! i've given up on trying to get my hair colored, i just do it myself, sigh. i laughed when you called yourself a dork, i refer to myself as such too! guess it's all in the name :)
ReplyDeleteHey Susie! I've been out of touch for a couple weeks and man have you been busy! I'm so glad your daughter doesn't have the "swan flu" and everything you have been making is fantastic. And I love the dark hair. It suits you!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is the queen of self portraits!
ReplyDeleteGlad you don't have the "swan" flu at your house!!

First and foremost, let’s get one thing straight: Herve Leger Dresses“There’s an incorrect assumption about Herve that it’s only for evening,”Herve Leger sale Lubov told me up on the 18th floor of her Oktoberfest Costumes Times Square showroom and headquarters. “It can be worn anytime! People also assume that it should fit really tight, but personally I wear it one size bigger because I like the comfort of it while still getting the silhouette.”Herve Leger Replica These are the dresses that are coming into our stores and online now, and these are the dresses that are going to show up come Saturday, because as we pointed out in our runway report last season, an Herve Leger show is full of Herve Leger dresses.
