I am going to tell you a random story out of nowhere this morning. It popped into my head because we're staying in a hotel at the moment, and the air conditioning was blowing on me all night. My sinuses feel like a desert.
But back to the story. Several years ago my family and I went to Las Vegas in December. The day we arrived, before we hit the strip, we went to our hotel to wash our faces and change clothes. My sister had been complaining about how dry the Nevada air was, and had been obsessively applying Chapstick.
While she was in the bathroom washing her face, the rest of us were discussing what to do that evening. Suddenly we heard a squawk from the bathroom and my sister started yelling for us to join her. By the time the three of us ran in, she was in hysterical laughter. She had blood all over her face: dripping from her chin and running in streams down both cheeks. It was smeared gruesomely across her for head. We were all horrified; she looked like something out of a teen slasher flick.
Turns out, of course, there was nothing seriously wrong with her. She had managed terrible timing and the dry air had caused a nosebleed while she was washing her face. She had closed her eyes and scrubbed her whole face with soap, smearing the blood everywhere.
Thankfully, a little time cured the nosebleed, and a damp towel restored her from serial-killer-victim status.
Now, time to get ready! Since it's my birthday tomorrow, we're in Disneyland, and six of us are going to start the day off with fruit, croissants, and mimosas. Eggy made me an amazing scavenger hunt to complete in the park today as part of my present, and I'll post again later with pictures of all the silly things I have to do... :)
