ok... so i'm pretty brave putting myself out there like this. but here it is...

MY PIMPLE!!!!

not only did i get this thing the week before the play opens, but at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, my director called me and said "i forgot to tell you we have headshots for the play tonight. they will hang in the hall during the show, so you'll want to put your best face forward..."

why?! WHY ME?! soooooo, because i am completely gullible - i decided to put toothpaste on my face to dry it out.

can i just say - it DOESN'T WORK. and this thing is soooooo big that even concealer won't cover it up.

so i sat down to take my photo and asked the photographer to Photoshop it out. No biggie. i can do it. raina can do it. april can do it. And he said, "what? your mole?" and i gasped! It's not a mole! it's just a pimple the size of one. a couple of people suggested i should a put a dot of brown eyeliner on it and pass it off as a beauty mark. But don't you think people would get a little curious when i don't have it the night of the shows?

argh! so. such is life.

Next week - volunteering at the United Way. Starting my Moc Doctor rounds at the hospital! YAY! i have two rotations in Surgery which makes me feel very Meredith Grey.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand - because i am constantly ragging on people's teeth - i have bad karma!
i have been whitening mine for a while now and was flossing the other day when i realized it is very possible that i might have receding gum lines. My roots for two of my teeth are ALMOST exposed!!! i'm freakin' out. my teeth are going to fall out! So i have a dentist appt. next week as well. He's going to yank out all my teeth and replace them with horse teeth. (what i like to call fake teeth) I'm too young for dentures!

Then... ladies and gentleman - my play opens on Thursday. Seven showings over the next two weekends. I'm really excited and nervous and scared. Our newspaper ad comes out tomorrow... i'll try to provide a link if there is one!

love you all! i'm off to get some scrappin' done!
