You have got to be kidding me...

Before my 30th birthday, Tara was terribly distraught that I really just didn’t care. She couldn’t understand how this monumental day did not bother me. Well, I admit now that I totally underestimated what 30 would do to me. This has been a year of firsts of course, but I never imagined so many firsts to occur to my body. There was the first gray hair, the first “down there” infection due to the antibiotics that I have been on for months for the first allergy infections and then there was this. The first swollen lip. I am not sure what in the world happened but I went home for lunch and heated up some mac and cheese from last night. I am pretty sure that it had nothing to do with the swelling as I didn’t get sick last night when I ate it. As I was watching Monday’s Oprah (Cesar from the Dog Whisperer was on there!), the left side of my lip felt a little numb and then it felt like there was something there. To my horror, I looked in the mirror to find a large marble hanging out between my lip and nose. The picture isn’t great but you get the general idea. You can also see a little of the phone as I called Tara wailing of my newest feature. This is one of those times that I needed one of my frantic, ranting calls to you. You more than likely would have held the phone out from your ear and rolled your eyes to whomever you were with, but you would have certainly have let me rant!!! More,
