Girls night out with Karlee

My oldest sends me a text message asking me what I was up to and asked if I had any plans for the evening, this was last week on Thursday.  I told her no I was going to cook dinner and just relax.  I had spent the whole day cleaning out and organizing things around the house and was tired.  I wasn't really in the mood to go any where.  I thought she would surprise me and say okay great I will come out and hang with you mom, but nope she wanted me to go into town and spend  some time with her and spend the night.  When it comes to Karlee you need energy and you never know what you'll end up doing either.  She is a ton of fun to hang out with but I try to plan things and struggle with being spontaneous.  She will be moving soon to Phoenix, I know its only 2 hours away but that changes in things a ton when I can't just go drive to town and be there with her or meet up so easily or have a place to go kill time between things.  So with that in mind I took the time to think and figuring out what I was going to do. 




Well as you can see I found the energy to head to town and meet up with her to go out to dinner.  We weren't sure what we would do after that.  I thought well we could go back to her place and relax watching a movie or do some wine and paint night.  Karlee really wanted to go out and about.




We enjoyed a yummy drink while we waited for my food at Whisk & Whiskey. It was a neat looking place inside.  Karlee's drink was called a purple rain, it was pretty good. I had a house cabernet.

very industrial looking inside.


Yummy yummy! Thats all I have to say!

What can I say we get a little silly when we are together! :)


This doesn't even look like my daughter! Look! Look how grown up she looks in the picture above!! So crazy, 23 years old.  Just think I was pregnant with her when I was 23 and had her when I was 24!  Wow!!  Things have changed!  


Lemon drip martini 


Kicking back on a comfy couch in a bar!

very interesting flowery type sweet drinks....different but good and one was enough for me.

Loved the lights and the atmosphere. 





Yep! We went from dinner to another spot!  A neat place downtown to have a few drinks. I loved the atmosphere.




We really had fun. Some of Karlee's friends joined us and things got a little silly at times but it was fun.


Karlee's and Nat's kitty came up to sleep on my legs in their bed.  Silly kitty.

It was a fun time with my oldest. I'm glad I went to hang out with her, we have to make the most of the time we have until she moves and its a longer in between the times we will get to hang out with each other again.



















Sara Moments/My dermatologist apt.



Sara bear loves Ben.  The two of them have a great relationship.  I'm thankful that Sara can count on Ben and Ben is always there.




Apparently I was really sensitive skin.  I need to not only take care of my face but the rest of my skin as well.  I knew that but it didn't hit me until recently.  I went to the dermatologist for itchy eye brows, and dry scaly red patches on my eyelids and under my eyes.  It was getting worse so I figured I better go get it looked at.  I had contact dermatitis, something had bothered my skin and it became very irritated and inflamed.  I had to go get a prescription filled for a cream to use on and around my eyes.


I took a pic so I good see if I could get a discount through Good RX, I didn't like how the person helping me was not being very nice or helpful.  So I've been treating it for 3 days now and its really made a difference and helping a ton.  I can't wait to be able to wear makeup again.  I was told that to help it go away and not knowing what triggered it to stop using anything on my face, and not putting much in my hair, like no hair spray.  Anything could have bothered my skin and I don't know what so its best to go without make up for a while.  Doesn't take long me to get ready in the mornings now hahaha.

I have to treat it for awhile and then I when it goes away then I can start slowly adding things back on to my face and hopefully discover what it was that bothered it.  

I bought a new body lotion from where I went and I really like it.  My skin is so dry all the time and it seems to be helping.  I'm really going to try to pay attention to what I put on my body and wear good sun block as well.  I mean I'm not getting any younger so......I better take care of my skin.  I will be 48 years old in fact next month!  Crazy!!
