Happy St. Patrick's Day

Don't forget to wear green or the leprechauns might pinch you! I don't think I'll be seeing any leprechauns today, as it's not a school day. ;-) Even so, I'll partake in the wearing o' the green. There's a little Irish in me on my father's side. Maybe I'll download some Celtic music to listen to whilst I write me last two papers? Sounds like a fine idea.

Yesterday, I had my first photofacial. I had decided last summer that I would do this to combat the redness in my skin. I've never had a dermatologist look at my skin before, but I'm pretty certain that it's a form of rosecea. All the research I did about rosecea indicated that topical treatments weren't effective and that IPL technology was the best treatment. I'll tell you it's a bit startling because the light is SO BRIGHT - even with eye goggles on! But the discomfort was minimal. My face was pretty red initially, but aside from a few brown spots (expected), it's looking and feeling normal today. The technician said it would take about a week for me to see the results. I am so not into needles and surgery, but I think IPL and laser treatments are wonderful ways to treat the signs of aging in a mostly non-invasive way. So, I'm excited to see how this turns out.

I ordered a copy of iRemember in an attempt to begin digital scrapbooking in the near future. When I looked into digital scrapbooking software last year, there really wasn't anything easy-to-use (for dummies like me) out there designed for Macintosh computers. This product has since been released and I hope I'll be able to do some fun things with it.

Well, I think that's about it. I need to eat some breakfast and get to work on those assignments. I will also have the pleasure of going to the dentist today for a teeth cleaning. I love going to the dentist! Really, I do!

Have a good weekend, everybody!
