I wish someone would have told me that leaving my lips alone would help. I decided to leave them bare at night time and they have healed A LOT!! Damn blistex, I thought it was supposed to heal chapped lips.

Do you ever do something and realize that you are slowly turning into your parents? For me I notice that I am turning into my mother. It's a gradual thing but it's happening.

You see, I always told myself that it would never happen but it happens whether you like it or not. It sneaks up slowly with age. When I was younger I always had my purse organized perfectly. I used to get so annoyed and embarassed when I would watch my mother digging thru her purse looking for money or a credit card holding up the line. I swore I would never do that. Well now it's me holding up the line digging thru my purse to find my card to pay for my goods.

So here in Alberta it's cold and we need to wear a scarf. I love my scarf. It's colorful, soft and long. I was at work a few days ago and decided to drape my scarf over my shoulders and it was hanging in the front. I looked down and..... The dreaded scarf. The scarf my mom wears all the time. I mean not the same one scarf but the same way that it was worn. I hated it when I was young and now I'm the one styling the damn scarf.

Last but not least I see her in the mirror every morning (or when I've had a few drinks). My BFF has this pic of me on her phone after I've had a few beverages and it looks EXACTLY like my mother. Last December when I was in Vegas, I got a lil bit sick and afterwards I looked in the mirror and there she was looking back at me.

See I don't mind these little things happening to me. As long as I don't pick up everything. I love me mom but not everything. I think we all can agree on that.
