    Yay, I'm excited ya'll are excited!  :)

    ETA: Chelsea, yeah I live far too but it's not too far from work.  I may be a tad late though so someone save me a seat.  I will leave at 6 but not sure how traffic will be.

    Stephie,

    If you need help getting back to G-land, I can help you.  I'm so excited you're coming too!!!

    Dear Ladies,

    I *just* got a call for a phone interview this afternoon, and because of the allergies/cold I've been fighting the last two days, I'm still sneezing, my ears are congested (so I'm not hearing that well), and my voice is hoarse. Any suggestions for quick fixes? I've already taken Zyrtec today. 

    Anna, 

    Have you ever done the netipot? We have done the squeeze bottle that is made by the same company and it works wonders. It's just a warm water and saline solution that we squeeze up each nostril. If you do it morning and evening and combine with about 2 squirts of afrin in each nose hole you'll be feeling loads better.  This is what the allergist doctor told us to do. She also gave us a prescription for Nasenx, but I can't help with that.

    Try to drink lots of fluids, so your throat stays lubricated. I use the behind the counter Claratin and it works wonders for me. Other than that you could try, gargling salt water for your throat, nose spray may help with the congestion (clear nose, may mean clear ears) and the sneezing.... GOOD LUCK!!

    You can even buy this in a can now.  It doesn't work for me but I know people who swear by it.

    So glad you are liking it!  Are you using it to remove your make-up?  So far I have only used mine in the morning (when my face is already clean of make-up) and I am wondering if I should use it at night, too?

     

     

    Sara,

    I use mine twice a day. You're supposed to remove your makeup before using it. It's just supposed to remove even more of the makeup that normal makeup removers and manual scrubbing cannot remove. And it works! Because when I'm finished, I can see excess makeup on the brush!

  • Stephie-so glad you're coming!

    Btw, I was a little confused as to why Brandi said it was so far for her, when she works in Dallas. I used to work downtown, and live in Las Colinas (where G2G is), and it only took me about 20 mins to get home every day.

    Oh well. I think most people think LC is far away. It's a pretty central location as far as DFW is concerned.

    I second the netipot.

    Good luck! I hope you feel better. And you're not alone. Allergies have killed this season.

  • Thanks everyone!

    I have used the neti pot before and I really liked it, but I think I threw mine away in the last move. I think I'll run to Albertson's to see if they have one. Then I might use the nose spray, take some Mucinex and drink some tea, haha. Something's bound to help!

    Between Zyrtec, Mucinex and nose spray...be careful you don't show up high as a kite!! haha

    I took two Municex too close to one another once...yeaaaaaa....it was tortured, I felt like crap!!

    Bill halucinated one night and thought there was a squirrel at the end of his bed.

    Whoa! I've never had trouble with Mucinex before, but maybe I'll skip it this time. Benadryl makes me pretty loopy. I took it Saturday night and felt out of it all day Sunday. 

  • Sara and Summer,

    I use mine twice a day.  I take off all my make-up before I use it. 

  • Either everyone went to lunch, or this thread died really quickly.

  • Dear OL Tuesday-

    It's pretty sad that I'm only able to partake during my lunch, which is now over.  Also I really rely on the daily threads to help remind me what day it is.  Because I did not participate much today and it was dead yesterday, I seriously thought today was Monday until about an hour ago and wanted to cry.

  • Brianna- I was wondering about the elephant!  I was afraid it got lost in the mail!

    And I would be able to have more of you at the wedding, but some of you are bringing your DH's so there isn't enough room for everyone :-(

  • Dear Nesties,

    I can't keep up with all of you, but YAY for the baby makers...I'm joining that club soon hopefully!  (if I can ever get DH home at the right time from ND)

    Also, I'm bummed I will be missing the G2G too.  DH is in town so we have to cram seeing everyone into the short time he is here.  Pleeeeeeease, with cherry on top, do another one (not a Dallas one) very soon!

     -bummed newbie nestie :)

    I'm lame and keep forgetting to drop it off at the post office... I do remember that I am passing it to you!  Is it cool if Lacey brings it?

    Yea that's fine!  I'm happy as long as I get it in time for pictures on Saturday.  I have to start doing pictures at 3:30 though.

  • I was in a meeting!  Brianna, I can pick it up from you and get it to Sarah before her pictures.  :)  I'm a ninja like that. 

  • Dear OMHs,

    Hi everybody!  *waves*  I'm sneaking in a little mid-day visit today... lots of fun news!  Yay for babies and weddings this weekend with Eli as a guest... Sad about not making this Friday's G2G, excited about the next one, and I'm off to another meeting, TTYL!

    I should have explained:  he took two really close together.  Don't do that.

  • Yes, via FB messaging we just realized that we live very close to each other (like within 5 minutes or so).  :)

     

     

     

     

    Oh, and because I really am a ninja.

    Well duh, I knew that.

  • Dear Nesties - yay for babies.  I'm really sad I can't make it to the G2G Friday.  I will be a a friends wedding which is at the same location as my brothers wedding in September (The Filter house).  So I get to see a good friend get married AND get ideas for my brothers wedding.  Yay.  But boo that I will be missing the G2g.  :(
