Guess who’s looking a little… less than alive?  Sunglasses, please!  Much better.

I’m looking a little pale and tired… Sunday night I attended a fabulous garden party where I had an allergic reaction to cucumber.  What a bizarre thing to be allergic to, right?  It was my own fault for eating it anyway, but knowing the hosts’ cooking you would have done the same thing.  The cucumber was in a delightful gazpacho, pictured in the last post.  I asked for half a bowl and intended not to finish it because of my allergy, so of course I was scraping the sides of the bowl by the end of the course!  By the time dessert was served I was very, very itchy.  The allergy isn’t life threatening (yet, but it will be eventually if I continue to eat cucumber) but it is uncomfortable.  My arms start to itch, and then my scalp especially near my hairline.  I took a lot of antihistamines but I was still rather itchy for the remainder of the night.  I already received a thorough chewing out from my med school friends so I won’t be doing that again… for a while :)  

This blouse is such a chameleon… I feel as if it never looks like the same color!  The first photo was taken with flash but none of the rest were!  The actual color in real life is somewhere between the first and last photo.
