A week and a half! Warning - pictures might scare the weak of stomach

This blog is my New Year's Resolution and I'm trying to keep up with it. I can't believe a week and a half has passed and I couldn't squeeze in a post. So it's Saturday and I'm playing catch up. I have 3 things I can post about 1) Running 2) a day in the life of a homeschooling mom 3) my first chemical peel. I know they are all so exciting and juicy!

I'll start with the one I'm knee deep in (or should I say face deep in) - my first chemical peel. It's funny when I was a young teen girl I had naturally light blonde hair and I said I would never color my hair. In my thirties, I ate those words! And when I was a young 20-something I said I would age gracefully meaning naturally without intervention. Now, I see 40 on the horizon waving me down, welcoming me to a new decade and I'm again eating my words. You know it's easy to say you won't color your hair, wax your eyebrows, wear make-up, or have any cosmetic procedures done when you're a hot young 20 or 30 year old. There's nothing wrong with a little facial peel to sluff off some old skin and reveal the young sassy skin just dying to show up to the party, right? - says the 39 year old. The reality is I never thought I'd drive an SUV, wear Lucky jeans, or get anything more than a facial - but here I am doing all 3 and I'm loving it! No apologies! I will add pictures as the face sheds. ;P
