Some of you have probably logged on to see a nice story about a friend I might have met while walking my kids to the park. Maybe she had two kids like myself around the same age with stories to swap about motherhood and such. No, that is not the new friend I have.

My new friend is a GIGANTOR zit that has placed itself right between my eyes. It's actually a little closer to my left eye. It's a third eye. And I'm not very happy about it. It's been at least 6 days since it first appeared. And I am a picker, so it took all I could muster to leave it alone for a good 5 days. Then I went and made the whole thing worse than one can imagine. I even avoided eye contact with a guy I went to high school with in the grocery store because of it. Some might say a little zit doesn't matter and I should've been polite. Thank goodness I was wearing a baseball cap because I just pulled it a little lower and kept my eyes on the checkout line. Hopefully he didn't notice my Supermarket Sweep finish to the cash register, all in the name of avoiding an uncomfortable conversation.

So, I've got to live with Zitoni (named so for it's size and color relative to a slice of pepperoni) for a few more days. Thankfully I don't go back to work for another week. The kids never fail to point things like this out. At least by then it will just be a small scab.
