just don't blame me if it's not always chipper

Learn from my mistake: When the little tube says, "Avoid contact with eyes, lips and mouth," then, by all means, avoid contact with eyes, lips and mouth. That includes eyelids.

I woke up this morning, barely able to open my eyes to see the time. Once I got into the bathroom and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I nearly shit myself. My eyelids look like two jet-puffed marshmallows - but purple marshmallows, not white. Apparently I had a bit of a - well - reaction with some facial cleanser I used last night.

I've spent the morning with mixed vegetables on my face but I still fully anticipate being tormented at work today worse than I've been tormented since grade school. (Did I ever mention that my brother used to call me Fatrocious?)

The wrong kind, apparently.

I actually think it was a maddening combination of grungy water, lotion and face wash. I could run an experiment to see which was the culprit - or whether it really was just the combination - but I fear the results.

That's just awful. And you know what else is awful - your brother used to call you Fatrocious!

And about the whole teacher thing: I agree with Rachel. Calling your teachers by the formal title you called them when you are young just never goes out of style. Take a cue from teachers you have now - most college instructors tell you what they want you to call them and usually it's okay for you to call them by their first name. Your grade school teachers didn't tell you could call them by their first name, and you never did, so why start now?
