So far, my blog posts have been about fun family adventures, cute little Marley tidbits, sweet Conway gestures and all the wonderful things we Wests get to enjoy on a fairly regular basis.
But today I thought I'd take a break from the usual Romantic Comedy/Action Adventure/Musical section and veer for a moment into that uncharted world of Horror/Drama. (Ok, so maybe I'm being a little dramatic; we'll call it a documentary. Because it really is today's reality.)
I have pink eye.
Gross, goopy, pus oozing out of my eye? Check.
Swollen eyelids glued together with mucus? Check.
Really expensive eyedrops ($46!) that feel like liquid acid when I use them? Check.
I look like an evil villain from a Disney cartoon. And not one of the beautiful Queens. I'm talking Wicked Witch meets Captain Hook. Arrrgh!
Look out kids! There's a crooked-glasses-no-make-up-red-eyed-monster on the loose.
I'll spare you a photo.
Post Script:
After publishing this post, I am feeling extremely guilty and ungrateful. Trust me, I know I shouldn't complain; I have SO much to be thankful for and I am. In fact, having this crappy pink eye makes me that much more grateful for my health, my vision, my eyes, etc. etc. etc. I can't wait to get them all back.
But honestly, it can't be all sunshine and roses ALL the time, can it?

I feel for you, that sucks!!! However, I'm sure you still look as beautiful as ever!
Um- pink eye is certainly worth a bit of a rant. Yuck! So sorry I hope you get better soon.
It's okay to complain once in a while. Sorry about the pink eye.
I hope you start feeling better soon. And I hope Marley doesn't get it!
Pink eye?! How lame. Don't pass it onto Conway or Marley...you don't want any other "monsters" on the lose. Get better soon!
i have never had pink eye but i watched my brother go through it when he was younger. it was really creepy. i thank you for sparing us from the horror.
good thing you're there....and we're here. hope it goes away quick.
That was hilarious...yes definitely worth complaining about.
I refuse t believe you could ever resemble that scary wicked witch! I am sorry your eye is oozing and painful, but my best guess is that you are still a beauty queen!! hang in there!
This seriously had me laughing so hard. I was gearing up for something like death or worse..but no, it's your eyeball. Not that I'm not full of sympathy for you, but good grief Miss Optimistic-sen. You're aloud to complain you know. After all...the drops hurt you know.
oh hun-so sorry about the pink eye! and dude-complain all you want-that is what friends are for right! here through the good and the bad!
