Is it sad that part of my weekend excitement involved a first-time use of a neti pot-type apparatus?

My allergies have been driving me insane for about 4 days now, and after tweeting to ask for advice, the neti pot was (as always) a popular suggestion. My mom always tells me to use one when I’m sick, but it’s always freaked me out; I didn’t want the solution to go in my brain and give me an amoeba.  Anyway, I was on my last limb and finally decided to give it a whirl. Kyle stopped to get me one on his way to hang out at our house Friday afternoon, and he was there to give me a pep talk as I apprehensively tried it out.

It actually felt really good. In Kyle’s words, “It feels like you’re drowning, but a good drowning.”

He was dying laughing watching me do it, and after it was over and I felt like a million bucks, he showed me all of the iPhone pics he snapped without my knowledge. The boy has blackmail pics fo’ lyfe.

The Pilot left with the boys for a bachelor weekend vacay with Kyle and his groomsmen,

so it’s been a girls’ weekend. Liv and I have had a blast together, met up with the fam on Friday night for Chipotle dinner after shopping,

(holy tower of guacamole!)

and just hung out at the casa Saturday night. I watched a bunch of shows I had saved on the DVR and went to sleep at 10 each night. Pretty glorious.

I choreographed two pieces for the show (a ballet/hip hop/Zumba dance and a hip hop), and am also in a bellydance piece. I always love dance week
