I was finally starting to feel close to 100% better after my bizarre alergic reaction last week & my eyes were just very dry, but probably not noticeable to anyone else. So I tanned for 2 days & got ready to shoot the photos I need to submit for 2 different projects. Low & behold, it's the tanning that is making me swell like Stay Puft the Marshmallow Face! By the end of the shoot my eyes were itching & swelling by the minute. I kept taking antihistamines & rubbing on the hydrocortisone cream, so they're not completely closed today, but it's still a not leaving the house kind of day.
So, does this mean I'm cancelling my members cam show tonight? No way! In fact I'm moving it to 1 hour earlier - 11:00 PM EST. Since my eyes are such a mess & I really don't want to irritate them further by putting on make-up, this crafty girl is going to do a sexy themed show instead - glasses, a white blouse, short skirt & stockings. A little striptease out of my office outfit should be just the thing to lift my spirits! Hopefully my foot fans can make it tonight. =)

Foot & Stocking Fetish Show Tonight
Thursday, February 23, 2006
FYI: I'm an Ogre
I had two full days of shooting planned yesterday & today, so in preparation I tanned, painted my nails, deep conditioned my hair...all that fun stuff. But as I was getting ready for my cam show on Tuesday night (which I had a GREAT time at! awesome folks dropped by), I noticed the corners of my eyes were really dry. I put on some lotion & did my show, plus a few shots of my feet afterwards for my foot fetish fans. By the time I was done, there were big puffy circles under my eyes. I took off all my make-up, cranked up the humidfier in my bedroom & went to sleep. By the time I woke up yesterday morning my eyes were swollen almost completely shut! Yes, I am an ogre.
I went to a walk-in clinic which wasn't much help. I'm not using any new make-up products or detergents whatsoever. Every product has been something I've used for months without a problem. The only thing I can think of is nail polish, which I don't wear that often, but did have on while I was poking around my eyes applying my make-up. I have an appointment with my family doctor today & hopefully he'll have some suggestions other than Claritin.
It's not as bad today, but still just doesn't look like *me*. I had no idea how much my eyes impact my entire look. It's really bizarre looking in the mirror & not recognizing yourself. As women age, many will get some kind of plastic surgery to look younger, like a face lift or eye lift, and no wonder they end up looking so different. Not younger, just different. Remind me to re-read this entry when I'm 40. =)

Spank Me!
Hey sweeties! I've been such a bad girl lately, getting wrapped up & too busy to take care of my wonderful foot fans. I need a spanking! heehee
I have a huge update coming up with new photo sets & a new video. I have so many ideas for really cool shoots, but I decided that getting a video up quickly might be more appreciated, so I went back to basics. It's a very simple one with a low camera showing lots of yummy shots of my feet - up on my tip toes, a little flexing & pointing & of course, wriggling my piggies. I'm wearing a dark purple polish in that one & have plans for more red this week. So stay tuned!

Out of Town
Hey sweeties! Just a heads up to let you know that I'm in Calgary for a few days so won't be able to reply to email etc. until I get back. I think I found a great new solution for doing foot cam shows though, so if you've emailed me, I will get back to you as soon as I get it all set up. =)
Have a great weekend!

Olympic Hockey Has Started!
Hockey & ice skating are my two favorite sports to watch during the Olympics, followed by the crazy aerial tricks that the skiers & snowboarders do. I didn't have anybody to root for in skating & after that girl from China got up & finished after such a painful looking fall, she'd have been my pick anyways. But hockey has started, baby! Click here for the official schedule. It's too bad the time difference makes watching the games with friends a lost cause. One of my girlfriends manages a pub & actually called the liquor board to see if they could get a license to serve for the early morning final. No luck, so no, they won't be opening early. PJs & cereal just aren't as much fun as rooting with a whole crowd of folks in a public place. Obviously beer trumps milk. =P
In lieu of fun hockey cheering in public, I took mine private in these Oops, I Got Caught Jumping Again! snaps:
And if you still want more Team Canada, I put up a new wallpaper in 800 X 600 as well as 1024 X 768. Check it out on my wallpaper page.

Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm busting my ass trying to get a Valentine's Day photo update ready for my members but working from my laptop is proving to be verrrrry slow going. All the basic things I had on my main system, like the program I use to build galleries, the fonts for the watermark & so on are not installed here. So it's been many hours of running upstairs & back downstairs searching for CDs & so on. BUT I'm so fucking happy to announce that I think I'm going to have all of my data recovered! A tech friend of mine hooked me up with an amazing data recovery program that has been running for almost 3 days straight. It keeps trucking along & I keep my fingers crossed. =)
I had an awesome weekend & will post some photos later. Geocaching with my 6 year old nephew for the first time? Check! Kicking ass at mini golf? Check! Losing my ball in the water & almost nailing onlookers in the bean with my ball? Check! Nothing like a 6 year old to remind you that your biggest problems should be not laughing enough. Or eating enough foil-wrapped chocolate hearts. hehe.
I'm going to hurry up & get my V-Day shoot edited & uploaded. They unfortunately require a lot of editing after my 500 W light blew out on the first photo, so as the sun went down, the pics get much darker. But at least I had one other blue photo bulb so I didn't have to use a regular household one like in my last shoot. Hello, yellow face! I loved the shots, but it looked like I had been under a sun lamp for way too long (just my face though!).
Give yourself a big hug & a squeeze! It's a day for celebrating love & as cheesy as it sounds, loving yourself is the most important thing you can do today.
*smooches*

New Diet/Eating Disorder
I haven't given up hope that I'll be able to recover some of the data on my fried drive, but in the meantime I have Windows XP installed & running, as well as most of my programs. What I'm missing is my main day to day stuff - my email accounts, passwords, mail I haven't replied to yet, bookmarks & a ton of raw photos. I need a good back-up system that doesn't involve my external drive that takes 3 or 4 tries to connect properly every freakin' time I turn the thing on.
After a few months of eating lots of crap I decided to clean up my act & start a fresh diet yesterday. I had a protein shake for breakfast & dinner was yummy - fresh cod, veggies & rice. Unfortunately, about an hour later I hung onto the toilet as the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had rocked me violently. I was so sick & miserable I started crying in between heaves. I feel great today, if a little overtired after so many nights without a good sleep. I didn't plan to start my diet with a total cleanse, but I guess that'll work. Too bad I already made up for lost time by snacking on some Valentine's chocolates. hehe. I went out for supper tonight with my family & was delighted when my favorite aunt arrived carrying a bag with perfect pink tulips peeking out of the top. Flowers, chocolates, a little teddy bear & a sweet card - might be my best V-day yet!
I've never been the type of girlfriend who has huge expectations when it comes to Valentine's Day. I nice dinner at home followed by a good movie (one that *I* get to pick) is all I really need. But when you see the sappy stories about husbands or boyfriends who really go all out, I am a little wistful. I've never really had a big blowout V-day as an adult. I got diamond earrings one year, but it was at a time in his life, as well as my own, where the money should've gone to paying bills, not on silly trinkets. So while it was a nice gesture, though I am sooooo not a diamond earring kind of gal & think I've only worn them once or twice, there was certainly no "thought that counts" in that scenario. Real thought would've amounted to a homemade card with pictures of future celebrations & a credit card statement showing a big payment. Told ya, really not a sappy sort of girl.
Maybe the reason V-day doesn't rank high on my list is because I was spoiled at any early age by my first boyfriend. It was grade 5 or 6 & he was our paperboy, Kurt. He had white-blonde hair & freckles dusted across his nose that wrinkled when he broke out an adorable smile. Like me, he got excellent grades & was the perfect first kiss. My very first Valentine's Day memory is my dad bringing in the morning paper as I groggily came down for cereal. Inside our paper was a big card with a heartfelt message & chocolate heart. I think I still have that card somewhere. So sweet!
His memory might not be quite as fond though. I think I dumped him a couple of weeks later to go out with his best friend for a whopping 3 days. I just didn't know how good I had it until after I'd kissed Mr. Grass Greener at the bike racks. Mmmmmm...kissing at the bike racks after school until your lips are chapped. Now that's a good Valentine's Day! And a criminal offense at my age, of course.

Dreaming
Have you ever been dreaming about being in a movie theatre, eating popcorn & then woke up to the realization that you were eating your disgusting waxy ear plug? Happy Friday! After the initial confusion, it was actually a nice way to wake up since I was laughing my ass off.
It's +4 C today which means absolutely gorgeous! Sunny, warm & a perfect day to take the dogs for a hike & maybe a little geocaching. May have to make a quick dash to the store for batteries for my GPS first. Nothing exciting this weekend, unfortunately. My best friend is going to Calgary for a big superbowl party, but I need to get some work done, so I'll be staying home feeling sorry for myself. I might go on cam later if anyone wants to keep me company in a private show. =)
