turning into garfield

i am really convinced that there is something about aldo that brings out my crappiest allergies. last weekend while we were at American Eagle, i tried on a down vest with faux fur on the hood, and to my surprise my eyes started swelling. at first i thought it was just an ordinary case of watery eyes - i assumed it was because i was sleepy. but 3 stores down the hall, aldo noticed that my eyes were getting puffy again. and not the dainty kind of puffy too.

so we literally ran to the nearest drugstore and found Extra Strength Reactine just in time... swelling stopped and i ended up looking like i had too much sleep lang instead of having garfield eyes.

last time this happened was in '98 when we were on our first date. hmm.. i sure hope this isn't some bizaare mark of aldo-firsts! good thing this didn't happen on our wedding day because even eddie bruan would have freaked out!
