1) I think I'm developing a reaction to something in some types of lip balm, but I'm still working on what.  This summer some of them started making my lips feel more sore, almost blistery, and a bit rough (the opposite of what lip balm is supposed to do)  At first I thought I'd gotten a sunburn on just my lips.  It's taken a while of testing just one at a time but I've figured out I'm getting the reaction from burt's bees honey but not burt's bees mint flavored.  The honey lip balm from the people selling honey at the farmer's market is bad too.  But so is Badger ginger and lemon is out, so I don't think it's the honey ingredient (also, I can smear honey on my lips without trouble, ask me how I know)  The only two that seem ok so far are the burt's bees mint and the burt's bees with a little color tint.  Oh, and nutrogena lip gloss with moisturizer.
I could just stick to the one I know, but I like variety, so I'm trying others.  I just got something from eos - I've never heard of them but they had a raspberry pomegranate flavor (I'm such a girl) I'll know in a few hours whether this is a problem one too.
1a) anyone want several (slightly used) honey lip balms?
1b) brownie points to anyone who can detect a trend

2) I'm considering cutting my hair - but not in a way anyone would notice.  Right now I'm just approaching classic length aka the very bottom of my butt/top of my thighs.  The original plan was to see how long it would grow.  But I'm starting to get tired of sitting on it all the time.  If I cut it I'd only take 4 or 5 inches off.  It's still be long enough to accidentally tuck into the waistband of my underwear by accident.

3) It's supposed to rain a LOT this weekend, and I'm supposed to be taking some knitting photos.  We'll see how that goes.  Maybe it'll be a good chance to clean house, my house could really use it.
