Hi, my name is Zitty! I'm a zit picker. (Hi, Zitty!)
Remember me? The girl who just three days ago said she was going to "cut herself some slack" and "let her hair down"? HA! I've had an extremely busy weekend, have pushed myself to complete several tasks that needed to be tackled, helped Brian FINALLY finish his science fair project from hell that's due Thursday, attending basketball games, registered children for baseball, went grocery shopping, tended to sick children, tended to sick relatives, cooked, cleaned, did laundry, you name it, I'm your girl! So, how does my body repay me for doing good deeds and chuggin' along even when I was pooped? It unloads the biggest, ugliest, zit you can imagine, right smack dab in the center of my chin, that's how!
I know they tell you not to pick a pimple, that it will make it worse, leave it alone and it will go away by itself. (right, not buying it!) However, every time I look in the mirror and see that Mount St. Helen of a zit staring back at me, I just have to pinch it, just a little, to let it know how really ticked off I am that it has decided to take up residence on my face! How dare it??
I've tried using cover up and face powder and it just ends up looking like some big powdered donut on my chin. I'm waiting for someone to tell me, "Excuse me, you have a little crumb on your chin there". Um,..no...it's not edible, but thanks!
It doesn't seem hardly fair at all, I'm 43 years old, I went through all this when I was 16, I truly do not need to relive that experience, really. It wasn't that great the first time!
I have a basketball game to go to this morning for my older son, I wouldn't miss it for the world, but I'm honestly feeling very self conscious about this pimple. Maybe if I wear a turtleneck sweater and pull it way up I can tuck my chin and it's new inhabitant inside? If not, I'm afraid I'll have to make introductions to the other parents. "Hi! Have you met my new Zit? She's a beauty isn't she?".
This blog will now be called "Life According to Lizzy and her great big Zitty". 'Nuff said. Have a good one people!

Oh - that sucks! You have had one busy weekend too! You need to live next door to me so we could have gone to the lake for the weekend - leave all the "chores" behind - relax for a while! I hope it clears up! And ... have a good Monday - I'll see you later. Kellan
BWAHAHAHA...Lizzy and Her Big Zitty...BWAHAHAHA! Now, you just have to know that it wouldn't be much of a leap for me to add something on there having to do with titties, but I will refrain. Which will probably cause me to grow the twin to your zit! Doncha just hate those? It isn't right, it just isn't right. Especially when you're also having hot flashes, night sweats and hormone-induced crazy-ness. Which leads you to believe that the middle-aged zits are payback for not having them when you were supposed to! And that thing about not picking? Yeah, right!
And just in case you didn't read it over at Kellan's, I will be your new roommate when we move next door to her. And we're all going to her lake together. The two of you won't even have to talk to me; I don't care as long as I get to be at her lake. But I know you both will eventually talk to me anyway :). When you get to know me in person, I'm pretty hard to resist--HAHA! And we can compare zitties.
It's the stress, Lizzy, and unfortunately the body. I had bad acne as a teenager, thought I got rid of it in my early 20s (major treatment, talking brutal Accutane, which worked, but NOT fun). And then after kids, well, not to bad, but once I hit 40, well, zits are inhabiting the beard area. Lover-ly!!!! I'm a picker too, horrible.
Hope the rest of the week lets up, and the zit disappears soon too.
I think we should all move next to Kellan, I think that lake house would be great acne therapy too!
Well jeesh, I guess anytime I get the urge to eat today I can just come here and read that first paragraph! :)
Lizzy, this happens to me all the time. The more crap I put on it, the more it sticks out like "Mount St. Helen"
Thanks for the giggle... Hello have you met my zit?
Too funny!
Life according to zitty....ah, that is funny...er, I mean, NOT funny, NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
it is all the stress, I am sure. TRY not to pick, as hard as it is, but a picked zitty is not pretty.
Surprisingly, I haven't typed titty instead of zitty.
Oh, I hate zits! Not that any of us love 'em, right? I just received an email from a co-worker about natural remedies....
Honey: remedy for skin blemishes. Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.
Hope it helps!
It's the stress I tell ya. You aren't alone on this one. I think it is unfair that women have to go through child birth,,,and then have all the hormonal things that happen afterwards. C'mon, do I really need to be shedding worse than a dog? And why is my skin breaking out? Seriously, child birth wasn't enough? Months of being sick and huge, and then the big day, c'mon already!
I must say though, this weekend I ran into "that girl" you know the one who always looks perfect, in style, hair nice, in shape.... and guess what...she is human because she looked like hell!! I was so excited and giddy, it made me feel much better. Isn't that sad- pray for me.
I'm so with you. I got a break when I was pregnant, but that was short-lived.
LOL - a powdered donut! I will be laughing about that one for days. Sorry to hear about your "blemish." For the record, I am 34 and still get them too and I cannot just leave them alone!

It's a lie anyway. I've tried not picking, and they last for weeks that way. If you pick it, its gone in 48 hours.
Sounds like my life! Basketball games, baseball signups, school projects, laundry. Glamorous life! I usually just avoid people when I get a zit.
Too funny Lizzy. I laughed out loud at your title Lizzy and her great big zitty. I guess no matter how old we get when zits hit so does the self consciousness. Oh to be young again..........ok maybe not ;-)
Have a great day!
I want it noted that I "left one alone" last week - didnt touch it at all cuz hubby kept saying "it will just get worse."
So, I left it alone and it got BIGGER!!!
I woke up with a gross white head thingy the size of a dinner plate!! Who can leave THAT alone?
It erupted like Mt.Vasuvius (sp?) when I finally touched it!
Not to mention the pain! It was like an undergroung HEARTBEAT on my chin! It felt like it was going to burst at any second.
Screw that, I'm attacking those SOB's on day one from now on.

How ya doing Lizzy- recover from that hectic weekend of yours yet?
Yeah, Lizzy, where are you? Has the Zit taken over? Will the next post YOU or Zitabulous?
That really stinks! Unfortunately I can really relate right now, as this pregnancy has produced so many mountains on my face...Of course I would also be lucky enough to have the kind that you just can't pop!
I hope its clearing up for you, and I have to thank you for this post..it really made me smile just reading your description :)
I misread your last statement to read, "Have a good day pimple!" LOL
Seriously, love you doll . . .and teach that zit a lesson it won't soon forget!
