Another bout of important knowledge to follow

Apparently beer worsens a stuffy nose. You can imagine my surprise. And perhaps you can also imagine then, how positively necessary it was to wear a Breathe Right* strip at Friday's on Monday night.

My dear friend Cristen monogrammed it for me (to be safe; those things are always walking out of purses and into the hands of the young).
And I swear to you that as soon as I put it on, my nose literally expanded. My nostrils could have held Sharpies. Not that I tried. I'm just saying.
