I'm Back...Part 2!

Oy.

Nothing like coming back from a nice Christmas vacation only to get knocked on your butt by a cold from Hell.

I came in to work Monday and Tuesday feeling like death and finally called in sick the rest of the week. That's why no new blogs, etc.

I hate calling in sick. It feels so irresponsible, especially since we JUST got back from Christmas vacay. But it's just not in my DNA to like leaving my co-workers in a lurch like that. I hate it. But I just could not continue dragging my phlegm and snot riddled self to the office. So I did what I never do and stayed home in bed. Ya'll, I think that is the worst cold I have had in YEARS. It actually even got me to go to the doctor which is something else I just never do.

Now. The doctor. Can I just say that I wish I could charge $70 for every ten minutes someone requests a meeting with ME???

No joke. I talked to the doctor all of ten minutes where-in he listened to my chest, checked my ears/eyes/glands and wrote me out a couple of prescriptions whilst basically calling me a big baby for bothering him. And all that for the low, low price of $70!

Ugh.

Seriously.

And I'm still hacking up my lungs every twenty minutes or so. Not. Fun. Or pretty.

Anyway, at this point, I'm pretty sure I don't even remember enough about Christmas to share much of that with ya'll. (You're welcome) But I'll try to at least share some of the photos later this week. We did a little mini-makeover to Lyssa's bedroom over the break as part of her Christmas present so I've got to show you that, if nothing else.

So until then...

xoxo

Thanks, Aunt B. I'm pretty much feeling as good as I ever do other than this annoying cough. I pampered myself all last week...tea, naps, fleece blankets and soup. Even sick, it felt so luxurious to have an actual excuse to go back to bed and take a three hour nap! haha

I am so glad I did not come home sick after spending Christmas with my sister. Getting the flu while there two years ago was NOT fun. So far I've managed to avoid both that and a cold, so very very happy. I do hope you are feeling better now.

(And yes, I am playing catch-up...I didn't realize I was so far behind with your blog--sorry!)

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
