and I feel……fine? Ask me again later. Pretty much a depressing sort of day. I quit before we closed our doors, so I can’t really complain. Okay, so maybe I can complain, but I won’t. I will revel in the compliments that our school was a wonderful experience for so many people. It’s the thing that kept me going when I wanted to throw in the towel, and the relationships and friendships I formed from there will have a special place in my heart for a very long time.

Jon and I are going out on a date tonight to just be together, so he can hold my hand and make me feel better. We are going to see Made of Honor and eat dinner at Chili’s. Just what I needed. Time with my favorite person.

I’ll be back later…..

I have bronchitis. Again.

Seriously? Wham-o, it came on suddenly since Friday. Must be why I wasn’t feeling stellar. I didn’t stay for Scrapbook night, instead I left a box of cream puffs and my eternal gratitude to my friends for holding the craft fort down while I went home and went to bed. Today I woke up with lots of chest pain and wheezing, so I went to see the doctor. I should just be able to write myself a prescription and save myself the 15 dollar co-pay. I was right. This is what happens when you mix webmd and experience with bronchitis at least 20 times in my lifetime. Oy.

On a random note, I can type 65 words a minute with less than 8 mistakes (the test said 1 mistake a min. is the gold standard, I say, “whatever”) and I can 10 key 6500 ksph. So what does that really mean and why should you care? Well that just means I can’t get a job unless I can type 65 wpm with no mistakes and have 10,000 ksph in 10-key. I mean I could get a job with my current skills, it just wouldn’t be a good one. LOL No really…I don’t think that is half bad and I think I would do just as well at another job. Reading all those job descriptions is a little daunting, but if I am going to look for another job someday, at least I have a goal in mind: become a robot.

I think I’ll go have an anti-biotic cocktail with an ice cream chaser….

The first 4 casualties of Season 7 are (drum roll please): Plus Size Model Joanne, Angelina’s Twin that can’t sing, Colton “The blond eyelashes” dude, and Garrett “throwback from the 70’s bad hair” guy. See, I can’t even remember them they were so unmemorable! I even tried to look up pictures, but I was too tired to wade through the American Idol website slide show with all 123 pictures. Ok, I found a pic of them, so I stole it! Shhh… (hat tip: idolbloglive.com )

It’s been a while since I posted. Since most of my readers are family anyway, they know what has been going on with our family. My Dad was diagnosed with Cancer recently and of course it’s been devastating for us all and we are learning to cope with it all. My Dad is a strong man and I know he’ll get through this the same way he got through many other issues in his life, with humor and strength and US!
So anyway, lots of stress, work, family, feeling funky my own self, and then my Mom ended up in the hospital! When it rains it pours! She was having trouble breathing, so she is there until she is better.

Upward Basketball is almost over and so we will get our weekends back starting next Sat. Yard work and spring cleaning are in the works. I might even finish painting my bathroom from 3 years ago! My friend Laura is working on a house they are renovating and last week I went to help out for a while. I noticed what a transformation a simple coat of white gloss paint can do, so I am inspired to grab a paintbrush and paint the trim all over our house because it is so yellow from age and wear. It will give our house a clean fresh look for not a lot of money.

So….I guess that is all I got for an update. I hope the bone crushing fatigue and the foggy fog will lift from my body and let me get back to doing what I want and need to do, life. I’m smiling on the inside, way deep down, just waiting for it to come to the surface. :o)

These last two weeks are by far the worst in my whole adult life. Work, illness, depression, and coping. Things I shouldn’t have to deal with, especially work, but I guess it could be worse, I could be sitting outside in a box begging for food money like this guy. Except, he had a cool sign and I  don’t.  I just have a t-shirt that says: WILL WORK 4 SHOES and I’M TOO PRETTY TO WORK!

Anywhoo…life sucks at the moment and I am dealing with it the best way I know how; lots of hugs from the people who love me and prayers and support. What more could a girl ask for?

I have been sitting here all day trying to come up with something to post for day 2 of Blog 365. No such luck. I looked at quizzes, surveys, and name generators. I thought about taking the stuff out of my purse and labeling everything. Boring. And… I would actually have to get up and take the picture. Too much effort. I might have to rethink this whole 365 days of blogging. Man, that is a lot of thought and brainpower for no pay, kind of like my job. Yuck Yuck.

Where do I sign up for blogging for pay? Oh wait, I would actually know how to write! Dang. Oh well..I’ll leave that to my husband whenever he gets around to it.
