sick boys...

oh man. I'm not having the wednesday I planned on... I stayed home from work today to take care of my two sick boys - DJ is not feeling well and poor Ollie isn't doing too hot either. One doctors appt and a prescription for Nexium later hopefully DJ will be feeling better soon... $200 at the vet later Ollie seems to be in better spirits too...

....and me? well I had the pleasure of cleaning up loads of poop off the carpet for the past 24 hours (Ollie's not DJ, hah) and feeding Ollie prescription dog food every two hours with a spoon... I guess this is good prep for when sweet pea comes! ha... seriously though.... the Bissell Little Green has become my new best friend...

so that was my wednesday... oh and we got a crapton (yes thats a technical term) of packages - including DJ's 30th birthday present - his new watch! I was a nice wife and gave it to him early....

fun, huh?

So that's that, my craptastic (pun intended) wednesday - now I'm off to the apple store to see why snow leopard won't install on my "vintage MacBook" - maybe ill be coming home with a new computer...??

Haha... wishful thinking.

seriously though...

sick days.

so the past few days have been pretty ridiculous... Monday I came home with the chills and a fever, Tuesday I sucked it up and went to work since we had the Dispatch concert that night [the was amazing, but a story for another post] then Wednesday I woke up and had enough with feeling like crud and called the doctor... they were jam packed but said if I got there by 9:15 they would squeeze me in [my doctor is amazing] so I went and after some poking and prodding it turns out I may have strep throat.... ugh. 


I gargled with lidocaine yesterday every two hours [and it made me barf, yup, awesome] and woke up today still feeling terrible and went to pick up my penicillin to "kill the strep" - so here I am on day 2 out of the office.... still feeling like pretty gross but I have faith that tomorrow I will feel better and be good to go [I mean, it's friday, I will feel better for the weekend].


I also realized this morning, I had a meeting with a student yesterday that I didn't show up for.... I didn't even tell her I wasn't coming into the office, no call, no email, nothing. major fail on my part. oops. I hate when people don't show up and/or are late [especially without notice] and I am huge in instilling that into my students... way to role model early. oops. I'm going to email her today and take her out to lunch next week to make it up to her. [bribery, I'm not above it]


anyways, as ridiculous as I feel the upside to being sick is being able to be sloth-like for the past two days [aka sweatpants only, no brushing my hair, cuddling with the pup and watching plenty of trash tv] here are some prime examples...


I watched this weeks episode of PLL... I'm so interested to see where they take the story line, it almost makes me want to reread the books... I know, I'm such a tween it's pathetic.

I watched the 1998 Lindsay Lohan version of "The Parent Trap" - seriously, she was so adorable before she turned into a crackhead. DJ tried to delete it off the DVR after I finished watching it. Clearly after he saw my face he realized that was NOT going to happen. Come to think of it, I just may watch it again today... 

I watched Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition - now, I have a huge love/hate relationship with this show. I love it, but I hate that it makes me cry like 35 times... seriously, I start crying when they do the intro... and pretty much don't stop... but it is so inspiring and you just find yourself so invested in the people and their journey. I definitely suggest watching it if you haven't already - just get the kleenex ready, especially if you're a crier like me! ALSO, I am starting to have a serious crush on Chris Powell, he's unreal and such a good guy [he is also quite easy on the eyes, if you're picking up what I'm putting down]

I felt like I was back in college yesterday eating ramen noodles for lunch, yes they were just as tasty as I remembered... 

I got plenty of cuddletime with this guy...

I watched The Voice with DJ... it's weird, he loves the show - I think it's okay. The one thing I do like about it is the coaches - I mean, Adam Levine is just well, yeah, he's pretty. very, very, pretty. Then there's Blake Shelton, he's such a teddy bear, aahh I just want to hug him.  You can tell they're all so invested in the people they're coaching - it's pretty adorable.

then I finally [I know I watched a lot of TV yesterday] watched SYTYCD.... aah. so good. I don't know who is going home tonight [especially since 4 are going home?!], I am starting to fall in love with a few of the contestants though [melanie and miranda, aahh they're amazing!]

I may or may not currently be watching "My Future Boyfriend" [I DVRed it like a month ago thinking it was perfect mindless tv for a sloth day]... yes, it's as cheesy as it sounds and I LOVE it.

oh and today is the last day to get free shipping on $25 or more at Victoria Secret and it's their semi-annual sale... hmmm.... I might see some online shopping in my future [cross your fingers I've hit "purchase" before DJ sees this... I love you honey, let's go buy you some software and call it even!] 

in other news, I think the penicillin and coffee mixture going on in my stomach is making me a little loopy... getting dizzy... must lay down... no seriously, feels like I drank a bottle of wine and chased in with a pack of ciggs... gross. back to the horizontal position for me. too bad someone is hogging the couch...

hope you're all feeling better than I am!

insert creative blog title about my weekend here....

oh what a weekend - hell, what a week... my poor husband has been working like crazy (his second cafe opened on Tuesday) and running on E so I went down to see him at the new cafe on (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and) Friday night with our friends Ben & Ian - we had a great dinner and went to the restaurant next door for drinks. As always, it was so good to catch up with Ben and Ian and just talk, laugh and share. We headed home early as DJ was exhausted (fell asleep on the car ride home).

The next day, Danny worked - I went to crossfit, took Oliver for a walk and hung out with Jenny & Will... The three of us went to have brunch at the Cafe and then went up to Beartown State Forest to look at pretty leaves... of course I didn't have my camera but it was REALLY beautiful! Danny came home later that afternoon and passed out - I tried to nap but ended up just playing sudoku... then we met up with Will & Jenny for gyros for dinner and went to a bonfire. The bonfire was interesting enough, just not for me... cold, smokey, and outside.... enough said. I can't lie it was entertaining watching young girls dance like idiots and make fools of themselves - seriously... get help. Then we went downtown and had a few drinks before heading home...

Then Sunday came around - aka day of my mental break with reality... no, seriously - it was bad. DJ and I got up took the dog for a walk, he got a haircut, I got an attitude. I don't know what it was but I just was having a day where nothing felt right - awesome. we went to our friends Iona and Dan's wedding - which I'll post about later this week... the wedding was beautiful, personal, and just captured the two of them so well! While at the wedding I decided that prohibition was coming back and this would be my last opportunity to drink wine - so I drank WAAAY too much wine. Now I don't know about you guys but waaay too much wine usually results in not great things for this gal... yesterday was no exception - one big fight with my husband and a lost iPhone later... ugh. yuck.

wait? did you read that correctly? no - not the fighting with my husband part, lets be real everyone does that - I LOST MY IPHONE. I have the shakes... okay, that might be from the hangover but also because I really need my phone....

{via}

...it has everything - not just the ability to communicate, all my numbers, 500 pictures of Oliver and don't even get me started on wordswithfriends, twitter or facebook... AAHHH. AND I'm definitely not eligible for an upgrade OR rich so this is a problem. I keep calling it and it just keeps ringing. I'm going to go out to where the wedding was (outdoors) later today before I go to the dentist.

Are you kidding me. This is the worst day ever - hangover, can't find my iPhone AND I have to go to the dentist. can I go back to bed now? Okay, I'm off to go sing Daniel Powter lyrics into my coffee.

barf.

yuck... and yay!

yuck:
came home sick from work and low and behold DJ's car was in the driveway... we're both sick and it's NO fun. I feel like one sick puppy....
