The Daily What

Go to the link to read about what this crazy chick is up to.  I really can see myself doing this for someone… ok, I actually would be super stoked if someone did this for me.  There I said it.   The Daily What.

Add Me to the List

Ok, add me to the rest of the crazy women you know.  I saw New Moon today.  I purchased the tickets online because I was afraid that they would be packed (so wrong on that thought).  Button, HS, and I met at the theatre early to make sure we got seats.  Now, know that this theatre is known for way overselling movies.  So the movie was set to start just after 11… we got there at 9:30.  I know it was super early but we got amazing seats.

The movie was good.  I liked the action.  And the suspense between Bella and Jacob was very believable.  All in all it was a good sequel and I’m looking forward to the next installment.

NSV!!

NSV for those that haven’t spent any time in any local weight loss meetings means Non Scale Victory.  Things like trying on your “thin” pants and having them fit.  Or in my case I knew that my pants were getting a bit on the large side (yeah!) but really didn’t have time to go shopping for new ones.  Until I sneezed and my pants fell down.  Yup.  There I was in the kitchen (alone, thank goodness) and my pants were around my knees.  Leave it to me.  I had to laugh.  And promptly made arrangements to go shopping the next day.

One Heck of a Week

Today is our anniversary.  I’ve spent most of it sleeping on the couch.  No we’re not fighting.  We’re sick.

This nightmare of a week started Tuesday when I was teaching.  I had the “got a bit of a tickle cough” going on.  Only to wake up Wednesday with a heck of a temp.  We’re talking 102 when I left early from the office.  After a nice nap on the couch I went to my psych follow-up (part of the lap band program) and didn’t feel well at all there then it was off to the walk in clinic my primary care dr office offers.  I was so not happy with this experience.  Let’s just say that for people who are not feeling well sitting ALONE in a waiting area for two flipping hours makes you feel so much better.

Anyway, once I was seen by the triage nurse she told me to talk to the lap people.  Um, ok.  Let me word this carefully.  Getting my nostril pierced hurt less than getting my nasal passage swabbed.  Then because that went so well the lab lady decided that my throat should be swabbed as well.  Yippee.  At least these tests were of the rapid variety.  Both came up negative for flu and strep respectively.  Back to the exam room.  Dr comes in.  Dr says “well the tests were negative so looks like it’s viral.  Want a note for work?”  I really think that my eye was starting to twitch after that one.  So two hours waiting and about five minutes being seen I get a note for work and an order to call them if it gets worse and I can come back in (for another copay).  Not happening.  I went straight to bed only to wake up at about 2am with a temp of 103.2 and seeing sparkly things.  Good times.

Cool shower and sleeping on the couch helped to pull that temp down to a more manageable 100 or so.  Only to have to go to the surgeon’s office to get my first fill.  I waited five weeks for this I was going come hell-or-high-water.  Yeah, did attempted to do that.  Apparently the port where they inject the saline into the band has shifted somehow and I have to get my fill under x-ray.  But the lady that schedules these isn’t in until Monday.  Just getting better isn’t it.  Going back home to bed.

Silly me thought that I could teach that night.  HA!  Ok, it’s not like I could call and get a sub so I went in.  Got home and you betcha… 102 again.  Ugh.  See a pattern yet?  Stayed in bed Friday.  All day.  It would have been nice except now in addition to the fever I’m producing enough green garbage to sink a small barge.  Fast forward to today.  Sunday.  Anniversary.  Yeah, right.  He got a mini quiche breakfast because it was super easy and I felt bad about not doing anything else for the poor man… and back to bed.  I’ve got to go into work tomorrow.  Not sure how that will go but it will be done.  Prayer heals, right?  Yeah, let’s try that.

This WILL Come Out of My Mouth

My friend Shelly over at the world according to eggface made a statement the other day and I can SO see myself saying this.  So let’s call this a warning.  Now, let’s just see how long it takes for me to spit this little jewel out.

So yeah every once in awhile I start channeling Martha Freakin’ Stewart and shit like this happens…

I really love Shelly’s site.  It’s a super fun read with great recipes for bandies and non-bandies alike.  I’m saving up the protein ice cream recipes for when I finally get the ice cream maker attachment for my kitchenaid mixer.
