you all must be very loved for me to keep putting up these pictures of myself where anyone can see them. These pictures might start being fewer and farther between in the coming months =)


i can still see my feet. for now..

Im BAAAaaaaAAAAck

Or actually, the computer is back. We've been here, worried sick while the little machine was in the hospital, aka the MAC store. All is well now. This will be short. I just wanted to let everyone know that i'm still here and will blog again soon. For now, we have a little catching up to do with emails and wedding pictures and stuff like that.

ps brooks says his sweat only smells when he's stressed out. Just thought everyone should know =)

A guilty pleasure

Its a little embarassing, but I don't care.

I watched this season of the Bachelorette. The scary part is that somehow i actually CARED. The season finale was last night and (SPOILER ALERT) Jessie the snowboarder won, and the 2 are engaged (in real life too!! for now, at least). I really liked the single did from seatle but jessie was my favorite from the beginning. No, to all of you reading this, I hate to say it, but I'm not joking. Since I've been sick and you can watch any TV show online these days, it was probably bound to happen.

Last night, I told brooks the finale was coming on, and after explaining a few simple rules to him (mostly: no-talking-or-making-fun-of-it-unless-its-a-commercial type stuff), HE, of his own will decided he wanted to watch it with me.
You know how on these types of shows, they try to up the drama and cheese with, "previously on the bachelorette...", followed by a long recap of the prior week's episode? Brooks didn't last through that recap. He said he couldn't handle it. thought you all might enjoy that.

So, to go with the cheesy show, ending and fluff of it all, I found you, my loyal readers an aptly and equally cheesy video from you tube. Enjoy, if you can handle it. I didn't even make it through this whole thing...

Happy Birthday Brother Josh!

Sorry I've been slacking on the blog lately. I'm using the sick card on this one. Not only because i'm...sick and feel like pooh, but also, i've been doing nothing, really, except working on getting better (so far to no avail), so there really isn't much news around here. But heres a short list of updates:

- its my brother josh's birthday-- yay. i'll be giving him a call after i save up some voice
- brooks got in a fight, and you should see the other guy, (the other guy is a sawhorse that didnt feel like getting in the van) but he is healing nicely. His "shiner" is almost gone and theres just a little scab where the gaping wound was =). He looks really tough.
- i love ice cream
- i'm hoping they found a sub to be the school nurse, but i feel too bad too call and ask. Plus, i don't want to talk if i dont have to.
- my parents sold the house =(.
- i REALLY can't think of anything else =)

Lame

Brooks has been sick for about 2 weeks- fluish, coldish, you know. I don't "catch" things. I don't worry about sharing water glasses and all that stuff. I don't even worry about being a school nurse with sniffly, feverish kids all day-- until now. Did you know that pregnany lowers your immune system? I just found that out.
The nurse had to call in sick yesterday and today. Someone is covering me for my home health job. I have a very small amount of voice left and usually save it for phone calls, to the school, for example. All the vitamins (i'm chugging C), cough drops and the variety of medicine i can take (acetaminophine.) aren't working yet. This is the first time, in the 4 1/2 years i've known him, that brooks has seen me with a cold. crazy, huh? I'm just hoping this isn't strep...i check a few times a day for those tell tale little white patches in my throat. so far, so swollen, and without patches.
Even though Brooks is sick too, he made his outrageously comforting, hearty, warm, perfect, aromatheraputic chicken soup last night. SO good, its ridiculous...he does it right. it takes about a day and a half to make and literally makes you fell better instantly. If only I could get it in IV form. He used two chickens this time, so there are leftovers aplenty....so that shall be breakfast.

Tuesday, bloody tuesday

I should watch what I wish for. Its been busy, and I need a nap =).
