way to be, 2010.*

i’m staring this year out suck-tacularly.

we have all been sick. i fought and fought and fought it but yesterday….i lost the battle. we’ve missed christmas at the lake, partying on new years, visiting lynne & nigel in the hospital, and currently….matt’s missing the bills game. he’s been sick a lot longer than i have. last night i had a ridiculous fever (you could have fried an egg on my ass, it was ridiculous). the aches and chills were SO BAD! at one point i was wearing a t-shirt, a hoodie, a snuggie, a sheet, a fleece blanket, and comforter…and STILL couldn’t stop shivering!

that part of it seems to be a little more under control today, but my throat is another story. i think this virus (whatever it is) is now settling in my glands to be fought, and they are sooo sore and swollen that i can feel them touching in my throat. it’s disgusting.

one good thing came of this. i discovered a sicky poo "cocktail".
it soothes your throat & tummy, and has some vitamin C to help fight the sickies.

you need….
ice
sprite or sierra mist
orange juice

mix that all together and you have a virgin mimosa.it’s yummy and fizzy and just perfect.
i’ve been downing them constantly.

other updates (before i go crawl back under my snuggie and almost die):

-lynne had her baby boy! she went into labor on new years eve. after monitoring her for a while they decided he needed to be delivered. he was 4lbs 130z (tinyyy!) but 21" long which is longer than luke was!! (he was 20.5"). he was born at 4:01pm on the 1st, and his name is Nigel Lars. i can’t wait to meet him!!!! i wanted to go visit lynne in the hospital this weekend, but the sickies had other plans. i’m so sad about that 🙁

-i’m about to be finished with 20 scrapbook pages since christmas. the 20th is just waiting for it’s cricut pieces. i’m at the point (i scrap chronologically) where luke is home from the hospital with his first few visitors. soo i’m about….11.5 months behind. oye.

-it has been snowing like CRAZY the last few days. i mean, wicked crazy. and especially today. i could just be "out of practice" and not be used to this but there’s a least 1.5′ of snow out there (that’s feet, not inches). it has snowed 5 inches (at least) since this morning and it is coming down HARD still! they said 3-7" by 6pm, so the fact that we already have 5" and still have 7 hours to go….and there’s wind gusts apparently on their way….could = blizzard! this would be way more fun if i wasn’t terribly sick.

edit;

i’ve been sitting in the recliner with the laptop, searching my fav scrap blogs and such. i was feeling pretty decent so i decided to get up and make myself another sicky poo cocktail and heat up some crock pot chicken noodle soup from last night. turns out it was much more of an ordeal than i imagined. as soon as i stood up i felt like falling over. SO. i have a full belly and a yummy drink, and i’ve decided to stay put and play online since it’s all i can do without feeling passy-outy. expect many-a new years-like entry ahead 🙂
