I actually woke up this morning feeling about 99% normal. Yay! Go me! This crap (and I mean that quite literally) has been going on since Tuesday and it kicked my ass badly. I'd be laying on the couch, sweating, shaking, feeling like death, and to get up to go to the kitchen for a drink felt like it was a million miles away. Blech. And never mind eating. That wasn't happening at all.

Who gave me the germs? WHO? 'fess up.

Husband got up this morning saying he felt sick. Ugh. And I know nothing about male anatomy - besides the obvious - and he says he has a painful lump on his lower right area. What's up with that? And of course, being a man, he's convinced he's about to kick the bucket. So guys, weigh in here ... what's in that area? 'cuz I'm pretty sure I have an ovary or something there. Maybe I should call him at work and ask him is he's ovulating?

I know this is late, but I'm posting it anyway because I know I have a lot of friends here who like to bake. This is a great website, and although it's on a Santa site, I believe they leave it up all year and it has a shitload of great recipes. Seriously. Check it out.

You're welcome KG. I live to share.

Here's the new hair ... (all pictures can be clicked to enlarge ... if you want to)

You're only getting a back view because, as hard as Lee tried to take a good picture of me, it just wasn't happening. My fault, not hers. I'm kinda liking the colors, now that I'm getting used to it, and they've blended a little better. I think more red and blonde next time though. We'll see.

And since I've finally downloaded my camera, I'll annoy you with some Christmas pics ...

First ever store bought presents purchased by my daughter with her allowance money. Although I'm a sap, and prefer homemade stuff from her, I thought it was so totally cute how proud of herself she was. She got me some awesome slippers ... red with white furry trim and once says 'naughty' and the other says 'but nice'. She knows me so well. I love me some slippers. I can't remember what she got the Husband. Oh wait! She got him some earbuds for his iPod. Smart girl.

A few Christmas morning pics ...

And of course, the Husband being an idiot with the turkey, as he does every single year ...

Goofball. He's a little strange, my Husband.

This one's from the year before last, and I have to post it because Nat loses her mind everytime she sees it ...

Yep ... he's a whackjob.

And on that note, since I've been down for the count all week, I'm way behind in everything around this house.
More importantly, I need my nails done.
One already popped right off in the laundry machine. Geeezz.

Have a good weekend peoples!

PeeEss - The school board cancelled buses this morning. I went into the daughter's room, flicked on the lights and demanded to know why she wasn't out of bed yet (she has a bit of a problem with the getting out of bed thing) and she told me buses were cancelled 'on account of SMOG'.

On account of smog.

Yeah, that would be FOG.

And what's up with that anyways???

I guess they can't get a friday off due to snow or ice since we're in a deep-thaw ... so now it's FOG?

Or smog.

Whichever way you look at it. Hah.
