I got zapped

Ugh! I got zapped with a lovely summer cold. I have the chills, a nasty cough, sniffles and runny nose, sneezing, congestion... the works. It is awful. If I can't knock this crud out in the next day or so, then I will be forced to go to the doc.

My husband is so sweet. He said, "My wife is sick and there's nothing I can do to help her." He really means it too. He did make me some lunch and told me he would check on me later when he gets a chance at work.

I shouldn't even be at the computer right now, I should be in bed, but I had to check a few things on ebay and I wanted to vote for my favorites on I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of Here. That show really surprised me. At first, I thought it would be kind of stupid, but I actually really like it and the celebrity contestants have really grown on me. I hope Lou Diamond Phillips or John Salley wins. I also like Torrie Wilson.

I will make this a short post because I need to get myself back in the bed. I really hope this sickness works it's way out of my body fast. Yuck.

The Simple Woman's Daybook

I am starting to morph into the happy little homemaker since Alan and I got married in February. I am LOVING being a wife! I was just introduced to The Simple Woman's Daybook and I want to share some thoughts with you.

Outside my window ~ What seems to be another sweltering day in June in Texas. Whew!

I am thinking ~ How lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband. He takes care of me and I take care of him. We are very blessed. Incidentally, I am also thinking I need to hurry up and get in the shower because my sister in law will be here any minute. We are going to the mall to buy Krisha a lingerie gift for her bachelorette party. Even though I am not going to the party, I still wanted to get her a gift.

From the learning room ~ I have just began doing some bible studies on my own and I am kicking myself for not having started this sooner.

From the kitchen ~ I just made homemade quesadillas (chicken). I just love it when Alan sits down to eat and I hear Mmmmm.

I am wearing ~ Pink tank top and capri jeans, barefoot

I am reading ~ Besides the bible, I am reading James Patterson "Pop Goes the Weasel" and about to start Tori Spelling's "Mommywood".

I am hoping ~ I can finish cleaning this house by this weekend. I am still clearing out boxes and books that we need to either take to goodwill or ebay. One room at a time right?

I am creating ~ New recipes for Alan to try, so far so good. :)

I am praying ~ For a family member in crisis and for my father who is undergoing a back procedure today.

Around the house ~ Almost got everything in it's place after all the wedding gifts. Still have some loose ends but for the most part, we are looking good over here.

One of my favorite things ~ Our new blender, it is so great! I have been making some great concoctions with our new little blender. It's one of those really nice ones with the multi blades. It's great for crushing ice, too.

A few plans for the rest of the week ~ More cleaning, going to Walgreens to print some wedding photos for family members who are upset that we haven't distributed any wedding photos yet. We know it's already been 4 months people, we apologize. Also, I have a date with my husband to go to Olive Garden on Saturday and then Sunday, we are going to Arlington to see my Dad on Father's Day.

I am looking forward to ~ Seeing my Dad. I haven't seen him since the wedding. I am also looking forward to continuing this daybook!

Have a wonderful day!

Just Surgery That's All

I went to the doctor this morning and I do indeed have to go into surgery on Friday. It is a female issue and it is only day surgery, but surgery is surgery right? I hate the anesthesia. That part really bothers me.

My husband is being so awesome about the whole situation. Men never really quite get it when it comes to a female problem and why would they? But he is really being great.

The surgery is called a endometrial laparoscopic surgery. Three incisions and home the same day. I just hope this does the trick and that I no longer have the pain. Incidentally, the doc said he will also check my tubes and make sure they are wide open for me when we decide to start trying. That's a good thing.

I have to go to the hospital in the morning for pre op. It is supposed to take 2-3 hours. Yikes. I know everything will be ok, just sometimes it feels better to write about it.

Still, any prayers you'd like to throw my way would be greatly appreciated! :)

Facebook

I have to tell you that I am enjoying Facebook a little bit! I actually did not think I would like it because I grew tired of Myspace so fast and deleted my account. Facebook seems much simpler and it seems to be more about reconnecting with friends than anything else. I have been able to send friends messages that I have thought about over the years and wondered how they are or what they are doing and it's fun! To me, it's not about who has the best background on their page or the most friend requests, it's truly about talking to your friends and catching up after all the years have gone by. Believe me, I would not add a person to my Facebook page if I wouldn't have a cup of coffee with them in real life.

It is wonderful to see so many of my friends happy with their spouses and some with children. It is so nice to go down memory lane with friends, too. Sometimes I am amazed at the things we do as children and teenagers with little regard for danger, but the good Lord was watching over us wasn't he? I'm so happy to see my friends again and to see how amazing they still are.

Who really likes going to the dentist?

OK, so I went to the dentist yesterday to get my temporary crown and I seriously thought I was going to die in that chair. You know the shrill of the drill? That piercing noise that is similar to nails on a chalkboard? She says, "I will only drill about 2 business cards as far as thickness". Does that even make sense to you? I mean, it didn't to me, I was lying there all novacained up and drooling all over myself. Where is the dang suction thingy? I swear she drilled for like 45 minutes to an hour. Ugh!

Then I had to make the impression, you know, bite down in the goop to make an impression of your teeth. It was berry flavor and it was berry gross. I finally got out of there an hour and 45 minutes later. While I'm at the reception desk paying for the torture, the receptionist makes me an appointment to come back for the permanent crown in 2 weeks. Even with our dental insurance, I still owe a couple hundred dollars, geez. Seems so unfair. I really didn't want to come back, but I have already paid for the crown and I might as well finish this once and for all.

I hope I never have another toothache. I almost want to give up drinking Cokes and eating sweets. Nah.

Picture posted

Finally.

Picture is coming

I know I need to post a pic. I am going to post a cute one of me and Alan at our wedding soon.
