Sick, sick, sick...

Why does it seem that whenever I start a new job I get really sick the night before? It makes me SO MAD!

Last night I started feeling sick, and this morning, full blown Flu. I have a 101 degree fever, and a dry cough that makes my brains come out of my ears. I hate this. I went to work today, regardless, and it did not help my situation. At least I have a decent job though, right?

Anyway, I am almost done with my book, the first one I have read in ages! I am so proud of myself, and I actually enjoy reading it, too!

This will be a short post, I am sorry, I should be "blogging" more, it's something I love doing.. I just can't sit up for much longer.. I may need another bath, it's been about 3 hours since I took Tylenol and I can feel my fever creeping on back...

I am just going to say, before my pic of the day, that my husband is definitely, the BEST one. Serious, I know everyone says that, but mine really surpasses all of the Husbands in the world. The reason I love him so much tonight, besides him running a bath for me, drying me off as I shivered, letting me where his cozy long johns, and making me excessive amounts of tea and hot soup, is a little present he brought home for me tonight :).. We have been watching a lot of our new favorite show "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" for a while now, and have collected the first and second season, which we quickly devoured, so he was on a quest to get the third tonight, and me being in my grumpy sick state told him we couldn't afford to pay full price, and we would buy it next week.. he decided to sell some of our old movies, and try to buy it, against what I was thinking, so I got pissed, but he went anyway. It turns out, the show was priced much lower then last time, and he even had left over credit, so what does he get? He gets something that he would never buy ever, something he would always make fun of me for wanting, and would never want anyone thinking he was buying it for himself, but, even though I'm sure he tried his best to convince the clerk it was for his sick wife, he bought me, 4 Michael Jackson buttons. I couldn't believe it! You have no idea how hard this was for him, but he did it, because he loves me. And that, is pretty awesome.

This wasn't short at all.. but now I definitely have a fever.. so goodnight.

I MISS YOU SO EFFING MUCH!!!!!!!

pic of the Day:

Today was quite uneventful. I start work at The Body Shop on Tuesday. :)

Here is the daily pic.. it is GORGEOUS! I can't wait until the weekend when I go up Millcreek Canyon, it's going to be beautiful.

I am so not looking forward to cleaning. I hate it actually.

I keep telling myself, start at two thirty, OK three thirty, now I want to start at four. Ugh.. I have to clean my room, the bathroom, and the kitchen.. shouldn't take me too long but god I am so lazy. 

Anyway, Yoga tonight, then I have to do some of my routine exercise that my awesome Trainer Rosalyn made for me. She is such a sweetheart, I love my gym.

I'm making some tasty bites and freezing my ass off because I just left the back door open so my crazy dogs could run like rabid gerbils all over the place, barking and growling and screeching and driving me completely crazy. 

I need to do some more art.. read a bit, who knows what else tonight, maybe I'll go to Zombieland with David tonight, I know he really wants to see it, and I could use a date with my Husband.

I have decided to mimic my Fave. Blogger Dooce, (if you don't know who that is, you can check her out here) by posting a daily photo. Now it may not be one I have taken but I will give credit to the photog. I mainly want to do this because I love looking at gorgeous photos, and I hope you will too :)

Found this awesome photo of some really beautiful October colors.. I love this time of year.

Wind..

It's getting quite stormy around SLC, and I love it! It was so windy.. and awesome in every way.

I worked out today, and I got a book, and a new journal, and some new pj's and some yoga pants. I am a happy girl. This will be a quick post.. I'm taking a shower and then watching "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" we just bought the first and second season. 

It's late, I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I hate it!! I have nothing to do yet I am compelled to stay awake, and whenever I think of the prospect of sleeping I get bad anxiety that causes me to feel nauseous. Shit.

Been feeling a little sad lately.
So the other day I ran into my ex-"fiance"( im putting the " in because I doubt we were really ever going to get married, I was only 15 when I met him) at Olive Garden with my mother. He was there with his wife Mallory and what seemed to be his new born Son. It was very strange, brought back a lot of horrible memories and sadly I let them get to me.
I feel bad for this girl, Mallory. I can't imagine how many time's he might have beaten her or cheated on her. I know at least once... with me.
I am very happy to be Married to someone who treats me with respect. Someone I enjoy to be around, someone who doesn't physically hurt me.
I didn't like seeing him.
Anyway, I really wish I liked myself a little more. Had more confidence, maybe, or even just thought I was pretty again. I have a personal trainer now, so I hopefully am on my way to shedding fifteen or so pounds, because I feel fat, and I feel ugly. It's hard, I have never had to worry about my weight ever in my LIFE and now all of a sudden I am crying over stretch marks and rolls that didn't use to be there.
Anyway, I didn't mean for this post to be a Pitiful one, but sometimes I just need to get it out.

It got me.

Yes, the Cold got me. I am sick :( Booo. I just got over a virus that didn't leave me alone until just last week too! It is horrible. I am all dizzy and sniffly and Feverish and it is horrible. I wish I could just leave my body right now.
My lovely mother is getting me some Vegetarian Chicken Noodle soup so that should be delicious. Ugh, I just want this to go away, alas the computer is my only entertainment.

Tonight, tonight.

Today was quite eventful. I had a lovely facial with a woman named Jill, who is my "skincare specialist", she works for a woman named Cheryl who has her own skincare line. It's pretty good stuff, expensive, but worth it.

You can check out her website here.

Anyway, I am so sore today. I think it is safe to say that my workout yesterday kicked my butt. I can barely walk or sit or stand for that matter, I think I aged 80 years.

I got some takeout with my mom, one of my Favorites, Spaghetti Factory. I know is kind of, um, for kids but it brings back memories. I have to just say that the one in Trolly Square is by far the best, they are so sweet! The cook messed up my order, so we called in, went and picked up the corrected order, but when we brought it home they had ended up giving us a repeat of everything we had ordered the first time, and even a gift certificate for two free entrees! So awesome!

After I spent some time with my most dear friend, Kelsy.

There are a million reasons why I love this woman.
She has been one person I can completely and fully trust. Probably the only one. She is always there for me. She is so so so smart, and talented, and just such a loving and caring person. She is one of those people where you don't have to dress up, you don't have to do your hair, or put on makeup to be around. She is the only friend I feel this way about. I don't have to try so hard, I don't have to be someone I am not. It's funny that she makes me feel like I am a little kid again, and sometimes when I am with her I am completely calm, and at peace.
She is going to be 18 this month. I can't believe it! I have known her through thick and thin.. it's awesome.

Anyway, that's all, she is just so awesome and dear to my heart, I thought you should meet her.

Sore.

Today I am reminded why I hate working out.
I am so sore I can barely move, it's good though, because I know I am getting results. :)
Today my brother-in-law Michael is coming to spend the weekend, he lives in Provo, but our house is pretty much like his second home.
I'll take pictures.

I am so anxious for the Holiday's to start. I love Halloween, it's definately one of my favorite Holiday's, besides Christmas. I just love seeing everyone, I love being in a big family, I feel like I was adopted, finally.
David has ten siblings, I am an only child. They include: Katherine, Melissa, Ann, Brenda, Patricia, Elise, Blake, Michael, & Eric. That's not including all the in-laws and the kids! It's so awesome, I am so lucky. Christmas is always fun, Ann is always in the Kitchen cooking treats, the kids are always playing games, and there is always hot Apple Cider to be had. It's such a cozy get-together.

Anyway, this Halloween I think I am going to paint my face like this:


I stumbled across it and love it.
I am also going to do some mean pumkin carving, I am totally obsessed with Martha Stewart's Halloween idea's for decorating and pumkin carving.. I am so excited, I am counting down the days!

Oh! Almost forgot I am getting a facial! Bye!

Well, I'm not usually a two-a-day poster, but I can't sleep.... my insomnia has gotten the better of me. "My Name Is Earl" is on, and I really don't understand what people find entertaining about this show... (sorry if you love it).

Anyway, I have a very lovely scene right now... my beautiful most perfect Husband is asleep, resting for another day's work of hard labor to support us. How did I get so lucky?

On the other side of my lovely husband, is one of our dogs, Moose.

I am just so in love with my Husband.
Goodnight.

Firstsies.

Ok, I shouldn't say "first" this isn't my first post in a blog because I have had a few before.. maybe this one will stick though, eh?




First entry, first entry.

Today I went to Olive Garden with my Mother. It became an interesting event since I saw this horrible horrible person in the Bar. His name is Kris, when I was 15 years old, I moved to Washington with him and undoubtedly made the worst decision of my entire adolescents. No child at fifteen should ever make or need to make that decision, but I think I just grew up to fast, or chose "a different life path" as my mother would like to call it.

Anyway, that was the highlight/low light of my day, except I went and trained today, AT AN ACTUAL GYM! I know, I could hardly believe it myself.

My dogs are so cute right now, I wish you could see them... my wonderful perfect husband David is sitting on the couch watching a horror movie called "Midnight Meat Train" yes, it is as terrible as you think...

I am going to sip on some Sleepytime tea (my fav.) and eat, something.. because I am hungry.

I'm sorry if someone happens to stumble across my sad little blog, but it is only the beginning, and hopefully an O.K. start to a new and exciting friendship.
