Back from the brink (of death)!

Well I got some kinda nasty virus that has been going around. Either I got it from my brother, while I was in Chicago, or I got from some typhoid Mary on the plane ride back, or I got it from Aaron who was sick when I got home. Regardless, I think this virus was trying to kill me. Last night I was soooo sick, I could barely move. Everything was achy, and I had a temperature of 102.4, even though I was shivering all over and sweating like a pig. To make matters worse, my monthly visitor pooped over yesterday too, whatabitch!

Anyway, I took some nyquil last night and fell asleep sometime around 9ish. Sometime during the night my fever broke because I had to take off my fleece sweater that I went to bed in when I was freezing cold. This morning my temp was only 99.1, and I don't feel all the ridiculous aches and pains. I am still stuffed up and have a sore throat, but I feel much better. Woo hoo! Live to fight another day!

Pictures!

I posted most of the pictures on my facebook book page cuz it's way easier to do it there, but for some reason one of my pictures didn't go up. So here it is!


This is a view of the Chicago skyline from my parents' place on the South Lakeshore. If you want to see the rest of the pictures from my trip go here (hope that works!)

Happy New Year!

I just got home today from being in Chicago for a week. I was extremely lucky in that neither one of my flights was delayed for any reason and flying in both directions was rather uneventful.

I got to see a lot of old friends and people I haven't seen in a while, which is always awesome! Got to see fireworks on New Years Eve which is the best. Mrs. Butterface and the Sturgeon came out with me on New Year's too and it's insane how easy it is to pick up where you left off with people even if you haven't seen them for a long time. I also finally got to meet the newest member of our family, Adrianna, who is the cutest little thing I've ever seen EVER. Literally. She's such a happy go lucky baby. I went in to her room after her nap and she was sitting up in her crib smiling and when she saw me she clapped her hands and stood up and put her hands up in the air immediately cuz she wanted to be picked up. You don't get much cuter than that.

I got home today around quarter to 5 and Aaron and I ate a bunch of carbs and attempted to watch a movie together except I fell asleep. I'm happy to be home with the boyfriend again even though I really am missing the city now.

I have a bunch of New Year's resolutions this time around but I'm so tired I don't even want to list them right now. Needless to say, 2008 was not a very good year for me. I really don't feel like I accomplished much and I let myself go in a lot of ways. I've got to step it up a notch, and get myself together so I can be a happier and more productive person.

Well that's all I got for now. I will post some pictures soon once I get off my butt and get them on the computer. Ta ta!
