Sick

In more than one sense of the word.

I'm actually sick. With a cold. I think. I mean, if it's a cold that makes me want to take off my nose and suck all of the yucky stuff out and then somehow remove my throat so that I can't feel it being itchy, then yeah ... that's what I have.

In other news, I've been looking for really good blogs to read lately. I've found a couple that are hilarious and family friendly. Sometimes I read their exploits aloud to the hubby and we both get a huge kick out of others misfortune. I've also found some more "raunchy" blogs. One "AlwaysArousedGirl" catches me fancy. She discusses her sexual exploits, toys, and even the occasional blog about her divorce and her little girl.

One post that I found extremely interesting was the post about a "SaSI." Apparently, it's a small egg shaped vibrator that can "remember" things. That's right ... it knows what you like! And repeats it for you the more that you use it!! So, the naughty, I'm sick and have drugged myself with Benadryl, side of me peeks at the website just to see how much this thing costs ... 185.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT?!?!?!

$185.00 for plastic pleasure? I think not.

Although, now that I am considering it ... maybe showing this little bad boy to Aaron will make him to do the deed far more often. I KNOW he won't be paying 185 for my pleasing needs ... which can only mean that he'll try harder to not have to pay anything!

Bit with the Home Work Bug

I'm not sure what got into me this weekend but I got a whole bunch of stuff accomplished!

Proud! :)

I had been putting off my geography work; who knows why exactly. But not any more! Now, the only thing that I have left is the Final!!

I've been doing my C.S. work online just week by week like we are supposed too. But, I finished all of the weekly work that I had left and submitted it. Then I emailed her to get her to open up the rest of the tests; hopefully she will do that on Monday. And then I will need to get the tutorials done so that I can do the extra credit work. Fun times!

I also read the story that I needed to read for Tuesday for my American Literature class. Seriously, I'm on the freaking ball!

I have a lot of stuff to do for the next few weekends, so it really feels good to get a lot of this stuff done. Now, I will be able to just enjoy myself these next couple of weekends and not have to worry about getting all of this homework done.

I think that I am also going to work on my power point tonight. Once that is finished, then I won't have any more to work on for the rest of the week really.

I am also starting my new work out regime tomorrow. It's a 12 week program. Aaron is going to be my "trainer." I made him a deal ... if I lose 40 lbs then I get to get a tattoo. This is what I'm wanting ... except on my side:


Awesome hm?!

Meet and Greet

Aaron and I went out to Dallas last week so that he could drive around and look at his territories. While we were there I was able to meet up with two ladies that I've been talking to on Xanga (and now Blogspot) for a while!
It was very exciting!! I've been reading Christin's blog (on the left) since around 2003 and Miss Jules (on the right) for around a year and a half or so.

We went to eat at Crackle Barrel and chatted for a while. It was really nice to put a face to their blogs (besides the pictures) and both girls are sooooo very sweet! I loved them :)

While we were there we also picked up our new little puppy! His name is Link and he's freaking adorable! Right now however, he has an ear infection :( And it makes me very upset to hear him whimper like he has been. We've got him on antibiotics and ear drops and I'm hoping that things will clear up very soon.

I can't figure out how to get the pictures of him up on here ... so you'll have to check out www.xanga.com/still_me_21 or www.myspace.com/sufirachel for them.

P.S. Everyone should see Juno!

I'm going to be an Aunt!

Guess what I got for Christmas!? The news that I'm going to be an Aunt! Loren gave us the news December 22! She's about 8 weeks now and has heard the heart beat and everything! She's been feeling sick lately ... which sucks for her, but that is usually a good thing because it means that things are going well with the pregnancy!

A Christmas Miracle!! Baby Ottis will be born in August ... supposedly on the 16th but Shaw thinks that he/she will be a little earlier ... possibly closer to our one year wedding anniversary!

How was everyone's Christmas!? Ours was absolutely fantastic! We spent a good amount of time with family, but it would have been nice to spent a bit more time. Aaron had to work on Christmas eve at 10pm, so we had to go back that day. Then come to find out he ended up getting out of work after only an hour and then was off on Christmas day ... so too bad we weren't able to stay longer.

We went to Aaron's cousin's wedding this weekend, which gave us more time with family so that was really nice. But the wedding was kind of awkward ... some weird circumstances ... and a lot of people that didn't want it to happen. Aaron and I are just hoping that things are going to end up working out ... that's all we can really do.

In other news ... Aaron and I have a new arrival to announce as well!

We'll get him in about two weeks, and his name will be Link! I'll have pictures up once we see him ... but we are both VERY excited!!

Ugh. I'm so tired.

BLAH!

I can't wait until December ... I'm so freaking exhausted for some reason. I just don't get it ;-/ I'm tired all the freaking time.

I have all these looming deadlines as well ... so I think it' starting to wear on me a bit I guess.

But I'll get through ... I always do!

Uninsured

Because of Aaron taking too long to call about getting me on his health insurance ... I can't get put on it until the beginning of next year.

He had to have called within thirty days. And I already used my married name during a doctor's visit ... so I'm hoping that my insurance won't catch that (fat chance) and end up not paying for my gyno visit. Also ... now I can't go and get a second opinion about my periods ... until the beginning of the year. I guess this could be good and bad because I can give the birth control a chance to see if it is going to work.

Speaking of periods. BLEH, I'm on mine now. It doesn't seem as bad as it was last time ... meaning that I can keep food down ... but I still am not feeling well, and I haven't been feeling well probably since Thursday. I am going to be taking this "femcon" thing or something like that ... but maybe I should ask about "Yaz" because that's the stuff that is for that really bad PMS stuff??? Who knows ;-/ Bleh bleh bleh!!

The freaking sky dropped on top of us this afternoon while we were in Target and by the time we got home we had to wade through water that was up to my thighs! I quickly grabbed Emily from where she was hiding behind the neighbors chairs so that she could come in the house and stay warm and get some food. But she wanted to go back out once it stopped raining a bit.

And of course ... as if I couldn't hate our apartment any more ... the ceiling is now leaking water. Awesome. Although, I guess that it's better than the people that live on the bottom floor ... because I have a feeling that they were flooded. Sucks.

Working on a new me.

As of yesterday I started my new work out regime. Aaron and I are going to start running everyday. My machine of choice is the elliptical. I set it up on cardio and run two miles. Aaron ran/walked two miles on the treadmill but only did one today because he didn't want to over-exert himself before he went to work.

I also plan on doing the "master cleanse" (google it) starting the 21nd of this month. We are going to eat a really nice dinner at Pappa's steakhouse on Saturday the 20th ... so that should be a perfect way to end my eating for a bit.

It's a ten day cleanse where I drink a lot of this "lemonade" type concoction with Cheyenne pepper and maple syrup or something like that. I've researched it and it seems like it works for a lot of people. I'm only doing it for ten days ... and I will be getting all of the nutrients that I need. Therefore, I do not need any one's negative opinions please.

Homework is a daunting task.

I have to run off to the store ... and then come home and start on the homework process + clean house.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Things going on.

I think that I'm going to have to stop reviewing television shows. It's not all that rewarding ... plus, I don't even get to blog about my self any more because I'm too busy blogging about television shows!!

I'm at my sister-in-law's elementary school at the moment, "helping" with the book fair. We've been here since 7 and it's 5:30 ... and we won't be leaving for another 2 hours. I've been freaking exhausted! So exhausted that I ended up laying in the office around three and taking a short nap, I felt like I was in Pre-school again.

Plus, it's freezing in here ... not that kind of freezing where it's bareable ... but the kind of freezing that is so uncomfortable!! Nothing seems to be giving off heat, so I had to run out to starbucks and get a hot chocolate to warm up my insides!! I also am not feeling all that well, I don't think that I slept at all last night ... I think I just "rested". It was a weird feeling.

Today is our two month anniversary being married!! It's still absolutely lovely :)

I was watching this "Who's wedding is it anyway" recap thing on the Style channel the other day ... and these people were talking about how after they got married it wasn't what they thought that it was going to be at all and that they started thinking about divorce. The guy said "I mean, I know it's something that is eventually going to be thought about ... but I didn't think that it was going to be in the first year."

Well jeez ... if you think that that is going to be something that you are going to think about at any point in time ... you probably should wait on getting married. It seems to me like you aren't really in it for the long haul!

We still haven't had any arguments, only slight disagreements on opinions which are resolved in a few seconds. It's really quite nice :)

I thoroughly suggest Marriage to everyone ... I mean, as long as you love each other like Aaron and I love each other :)

Hope everyone else is good ... maybe after all this school and crap dies down some I can get back to my fun loving blogs ... please bear with me :-/
