mmm...church 'potluck' breakfast, ham sandwich for lunch, marshmallow peeps...it's been a good eating day so far. yum. yum.
Let's see, last I updated I told you about outlet shopping with my favorite fake 'almost' cousin-in-law. It was fabulous!! I got some beautiful polka-dot flip flops from the Gap and (brace yourself) a new Coach wristlet!! yay!
The next day my dear husband returned from his business trip : ) and I got a new haircut and highlights. I am loving the highlights. They are subtle and natural and I love them.
Yesterday D and I woke up early went to a local whole in the wall restuarant for breakfast. Then we went to the bank to close our old bank account and to pay off our only credit card. As of right now our only debt in the whole world is our student loans and that makes me super happy. After that my family celebrated Easter. We have a huge meal: ham, mac and cheese, roasted potatoes, deviled eggs, veggie tray, rolls, broccoli casserole, and pineapple upside down cake. It was delicious. We followed that with a little Mario Cart Wii. Fun times with the family.
Today is Easter. This morning we went to church, had breakfast with our church 'family', breakfast at D's grandparent's house, D and his cousins are currently playing golf, and I'm watching a movie and doing laundry. This evening we are celebrating Easter with D's family by having dinner another large delicious meal. THEN driving 3 hrs home.
whew! Now you are up-to-date. I hope you have a wonderful Easter....and try to remember that it's about more that chocolate covered bunnies and eggs.

money, money, money!!
I sold some wedding junk today and left $135 richer! oh yeah! The brides that I met were very fun. They kept congratulating me and asking ME for wedding tips! As if I am some married role model. Money and ego stroking. I am one happy lady.
But the day gets even better. After much internal debate I decided to spend my new found money on a fancy schmancy hair cut/highlight appointment. I called the salon, requested my favorite stylist and luckily got an appointment for Friday!! yay!! So next time I see some you I will be sporting an over-priced cut and color and feeling like hot stuff. Watch out world.
But wait there's more... Then I call my dad, partially to brag about how business savvy I am, and end up with an invitation-which I accepted- to join him at Freddies Bar. After my first 1/2 of a Bud Light in at least a month (I'm a real heavy drinker.... ; ) Dad and I decided to grab a bite to eat. We ended up at a local hotel for dinner. Food was great and it was nice to have some one on one time with my padre.
Plans for tomorrow include a road/shopping trip with my favorite fake 'almost' cousin in law and church. and unbridled bliss and anticipation for my upcoming hair appointment.

Good Day
Not much to report today. It wasn't an overly exciting day but a good one!
After our wedding (D & I incase you were wondering) last August, I endeavored to sell off wedding junk. I turned to TheKnot.com. I created a webpage and posted an ad. At that point in time I sold a few items but didn't get rid of all the junk.
So today I figured that while I was in my parent's home, with nothing to do, I would organize and repost the ad for the wedding junk. BINGO! Wedding season is right around the corner and I got a ton of replies.
Besides the fact that I am getting rid of the wedding junk, I am also gaining some cash for my outlet mall shopping adventure later this week. DOUBLE BINGO!!
Here's how the exchange is going down:
*Brides to be will meet me in the parking lot of a local Panera Bread
*They are to bring cash only
*Any of my wedding junk is up for grabs
*Brides to be get my high quality, awesome wedding junk, I get rid of it, and some extra cash
*Everyone is happy
*The end.
Today, I also had dinner with my sister in law and my fake 'almost' cousin in law (my real cousin in law, N, needs to be proposing here soon but that's another story). It was a very fun evening. I even put on makeup and used hairspray. whoa. We chatted about family stuff, celebrity gossip, and the ongoings in our lives. It's super nice to love your family in law and I do.
That's all folks!

I'm wiped.
I have no energy.
I seem to be tiring out very quickly these days. It's a vicious cycle. I feel a bit better, get some energy, do something (take a walk, run an errand, etc.), then immediately am worn out.
Today I hung around my parent's house, did some laundry, and watched a movie. Around 6 I was starting to feel hungry and decided to go out and grab a bite to eat.
Lately, if something sounds good to eat D and/or I venture out to find it, no matter how far, becuase very few things have been sounding edible to me.
It was Chick-fil-a today. The nearest one is 30 mins away. Eh, I had some energy so I decided to go. I ate my food and then noticed a Target near by. I love love love Target, so I couldn't resist a quick visit. ha I ended up buying Easter candy for my family. Then, I saw a TJ Maxx (my second love) and decided to head in for a new hair dryer.
By the time I got back into the car, after my few quick visits, I was pooped. I cannot describe the degree of tired I was experiencing. Mind numbing, body aching, tired.
Now I am home in my pj's chilling in front of the tv. ahhh!
I truly hope I start to get my stamina back soon. There is no way I could handle a classroom of students right now. Subsitute teachers are not allowed mid day naps. : (

I think this is why America is obese....
Yesterday D and I hung around the house, he changed the oil in the car, I watched tv, napped, did some light picking up, and went out to dinner. In general it was a pretty lazy day. One of our favorite lazy activities is renting/watching movies.
Well...we rent movies frequently enough that we are out of new movies to rent at Family Video. Yep, we stay in that often. ha ha!
So after a trip to Family Video with no luck we went home to check out Movies On-Demand. Again, either no luck or no interest in those movies. Then I realize that there is one movie source that we have yet to try...Netflix.
Oh man! Within 5 minutes I was a full fledged member of the Netflix community and watching Season 1 of Law and Order SVU over the internet. Talk about instant gratification.
Now we have our movie que all lined up and are anxiously awaiting our first three DVD's. We no longer have get up off our behinds and head to the movie store. No sir, now we can keep our behinds on the couch, type in our movie order, and wait for it arrive on our doorstep. I think this is why America is obese.
I also think this is the beginning of a very long and happy relationship. <3

I'm BAAACKK!
Whew! It is been a long and bumpy 2 weeks! Last time we talked I was complaining..er..explaining my Urgent Care experience. Well, last Saturday I get a phone call from the hospital lab informing me that I have Salmonella, as in peanut butter recall, undercooked chicken Salmonella. Fabulous. Great. Now what?
The doctor puts me on heavy duty antibiotics (seriously, pharmacy print out says the are for the treatment of anthrax exposure ha ha) and has me set up an appointment to come in the next week.
Long story short. I end up back in the ER because of dehydration-again-and now the concern is that I may have Salmonella in my gallbladder which would make me a permanent Salmonella carrier and I would need to have my gallbladder removed. BUT we can't check the gallbladder until next week because it's inflamed.
The good news is that I am slowly improving. My blood work shows this, and physically I am starting to feel better. Slow and Steady.
I will be staying at my parents house for the next week while D is away for work. I am hoping to spend some quality time with family and friends and the tv. : )
I'll keep you posted!

p.s. I had a great time with two of my readers last night (at a fish fry duh!) D&H you guys have a knack for cheering me up! Thanks!

Weekend Plans
Maybe I'm lame, but I always think it's interesting to hear the fun and exciting things that people do over the weekend. This weekend I have possible (depending on how I feel...see post below) interesting and exciting plans.
Friday: We are going to the fish fry. You know I love them. I don't know if I'll be eating (see post below), but I will be in attendance! : )
Saturday: D signed up for one of his company's softball leagues. So Saturday morning he will be practicing for the season. We plan to tidy the house. We may also go to the dollar theater (yes it's really $1) to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Sunday: Church and then either meeting my parents in Columbus to eat at the Cheesecake Factory OR going by ourselves to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. No matter what D and I are going because it sounds good to me!
yay! So those are my weekend plans! Hope yours is great.
