arcives... February 2006

• 02/17/06 (6:57 PM): I added another symptom to my sickness. That's right, I threw up. I just want to be better. I've been sick for far too long.

• 02/17/06 (10:04 AM): Day 7 of sickness. Yup, stayed home from work, again. I only worked 10.75 hours this week... when I really needed to be working! My body feels better today, but I still have this horrible pressure in my sinus. My head feels like it is going to explode. I'm camped out in my room today. Every time I stand up, I get this sharp pain. It sucks.

• 02/15/06 (8:37 AM): I hate being sick. My soar throat and fatigue turned into a head cold. Now I have a headache, stuffy and runny rose, coughing, sneezing... the whole "cold" yards. I almost prefer when I was sick at Christmas. At least I was better two days later, colds just linger.

• 02/14/06 (5:37 PM): Happy Valentines Day! Jesse gave us this photo. Pictured here are Lydia, Erick, and me. Lydia and I are double-crossed (girls dressed as boys dressed as girls). You can see the fake boobs and chest hair better on Lyd in this photo, you get the idea. The things between our fake breasts were salt grinder shakers for the Margarita Jello shots we made. They were yummy.

  

• 02/13/06 (10:37 PM): This past weekend was great! Friday night Lydia and I spent the evening preparing for the Annual Cross-Dress party. We put the finishing touches on our costumes and Bryan came over to help us make the loads of Jello shots. Lyd and I went double-crossed... yes, girls dressed as boys dressed as girls. We made really great looking fake boobs that I must say was close to being the hit of the party. Our photo was taken many times, but I didn't bring the camera. I'll have to try and get a photo to post on here. Bryan, Lyd and I were the Jello Shot girls, so everyone loved us anyway. How can you not like people serving you Jello shots? I think we took close seconds to Travis and Tim who went as Rosey the Rivitor and I'm not sure what exact time period Travis was dressed as, but I'd say it was the 40s. He was in a uniform with garter and the wig was the perfect look... like he look just like he came out of an old photo. They were great. My fake books were grabbed all night, but luckily Lyd and I only got actually groped a couple of times. Tis what you deal with at a party with lots of drunk people. We dealed of course and avoided said people for the rest of the evening. Then Sunday I woke early, cause I got a text message... damn phone. So I got up and cleaned the kitchen and made breakfast for everyone. Then we went to Syracuse to get Bryan's hockey equipment and did Barnes and Noble "Lydia's style." We got some beverages and looked at design books. I was not happy that they were out of the black tea I enjoy drinking. They'll be out until spring. What the hell is that all about? They only have like 6 choices to begin with. The only other black tea they have is Apricot. Really, I don't want fruit in my tea. I just like plain black tea. Nothing in it, just tea. So I got some kind of green tea that wasn't that great. Oh well, that is just my luck. I was so over tired that hockey was more strenuous, than anything else. And, of course, I got sick... THANKS DAD! This is what happens every time I deprive myself of sleep, but I knew it was coming. My soar throat started Friday night, but was mild. By Sunday it was hurting pretty good. I woke up this morning and barely could pull myself out of bed to write an email to work (throat hurt too much to call). I feel better now, but I'm hoping I don't wake tomorrow and feel like garbage too. Rest was really what I needed most. The rest of my February is looking pretty busy. I thought I has some free time, but then I got a bunch of emails requesting my presence. What can I say, I'm popular these days... but I'm not going to last if I don't get some rest. That's what I'm going to do now... rest.

• 02/06/06 (10:01 PM): What an unbelievable day I've had! This morning I'm on my way to work and I figured that it stopped snowing over night and there was hardly any snow on the ground. So I decide to take the back roads. I come around a bend and hit black ice. I immediately start fish tailing and I almost gained control... then I lost it again. I did a 360 and skid off of the road into a ditch. SHIT. That's what I said, I didn't actually shit. So I get on the phone with my roadside assistance. Can't find a tow truck and they'll call me back. Two hours later I finally got pulled out of that ditch. But, let me tell you, I was one lucky girl. I missed a bunch of trees as I fish tailed past. Missed a guard rail by about 10 feet and stopped short of a small creek by about 15 feet. My guardian angel is incredible! Addy and I are fine. I took her for an oil change and asked them to look at her, completely fine.

  Then I had a long day at work. New employee, tight deadlines, stressful day. Happy Mondays! I also was supposed to go on a date tonight, but he cancelled on me, again. Sigh. He had car troubles too... guess it was just the Monday from Hell for everyone! So I had nice pretty pictures of my Ooopsy this morning. But, just before I wrote this post I stuck my card in and... it was blank. I showed Lydia the photos this morning... they were there. So pissed off about that one! Fucking technology... pardon my language... I hope that tomorrow is a better day or I'm going to need a good strong drink!

  OH, let me tell you a bit more about my luck... you've got time, right? So I sat home all day and night Saturday. Just couldn't bring myself to go out for some reason (totally unlike me). So Sunday I decided that I needed to do something. I call up Lyd and away we went to go to the MOST (Museum of Science and Technology). It's a cool little museum. They have a planetarium, most of the reason I wanted to go. So, we rush up there to make the 2:15 showing and they were having technical difficulties... said they would announce when they were back up and running. We stayed for another 2 hours... no announcement. I really wanted to see the planetarium. Crap, I had photos of that to share on the camera card too, a nice one of me and Lyd in front of T-Rex. Shit, technology really blows. Now you get no images to complement my stories... sorry, blame the camera. We also went and saw "Brokeback Mountain," which also stunk in my opinion. The movie started OK, the middle was OK, but then it had a bad ending. Why do people do that to stories? It was completely un-climatic and boring. I was fully disappointed. Fun with Dick and Jane was a much better movie. I thought it was funny and I laughed hard.
