I've been really slacking at my pink but I actually wore it here.
Scarf (pashmina): Sears
Sweater and Jeans: Express
Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline 11
I cleaned, worked a little (on my 9/80 day off), went to Giant Eagle, went to Target, went for a walk with dave, then went to volunteer with the RMHC. I didn't think I had a lot planned but I went right from doing one thing to doing another. I even had some fun stuff I wanted to do but I didn't get to it.
While I was working for work, I was in bed and Poly was on my legs. She just sat there looking around for awhile but then she went to sleep.
In the middle of the night she found the Target bag that had my new headbands and she pulled all of them out. She brought some of them to us as we were waking up.
After I got home, we watched some TV. Then we watched baseball. I fell asleep during that.
For Ronald McDonald House Charity we cooked and served dinner for their Halloween Party. The meal we prepared was spaghetti but we were creative with it.
Pashmina: gift
Pants: VS
Shirt: Express
Boots: Famous Footwear
I got a compliment on my outfit at McGuinnis Sisters.
Poly was trying to sunbathe.
I had an extensive to do list. I didn't do much on it. We needed food. I needed to eat. I needed to shower. I needed to run. It wouldn't all workout right so I had to shower, eat, shop, run, shower.
We were going to go out to lunch and to Giant Eagle and McGuinnis sisters. Well, then Dave waits for me to be ready to go and then he decides we have to clean the kitchen and do the dishes and then clean out his car. I was lightheaded by this point and mad. Also I had to peer check some stuff for some people at work and I didn't want to keep them waiting.
We went to Jersey Mike's for lunch. Then to Giant Eagle. Then to McGuinnis Sisters.
All of that took about 4 hours.
We got home and I didn't even finish putting stuff away. I hurried to my computer to find out what time dusk was and then Poly got on my lap. She was sound asleep. I hated to move her, but I had to. I did waste about 10 minutes though. Then I hurried and changed and headed to North Park to run. I ran 5.28 miles. I could have probably run 10 more minutes before it got too dark but I didn't want to end up stuck.
Then I came home and showered. When I got home Dave had made homemade sauce. He was about to make the raviolis but was waiting for me. He cooked dinner. We ate that then watched a movie, The Social Network. I liked it. Then it was time for bed. During the movie, I did some of my peer checking.
Even though it was time for bed, I blogged a big. My blog was screwed up and my last post ended up being the only post that would show on the main page. It sure made me mad. I still can't figure out why. Has anyone else had issues with blogger like this? Also the run post never showed up in my google reader.
Over the weekend I changed my header a few times and changed my layout. It sure is exciting.
Well I didn't get dressed again. I felt miserable. I put on a brave face for my calendar picture though. That shirt is from 3rd grade.
We went to bed at 8pm. We watched a little TV so we did not go to sleep right then.
December 29 - Still sick but we needed to buy food so I got dressed.
Now just look how Poly is all over Dave while he tries to sleep.
Yum Orange Juice
I didn't get out of bed until 3pm. I think I actually go out of bed at 1pm to go to the bathroom and then it was back to bed. I played gameboy for a few hours. I played a lot of gameboy. I like Tetris Worlds (or something like that). I like Fusion starting at level 7.
I was able to catch up on a lot of TV while I was sick. But surprisingly enough, I didn't get anywhere near caught up. I think I might attempt to watch too many shows.
Shirt: F21
Pashmina: Gift
Jeans: Express
Shoes: Famous Footwear (my Nickel ones)
I did as much photo editing to these as I could to try to make me look less sick. I'm not sure how well I pulled it off.
These stripes are confusing to look at.
So I bought some food. I was pretty much ready to pass out in the first aisle.
December 30 - No pictures of me
Apparently all I cared about was Poly on the 30th. I did put on boots and a coat to take out the garbage. The driveway was a sheet of ice and I slid down it. You could see my boot streaks on the driveway. I was so sick that I didn't even go inside to get my camera to take a picture. When I pass up a golden opportunity like that, you know it is bad.
Sorry for such a long post but I'm play catch up. After this I think I only have 14 more days to catch up on.
I made myself sleep in extra so that I could stay up until midnight. I was working for days to train myself to stay up so late.
Poly was purring on me while we were resting on the couch. I needed to conserve my energy for if I went out. I had 2 things to do in the evening but was still unsure if I should go or not. I was 90% better and didn't want to get worse or get anyone else sick.
Poly was pawing at something. I was confused. 10 feet away there was a but on the ceiling. I guess she thought she had go go gadget arms.
I ended up talking to my mom on the phone and feeling a ton better so I went out. Six of us went to Mad Mex for dinner.
Then I went to my parents for a little bit before it was time to go to Callie's. I could tell I was already overdoing it.
I took cookies to Callie's. Some years I make and take pepperoni bread but since I was sick this year, I wasn't making anything new. I would just use what I had on hand.
My parents decided to go to Callie's party this year too. Before we left, I took a picture of all the plaid. Good thing I got this picture because my mom came downstairs and made my dad wear a different jacket.
Delaney made some cupcakes. They looked so pretty that I didn't want to take any. (at midnight we told Timmy they were his birthday cupcakes)
I figure I should take some pictures of people instead of just of food so here I got a picture of Callie with my brothers. Mike has on a union suit under his outfit. It was hot in there so he must have been dying.
We had discussions about how plaid is in this season. Timmy has been wearing plaid for years but now it is in style. Delaney knows about what is in style. She's 12 but knows her fashion. I told her to create a fashion blog, but I don't think she will.
Pashmina: Gift from my brother
Cardigan: NY&Co.
Cami: Experss
Skirt: F21
Tights: Target
Shoes: Famous Footwear
(outfit photos were before I left for the parties but I wanted to fit in in with Callie's photo so here they are in the middle of the post)
Timmy said to me the entire night "I can't believe you wore that." What a nice brother I have. Sometimes he says that before he sees me or before he knows what I'm wearing.
Callie's 2nd outfit (red skirt)
Skirt: F21 (mine)
Shoes: Kohl's
Earrings: The Road (or maybe Claire's)
Shirt: Aunt Karen
Necklace: She told me and I forget but it was from someone like her mom.
I forget all the stat's of Callie's first outfit.
Timmy said he would not leave Callie's until he was sure that he overstayed his welcome. He clarified that this meant when Callie had fallen asleep. Well we did stay that late. Mike was even asleep on the floor with his coat on.
I used my flip to take some video of the dance party but I'll just include one. (and it probably won't even work right)
Mike wanted to leave around 2 but Timmy, our driver said he would not leave until he was sure he overstayed his welcome. He clarified that he would not leave until Callie fell asleep. Well Mike fell asleep waiting to leave. He even got up and got his coat at one point and then fell back to sleep on the floor.
We played some catch phrase but Callie was still awake so we weren't leave. My allergies were awful too. I think I used every napkin that was out for guests in the entire place. There was a bunch on the dining room table and I used them and then I used a ton from the table in the garage.
Well now we have it, Callie fell asleep. That meant it was about time to leave.
Callie woke up to apologize for falling asleep and say bye to use but then she fell asleep on the couch while she was saying bye. Callie's mom was still up and playing Catch phrase with us. Back in the day, Flo would have been up too.
I spent the night at my parents house. We got home closer to 4:30 AM. My nose was raw. I could barely breathe. I had trouble falling asleep. I thought I was allergic to Callie's cats but when it did not go away I knew it was bad. My brother had this awful soap that everyone said smelled like poison. My mom said it made the entire basement stink and I couldn't smell it at all. I said I didn't believe them that it stunk. But then finally I could smell it and it seemed to clear out my nose. I took the soap wrapper in a ziplock with me so I could sniff it if I needed to clear out my sinuses. It was a wonderful and an awful thing at the same time. I half got dressed and headed home. I sniffed the soap wrapper a little in the car.
When I got home I smiled for my daily picture before changing my shirt into PJs. Well I'm pretty sure I wasn't smiling because above was my daily picture. I didn't review the picture before putting on PJs so that's what I was left with. I decided I wasn't putting that on my calendar site, so I took another one of me in my PJs.
I also made a little video on my flip about how I was sick.
I watched the Penguins and they lost. It was the first hockey game I watched all year. Actually probably the first one I watched in 3 years.
