Moroccon Spice...saucy!

Here are some pics of my living room.

Hackety hack!

Ugh. I have been coughing so much at night that I get very little sleep. And my throat is killing me. Thank God I am not at work. Yesterday my hubby came home and we went shopping without the kids. Then we went to lunch. Oriental beef stir fry. YUM! :) Over all, yesterday was great because my hubby came home early (930am) and we had the whole day together without the rug rats. That doesn't happen too often. I am very excited because we are going out to a Japanese party this Saturday. We are going to go with our friends by train to the restaurant. Then I think we are going to a club. So today I am going to dye my hair and figure out what I am going to wear. More later.

The one time he did it right! :)

So, as promised, here is a pic of the one painting that my husband had commissioned for me. I absolutely love it. On the bottom left is the house I grew up in and the church on the hill is where we got married. It was painted from an olden time view but it pretty much looks the same now but with paved roads. LOL. Enjoy.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho (part 2)

It's home from work I go. I got to work and was sent home. My boss said that I still sounded sick so I should go ahead and go home and rest. She told me to come back on Monday. I am still sick but I figured that they would want me back. I am sure that the other girls did, but she told me to go home so I did. It is better that I don't get anyone else sick. I still feel bad for the other ladies who have to pick up the slack. They said Friday is supposed to be slow because of some school field trip. So, back to the television. Ho hum!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho....

It's off to work I go. Today (wed) will be my first day back to work since I got this damn bug. I still have a little cough but with some cough drops I should be fine. Hopefully they will appreciate the fact that even though I could legitimately stay home I am choosing to go back to help them out. It rained all day yesterday but it is looking like the sun is going to come out today so that is good. I am eager to get out of the house. I haven't been out of the house since Saturday. Yikes. I feel so out of touch with the outside world. LOL. Later gaters!

Bah HumBUG!! ;)

So I am FINALLY starting to feel a little better. I still have a cough and a bit of a sore throat but it is better than it was. I think I will go back to work tomorrow. I mean, I probably should stay home but I do feel bad for my co-workers. They are stuck doing extra work because I am gone. And I know how much that sucks, so out of commitment to my friends at work, I am going back tomorrow. Today I did feel well enough to wrap some Christmas presents, clean our closet under the stairs and do some laundry. Oh, and I even cooked dinner, so at least today wasn't a "lost" day.
I've gotten pretty stoked that Christmas is almost here. Not for me but for the kids. I have gotten to the point in my life that there isn't much I need or want. And when I do want something, I usually just buy it. So really, presents are not something I look forward to. Actually, I usually dread getting presents from my husband. He only gets me something good if I specifically tell him what I want. You'd think after 12 1/2 years of marriage he would know how to shop for me but....obviously so not the case. :) Oh, I lied, he did have an oil painting of the church we were married in commissioned for me one Christmas. That was the absolute BEST present in the world. It is my favorite of all our oil paintings. I will try and post a picture. (Oh, the artist painted it the way it looked in the old days but it is still awesome. And oddly enough, my parents house is in the bottom left cornor, which was a total coincidence that the artist chose to do it from the angle he did.)

Jump Girl Jump!

So lucky me, I am still sick. And although the congestion seems to be getting better, now my throat and left ear hurt. It's like this flu just wants to linger. So, I most probably will be home again tomorrow as well. Being home alone can be great when you are healthy and can work on things that you've been meaning to get done. But when you are sick it is so boring to lie around and watch tv. So today felt almost like a lost day. That didn't stop dh from being a pain in my ass. He wanted me to look up some stuff online for our moving claim. I took a nap after he gave it to me and then to be honest, I forgot about it. So now he is mad that I didn't do it. Uh, it has been sitting in our car for at least a month and now I am supposed to jump because he passed the task onto me?? Seriously, it doesn't work that way. And, I know I am very head strong but when you act all pissy with me, it will definitely NOT get done. I don't know why people think that if they get the ass with you they will get results. Remember the old saying that you can attract more flies with honey than vinegar?? Well, there is a lot of truth in that. If you are all sour with me...you bet your ass I will not comply. When you say jump I will not say, "how high?". That is not me. It never has and it never will be. So I say bring out the honey or kiss my gritts!! :)
