Ouchie

So I meant to post earlier, but then I did stuff. So sorry this is a little late in the day.

As y'all know (because I'm a big fat whiny baby) I was sick this last week. Actually, it all started almost two weeks ago now. Felt my throat swelling, checked my tonsils, saw it was the same crap I've been getting for seven or eight years now. Yeah, I have recurring tonsillitis. Yeah, I should have them out. But I don't want to, I'm scared.

So I started antibiotics. And started feeling better. Then after five or six days it started coming back. And this time I was feeling worn out and feverish. Then Tuesday morning I woke up flushed. All of which point to the oh-so-delightful STREP THROAT.

Yeah. That was fun. And we do have insurance now, but we don't have our cards yet. So no normal doctor appointment for me. So hubby went to work and called me to come in because it was slow and I could actually get in semi-quickly. Drove the thirtyish minutes to the hospital he works at. An hour and one shot later, I was headed home.

So I'm aware I look totally pathetic here. That's semi-on purpose. I just wanted to model my fashionable hospital bracelet for all of you.

And there's where I got my shot. NO THIS IS NOT A PICTURE OF MY BUTT! You can see the band-aid and it's actually pretty high up there. Like you would be able to see it if my shirt didn't cover it.

And now I'm feeling a whole lot better. The spot where I got my shot is still a little sore. But my throat is looking better and I'm feeling a whole lot better. No more fevers or anything. I'll still have to go to a regular doctor (actually probably an ear, nose and throat specialist) in the future and possibly have to have my tonsils out. But for now, I'm good. Thanks for the sympathy and get-well-wishes!

Wish List Wednesday

So I contemplated not doing a wish list and just filling you in on my getting better. But I'll hold off, because some people might need a pick-me-up of pretty things to get you through you mid-week.

So last night while hubby was at work I watched Enchanted. I freakin' love that movie. Amy Adams is so amazingly and ridiculously "Disney." So I was inspired to do a super girly post. Sorry guys, it's all frills and pretty things today.

this dress is so plain and pretty and looks super comfy

these heels are KILLER

a pretty ruffly pillow

I LOVE the ruffles and bow on this top

this is the girliest, frilliest little purse I think I've ever seen!

and this makes me sigh with happiness

Nothing's Changed

Still slacking off. I'm sick. So I'm gonna play that card.

Looking at symptoms, I probably have strep. Tad had it a few weeks ago, so I guess it was just waiting to attack me at a really crappy time. When I have a party to go to this weekend. Ugh.

So now I'm probably going to have to go to the hospital hubby works at to see a doctor. Because for some reason our insurance provider doesn't have our insurance info yet. Which seriously pisses me off...

So if I'm not around it's because I'm annoyed and feeling crappy and annoyed. Yes, I said "annoyed" twice. You would too if you were going to have to get a shot in the a$$ when you finally go to the doctor.

Slacker

That's me. I haven't uploaded pics. I just dread doing it. So I'll give you pics that are already here...

These are the things that happen when Tad is here with us.

We turn uncle Tim's old shirt sleeves into ninja headgear. And Tad poses.

Tia Ashley bakes cookies. And Tad happily cleans the beater for me. He actually helps make them too.

Uncle Tim brings medical things (mask, cap, gloves) and we let Tad give us check ups.

And I sugar the kid up and pour frosting straight into his mouth. Because I am his aunt and it is my job to spoil him.

Thinking about it, I dread what my mother will let my kids get away with one day. Dad already let Tad have baked beans for breakfast one morning...

Fireworks?

Who's got 'em? We're going to my mom's and there's no kids so I don't imagine we'll be doing fireworks this year. But there will be an insane amount of food. And my family. Always a good time.

In other matters, I've been a bad blogger. I'm placing the blame on my computer yet again. I really need a new one. Hubby said maybe when school starts up. We'll see. A lot is hinging on the timing of our move (no house yet, but we're sick of renting here for several reasons).

So tomorrow I will TRY to upload the camera again and give you some recent pics. I actually did a decent amount of baking and cooking this week so I can always post about that. Although tomorrow may be sewing Sunday with mom...

Anywho, happy 4th to all of you! I hope you get to spend the day doing something fun!

Discuss

I'm going some blog-stalking and came across a FABULOUS pair of shoes that are slightly vintagey, slightly naughty, and way hot! But I didn't look at the price because chances of me being able to afford them are pretty stinking slim...

But hubby saw my expression and asked what was up. I told him, "Shoes." And then he told me that he saw Beyonce in a tabloid recently (probably bored at work) and her shoes (which he says "look like someone went to the dump, found scraps, and attached them to a shoe bottom") apparently cost $4,600. Did you miss that?

$4,600 for butt ugly shoes

He then proceeded to say, "And you know she didn't pay for them. They were totally given to her."

Which brings me to a question: why do the ridiculously rich celebs get free crap? Like, an insane amount of free crap. The people who can afford it don't always have to pay for it.

I can honestly say that if for any reason I was famous (which I have no talent so that's not gonna happen) I would pay for my stuff. What Louis Vuitton? You want to give me your new bag for spring? Let me pay for it. Designer gowns Carolina Herrera? How about I just bring my cousins to pick out prom dresses instead?

Seriously, I would so rather give the free stuff to someone who had no chance of owning something so fabulous otherwise. So discuss (like any of you actually discuss in my comments, ha!). Would you take freebies as a celeb who could more than afford them?

Wish List Wednesday

**This was supposed to automatically post this morning. Not sure why it didn't.**

Today's list was totally easy. Ever since my sister picked hot pink as one of her wedding colors I've been wanting everything pink that I come across. I'm pretty stoked to wear my hot pink wedding shoes again as a bridesmaid. Seriously. Way stoked.

So to get some of the pink out of my system, I thought I should base today's wish list on the color.

now I know I said I can't wait to wear my shoes, but if something were to happen to them, I would take these from Baker's in a second. Aren't they fabulous?

I am watching this ring on Etsy, I think I need it for the wedding

I'd like to think I could pull off this headband. I'd definitely try!

and I have a pink clutch (also from my wedding), but this one was too cute not to pass along

super cute pink sunglasses from Forever21

I would wear this headband to death, by NevaPlume on Etsy

Now I'm off to convince hubby to buy me that ring...
