Blah, I'm sick

I guess it was only a matter of time until it hit me, and here it is: My first cold of the year. YUCK!

Josh has been feeling crappy for a few days now and it inevitably transferred over to me. On Saturday I had the day off and of course it was overcast and dreary. Because I can't just sit and do nothing, especially when i have a day off, we decided to go for a bike ride. It was fun, but probably not the best choice considering we were both feeling iffy. When we got home we took a 2 hour nap, and the sickness proceeded to take over lol.

Sunday I woke up feeling like death, went to work and it only got worse. Today I called out sick for the first time EVER! I hate calling out, and I feel really guilty, but at the same time, I know I wouldn't have made it at work.

And of course, the day I am home sick it is BEAUTIFUL outside. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and I can hardly get the energy to go downstairs and get a glass of water! Annoying.

Thanks Mother Nature, I love you too.

So my plans for today are to:
1. rest
2. watch as much Teen Mom as I can
3. take a long nap

Hope you all are feeling better on your side of the blog world!

iPhone Foto Friday

Today's iPhone Foto is one that I strategically snapped while at Josh's hockey tournament. At this particular rink it is verrry cold, so most of the spectators bring blankets and hot chocolate to stay warm while they watch the games, but this lady took the act of bringing a blanket to a WHOLE new level.

Yes my friends, she hand made a Blanket Skirt! Which was rather flowy might I add.

Why bother having to lug a blanket around or fold it up when you need to leave your seat? With the blanket skirt you can look like a complete idiot at your son's college hockey tournament!! hahaha

It was the funniest thing ever!

I promised Josh I would never wear one of these to any of his games. Haha! Happy Friday! :)

Lesson Learned

Yesterday I had to run a few errands, the last one being the grocery store, around lunch time, when I hadn't eaten since breakfast.

My list (roughly $15-20worth of things):
Bread
Milk
Salad
Cheese

What did I leave with??

$70.00 worth of stuff, mainly junk food!
Unnecessary Items include but are not limited to:
-mini powdered donuts
-string cheese
-2 bags of potato chips
-nilla wafers
-teddy grahams

I don't even know what got into me! I didn't audit my cart before the checkout, I just cruised right on up with a cart full of yummy but expensive crap! Never again will I go to the store on an empty stomach around lunch time, especially when I am trying to SAVE money. UGH! Stupid me.

Now I will be poor and fat! haha

enjoying the extra hours of sunshine!

Yesterday I got off of work a half hour early, and boy did it make a difference! :)

I came home, went to the gym, showered up, started dinner and then because it was still SO NICE out I headed to campus to surprise Josh! :)

Then we walked home together and enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather! Finished up making Tacos for dinner and then decided to use the free Frozen Yogurt Card I had at Golden Spoon!

Yum! Vanilla!

:)

Afterwards we headed to Target to get some TP and walk around. We found a funny little kid outfit! haha

The rest of the night we spent watching some TV in our jammies and just relaxed. It was so nice to have the extra hour of sunshine and to get off of work early! I felt like we had so much more time to spend together and it was great!

Today I have the day off and a huge list of things to do, but anything is better than being inside on a day like today!

Tootles Ginger Bread House!

Back around Christmas time Josh and I decorated a ginger bread house. It was ugly, but as per our tradition, we make them and then we ruin them after the holidays are over. So we have been meaning to destroy it for quite some time now, but with work and everything else it just hasn't happened.

But alas, we finally found time to demolish the ugly little cookie house the other day (which has been sitting in our kitchen waiting to be killed for FAR TOO LONG).

Here it is in the street waiting to be dominated!

Bye Bye Ginger Bread House!

And drum roll please!!!!!

And just like that, the ginger bread house was shattered in pieces courtesy of Josh and his beach cruiser! :)

Don't be too jealous....

... because I hit the JACKPOT!!!!

The wonderful Jules over at Chic and Pink recently had a General Mills giveaway and I won the grand prize!!! So needless to say, when I came home from running errands last week to find a huge box on my porch I was so excited and tore right into it!!

What was inside you might ask? EVERYTHING! haha :)

The grand prize included an Atari Flashback game system, 5 boxes of my favorite cereals with retro boxes (LOVE me some Lucky Charms!!), a fun Cheerios shirt, AND a Target gift card! Can you say LUCKY!??

Can't wait to go to Target! :)

Trix are for kids!

Check out how old school that is!

This one too! haha

Just had a bowl of these...

mmmmm :)

And can I just say HOW COOL IS THIS!??!

I can't freaking wait until my day off so we can set this bad boy up! I've already challenged Josh, Stephanie, and Anthony to a game of Pong! haha!

Thank you so much Jules and General Mills!!! This was such a great giveaway and I am so thankful!! :)

iPhone Foto Friday

Alright people, the customers who come into my store have reached a whole new level...

...are we REALLY putting a 3 year old in heels???

Granted they aren't stilettos but jeeze lousie!! This little girl was having trouble walking! I couldn't believe it!

I can understand a heel that size maybe when your daughter is 10 or 12 to wear with her Christmas Dress or something, but for every day out and about? A Sweater and skinny jeans, paired with a pair of heeled boots??!!

I know I am a bit of a square, but I don't think that I"m out of hand thinking this is a bit ridiculous...
