AAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...........
I don't want to name names...they will keep their protection of anonymity...I will protect the guilty..I shan't point a finger at the criminal.
Serious heart attack time.
This is my lifeline....
I know you are not supposed to have favorites but my laptop is my favorite child---no contest!
- talks back to me
- wants me to taste food it thinks is disgusting
- leaves its dirty socks stashed everywhere (not limited to the kitchen table)
- asks to share my food
- huffs and puffs at me when I ask it to do something (okay sometimes it will do this...but it is so cute when it is rebellious)
- begs for food and water after a beating and prolonged confinement (just kidding...don't freak out...I would never do that to my laptop)

a cute little footer. Now this is where the pilfering I mentioned before, comes into play. I saw this idea first on MamaGeek's blog and thought it was so neat.
The opportunity to work on my second site came from Jeff Tovsen, owner of Tone Deaf Guitars. He needed a website, so I fibbed and said I could build it...
~This is a new section that I am adding to my blog pages. You can find it under "creative bug" in my navigational tabs. I will update whenever I add more work.~

- I love his laugh and smile. It is contagious. To hear him laugh, you instantly have to start laughing too.
- I love that we have the same twisted sense of humor.
- I love that we both feel the same way about what we want for our children
- I love he provides for me. And that I can trust him in that.
- I love his strong work ethic and that he is respected for it by others, as well.
- I love, and am proud of his musical talent.
- I love when he takes the kids out of the house to give me break and focuses solely on them the whole time---I love the memories that he is giving them.
- I love his culture and the goodness and richness that it brings to our life.
- I love when we met, how special he made me feel everyday---I love the memories that he gave me from that time.

it's all in the perspective, my dear.
You take some pictures.....
...send them to your husband, and make him think that you plunked down his hard earned money on some unneeded and expensive new toy for the children.

Thank you Michelle.

phlegmatically yours
Today is the big day for my x-ray. Of course, the hope is that the gray, cotton-candy looking substance, which unceremoniously invaded my lungs, has taken it's leave of me. Honestly, without going into too much detail, I really haven't been as "productive" as I think I should in getting rid of this gunk. I don't really know what is next, though. I took a strong three day antibiotic that stays in my system for ten days---I am only on my sixth day, so I suppose I should try to be patient for the remaining 4 days. It is just hard knowing that there is a foreign invader in my body. In the past I have taken kindly to foreign invaders...I ended up marrying the last one I came in contact with. Of course Edgard doesn't make me all phlegmy so that could be why he is still around. This current invader is a little less pleasant. Although, having pneumonia garners me more sympathy than being married to Edgard does---so I guess that is sort of a bonus. Other than that I would have to say that having Edgard is better than having pneumonia.

pneumonia and me
Too late.
One really nice thing that has come out of it was this beautiful and romantic bouquet.
This has been interesting, though. I have found that with a little
I could add that to the list of reasons to have pneumonia.---that it will make your husband change the sheets! But, I guarantee that if you have a black set of sheets, no matter how deeply hidden in your linen closet, he will most assuredly dig those particular ones out and use them. Bye bye blue toile sheets, hello shroud-like manly ones. By the way, love the sheets honey, thanks...you know I am only teasing, right? Please change them again sometime.

some little bug is going to find you sometime.
I was trying to figure out which part of my thrilling Dr.'s visit I should tell you about.
Then there was the part where I saw John Travolta's character from Love Song for Bobby Long in the waiting room. Well at about age 35 but he looked about as healthy as Bobby Long.
Or there was the fun moment after being jabbed and x-rayed and the waiting....
all the flipping waiting...
I was told that, after being in bed since Saturday, I was going to get the bonus of five more days of bed rest. Yipee! I truly hope the sarcasm hits you right between the eyes in that last exclamation. It is one thing to dream about being able to stay in bed when you are well, but quite another to actually have to when you feel like crud. But no worries...I have my survival methods.
But I think that the main thing that I would like to tell you about my visit today is how I got to find out I have pneumonia. But am I feeling sorry for myself? No Siree! Besides, wasn't it Kin Hubbard who said:
