SICK DAYS

I USED to think I was a pretty healthy gal, not getting sick too often and if I were to get sick it would quickly pass. Well, it must be my turn. Since Monday morning, I have been so sick!
My past week has consisted of either laying in bed or on the couch with numerous blankets, kleenex, and water. Resting, watching dozens of movies, not cooking or cleaning which is very RARE, and trying to take care of myself. It was so hard not to be busy and productive but I felt horrible and I wanted to get better. John did great, getting me anything I wanted.
Symptoms: Headache, stomachache, chestache, actaully whole body ache! Runny/stuffy nose, throat sore, and a wicked wicked cough that was not bad during the day, but at night it was uncontrollable!
Anyway, I know it is not interesting but that has been our lives the past week. Nothing exciting because I have been in bed. I am hopeful for a better week!
Boy am I thankful for being healthy!

Livin' the Spring Break Life

One GREAT thing about being in school.
Still getting a Spring Break vacation! And not only that but I was lucky enough to get the week off from work. So John and I both were off last week and we HAD to get out of this cold winter weather in Buffalo, so . . . . we escaped down to Florida.
We spent the first few days up near Orlando with my wonderful Aunt Diane, where we enjoyed time at Daytona Beach, soaking up the sun, hanging out at the beach and just relaxing.
Then we were off to Miami on a 5 day cruise visiting Key West and Cozumel! I will not go on and on, but cruises are the BEST, what a great vacation, tons of free food, activities, shows, sun, etc. What more do you want!
John and I had a great time! I will be quiet and let the pictures do the talking!
In front of the Daytona 500 race track, it was HUGE!
At Daytona beach, it was crazy, you could drive and park on the beach!

Bye Bye! We are off on our cruise!


We rented bikes at Key West, and rode all over the island.
The southern most part in the US. Ya, I know you can barely see our heads and there is like four feet of ground beneath us in this photo. Word to the wise, chose carefully who takes your pictures!
In front of Ernest Hemingway's home.

John posing with not only a gorgeous palm tree but a cold ice cream cone!
John and I hit the dance floor a few nights, and some random guy tried to dance up on it!


Welcome to Cozumel!
John and I rented scooters and drove around all day. We loved the beautiful scenery. We also rented snorkel gear and stopped at different places to enjoy the clear water and awesome sea life!

Cool story about this ring. We were out snorkeling and I noticed a little mexican girl floundering pretty far off shore. I could see her struggling to stay above water so I swam over and took her back into shore. She told her dad what happened. Her father insisted that I take this cute ring as a thank you.

Now it is time to get back to reality. Hope everyone has a great Easter.

Where the heck have we been?

Well, for the past two days . . . Our BED! Seriously, John and I have been in our bed practically all day for the past 2 1/2 days. We are close to the bathroom, warm under the covers, easy access to study material and movies. We even have had a snack and beverage supply to avoid having to leave our room too often.

WHY?
Just take a look outside.
This was once our electrical heater box thing, now it is barely visible through the fluffy snow!


Missing: 2001 Maxima. . .

Need I say more. SNOW SNOW SNOW. WIND. COLD. NASTY. ( No church, even).
I would have to guess around 18 inches or so. WOW. I so wish I was in Arizona right now at a park, the sun hitting my feet (in flip flops), sipping lemonade! Whatever.
No, we are out here in Buffalo, sipping hot tea, under the covers, watching the temperature drop and the snow fall, dreaming of the warmth.
Well, now lets think of the positive. Two things:
One- I have had the past few days off from work, so I did not have to drive in the crazy weather. Sleeping in, and not shoveling snow at 6 am is wonderful!
Two- In less than 1 week John and I will be down in Florida, hopefully on a cruise, in bathing suits, soaking up as much Vit D as possible to last the rest of this Buffalo winter.
Don't worry tomorrow we will be forced to come out of hibernation and it's back to work and school!

Bag Tagged by Megan!

Here is my bag. My mom brought this out with her when she came, so it is a new winter purse, notice the white fluffy fur.


Here are the contents. Nothing to surprising.


My wallet- most important, too bad it is empty!
My camera- never want to miss a kandid moment!
My I pod Shuffle- so small, you never know when you will be in a place where you can JAM!
A notebook- John can confirm this, but I NEED this for my numerous lists I make in 1 day!
Gloves- with this weather I never go any place without them, my hands get so dry!
Pens/Pencils- It is the worst needing a pen and not having one!
Chapstick/lipgloss- I am obsessed to say the least!
Reciepts- budgeting??? It's worth an effort!
Movie Stub- from 27 dressess. So good! If anyone wants to go, let me know I am willing to see it again.(PS- I can get tickets for 6 dollars vs. the 8-9 now days)

Well, that is it in my bag, but what is in yours?? Yes, if you are reading this consider yourself tagged!
