Blech.

Ew. I have been sick for what seems like ever. I've literally been laying in bed or on the couch for almost 4 days now. I am so goddamn bored. My nose is stuffed, and when it drains it makes my throat dry and sore when I breathe. My muscles hurt, my head aches, sound is amplified in my brain. I had to give a way one work shift, and turn down another which kills me right now. Tyler came home from work early on Thursday and his mom took Amelie to her house on Friday so I could get some rest. I'm feeling slightly better now but not good enough to leave the house. I'm not sure if it is time that's making me feel better, or the EmergenC that I finally got yesterday. Anyways, I think I'm getting closer to better, and I really hope I feel good enough to go to yoga tomorrow, because I had to skip it on Thursday.

On the bright side, Krista and Jason came over today and we ate breakfast/lunch from Colossal Cafe. It was delicious. And I finally got to give Krista her birthday present (which was in November...)

Tyler and I had a nice little Valentine's day. He bought me a couple boxes of Thin Mints, and I embroidered him a hanky and a T-shirt. His mom watched Amelie for the night and we went to see Black Swan. He got me a quick impromptu massage from this weird little place, but it was actually really good. As was Black Swan. It was a great little night out.

My 2 Turd Fergusons went to the zoo on Thursday while I was ill'in in bed. That little one just can't stand still for even a second.


Last weekend we walked up to Lake Hiawatha for the Hiawatha Heartwarmer. Last year we won a prize...but not this year. All Amelie wanted to do was walk through the snow, then glide across the ice rink.

We played on the ice for a while (there was a DJ playing music), then we took her down to the lake to look at the snowmen that some other people had built. Unfortunately, all she wanted to do was kick them over. One of the main reasons I wanted to take her was so that she could participate in the tots yoga that was going on, but we could not get her into the park building. She freaked out because she wanted to play outside. That's nothing new though. Usually after playing outside you have to drag her back in kicking and screaming, it's like she's immune to the cold or something. Her snowpants and mittens will be soaked through, and she'll stand by the front door trying to get back out.

Kinda like this...


Even though I missed out on most of the great weather due to my sickness, I did get to enjoy a day or two of it, and Tyler was able to dig out his camping hatchet and take a whack at the ice dams on our house.

He was out there for a while, and got soaking wet, but that dam is gone.
