The 9-month sickness

I have been away for awhile. Yes. I have a good reason. Jason calls it "the 9-month sickness," and he ain't exaggerating too much. I am pregnant. I am sick. Very sick.

All this said, we are very happy. Or at least Jason is. I will be happy when I am not so sick anymore. Posts may be fewer and farther between for another month or two; usually by about 20 weeks I feel pretty good. And I usually want to sit down a lot, which is conducive to blogging.

Don't worry, I already have stories cataloged to write once I get back in the grove=)

Crocs

I have been debating buying Crocs for myself for quite a while. (I'm talking real Crocs here) My mom swears by them, I believe she has them in every color. The girls each have a pair, Jason has a pair, and they all LOVE them. It's hard to get Brooke to wear anything else.

Finally, after about 8 months of going back and forth I found some on the website that I liked. I don't know if y'all know this, but there are so many more styles than just the traditional holey crocs. I'm not really a fan of that style anyway.

Here they are:



All I have to say is that I wish I had gotten them 8 moths ago. I justify the cost because I think these are the only shoes I will wear this summer.

The Wine Rack

Ok, I know this is a little late (like two weeks) but I will finally tell the story of 'The Wine Rack.'

So, we finally got a shelf that is a multi-functional wine rack. Well, multi-functional may be stretching it a bit. It is big enough to hold the stash of alcohol, all two bottles of it, but most important it holds all the wine, beer, and cordial glasses in our house. It is made of dark wood, has a couple shelves, and actually looks very elegant.

So guess what is on top of our oh-so-elegant wine rack? An air rifle.

(A gun people, a gun)

The Flu

It is horrible. The Flu. I am seriously re-thinking my whole "the flu shot is worthless" attitude. I didn't even REALLY have it. Two in my household did. I have remnants of it, and Brooke, as far as I know, didn't have any of it.

One word:Tamiflu. It must work. Two of us tested positive for the Flu. Some of us were on Tamiflu, some not, and the ones who weren't got the whole shebang, fever, chills, headache, cough, tiredness, etc. The person who happened to get it NEVER gets sick. I mean like this was the sickness for a couple years.

So to sum up: The Flu sucks, get Tamiflu if you have been exposed, and get the Flu shot if you want to prevent it.

And that's what I have to say about that.

Ugh

I ate way too much today. Most of it chocolate. Anyone else?
