It's a Happy Birthday!!!

My soon-to-be-sister-in-law, Danielle, marks the completion of two full decades in life. The wedding is three weeks from today on July 19th. She's great! I love her and can't wait to be officially related to her!

Happy Birthday Danielle!!!

My sis has a blog.

My sister, Caitlin, aka- Landy, aka - Caity, aka - Darwin, has a blog. It is very fun....and funny. If you read it, you will have a snippet of what my life is like living with her. Her first entry is a rant that can be expected daily....if not more frequently. Go check it out!

Lazy...but busy summer!

I have started this post about five times, but have never had enough motivation to finish it. Perhaps it is because my computer is slowly dying (it has been good to me for 2 degrees and 5 1/2 years) or perhaps it is simply because it is summer and I can always find other things to do that are more fun and more exciting.

Some of the highlights of my lazy, nearly work-free summer have included: trips to the beach, playing with friends and cousins, concerts (I basically held hands with Tim McGraw for one whole second), bikes, books, pools, new running shoes, naps, movies (Must see movies include: Ironman, The Incredible Hulk, Indiana Jones, Kung-Fu Panda, and Get Smart), games, garage sales, and unfortunately a lot of picking up.

My Auntie Shirlene once posted a picture of her kitchen displaying the summer effects, I just remember the line of pop cans. I recently went into my kitchen to find no fewer than a dozen empty pop cans waiting for recycle by the sink. I don't drink soda, so I found that significant. From my position here at the computer I can see exactly 3 empty soda cans/bottles. I would spend my day picking them all up, but as I am trying to hide from the nearing 100 degree weather today (with no air conditioning) I think they will just stay there for the time being.


Today's game plan includes, the pool, a book I have to read for book club, and going somewhere with air. I hope all of you are staying appropriately cool and having appropriate fun this summer.

I don't think it was the tomatoes...

...and neither does the doctor at the ER, but it sure felt like salmonella poisoning.

I spent four quality hours hooked up to an IV giving me fluids and a variety of medications yesterday morning. I do not recall being that sick in my working memory. My thanks goes to St. V's emergency department and their readily available supply of phenergan.

Quote of the day:

(While talking with Advice Nurse) "Wake up your husband and have him take you to the Emergency Room."

First of all, why would she presume I am married. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, if I did have a husband, he would not be sleeping through that kind of sickness. I just don't understand some people.
