BY some miracle of God i eeked out an 85% on the micro test... seriously the best guessing i've ever done in my life... now I know how Archimedes felt when he ran down the street naked shouting EUREKA!!!

My weekend Bliss...
It was SUCH a long weekend and not at all in a good way. Its one saving grace was that both America’s Next Top Model AND Law and Order SVU had weekend long marathons, so I could go back and forth between the two stations if I’d seen a previous episode; AND the TV Gods were on my side!!! Every single time I’d seen one episode on one channel the other would be one I’d never seen!!! OH JOY!!! My brain has been officially fried…. It’s sort of nice…. The fried brain I mean…. lalalalalaa
Why did I waste a perfectly glorious weekend such as it was (70’s and beautiful) languishing away the 1st real weekend of spring on the couch? BECAUSE I GOT THE STOMACH FLU! Ugh. It probably wasn’t really the stomach flu… but along with spring comes allergies, along with allergies; sinus head aches and when compounded by morning sickness; dehydration and dehydration to migraine and migraine to MORE throwing up…. It was a nasty vicious cycle which I’m glad to say I survived with a little more grace then I’m used to showing. I only slightly martyred myself to my husband who left me at my sick couch to play poker… You know typical damsel in distress theatrics… hand to forehead and breast… ‘no don’t worry about me honey, I’ll make it here all alone… don’t even stop to think of me throwing up all over the floor and mopping it up on my own’ (clearly my attempts at cajoling him in to staying had no effect as I was left to suffer, while he wiled the hours away much more pleasurably) in consolation, he did sin some money which WILL be used to take me out when I am better. Hopefully.
Here’s the worst of it, I have a test today in microbiology, not really the sort of topic you flub your way through (and only managed to review about ½ the material… okay about 1/5 if I’m being completely honest). Which I will hopefully get to cram for; if I can some how get all my task done at work. Hahahahaha we’ll see.
Oh well. I guess that’s not the worst thing that has, had or will happen to me. On the bright side NBC4s’ TOM KIEREIN has promised we have seen the last of freezing temperatures and the OBGYN has promised that this second trimester should be a breeze!!! Things are definitely looking up.
I probably wont look too far up though, because the last time I did a bird baptized me… I think that’s supposed to be good luck in some countries!
Till next time!

'I would like to buy a vowel'
‘Yes I’d like to buy a vowel please’ says the shiny faced contestant to Pat Sajak, who confidentially responds in the affirmative, indicating that ‘yes’ there are 4 letter A’s as the lovely Vanna saunters across the board giving clarity to a puzzle that without vowels was unsolvable… I wish that were more like life… Yes life, I’d like to buy a clue, please reveal the missing pieces that will pull all of this together! Maybe that’s why wheel of fortune is my new favorite game show (granted there is always your dim witted sluggish tongued contestant who can still not figure out the puzzle phrase ‘D_N’T L_T TH_ S_N G_ D_WN _N Y_ _ R _ N_ G_R’ okay on here that doesn’t look so easy to solve… but you get the picture (don’t let the sun go down on your anger).
It’s like when people say that hind sights 20x20 or that the grass is never greener on the other side, those vowels sure make the picture a lot clearer, hindsight now would serve us much better then later and that grass sure does look green….
I feel ashamed at my feelings of discontent. It’s like you’re prepared from childhood for life and life isn’t altogether what you’d thought it would be. I’m not saying I regret any decisions, or that I don’t love all the people in my life, only that I’m left with these thoughts of “that’s it?” It’s the inevitable conclusion to everything I suppose. You’re dying to try a new restaurant and once you have, the novelty wears off. That sweater at Bloomingdales is the MUST have of the season, and now it lays quite alone in the bottom drawer. The vacation wasn’t quite as wonderful, the nap wasn’t quite long enough. Maybe I’m just a dissatisfied sort of person, designed with living the mindset of one who’s only 95% satisfied.
V, my sister would say this is where we must CHOOSE joy! Especially us Christians who are supposed to live in the newness of God’s promise; there is no newness today. Sometimes choosing joy is exhausting! There’s always a goal, always another class, always something to attain. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, always waiting, always watching… but for what? GOD, THROW ME A VOWEL!
LOL, maybe it’s just this pregnancy making me so despondent, thoughtful and reflective. There’s got to be a silver lining somewhere right?
Here’s hoping,
