Tonight there is a blue moon

and for some reason i find that very romantic! A Blue moon is the 13th full moon in a year, usually there are only 12 full moons in a year. Apparently there hasn’t been since 1990, or something like that. Anyways, I am really looking forward to spending this blue moon new years with my loves (rad, mouse, pickles, food).

So something that doesn’t happen once in a  blue moon, i have bronchitis! and an inhaler that will hopefully make me feel better! I think I also have a cold because all of sudden my nose is all stuffy. oh well! I am making the most of this evening and am gonna make some wicked appetizers!

So last night I almost killed my lungs because I somehow participated in a 3 person bar hop with j-bot and jessaroo. Staying up until 2:30 am was the hardest thing ever! I wanted to die I felt so sick!  But it was a fun night which included a pub, a mexican restaurant, an empty club, and a martini bar. random. girls night out. lol. Now that is something that def happens only once in a blue moon. Our pizza deliver guy was redic last night. He blabbed on and suddenly was like I’m gonna go…. it was weird. okay my sense is going….bye! Happy New Years!

ouch! wtf is wrong with me? my mum is convinced that I have h1n1, because I didn’t get the vaccine, even though I am experiencing similar symptoms to her dad’s sickness and he had the shot. Anyways, I still feel like shit. Weird dull stomach pain, fever, sore throat and cough cough cough attacks. Oh and no energy whatsoever, which probably has something to do with the fact that I havent been eating much, even though I feel like I have been eating a lot, but i haven’t. I started the day off with a bowl of golden grahams…first mistake? it hurt my stomach. Then I had two tiny oranges and a pita bread with a bit of tzatziki and then another two tiny oranges and tea and water all day. ugh! I wanna feel better for at least New Years! Our big stay-in plans will be ruined! lol I just wanna enjoy the eggs benedict that we are attempting to make for new years day brunch! I also hope i feel better before schoo starts again….ugh…school….not ready to think about that yet!

okay so i guess i should stop resting my coffee on top of my open laptop…..

so after feeling better for two days I woke in the middle of the night to feel air gasping weirdly into and out of my lungs and then awoke again to a sore throat and nasty cough! fuck! so apparently I am not getting up off this couch this holiday season! i was planning out actually making it outside today to walk to the grocery store to get ingrediants for our dinner (black eyed pea soup) but  sick! and now it feels like -28 outside! balls!

I recieved The Beatles Rock Band for christmas and it’s freakin’ wicked! We’ve been playing it every night! Also, we’ve been making the best holiday drink ever! We make our hot chocolate from the cheap power and hot water, but we’ve been adding a few chocolate chips and the secret ingrediant…candy canes! The candy canes melt so nicely and the drink is sooooo delish!

So it looks like New Years is going to be lo key this year, which is exacty what I want! After the disaster that was last year, I swore that this year I wouldn’t go out. 2009 has been the most challenging year of my life and apparently I am not getting a break until the end of the year with all this sickness! But anyways, staying in with Rad and our kitties with some wine and delicious food and then we’re making eggs benedict in the morning! So pretty much best time ever. Rad has the 1st and 2nd off so i think we will pretty much hole up and not leave our love nest lol. sounds like the perfect start to a hopefully  less challenging year.

Hi

happy holidays! hope they were less stressful than mine! for the first time in years I was sick on christmas! with a fever starting on Dec 23 and ending sometime on Dec 25. Needless to say I am now officially enjoying some well needed/deserved rest! I have been feeling much better in the last two days but really have not left the couch-it’s all very exciting! so i have kittens crawling and jumping all over me and am watching marathon after marathon (degrassi, what not to wear, gilmore girls, big chef little chef, LA Ink). I am loving it!

I also poached my first egg today! It went pretty well, but slight improvements will happen next time! This is a very exciting prospect.

Also, my wii remotes are both fucked up. I guess I can then deduce that it must be my sensor bar if they are both fucked up. But all of a sudden, you point the remotes at the tv and the hand doesn’t appear, but the buttons do work! Also, when I plug my new classic controller into the wii remote it works fine! i have a weird feeling (and hopefully this is the case because it is an easy fix) that our christmas tree is fucking up the remote, because they stopped working about the time the tree first came. Anyways, the weirdest part is that sometimes you can get the hand to appear on the screen when you turn on the light on the wall perpendicular to the tv and point the remote at it. errrr it’s annoying! I want to play my new super mario bros! i guess i gotta suck it up and move the tree and see if that works!

So the kitties and I will just be chilling on the couch for the next week and loving every moment of it!

pickles is cuddling up to the keyboard to keep me warm on these long cold days of essay writing. right now she is purring up a storm, a very loud storm! yes! a cat with a loud motor! like those old toy cats that had a ball in their heads that rolled around and sounded like purring, kinda. anyways, i have been taking tons of pictures of these cutie kitties (mouse and pickles) and I will upload them perhaps after i finally finish this essay. I do see the light, sorta, as I have to hand this paper in tomorrow before 4 p.m. but i think that there might be a lot of work involved before then. oh! there goes my water! pickles just stuck her face in it! she is captured to every word that i am writing here. anyways, 4 days until christmas, two spent with essay, one with last minute preparations, and then christmas begins on eve day.  geez!

Ahh… nothing says saturday night in december like baking and watching cops!

things in pictures are bigger than they appear aka pickles

my heart hurts and i want to cry. essay season please end soon! i’ve done so well but i could ruin it all in these 3 assignments. the worst work i have produced thus far, but i’ve tried, i;ve tried so hard. and what a waste if it just comes to ruin! i’m down, can you tell?

steph just posted this on her blog and i loved it so much that i had to share it as well (as will i be showing it to my mum when she comes over in like 10 mins)
