Happy Monday, everyone! I'd like to say that this week has been off to a great start, but after waking up feeling like I did this morning, that would be a bit of a stretch. When I planted my feet on the floor at about 8:00 am and tried to stand up, I felt like I had just gotten off of the teacup ride at Disney World. This dizzy, off-balance sensation lasted for about four hours and all I could do was sit on the couch and pick at some grapes. Thank goodness for good friends- Mer came right over and took me to the Minute Clinic at CVS (lesson learned? Get health insurance IMMEDIATELY when you move to a new place.) There wasn't much they could do for me so I did as Mom told me to do and bought some vitamins, drank some V8 and laid low for the rest of the day. I'm thinking it might be an iron thing since now I'm not dizzy but just tired instead. But alas, darling Chris (who I scared to death by not picking up my phone for a few hours after telling him how I felt) came home and brought us some yummy, healthy dinner and made me take a nap and rest. Hooray for that.
Onto more interesting topics... Friday I threw Chris a surprise bday party! His birthday isn't until Wednesday but I figured it would be easier to get people together on a weekend. Mer came over and helped me set up Friday morning and by the time I left the house to go to work it was filled with decorations, balloons and treats! Not to mention a hilarious cake with Chris's baby pic scanned on it. We went out with some of his friends after work but when I told him we needed to be home by 8 (since the guests would've been there by then) he didn't seem to understand the urgency in my voice. After a bit of coaxing, he probably knew I was up to something, but it worked and we were only fifteen minutes late. Not too shabby. He was definitely surprised and it was really great that a lot of his good friends could make it. We played cornhole (sorry, I can't help but chuckle), beer pong, hung out around the fire pit, and ate cake. At around midnight, Mer, Sam, Chris and I were all huddled on a bed looking out the window to see the Mars' moon that Mer was talking about but sadly all we could spot was a lone star.
Saturday, Chris and I went to Ryan and Amy's for a Rock Band party and let me just say, there is nothing better than Rock Band. Wait, there might be, it's called Just Dance. Amy introduced me to that one and let me tell you, the second I can afford a Wii, I am BUYING IT. I think my favorite moment might've been Chris and Dodd having a dance off to, oh god, who knows what song... U Can't Touch This perhaps? Classic.
Ohhhh and I have to backtrack to say that I successfully completed week one of classes!! Took two quizzes and did well, but am eternally pissed that I got one question wrong on my A&P quiz and still hold to the fact that it was a matter of interpretation. Ah well, not a horrible start for a new career in science. We'll take it. I'm working on being less of an anal retentive pain in the ass this time around.
I'd tell you what we did on Sunday but I'm embarrassed (get your minds out of the gutter). Let's just say there was a One Tree Hill marathon on..... I'll leave you with that.
Ok, off to get some more icecream. I say more because clearly I've already eaten one bowl. Love that Mom asked if I was eating when we talked today... as if I'd let myself go hungry for even four seconds.
QUIET, inner 400 pound woman. The reindeer sweaters will come. All in good time.
XOXO
Mine will have lights BUILT IN.
