the right stuff

Awww, yeah. Jill, Angie, and I-- Wearing the shirts with pride!

swollen face

So, I went to school today knowing that the right side of my face was still a bit swollen... It had started in the jaw (even though Larry told me he couldn't see any swelling-- it's quite clear in the photo of us), and it started to spread to my cheek and upper neck. Kelly kept telling me it was looking worse and encouraged me to go to urgent care this afternoon. Jill swooped in to sub for me, and I have now begun my course of antibiotics for a facial infection! Weird. ;) I head back to school in about 45 min. to go to our staff meeting. What an odd day.

Top 10 on 30th weekend

1. Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight are still HOT.


2. Larry is a good self-esteem booster, assuring me that my thirties will rock.
   
3. My old NKOTB t-shirt still fit and actually looked cuter than it used to.


4. Road trip music mix on mp3 player... rusted root, phish, missy higgins, ben harper, melissa ferrick, etc. ... makes me smile!



5. Crazy weather... downpours, hail, rainbow, sunny skies, ominous clouds, unusual cloud formation (hee hee)



6. Hangin' Tough with a little We Will Rock You thrown in for good measure.



7. Night out with Larry... Pontiac bar bands, Jumbo's drinks, Beevis & Butthead (don't ask), Psychedelic Horseshit spending the night too (don't worry- just a band from columbus), 4 a.m. bedtime




8. Detroit driving-- my favorite




9. Drinking wine and watching Arrested Development with Larry on an early night in (midnight-ish instead of 4)



10. I am thinking that 30 isn't so bad after all.

New Kids on the Block, let's rock

So, I am home sick from school today, and it's a good thing I am, because if I had gone in, I surely would have grown crabby and unhealthier. I have a scratchy throat and feel feverish, but I have taken medicine, had plenty of liquids, and SLEPT for forever. The reason this is important is because this weekend is a big one... turning 30 on Sunday (ack), heading to Detroit tonight where I'll see fabulous friend Larry, and tomorrow night I will be seeing in concert, for the first time in my life... Danny, Donnie, Joe, Jon, and Jordan! Woo-hoo!

I think I am gaining some energy, so I must be feeling better? Fingers crossed...

friends

lucy baby

She truly brings me peace of mind.

This photo is from a couple of weeks ago, but Lucy is my cuddle-bum kitty on a daily basis. And when she's not snoozing in my arms, she likes to kiss my face!
