Tomorrow I am getting back on the wagon, sorta speak, and not eat so much all the time. Today we had Carls Jr. burger, and well, yum ! But that’s the last of the meat for me. I cannot lose weight and eat meat. I will get back to veggies. It’s not like I have a fridge full, because I do! Plus, we have fish in the freezer too. I like fish. Normally when I go out to eat at a restaurant I order fish or soup; low calories.

Waiter, I can’t seem to find any oysters in this oyster soup. Would you expect to find angels in angel cake? good joke, eh? okay, not that great I guess, ha!

I am not much of an Oyster eater but soup is good and I do like oyster soup. I hear that Gulf oysters are the best. I should probably learn more about them. However, we dont live near the ocean, but we do have very good restaurants around here that fly in fresh fish daily.

Wow. The Admin just came ’round work w/a box and I mean a big box, full of individual Kleenex and hand sanitizers. She was passing them out. The flue is rampant in our department. Everyone I know has been out at least 2-3 days over this. I still cannot hear a dang thing; waiting for my head to clear up. Plus, I am tired of only blogging about being sick!

It’s so boring in life right now, nothing is happening. Nada. Zip. Zilch. We are all just waiting around and trying to get healthy again. No Fun :(

I have been wanting to get some business cards made up now for a long while. I used to have some a while back when I taught private music lessons, but now-a-days, the cards are much cooler! All I needed to do was go online, find a neat logo design and add some personal touches. It was a free service for me (and you) to find the right match, get colors, designs, fonts and and tons of other stuff. It’s a very easy step by step process to create a card, the only hard part for me was downloading the image onto my blog cuz I wanted to share my creation!

Monday is here, however I am not quite with it yet. I am still in a fogg. Cannot hear a thing, coughing, sneezing and still plain miserable. This cold is dragging on forever and I dont like it. I can bearly walk to the bathroom so I am just sitting here at my desk reading my million and one emails from work. I do not think I am contagous anymore so that why I showed up today. 3 sick days already and its only February! My Gosh. I hope the rest of the year will get better. *sigh*

Oh goodness I dont want to be sick anymore. I feel like a truck ran over me, squishing my head and beating up my body. I slept 9 hours last night and still am tired. I have not been this bad in as long as I can remember. This is hell! moan…..

My son is collecting the State Quarters. He only needs 5 more and they are to going to be distributed throughout the year. Every time we get a quarter we see what State it is from. Today we got one from South Carolina. The quarter has a picture of a Bird, a Tree and an outline of the State itself. It got me thinking about new homes of Spartanburg SC. So I went on the the Internet and did a little searching and it seems the homes there are about the same prices as they are here these days. Thats one reason my son in collecting quarters is to save money so one day he can get his very own home too!

I am so very glad it is Friday today. I went to work and 30 minutes later, left. We had two people out today and I wanted to make sure the work was covered. Luckily I have the best co-workers and they were able to cover for me too. I went back home sick. This is my 2nd sick day, no, make that the 3rd, sick day this year already ! and I am never sick ! This cold really hit me hard. I was out all day yesterday and most of today. I am not doing one thing this weekend but sit on the couch. ugh.

Yesterday an very old friend and his daughter came into town for a visit. Most of our family got together and as usual, my mom starting talking about the old times. She is from Germany and I love hearing her stories. I was there couple years ago, and I would really like to move there. Well, for about five years is all! I don’t want to live there forever, but I would love to improve my German language, learn more about my heritage and culture. I might even look for some French property to rent and perhaps live there for a bit. I took a French class last summer, so I need to improve my French as well as German. Luckily we have a website (see the below picture!) that are in English where I could rent a home until I got the languages down.

Well I stayed home from work today. sicker than sick. It is just no fun being sick. My son was sick last week and I contribute me being sick to him being sick. The little turkey thought it was SO funny to sneeze on me, belch on me and breath on me. He got a good laugh when I go so mad. But now, its my turn to laugh, well sorta. Cuz now he has to take care of me and I warned him this would happen when he kept sneezing on me. errrrr. I think I will go back to bed now. ugh.

I love to Ski. I have Skiied in the US, in Germany and in Austria. My dream of all dreams would be to stay at some luxury chalets in Courchevel, France. I had a friend that skiied in France way back when, and he said it was the best! I dont know about that, as the snow here in Utah is pretty darn good too! And since I would be in France, I would not mind checking out Meribel, France and even travel to St Anton, Austria. Plus, the food and Wine in Europe, I must admit, is much better than the US. Yum.
