Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust comin’ in under 5 minutes. My 1st video blog. I share with you the news of my family tragedy, a new acquisition, and a VERY fresh face. I hope you enjoy. Please leave a comment or if you have a question, don’t hesitate to ask!
How did I do?

In 11 days, I will be here!! Vacation!
I haven’t posted or really done much of anything lately due to overwhelming sickness. I am starting to slowly come back (I think, I hope) and I really wanted to write something and remembered my Tumblr Challenge. I think it’s funny it was Day 8, because I’ve been thinking about goals and “what next?”
Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why.*
Goals
- Lose 8-10 lbs
- Cardio 3x a week, strength training 3x a week
- Read two books
- Have a WONDERFUL holiday! (My honey and I are going away :)
- Write at least 4 snail mail letters (want a postcard from South Africa?!)
- Get my hair done and get some color on my skin
- Work- create cirriculum & organize day activities!
*I’m going to count August as “this month” because well, it’s the end of July and it needs to be over already.
Only after disaster can we be resurrected.

I need to remember this. I am destroyed right now.
I wish I could watch episodes of Intervention on my iPhone as I lay here in bed, sick as a dog. That is all.
Guess which color I painted my nails? =) *A little bit of Fun Friday for yah*
- Chinchilly- A matte grey (sooooo gorgeous)
- Looking for Love- A gentle, pretty light purple (dreamy!)
- Mesmerize- A fierce bold blue (perfect to add a little shabang)
So which one do you think?
The flu is kicking my ass.
I slept for… 13+ hours today and could go right back to bed. Granted, if I did that, I would actually probably feel really good tomorrow but right now I have to clean the house, myself, and go to the shops because my honey’s sister is staying with us this evening and tomorrow night. I am a mess. It will be ok. Deep breaths.
Oh and I’m still watching what I eat despite the fact that I am sick. That is NOT an excuse to be nasty to myself!
Is pretty much my entire world right now.
I’ve been sick since Wedsnesday. I’m still not feeling any better. I sleep most of the day after taking meds in the morning. These are my meds:

From top left: Linctus- to loosen the mucous in my chest; Vibrocil- nasal spray to loosen the mucous in my nose; Myprodol- anti inflammatory for fever and pain; Profibro (or something) which is a Probiotic (to prevent thrush or, even better, yeast infections from the anti-biotics. Remember to ask for this if you get prescribed anti-biotics); and finally, Augmentin a 5 day course of anti-biotics. Lovely.
The meds give me pretty horrible shakes and I’m tired all day. I am on bed rest, and pretty much watch tv all day although yesterday I did clean up and go to the shops since my honey’s sister is staying with us this weekend (as well as my honey’s 2 kids).
I’m not worried about gaining weight, I’m actually thinking I may lose some weight, but not in a good way. It will be new muscle I’ve developed I think. So I’m more worried about that post-sickness weakness. I was *just* starting to feel strong and really kick ass. I’ll have to do some research about how to get back into working out, because if I’ve been sick for the past 3 days and not feeling any better, then I think my recovery time is going to be quite extensive.
We are going on a holiday in 2 weeks and I was looking forward to maybe being 2 lbs lower just to feel better and earn it. Well, not sure about that. I’ll just try to pack my cutest clothes, and thankfully I have a bathing suit I love.

To end this woeful post, I am watching Jerseylicious. It’s ridiculous and I love it.
