Just Another Manic Monday!!!!

This one time (yesterday) I woke up with what I thought was the strep AGAIN!!! already I’m agitated cuz I can not deal with that crap again!!! Not to mention that the last time I had it they had talked about maybe needing to get my tonsils taken out if I keep getting it like that. Ummm no thanks I’m good! I try looking at my throat in the mirror with a flashlight but it’s so swollen I can barely open my mouth and every time I swallowed I wanted to die!! On top of that I was having some difficulty breathing. Just walking across the room totally made me winded-please I’m not that out of shape!!! So I soldiered on and went to work and everyone could tell I was not feeling well. Steer clear folks!!! So at 11:00 I went over to my doctor’s office to get checked out thinking they’d shove some antibiotics down my throat and send me on my way. WRONG!!! the Physician’s assistant checks me out and has the nurse do a swab for strep-which I had never had before cuz it’s always been so bad they could just look at me and know I had the strep. I could do without having another one of those throat swabs!! Totally almost hurled!! So that comes back negative. The PA has the doctor come in and look at me and he decides that prolly I have an infection or something in my tonsils and that I need to go get a CT scan to check things out. And then I hear some nonsensical talk about maybe having to put a needle in my throat to drain out the infection. Ummmmm yeah that can NOT happen!! so they send me on my way to go get a CT scan. I get over to the place and have to put these wretched scrubs on-I was lookin hot I’m sure!! they get everything situated-which took forever-and get me in the CT machine, start my IV, and tell me what’s gonna be going down. they have to inject you with Iodine for the scan and the nurse said it feels really warm going in blah blah blah but that’s normal. She said if I start feeling sick or itchy or can’t breathe or anything to let them know right away cuz that means I’m prolly allergic to the iodine. Yeah turns out I am!!! They inject it all in me and as soon as she finished I could not breathe!!! Panic!!!! They pull me out of the machine and sit me up and the doctor runs over and they give me something to counteract that and then I thought I was going to hurl!!! And even better I broke out in some hives on my face and neck-now if that’s not hot I don’t know what is!!!! I’m of course panicking cuz I can’t breath and think I’m going to hurl which I’m sure would have felt great with my sore throat!! And then at 1st they said they didn’t get the scan done in time before I wigged out so then I felt bad for some reason and kept apologizing-like it’s my fault!! Please!!! after they get me situated I start getting really tired from the meds they gave me-great!! so they made me lay in there for a bit and then said they needed to keep me there for another hour so they could watch me. so they move me to another room and just laid there kinda dozing in and out. I had to call Jenny to come pick me up cuz they wouldn’t let me drive. Good grief!! so after that I had to head back over to the doc’s office to figure out what they wanna do with me. at this point I’m thinking “there better be something really wrong with me after all this!!!” they decided to leave my IV port in just in case the doc wanted to give my IV antibiotics so there I am wandering around town with an IV shoved in my arm!!! I get back over to the doc’s office and the PA has yet ANOTHER doc come in and look at my throat but since it’s so swollen and hurts like nobody’s business he decides that we should numb the back of my throat so he can look at it better without me wanting to junk punch him!! so they lay me down and spray this stuff in the back of my throat and it was DISGUSTING!!!! I shot straight up and again almost blew chunks!! So nast!! He looks at my throat again and then it turns out that they were able to get my scan done before I wigged out so in the end I had an abscess on my tonsil which had caused this big infection and that left un treated would either cause my throat to close up (which it was on its way to doing anyway) or could even travel up into my brain. Good grief!!! so they give me these massive antibiotic pills to take and a steroid shot-right above my butt nevermind and it hurts like nobody’s business and still does! Oh and right before I left I’m all “oh did you guys wanna take out this IV I’ve been carrying around!?!” don’t worry that it’s totally bruised now. I finally got to go home close to 5:00-I was spent!! What a day right?!?!

So there’s my story!!!!! How were all of your days!?!?!?

Worst Date Ever!!!

This is in response to the "Question of The Day" on my sister Kristy's blog:

This wasn't so much a bad date because of something my date did, but becuase i'm a raging idiot!!!! here you go: this one time when I was at the college we had this group date going and the guy that was my date didn’t have a car (that’s kinda loserish but most people at the college didn’t have cars) so I went to go pick him up and the street where his apartment building was wasn’t lit like at all and it’s night so it’s totally dark. I had never been over there before either. So I can see that there’s a set of stairs you have to go down and then walk up to the building. Well I couldn’t see how many steps there were or how far apart they were or anything-all I could see was where they started and where they stopped so what did I do? I decided that the smartest thing to do was to just take a big flying leap over the stairs and avoid them all together!! Genius right!?! So that’s just what I did!!! Kinda got a sort of running start and took a flying leap over the stairs!!! Totally cleared the stairs (go me!!!) but when I landed my ankle totally snapped!! I heard this awful crunching sound and it hurt let me tell you!! I was like “oh sh!t!!!!” 1st I tried just walking it off but that wasn’t happening and I didn’t want to have to tell him that I needed to cancel cuz I was retarded!! So I sucked it up and soldiered on with the date. I walked up 3 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS to his apartment and then back down and then had to drive. We went bowling and it took me forever to get up and bowl and somehow by the end of the night he found out that I had hurt my ankle so I had to tell him what happened. It was a long night and totally embarrassing!!!! And i was on crutches for like the next week!! Lovely!!

Feel free to share your bad date stories!!!!

But I Loved Him!!!!

Can we just observe a moment of silence for the passing of one of my Hollywood Husbands? Of course I’m devastated!!! I love Paul Newman!!!! If you’ve never seen Cat On A Hot Tin Roof you MUST go out right now and rent it!!! You will not be disappointed!! Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor-does it get much better than that?!?! I think I might have myself a Paul Newman marathon this weekend-that’ll make it all better!!!

I Went To Lose a Jolly Hour On The Trolley!!!

Clank, clank, clank went the trolley!!! You better believe i was singing the trolley song from Meet Me In St. Louis as we rode the trolley car through the streets of San Fran!!! It was very exciting!!!! After standing in line an exceptionally long time we boarded the trolley and it was so full that Loren had to hang onto the pole on the side of the car-it was great!! Maybe not for him but me & Johnny got a kick out of watching him have to dodge any cars on the roadside and having his personal space seriously invaded by the guy next to him!!! We rode the trolley to the end of the track at Union Square where we went to this ENORMOUS mall!! Loren was in heaven!! We trolled around the shopping district for a bit and #1 my hair was a wreck!! I had to go and purchase something to pull it back with! Good grief!! #2 it was getting chilly outside so thank heavens for Old Navy I was able to pop in the 3 floored store there and purchase a little sweatshirt! so that's the reason for the wardrobe change folks!! After we ate dinner we again boarded the trolley and headed to Ghirardelli Square!!! Magical!!! We came upon this little cupcake store that had the appearance of our beloved Sprinkles Cupcake store so we just had to check it out!! It was NOT Sprinkles mmmkkkaaayyy!!! And the chick working there seemed quite offended when Loren mentioned Sprinkles to her!! so touchy!!! They were good cupcakes and would get you by if you needed a cupcake fix but they are not Sprinkles by any stretch!! Then we headed over to get ice cream!!! delicious!! Me & Loren both wisely chose The Gold Rush which is ice cream, peanut butter, and Ghirardelli chocolate!!! I am really on this peanut butter kick lately and it was fantastic!! Johnny on the other hand was not so smart in his dessert selection and got this milkshake that seemed more like a glass of melted ice cream!! We didn't even bother taking a picture of it!! Too bad Precious!!

While in San Fran we also went to Fisherman's Wharf and I got to gaze out at the ocean!!! I heart the ocean!!! Oh we also ate fish 'n chips at one of those little roadside seafood places and it was delicious!! We hoovered that food in let me tell you!!! By the time we got home we were exhausted and I was sunburned but man it was a great day!!!

Alcatraz!!!

So I just got back from visiting Johnny (my Precious) in sunny California!!!! We're gonna need to do this in chapters or everyone will just be overloaded with all my pics and stories!!! We'll start with Alcatraz!!! I have been wanting to go there for like forever and was more excited for this than pretty much anything else on my trip!!! Me, Johnny, and Loren took a little road trip to San Francisco and it was very exciting!! We took the ferry out to the island which was way fun!! We took the "Audio Tour" of the island where they just give you a headset and send you on your way-genius!!! No listening to a stupid tour guide trying to be funny or stupid tourists asking asinine questions!! It was a very interesting place. I think the thing I was most surprised by was when they talked about how some of the guards had their families living on the island with them-WITH THE PRISON RIGHT THERE!!! That's insane!!! There were quite a few areas that were closed off cuz the place is old and falling apart and that made it all the more creepy!! For some reason I had a morbid curiosity with the Morgue-which we were not allowed to go in but we could look through the window so that would have to do!!! We got to get inside a few of the cells and I'm not gonna front it was a little creepy!!! I was having visions of that movie The Rock where the tour comes through and they get inside the cells and then Ed Harris pops out and locks them all in and holds them hostage!! Now while I would love for Ed Harris to pop out as he is one of my Hollywood Husbands-I just don't have time for such shenanigans!!! Don't fret tho-Ed Harris was no where in sight!!!! we spent a good couple hours on the island and it was all very exciting!!! Anywho-enjoy the pics and hunker down cuz there's more to come!!!

Road Trip!!!!

Me, Strudel, and Jenny took a little trip down to Utah over the weekend. It was good times!! We arrived at Kristy & Todd’s on Friday evening and stayed with them until Sunday. This would be Jenny’s 1st weekend away from Boyfriend since being married & she was trippin a little bit!! Married people are so weird!!! Why do they fall apart if they’re away from each other for more than a day!?? You lived your entire life without that person but 1 weekend away is about to do you in?!! Get serious people!! Ok back to the weekend….Saturday we had an unsuccessful shopping outing with Kristy. We all barely bought anything!! Weird how we all had money to spend and seemed to not be in the mood to spend it!! I don’t understand what’s going on here!!! Saturday night me & Jenny ventured up to Salt Lake to play with my BFF Jared & his wife & kids-who are so stinkin cute!!!

New Baby Alex-who has the greatest head of hair you’ve ever seen!!!



Me & Kameron!! That kid has the most fantastic little personality and totally makes me wanna have kids and that’s sayin something since everyone knows I don’t generally care for kids!!! All night long he kept calling me & Jenny “the ladies”!!! I love it!!!



Whenever we get together with them we tell all the same stories and they’re just as funny as when they happened in real life!!! Me & Jared were just kids when we met and now we’re getting so old!! Ok we were like 20 or 21 when we met but come on!!! I freaking love those guys!!!




And we got to spend some quality time with OP!!! ok really I think we saw him a total of like 2 hours the whole weekend cuz he was ALWAYS sleeping!!! Who knew being a baby was so exhausting!! But man he’s so sitnkin cute!!!

I heart the Olympics!!!!!

I would just like to take a moment to say how much I HEART the Olympics!!!! I have been waiting all year for them to start!! I am really into the swimming right now and just about wet my pants when the US won the men’s relay race on Sunday night!!! It was so awesome!!!! Those Frenchies were talking a bunch of smack and thought they totally had that one in the bag!!! Stupid Frenchies!!!! That was one of those leaping off the couch, screaming at your TV moments!!! Man it was fantastic!!!!



And even though my boyfriend Ian Thorpe decided to retire (rude!!!!)



Man that Michael Phelps makes it all better!!!



My sister Jamie is trying to say she’s boycotting these Olympics (too bad she’s glued to the TV every night!!!) don’t fret she’s not going to kill my Olympic spirit-I heart the games too much!!!!
