I Lived to Tell Another Tale

....so I survived the swine flu or what I think was the swine flu. They don't test you unless you are either preggers, a child or an elderly person. I was none of those so I didn't get tested. I was confined to the couch Wed, Thurs and Friday and then on Saturday I felt like I could get off the couch and went to the grocery store to get more flu medicine. On Sunday I was able to go shopping at Costco and managed to get 40% of my christmas shopping done. But I was really tired when I got home. Today, I went to work and I am feeling about 70% back to normal. The the other 30% involves mucus oozing around in my head. That mucus is currently giving me a sinus headache. Long hot showers seem to help but this was the first time the flu medicine didn't really seem to be effective other than knocking me out for a few hours to sleep. Luckily, the sniffling, sneezing and fever are gone. I must say the mighty power of blue gatorade got me through this flu.

Being sick really wasn't much fun. I thought I would get some much needed rest with my two sick days from work but really all I could do was watch some TV and some really bad TV at that. Do you know they have remade "Let's Make a Deal" with my friend Jeff Daly's lookalike?? That show should be zonked! They also updated "The Price Is Right" with Drew Carrey. Is it me or does Drew seem to be having a really bad time? They still have the same Bob Barker games but the new colors are cheesy and Drew himself doesn't look like he is enjoying hosting. He kinda seems fake about hosting. Hummm? I had to ask why is this funny comedian hosting a game show. Seems kinda like a waste.

I also learned that I don't need to worry about Moses. Even though that dog sleeps a good 8-9 hours every night he doesn't seem to mind sleeping several more hours throughout the day. Who knew dogs liked to sleep so much?? I am completely jealous. Even in my sickness I couldn't sleep that much. I have noticed though that my dog likes to sleep in weird positions. I wished I had a camera of how he lays on the couch with his head cocked up. You can't help but laugh out loud when you witness this sight.

Well, that is pretty much all I have to say on the swine flu. Don't rub your eyes people. I found myself doing that a lot lately and whalla I got sick. So sanitize those hands and take care of yourselves!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
