So in my last post I mentioned that I am always sick, well I spit the truth more than I wish I did. Yesterday I went to work (since I work at a doctor's office) and visited one of our doctors there and lo and behold....drum roll....I have influenza!!!! Yep, the freaking flu! (I've always said that flu shots don't work...) So, my doctor sent me home for the rest of the week. Which as much as I like that idea; it kind of sucks.
And then to top it all of, my dear sweet Holty, who never ever gets sick started to get a sore throat yesterday morning and so when I met with my doctor he told me to make sure that Holt met up with one as well. So later that day we find out that Holt has pharyngitis (which is a bacteria in his throat). Poor kid. So he was instructed to stay home, but with me around, I am almost positive that he is going to catch the flu-if he already hasn't.
We are a mess. I feel like we are mutants sentenced to just live the rest of life out in the basement of quarantine. Pathetic! so we really do need some ideas on how to keep us entertained. We're going crazy!!

Okay, here are some ideas:
-Get a bunch of magazines and ENJOY!
-Choose an actor/actress & have a movie marathon of their work
-Give yourself a fake tan (I put mine on wearing rubber gloves--so i don't get crazy orange hands)
-Read a Janet Evanovich book--they're quick reads (you'll be laughing out loud)
-Choose a celebrity you are interested in and look for interviews of them on youtube (Barbara Walters' interviews are especially juicy)--like Whitney's "crack is whack" interview!
-EasyMac & Better Crocker cake bowls (both microwavable) make for some fast comfort food
-You probably already watch this, but "How I Met Your Mother" is a very funny show & you can get episodes at Blockbuster
-get a new gaming system & play rock band or guitar hero all day
-Puffs tissues now have a special Vicks tissue (the BOMB)
-Get a face mask that has peppermint (or something that opens your nose) and relax w/a couple of cucumber slices on your eyes (wal mart has little packets
-Get a kitty and cuddle with it all day
-Dirty Scrabble (spell dirty words w/scrabble pieces)--try to make up new dirty words
...I may add more later.
yes, I did type "Better Crocker"...NICE
Thank you so much Angie!!! Now I have my Friday and Saturday planned out. These are such great recommendations! You really are the best!
Well, you are very welcome. Here is another suggestion (this book really rules): The Color Code by Taylor Hartman-- if you get it, you and Holt take the personality profile test (p. 32, I believe). You can read all about your color combinations & how they work in your relationship. It's super-fun, but also very very helpful in understanding your partner and your relationship. This book has done wonders for me and Bear, as well as understanding other family members, it's sortof AMAZING!
You should DEF get a kitty!!!
