So it's been a while, huh? Let's get caught up, shall we? **********

When I last posted, I had been to the doctor that day for a prescription. Turns out, though, that I picked up a little extra with that prescription...the stomach bug. It hit me early Tuesday morning and it was baaaaaad. I missed work Tuesday, Wednesday, and half of Thursday. I think that's the most I've ever missed for being sick. It took quite a few days before I was in the mood to eat again. Suffice it to say, I felt awful.

Remember the mantle from this post? I got to see it in person in its new home this past weekend. The homeowners eventually plan on updating the innards of the actual fireplace, but for now, I think it all looks pretty snazzy. What do you think?

This past weekend was my annual get together with my college girlfriends. It was so much fun. Three of the group have just announced that they're pregnant so it was weird fun talking about that. It definitely makes me realize how much we're growing up! I've known these girls for 9 and 1/2 years and I love them so much. Unfortunately, I never got my camera out, but hopefully someone will email me some soon so I can do a recap.

While I was slumber partying with the girls, Doc was at home with the kids. They are getting to the ages where they are so busy all the time! This weekend, W had a birthday party Saturday afternoon and A had an overnight party that night. It was nice that Doc and W were able to get in some good father and son time Saturday night. I think it was good for them.

The kids turned in their projects for the Academic Fair at school this week. Doc went at lunch today to see them. Here's A with hers:

And W with his:

Today is Day 15 with no caffeine. The headaches haven't been nearly as bad as I thought they would be, but I sure am sleepy a lot.  I used to spend all day drinking cokes; now I spend all day yawning. Seriously. I probably yawn at least 100 times a day. I just cannot seem to wake up!

I think Ellen's doing a good job on American Idol. I like that she doesn't just dish out a lot of fluff like Paula used to. She gives her honest opinion about how she feels about the songs but she doesn't a little more nicely than Simon. And, of course, I like to see the jokes she comes up with.

Next Monday is the finale on The Bachelor. He's gonna pick Vienna and it just kinda makes me sick. What in the world is he thinking?!?!

Tomorrow is Friday and I'm so glad. The week sure has felt long since I've been sleepy all day every day! :) Doc and I have absolutely nothing planned for the weekend. I don't remember the last time that happened, but I am so excited about it. Hope you're excited about yours too!
