We're still alive.

Just thought I'd let you know we are still alive and over our "plague". It has been a busy couple of weeks here. We are trying to get all our homestudy paperwork updated and on Monday we have a home visit. I also decided to bring all the animals up to date on their medical stuff. Nobody was overdue, but since I don't charge myself, I decided to make sure everyone was current before the social worker asked for proof. The picture has nothing to do with anything I'm talking about, I just thought it was too funny not to share.

Greetings from the House of Plague

Dan arrived home from Korea on Wednesday night. He got off the plane with a cold/sinus infection that he aquired somewhere over the Pacific. Unfortunately, he did not arrive home to a wife ready to nurse him back to health, because at the exact same time, I came down with the FLU. We have spent the past 3 days going to doctors, taking medicine and hiding in the house. Even with medicine, I continue to run a fever and Dan continues to sound like a dripping faucet. My hope is that we will be over this by Monday, because we need to get our fingerprints updated at the sherriff department for our home study.

1. I can write on myself with peroxide. I know this sounds weird, but if I wet a cotton tip swab with peroxide I can write things on my arm. I have only met 1 or 2 other people who can do this.
2. I sleep with a huge body pillow on Dan's side of the bed when he is out of town and I can't sleep without it.
3. I have to have all the blinds in a room turned the same way...i.e. all turned up or all turned down.
4. I am phobic of trains. I know it is stupid that is why it is a phobia.
5. When I was a little girl, my sister read a book to me about a "gypsy" cat. I then tried to pierce my cat's ear. I'm amazed it still have all my fingers...ha ha
6. I have a cadaver graft in my knee where my ACL was repaired.
7. I can't eat pancakes. Something about the fluffy texture, butter and syrup makes me nauseated. I can eat crepes and waffles.
Okay, I'm not going to tag anyone specific because everyone I know has already been tagged. If you want to do this...consider yourself tagged.

Dinner with friends

Tonight I had dinner with my friends Frank and Leslie at one of my favorite resturants.
I started off with a lovely Seaweed Salad.


And then a nice Houston Roll that has spicy Tuna on top.


We finished the meal off by sharing a 9 layer chocolate cake that is to die for........




This will probably be the highlight of my weekend, since I spent most of today and probably tomorrow working on taxes, home study documents and cleaning.
