Immune Systems Take Breaks for Thanksgiving too.

Not to be SO negative, but I am sick. I'm not the kind to keep track very well, but I feel like I always get sick around the holidays. And it's not normal sick. It's like I get every sickness that exists, but not usually all at once, my body tricks me into thinking I'm getting better by the end of the day, then I wake up with some new ailment, with the lingering sicknesses from before. It's like a conga line. Like, I literally think the germs are having a party while my immune system is on vacation for the week.

Break Down Of My Holiday Sickness Conga Line:

Late Sunday night: start feeling a little sore in my throat. also, on my period.

Monday: wake up with a fever, fatigue, chills, aches, and of course the sore throat. also on my period.

Tuesday: aches, sore throat, little fever, humble beginnings of a sinus infection, headache, and of course fatigue. period finally ends.

Wednesday: Throat is worse than ever, sinus infection starts to set in. Still fatigue.

Thursday: Sore throat is less bad, sinus build up starting to get out of control. Stomach hurts. Also I get carsick on the trip. But by later in the evening, I am feeling all but better. Lay down, start coughing some.

Friday (right now): Wake up with major sinus pressure in my face, sinus headache, and coughing, light sore throat, and little to no voice.

And the rest is to be continued, I am sure I'll be sick until I have to go back to work on Monday.

Oh, irony.

for all my friends and family in utah.

i love you.

MEN HAVE VERY SKEWED PERCEPTION OF THE PURPOSE OF PURSES.

i'm not going to make this elaborate, because the title explains it all.

most girl's significant others, or best manfriend, etc. have at some point in their life asked them to bring their purse to sneak in candy or snacks at the movies. or asked them to carry something (wallet, keys, phone, camera.) in their purse when going to some kind of event.

but i think i have a purse story that trumps all men trying to use women for their purse stories.

on our anniversary, which was on friday, Taylor took me to cirque du soleil. which was incredible, and then to the atlanta fish market, which according to Jamie "is really goo...a lot of people really lii.... it's really raved about." (inside joke, you're on the outside.) I ordered Lobster Scampi, and Taylor ordered King Crab Legs. THEY WERE GINORMOUS. (which actually isn't a word, I checked. just call me Sarah Palin.) When we were finished, Taylor asked me if he could keep the claw as a souvenir. I told him I didn't care, assuming that he would get a box to go and put it inside. But when the check rolled around he didn't ask for a box and wrapped the claw in a napkin, i knew what was coming. I knew what was coming because this is the guy who made me bring my purse to a couple of concerts for the sake of storing his camera (and I HATE bringing my purse to shows.) So when he asked, I was resistant at first but then I decided I could do him a solid and store the skeleton claw in my purse for him. After all, he did drop a few hundred bucks on me all for celebrating one year of putting up with me.

Here's a visual aid:

*not my actual purse.

The Notebook.

I found this in an email I wrote to my friend 2 years ago and I thought it was funny.

"when you are in love, it's everything, your story is epic, similar to "The Notebook." but to everyone around you, it's not that intense or epic, it's just another "couple". But some people don't understand the concept that everyone is not that impressed with their love story. I think this is because a lot of people fake like they are into these lame love stories. I don't know. Am I even making sense? I want mine to be like the "The Notebook" to everyone around me, but I still won't talk about it that much, cause I'm not 15 anymore."

However, now, I would say my love story is a little more like, Everybody Loves Raymond. Romantic! Le sigh.

One year anniversary post to come later.
