I have that horrible feeling in my stomach that I used to get before tests and quizzes in school. That feeling that you get when you think of something coming up soon that you are absolutely dreading and know you can't avoid. Why do I have this feeling? Well, it's because I'm finally coming to the realization that in a little over 24 hours Nick ( Read more... )

Thursday I was crazy sick with food poisoning. I went to work feeling a bit odd and before long I was extremely nauseous and kept throwing up. I was of course sent home and because I couldn’t drink any water or take any meds because I kept throwing up, I quickly got dehydrated and had to go to Emergency Care. A shot and an IV later and I’m just ( Read more... )

Well, I'm definitely driving back to MD Friday after work. I don't think I can skip out early so I won't be getting back to Frederick until late that night. Of course I will be spending time with my grandmother and seeing some family who have flown in for the weekend, but it is a three day weekend because of Columbus Day being a federal holiday, so ( Read more... )

I have been meaning to update for quite some time. Over a week ago I wrote a ridiculously long post, but LJ crashed and deleted it right before I submitted it. I hate it when that happens. A lot of little things have happened in the last couple of weeks, so here I go with try number 2:

About two weeks ago, Matilda had her surgery. Her tumor was ( Read more... )

I lost an hour somewhere. It's 1am and 20 minutes ago I swear it was 11:40pm... so yeah, i dunno what happened.

I was listening to my ipod and Come On by Ben Jelen started playing. Then out of the blue I thought about the first time I ever heard that song... where I was, who I was with, what was going on at that point in my life and I started to ( Read more... )

 I'm seriously counting down the days... I CANNOT WAIT until NY and the Genesis concert. Just over two weeks away! I can't even describe how excited I am to see Nick after what has seemed like an eternity. And of course Genesis is going to be absolutely amazing, and apparently we have pretty good seats. Yay! And even better, I get to ditch out of ( Read more... )

My cousin Alan is finally out of Afghanistan. It took 6 days for him to get to Germany, but he is finally being debriefed and then can return home. After twice in Afghanistan and once in Iraq, it’s nice to know he can finally retire when he gets home and actually spend time with his 6 year old son. However, something intrinsically upsets me about ( Read more... )

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I just need to say that Nick Boire is the most amazing person in the world.

He got me a silver ipod nano!!! I have named it Penguie. :-)

I can finally listen to my music anywhere! I'm so excited and happy I may just pee myself! Best birthday gift ever! :-)

::Still jumping up and down with glee::

Nick = ( Read more... )

I’m tired, I’m cranky, and to quote a postdoc in my lab, I “look like hell.” Lovely, just lovely. This not sleeping thing needs to stop. Yes, I did go to bed around 2am last night, which is way too late on a work night, but once I did go to bed I couldn’t fall asleep. It’s ridiculous. So by the time my alarm goes off in the morning, I feel like I ( Read more... )

Well, last night Lisa's twin sister Jamie came to stay the night with her 5 year old son Damian. That kid is soooo social! As Lisa jokingly says, we immediately became BFFs. He wanted to hang out with me all night. It was cute.

This morning at 8am Damian comes running upstairs and was determined to wake me up. My door was locked, but he kept ( Read more... )
