Sizzle Sizzle Pop.....

First of all....Happy New Year to everyone. Yeah, I know I'm a bit late, oh well, better late than never :)

In my last posting (so long ago) I made the statement that you should NEVER ask, "What Next" well.........JUST DON'T DO IT!!! That "cold" that I had turned into bronchitis, coughed for a month, in November I was working at the school and got the flu from everyone there which quickly turned into Pneumonia. As if that didn't suck enough, the antibiotics that the doc prescribed me, same ole amoxicillin that I always get, gave me hives and now I'm allergic to it! After taking another antibiotic for a week, I started to slowly get better, still coughed a lot but the "pants p'ing" with every cough started to cease. Well.....D decided to share. What did he share you ask? Wellllllllllll.....he shared his lovely head cold! I am very happy to say that I am relatively healthy at this point in time. **knocking on wood**

Alex healed up well and rather quickly. He's playing basketball now as well as practicing his passes for football already. I don't think he's very amused about his collar bone being somewhat of a weather detector though. When a storm is coming, it aches. Speaking of collar bones, Em thought she broke hers the day before yesterday. They were playing a basketball game of sorts (lightening) and someone's arm came down on her collar bone, thus, her calling me at home in pain. We went straight to the doc and he took her in as an "walk in" which was really nice, didn't have to go and sit at the emergency room for 4 hours! He checked her out and said that it wasn't broken but the bone was more than likely just bruised. She's feeling much better today after a couple good doses of motrin 600 and a few ice packs. She even played at her volley ball game last night and did very well!

Did I mention that it snowed today? Well, it snowed a LOT! I had to go and help shovel today, needless to say, I'm very sore! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know...cry me a river! No basketball games tonight because the rivaling school didn't have classes today due to freezing rain. Em didn't have volleyball practice either, wooo hoooooooooooo, a night off!

Right now I have a pork roast cooking, it keeps sizzling and popping in the roaster and it smells AWESOME!!! I'm soooooo hungry! Seems that I'm always hungry now-a-days. I started my new "healthier living" diet on Jan. 1. I've almost lost 10 lbs. so far. I get up every morning and eat oatmeal w/ craisins and a hard boiled egg (no, the egg is not mixed in w/ the oatmeal) and then I walk on the treadmill. At first I just walked for a 1/2 hour, but then I started to walk up to 200 calories, now I reach 200 calories before I get to 1/2 hour :) I do keep going until I hit the 1/2 hour mark though. I'm starting to get calves of steel now, heheheh, and literally walking my "arse" off!!!! I do eat more through the day, but not the huge amounts of breads that I used to once enjoy, or all the candy and other delights called "junk".

Ben will graduate this year. I think I may have mentioned that in past blogs. I just wish that he would get busy doing what he has to get done as far as scholarship applications!

Hi Sarah :) (I loot at my rock every day!)

I guess my South Dakota trip is not going to happen this summer, I'm really bummed about that. My mother-in-law is going to California again and just doesn't want to make that extra trip this year. Perhaps I'll go to Florida to visit my uncle. He offered to fly me down there for a weekend and I really do miss him. (he's my favorite uncle and he's my Godfather) I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I do know that I'll still have my Cedar Point trip this summer yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe if the youth group wants to go, I can go twice! That would be more excitement than I could contain!!!! Top Thrill Dragster, here I come!

Well, as exciting as this post probably really isn't, I should get going and get supper finished. I will try to post a little more often ;)

Y'all keep warm!
Love Ya :)
