Getting ready for our new TV

by

I’m crossing my fingers and knocking on wood in the hopes that my cold is getting a little bit better. I was totally miserable yesterday … and I guess I’m not much better today, but the runny nose is slowing down, so hopefully that’s a sign that my cold is beginning to get better.

I have a lot to do this weekend, so I hope that I feel at least a bit better by tomorrow. You see we’re hoping that the new TV that we bought two weeks ago is finally at the store so that we can pick it up. I’m so looking forward to checking it out and getting it all hooked up to the new home theater that we bought last weekend.

Plus, last weekend we started to do some small renovations to our living room .. ie finally re-hooking up two electrical outlets that we hadn’t hooked up the last time we did renovations to our living room dining room.

We were going to rearrange the furniture in the living room in preparation for the new TV last weekend, but that’s when I started getting sick so we put that on hold. So tomorrow we might be picking up our new TV, rearranging the room and then fiddling with hooking everything up. I expect to be busy for hours! We also have to remember to get some new air filters for the furnace … It’s time to put new ones in!

Darn … my husband is just talking to the guy from Best Buy right now and our Samsung Plasma is NOT in. It might be two more weeks! Crap! Ok now I’m ticked!

At least the sales guy from Best Buy is working with us … he’s going to give us another $100 off the TV (we’ve already got $200 off it!) or 50% off on a new TV stand. Our current stand is specially built for our DLP so I do think we need a new stand … we’ll see. Sigh





Does your dog act differently when you’re sick?

by

I don’t think my dog knows what to make of me now that I have a cold. She keeps coming up to me with her bone wanting to play, but of course I’m feeling so bad I just can’t!

She’s also fascinated by all the tissues I’m using. She watches me bring tissue up to my face and has a puzzled look on her face when I bring it away from my face again … I don’t know what she’s thinking … maybe she thinks the tissues are something I should be eating? Naturally she also tries to grab the tissues as I put them in a bag (yes I’m blowing my nose so much that I have my own personal garbage nearby).

Does your dog act different or seem confused when you’re sick with a cold or the flu?

I sure hope that I feel a bit better by tomorrow. my nose is raw and my lips are chapped from mouth breathing … like I said earlier I wouldn’t want to be getting an insurance quote looking and feeling like this!

Sniffle sniffle … cough cough

by

I can’t hear very well, I’m mouth breathing and my eye sight is blurred from tears. Yes, you guessed it, I have a bad head cold.

I don’t think it helps that I’m attempting to make ribs in my slow cooker right now either. I think the BBQ sauce (ie vinegar and onions in it) is making my eyes water more than they would be.

I know it’s just a cold, but I haven’t had one for close to 15 years so I’m absolutely miserable! I’d sure hate to be trying to get a life insurance quote right now with the way I look and sound!

Hopefully I’ll feel a bit better tomorrow. Otherwise, if you don’t hear from me for a day or two it’s probably just the cold that’s keeping me away from the computer.

What diets have worked for you?

by

Back in early December you might remember I set off on a quest to lose 5 to 10 pounds. The reason? Well, my niece was getting married on December 30th and I wanted to look good for her wedding. The wedding was fabulous BTW. I must post some pictures some time soon!

Anyway… I was successful. I lost about 7 pounds in December and I’ve continued to loose a few pounds this month as well. I mainly just increased my activity since I already eat well. Plus … since I have Crohn’s Disease there are a lot of foods that I just can’t eat or well digest, so I’ve always been fairly careful about my diet.

A few people have asked me how I’ve been losing weight and that got me thinking that I should maybe write a post or two about diets that work well. So … if you’ve been on a diet in the last year or two and you’ve found one that works maybe you could tell me about it? Then I’ll compose a post about various diets or things to cut out of your regular meal plans in order to lose weight.

Getting sidetracked

by

I must be on a skin kick or something … I was just checking out various skin products (ie for my dry skin and scarring problem) and I came across this skin id review that sounds interesting.

Of course that product is an acne treatment and it wasn’t what I was looking for … but I know someone would probably be interested in it.

Do you ever go looking for something on the internet – say you’re researching a product or something, and you end up getting sidetracked as you find other interesting, somewhat related things? That’s been happening to me a lot in the last week or so thanks to me doing research on our new washing machine and dryer. LOL
