Swine Flu, Candy Corn and Monkey Gyms....

Due to my battling the swine flu--Swine: 0 Chelle: 1--and winning, I'm all about the randoms tonite. Enjoy!

*I no longer feel like death. Which is always a plus in my book. However, Madelyn broke out with a fever today. Leo took her to the doc where she got prescribed with Tamiflu. Hoping that this is what Isabella and Leo had last week so they won't be next. What a week.

*I'm in love with Scrapblog. I made our Christmas cards yesterday and designed my twitter page. You could say that the Swine flu allowed me to stay in bed all day and be online...which I may have secretly enjoyed...

*Fall has arrived. Finally! It'll be in the 40's tonite and highs in the 60's tomorrow. I am in heaven and need to go and buy myself some fall clothes. Like asap. I won't be doing any shopping until next week, though. I would hate to still be contagious and risk getting others sick!

*Isabella has discovered the joy in Christmas catalogs. Girlfriend wants it all. For her and Maddie. She points out and tells me which is for Maddie and which is for her. Seriously cute. And seriously hard for me to say no to such cuteness.

*One of the things Isabella found was this monkey gym type of thing from One Step Ahead. Isabella showed me and then showed Leo who told her that it was pricey. She looked back down and said, 'pricey'. And looked a little longer before turning the page. So cute and I secretly want to buy it for her...even if it is a little 'pricey'...

*I've been craving a pumpkin spiced latte the entire time I've been sick. I haven't wanted much else except that. And orange juice. I am so heading to Starbucks on my get well shopping trip!

*Kind of grateful to the swine flu that it has curbed my cravings and inhaling of candy corn. I've even lost a couple of pounds. So, thank you swine flu for helping me out in that one department. Although I would have rather worked out to my 30 Day Shred dvd....


Well, that's all I can think of right now. I just wanted to post something of relevance to let y'all know what's been going on. Hoping nobody else catches this miserable flu, that's for sure.

Because it sucks.

Big time.

A Made Up Post

*Right now I'm having a glass or two of Monkey Bay. Yum.

*Right now I'm still on my high from my Target shopping trip. I puffy heart Target. A lot. I got 2 cute tees and a pair of shoes. I never, ever buy for myself. But since I've done sooo good losing weight? I treated myself. Oh--I bought Bella the cutest nite lite. Cuteness!

*Right now I am super excited...because Leo and I are painting our entry way hallway tomorrow...and the next nite! Yay! Now Isabella's red, Crayola "x's" will be removed. But not to worry. We still have yellow ones in our room...

*Right now I'm still shook up about Beller's and my walk tonite. We were approx 2 feet away from being hit by a teenage driver. A teenage driver who pulled out from one of our side neighborhood streets. A teenage driver who drove way too fast doing so. And a teenage driver whose face at that moment? I will never forget. I hope he learned a valuable lesson. And I hope I never encounter said teenage driver. Again.

*Right now I am super happy that I've lost over 30 lbs since having Madelyn. I needed to lose weight before getting pregnant with her (I like to call that weight my Bella leftovers), but still. I feel great. And I'm wearing my normal clothes again.

*Right now I am wondering if I've mentioned that I walk 2.2 miles. Every nite possible. In a few weeks I hope to be running/walking. And eventually? I hope to be just running. I have goals, people, and I plan on meeting them.

*Right now I am wondering when the terrible 2's will end? And she's not even 2 yet....

*Right now I am order the Nikon D40 book for Dummies. Yep, I sure am. I want to learn and their manual? Lets just say lets note that I am getting the book for Dummies...'nuff said.

*Right now I am going to get another glass of wine...
