Settling in the Watch Heroes and 24

by

I’m still not feeling all that well but at least I’m not in quite as much pain as I was yesterday. Yesterday was very bad!

Tonight, Chris and I marinated and grilled some Rainbow trout, and I did my potato veggie grill again. Yes, I’m going to list the recipes sometime soon if any of you are interested. So far the food is sitting ok.

We taped Heroes, 24 and a few other shows on the DVR and we’re just relaxing watching the shows. Is anyone else watching Heroes? It’s the second last show. Actually I think tonights 24 is the second last show too.

Pretty soon all we’ll have will be reruns on TV again … I think this year we’ve had more reruns than new episodes of all the top shows. Kind of sucks doesn’t it.





If I was a horse you’d shoot me …

I really wanted to get around to all my Green Thumb Sunday participants today. I wanted to see what’s blooming in their gardens and weed the sites out that haven’t been participating in quite a while. I also wanted to visit some of the sites of people who participate in Photo Hunters and the Do Follow blogroll.

I had hoped to get into my garden for at least an hour to work on pruning and tidying the areas that I haven’t touched yet.

Most important of all I wanted and needed to redesign the theme for this blog – I’m tired of it, and I need to redesign it so I can put some ads up for the new network that I’ve been accepted into (my big deal!!), and to top it all off I wanted to re-design my husbands blog Guitar Licks too because it’s theme totally sucks and I’ve got a really cool theme to use for that site.

Forget mothers day. I’m not a mom. Chris’ family never got it together to do anything for his mom this weekend either so our Sunday was supposed to be free … for me to work …

I wasn’t able to do any of that today.

I think whatever my husbands been fighting since Friday got to me. Except since I have Crohn’s disease it hit my stomach hard and I’ve been in awful pain all day. Not to mention almost constantly feverish.

I feel horrid. I wasn’t able to eat much either. I tried to eat dinner but my abdomen really started to hurt once I got a bit of food down and I had to stop. I hope I’m not going into yet another flare. I’ve already been in a constant flare for more than two years – I don’t need it to peak again.

I’m so sick of this. I can’t make any plans. I can’t even rely on the small plans I make for myself because it always depends on how I’m feeling. This makes me feel useless.

I want to go to a big blogging convention in Las Vegas in November and I’m being asked already if I’m going and, honestly, I can’t say. All I can say is that I want to go. For all I know I’ll either be so sick I’ll be in the hospital at that time, or I might be feeling healthy for the first time in two years. I just don’t know.

Instead, on days like today I’m just lying on the couch, grimacing in pain. Watching TV to try to take my mind off of the hell my body is putting me through. At least I had the Survivor finale to watch this evening. Good going Earl!

If life’s a race I’m falling behind … and If I were a race horse people would be thinking about putting me down about now.

We missed Photo Hunter

by

I just realized that since my husband came home sick last night that neither of use worked on putting up Photo Hunter photos for today! Ack! We’re both working on our late photo entries! they’ll be coming along shortly!

If you’ve come here looking for todays entry please return in an hour or so and I’ll have a nice photo surprise for you. LOL I mean I spent hours working on my photos yesterday … I should be able to find something to put up for the hunt.

Still working on those photos and getting some ideas

by

I’m just about done all that photo editing. I can’t believe how long it’s taken. I have to remind myself the next time I get a camera in my hands not to take 100 photos! Geezz!

Well I have been busy photographing lots of things this week. In a little while I’ll be posting some recipes for some of the fantastic dinners we had this week – with pictures of course! Who knows, the way I’ve been cooking and talking about cooking this week perhaps I’ll even start up a recipe/cooking blog. Yummy. Hmmm maybe I’ll call it “Drool Worthy”? LOL

This photo may not be drool worthy, but it is a picture of my favorite little Japanese Maple tree in the back corner of my garden. I love this tree. It’s leaves just opened in the last day or so and it’s looking lovely:

I need to travel

by

I think I’ve had a real wander lust lately! Ever since the weather got warmer and Spring hit I’ve been thinking about traveling somewhere. Anywhere. I guess after being stuck inside the house all winter it’s normal … especially in my case because I’ve really been stuck indoors since I’m off sick and not going to work each week. It’s really getting old.

I think I need to start planning some short vacations for Chris and I. Earlier I was saying how nice it would be if Chris and I went and spend a weekend in Niagara falls. I’ve also recently talked about traveling to a number of other places. I seriously think I should stop thinking about traveling and start making some plans. Even if it’s just to get away for a weekend or perhaps four days or so, I’m sure I’d enjoy it.

I went to Chicago last year, and I might go to Vegas later this year … let see … maybe I should fit in a trip to New York city? I’ve never been there and it’s a place I’ve always wanted to go. If we go to New York I’d love to see some plays on Broadway or off Broadway … guess I’d better get in touch with a new york ticket broker if we want to see some shows or even attend a baseball game while we are there. If we go.

I envy one of my brothers! Over the last five or six years he and his wife have taken elaborate vacations to almost every continent! They went to India this past January. I forget what next years vacation plan is, but it’s something exotic if I remember correctly. It’d be nice if Chris and I could pick up and travel like that.

Perhaps along with planning some mini getaways I should purchase a lottery ticket?
