spinning

I'm literally spinning.

Last month I had a little episode of vertigo which resulted in an aversion to corn. (I was never a super corn fan to begin with) But that little episode lasted a week and went away. Wooo!

But...
It came back and hasn't gone away. And so I am spinning now, I spin at night and it wakes me up in the middle of the night, and I look drunk stumbling through the halls at work. And I'm grumpy cause I am a big baby and just want to sit sit for a moment.

I feel so out of control.

ps- when I was little I used to love my sit and spin. It was me pretending I was at Disney World. Now I will pretend I am on a cruise.

my love language is candy

my love language is not hugging
dp knows i'm not a hand holder, we link pinkies sometimes. it is the best i can do for a husband who's love language is physical touch. that's why he laughs when i tickle him. :)

Do you want to know the way to my heart?
CANDY!
Seriously, yeah this could be why I am caring all this extra weight. Gimme Gimme Gimme!

I have a small candy hoarding problem. Recently my candy stores were out of control, so I now limit myself to one container.

On year dp made me a candy scavenger hunt. It was the best present I've ever gotten from him.

All this to say--
Our 6th anniversary is coming up. Guess what gift is traditional? Yup candy.

because

birthday month is looming and
the numbers keep getting bigger

i received an invite for my 10 year high school reunion
already

how can i feel so old and so young
all at once?

the past year
has been enough, i'm ready for a break
may i take this year off?

in one year i
changed jobs
lost vision in my right eye and
suffered 6 months of terrible treatments that left me a lump and
aggravated an injury causing the 2 month long headache
learned my meemaw was ill and watched her slip away
i started my last hours of school
david's mom's illness began to get worse and
watched david ache
finished school

it is a lot. and where do i go from here
i'm tired and confused
unhealthy or not, i just want to get back to the way things were

my hair dresser/therapist - Darcy - reminded me that i can't look to society to tell me how to live my life. with her advice i've decided to make some changes, because i can't wait till i'm retired to live the life i want, even if i am "different" but mostly i need to take the jump

because i am different

baby weekend

Theme of the Weekend -- babies babies babies
two weekends ago)

Thursday night David and I picked up his brother and SIL and nephew Andrew at the airport. They live in Philly and we haden't met little Andrew yet. He was a sweet little baby.

Friday night dp's cousins came into town to meet Andrew. It was also a big celebration for Gil and Mary's 40th wedding anniversary. With Mary's failing health this was an esspecially important celebration.

Hugo's --When I daydream, I'm dreaming of Hugo's. Delicious.

I made the programs for my wedding, and regretted it. Messing around with a printer is always a pain. It is the one thing I would change. And I did it again. I thought, Oh I'll just whip somethign up, no big deal. 8 hours later the little placecards looked like junk. Luckily, dp's family isn't detail oriented people and thought they looked great.

I also made flower arrangements. Notice the "rubies" in the vase for their 40th.



Saturday morning we drove to DFW to find out the gender of my new nephew! Jeni, my Navy Sister, is pregnant with her second. I don't know how they can have another cuter than Logan. He is my buddy. He kills me.

Two words - Hulk Smash. :)


And then the reveal....

Another BOY!!!


2011 Baby Boom has arrived.
