Ashley Lately

I've been sick for over a week now. My throat can be killing me one minute and hardly hurts the next. Ever orifice in my head is draining. I can't stop sneezing. For the last four days, I haven't had much of a voice. It just comes and goes as it pleases. I'm coughing up crap and my ears still hurt. I'm ready to be healthy again. Miraculously, though, Jeff hasn't gotten sick. Knock on wood.

Jeff and I had a "Saw" marathon this weekend. He had only seen the first one and I really want to see the newest one. So, we had to catch him up. :) It was fun.

Today we went to Lake Pleasant, had a picnic, and walked around. It was beautiful outside. I posted pictures on Facebook, but not on Myspace yet. There really isn't anything too exciting to see, but it was so pretty there. I couldn't resist taking a bunch of pictures.

Tomorrow, I am going to hang out with Nicole - the wife of Jeff's friend, Beau. I am really looking forward to it. I think that we are going to have lunch together and go shopping. I'm not going to buy anything, but I have a fun time looking around. Especially since they have stores that are different than I am accustomed to.

While I do that, Jeff is going out shooting with his friend Wes and then probably coming back here to play video games or whatever. I think that Wes is going to stay for dinner. Jeff is making Gnocchi for us. Yum!

Jeff has grilled for us a couple of times this week. We had chicken, rice, and vegetables on Thursday and tonight he grilled steak. I am not really a steak fan, but it was good.

I ate really well all week, but have eaten like crap the last two days. I've been eating a lot of ice cream because it soothes my throat.

So far there is no mention of whether or not they will need me in February at Interfaith. Gosh, I hope they do! I've been applying to more places, in the meantime. It is so frustrating.

My birthday is coming up. I've registered for gifts at a few places, to make it easier. Lancaster Toyota, Kay Jewelers, and Remax Realty. Just kidding. :P

I'm really looking forward to my birthday this year. Jeff is grilling me brats - Wisconsin style. :) Plus, he's getting me a cake with whipped topping because both of us loathe butter cream frosting. I'm craving cake like mad, which is odd for me.

Anyway, I am going to head to bed now. I am so tired since I haven't been sleeping very well lately.
