"Go home."

Grrrr. So on the 15th, the day that my friend Brian came to town from California... I became HORRIBLY sick and was not able to see him at all. :(

I went to work with a cough that would not go away but I was feeling fine. Til 1:00 hit and suddenly I could barely stand. I went home and have been fighting this monster of a flu ever since. I've been to work a total of one day since then. I've had two half days where I went in but they sent me home because of the coughing. Just about everybody else at the office is sick and they don't want me spreading it around or getting worse. So today I went in, all ready for my 12 hour day... and they sent me home again. I guess what's been happening is people are feeling better and coming in and then getting sick all over again. So Shawn wants me just staying home til it's gone away completely. I was all set to go in on Saturday too until I got online Friday night to talk to my coworker and she told me Shawn already arranged it so I didn't have to come in! They just don't want me there! I feel so useless.

At least right now it's just coughing and dizzy spells. For a few days there, it was bad. I almost ended up in the ER and probably should have gone. But with my 103 fever, I stayed home and fought it. Mostly because I was delirious when mom was asking me if I wanted to go. At that point, I didn't even know where I was or what was happening. It was scary go nuts. It was also insanely BORING being so sick. One I couldn't get up or do anything and two... I had this aweful migraine where any bit of light was bothering my head. I couldn't have the tv on or anything... even the little green dot from the DVD player was driving me NUTS. So there I sat for hours in the darkness doing nothing. Then I got bed sores all over my body and I still ache everywhere. Plus I had NO appetite for like 4 days so I lost a ton of weight. The other day, Shane put his hand on my knee and was like "whoa... that's a skinnier knee." I mean there is that much of a difference!

This has been horribly sucky and I can't wait for it to go away and to be able to go back to work like a normal person. Everyone there is sick and my family is all sick. My cousin just had a new baby girl (Welcome to the world, Abigail!) and no one can see her cuz we're all sick! This blows!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *goes insane*

Also, Jon Foreman... not into pregnant women.

It's so hard to say goodbye.

So after spending the day at the Auto Show, Shane and I went to Olive Garden only to discover... THEY DISCONTINUED MY FAVORITE DISH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Not only was this my favorite dish there but it was one of my all time favorite dishes in general! And now it's gone! GONE I TELL YOU! How will I live? Will the heart still beat inside? Will I be able to go on knowing I will no longer savor the deliciousness of a chicken alfredo pizza? So cheesy, so alfredoy, so... perfecto in every way. *sigh*

But the Auto Show was good, I enjoyed my b-day with the fiance. We both loooooooved the Saab concept car this year. I still think the Lexus LF-A from last year was the best but the Saab was nifty too. I'll have to put pictures up later. I got some really nice ones. Since I've been experimenting with photography lately I ended up taking some pretty nice shots... had some good angles and close-ups on details. I'm happy with the pictures.

In other news, Shane got me a gift I had been wanting for a looooong time. And it's about 20 thousand times cooler than I thought it would be. He got me the marauder's map from the Harry Potter books/movies. It's wicked sweet. So much detail! I never knew I could love a map so much! Shane ownz me.

Also... soon ... Brian's coming to town! YAY. Happy birf day to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Lost (a new theory)

Ok so if you saw last week's episode then one question should be in your mind. Why is a group consisting of an army chick, a physicist, an archeologist, and a ghost talker... looking for Ben?

My mom's theory...

It all leads back to the pile of bones and things Locke fell into in season 3. The dead bodies belonging to Dharma. Bones = archeologist. Bones from dead bodies = The medium. The crazy insane island this is all going down on = physicist (perhaps investigating alternate planes of existence). Army chick = simply has the training to get those people there. ... So... do they know Ben led the mission that killed off the Dharma people? Do they want him for answers? Are they trying to get rid of our original Losties because they're in the way of a top secret investigation? Or do they want Ben because they were once a part of Dharma and want vengeance for their people? And what's up with this crazy pilot? No normal man would instantly notice a wedding ring missing off of another pilot's hand... has this dude been trained to notice things most people wouldn't?

What's going on here?!!!!!! And if you've been keeping up with the Find 815.com story... what's so important about the Christiane I and the people on it? What is Talbot's deal?!!

And speaking of boats! Was Penny's message to Charlie a fake? Why send a fake message warning them it's not her boat? So they won't get off the island!

And why are all these boats showing up at once? If the Christiane I isn't the same place Naomi and friends came from then obviously there is more than one boat!

AAAAAAAAAAAA! So many questions! Must keep notes.

Romney's gone and the snow is not

Today was pretty awesome despite it being Shane-less and me having a headache ALL DAY long... until 5 minutes ago.

Work was really easy and Kristen needed help with an essay for school. So who did she ask to help her? Me of course. I'm famous around the office for being a good writer and anytime anyone needs something done that requires good writing, they come to me. I love it. And I loved helping with this essay on religion. It was so fulfulling somehow. I'm still high off of it. It will be interesting to see how she does, what Lewis University thinks of what we came up with. Though I do not write well on blogs. I know this. Everything is wrong all the time because I'm just writing what I'm thinking without... thinking. O.o

Anyway...

Everyone's been so on edge since the Lane Bryant shooting spree last week. It's so weird to drive by there on my way to work all the time and see police or investigators in the parking lot... and to know that right there 5 women were murdered. It's sad and it's scary. The shooter hasn't been found and I have family and friends who live in the subdivisions the police were searching, not to mention we work right down the street. I hope the guy gets caught and can kill no more.
