Last night I started to feel bad- neck ached, throat hurts. For me, that's the beginning of the end. It's where it all starts for me. So, mom (although sick for the past 3 weeks) went right into mom-mode. She gave me some medicine and today, I slept for several hours in the middle of the day. It's helped, and I'm hoping I will feel better, not worse over the next couple of days.

Day 84
I love Bertolli meals. I especially love them because they are super easy. I need easy, as I've been known to ruin the simplest of meals. I nearly burned down my apartment in college trying to make stir fry (who knew it was bad to add olive oil to a pan on high heat?). I can make a handful of things, one of them being grilled cheese which I still, occasionally burn. With Bertolli, it's done in under 12 minutes, and tastes great.

Meet McDougal, (aka "Dougie"). This is my friend, Rachel's grandmother's dog. Today he had a biopsy of his paws. With stitches on two of his paws, he has to wear one of these plastic cones. Rachels' mom visited him today and told me how sad and pathetic he was trying to maneuver around the room. He kept running into walls and the legs of furniture. And eating- that was another challenge. Poor thing. But he sure is cute!

Day 80
A picture of my keys. My sister gave me the Brighton keychain as a gift. The bit of red is a whistle I received from UCF at a Victim Services training. I used to have a metal 'A' keychain, but it recently fell off, unbeknownst to me at the time. There was a time when I could say that my keychains said a lot about me. Back in high school, I loaded my keys with all kinds of silly things, like a pooping pig and a New York keychain with the tragedy masks. Now, my keys aren't as much of a representation of "me." Instead, I keep it simple- no need for them to take up half my purse, as big as my purses may be.

Day 78
A look at a class I will be teaching at Whim So Doodle in May. It's an 11x14 canvas, "Boys will be Boys." I used one of my favorite manufacturers, October Afternoon. A lot of cool distressing techniques with paint in this class. I had a lot of fun creating it. Pictures are of my brother-in-law's best friend's son, Jake.

Day 76
My dad was in the Army and when I was 6, we moved to Florida for him to retire. At the age of 3, I lived in Germany where we remained for 3 years. During that time, we traveled to Holland, Italy, and France. I loved living in Europe and wish I could live there permanently. The culture, food, weather, and everything about it is amazing. I have fond memories from my years overseas. I can't wait to return and visit places I've never been like, Ireland, London, and Norway. I love German food, especially Spaetzle (which according to my friend Aaron, I pronounce wrong). :)

Day 72
I went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Ybor with some friends tonight. It was a lot of fun. And yes, those are all MY beads. Almost 5 pounds worth (and yes, I weighed them when I got home that night, along with Rachel and Justin). Rach's brother and boyfriend had twice as many beads as the girls. They stood in the back with their hand raised and didn't make a sound. Rach, Lisa, and I, on the other hand, screamed and flailed our arms around for two hours straight. It was exhausting, but well worth the beads in the end. I caught a few strands I'm particularly proud of (one being a skull and crossbones necklace).
P.S. I still have red marks around my entire neck from those necklaces. That was two nights ago!

Arrggggg Matey! This was taken at Whim So Doodle. I went to Whims for their Friday night crop and was able to visit with some scrap-friends. We had a great time, although, I got absolutely nothing done. Usually I am pretty productive at crops, but this was an exception. A group of us went to a wonderful Tapas restaurant next door. It was Happy Hour- two for one, so everyone, except me, got Margaritas. I'm not one for Margaritas, so I got a Cosmo. The food was de-lish, with a noticeable kick. My mouth was on fire, but the flavors were wonderful.

My sister is obsessed with Cosi (although, she has a problem bringing home Cosi for her husband, and instead, just hides hers from him to avoid any feelings of guilt-haha). Ashley was thrilled when we *finally* got one nearby, in Wesley Chapel. I, on the other hand, was luke warm about its arrival. I'm a Panera girl at heart. Cosi is about 100 steps away from Pottery Barn so it's a favorite choice for lunch on days I have a break during my shift. I get the same thing each time- their Margherita Flatbread pizza. It is de-lish. I'm beginning to warm up to this Cosi place. ;)

What a wonderful surprise! I was met with this when I left the break room today at work. On the back of the door was our poster (as it always is) for Employee of the Month. Pottery Barn calls it their, "Catch the Spirit" winner. I was the Employee of the Month for February! I was so honored. I'm one of about 20 employees and the store has only been open 4 months. My assistant manager, Julie (who I love), wrote some really wonderful things about me. She says I'm a rockstar. Ha.

Day 59
My friend Ashley, or as I call her "Smash," moved to Boca when her husband, Todd, was accepted into medical school. She applied to a social work program and is attending the same school, working towards her Masters Degree (you go, girl!). I miss her so much now that she lives several hours away, instead of 45 minutes. She was in Tampa for the weekend, visiting her mom. The three of us met for dinner and Slumdog Millionaire in Channelside. The movie was great, and the company even better. P.S. Don't worry Smash, I'll send you the pics!
