I Thought I Was Invincible

I've been M.I.A. from the blog for the past few days because I'm sick.  The weather here has been crazy - pouring rain one minute then scorching heat the next - and it's caused me to feel like crap.  Headache, nausea, stuffy nose, sore throat, fatigue, and just plain grouchy-ness.

I spent the last few days in a sheet.  As in wearing a bed sheet.  As in a panty and a bed sheet.  Yeah, it was that bad.

I started feeling a little better today so I actually showered this morning for the first time in...about 3 days.  I haven't felt this crappy in a while and I definitely don't miss being sick, but I guess it had to come eventually since I was on that whole Martha Stewart (cleaning, cooking, crafting, etc.) trip for the past month or so.

I guess I thought I was invincible because I was so in the groove of it all.  Hopefully I can kick this bug in the ass this weekend and be back to my superhero self next week.  And if you miss me so much that you really can't take it anymore, come and check me out on Mish Lovin' Life and enter that giveaway.

I'm Alive + DIY Earring Holder

Sorry for the lack of posts and general blog participation lately.

The weather has been horrible lately and now every single one of us in the house is sick to a certain degree.

Anyway, so this post was going to be my little recap of the weekend and my rant about how I lost the memory card for my camera but as I was writing about it, I got the urge to try and look for it one last time and - yep, you guessed it - I found it!

So now, instead of a recap and rant, you get a little DIY tutorial.

----------------------

- Picture frame

- Scissors

- Hot glue

- Plastic grid sheet

Remove glass, backing, and generic picture from frame.

Measure and cut your plastic grid sheet to fit your frame.

Glue the edges of the plastic grid sheet and secure to frame.

Turn it around and pop some earrings in there!

----------------------------------------------

Alright, so I know this has been done a bajillion times but just be happy that my lazy butt actually did something productive, okay?  Sheesh.

Oh, and before I go, congrats to Robin for winning the Coastal Scents giveaway!

Thank you to everyone who entered!  You can go check out another giveaway I'm having on the Frugal Foodie Mama's blog!!!

So not down with the sickness.

Womp womp.  I'm sick again.  I have no clue where this cold came from but it sucks!  Sneezing, coughing, runny nose, and a throat so sore that it hurts to swallow.  Yeah, that's me.

Sorry, but I'm not up to a Tasty Tuesday post right now because all I wanna do is go home and curl up in my bed with a big bowl of miso soup and watch a marathon of "My Husband Got a Family" all day long.



Fyi, click the image to watch too!

Unfortunately I'm stuck at work right now with absolutely no work on my desk so I'm catching up on my homework and class discussion boards.  Okay, not REALLY, but I'm going to after I'm done posting this.

Thanks to all of you who linked up on Friday!  You guys are awesome!  And sorry I didn't do a makeup post yesterday.  I had planned on doing a tutorial but being that I was sick and stayed home from work yesterday I was in no mood to put on any makeup at all.

Anyway, our weekend was pretty busy with parties, bbqs, family time, and impromptu photo sessions. Here's a few lot of pictures from our weekend (as well as a few old random ones):

These berries are from the tree (or maybe just an overgrown bush) in our yard.  The kiddies love climbing, picking, and eating them.

Aren't these doggie benches so cute!?  I want to get some for the kids' rooms!

Another one of Chloe's drawings.  Not bad for 4 years old.

Fresh, ripe, mangoes.  PERFECT for summer.

At Joey's 24-hour softball tournament.  We only stayed for an hour.

Bwahahaha.  Trace trying to keep up with his own Fitness Friday over at the Playport.  He loved that thing so much. I want to get him one for Christmas!

The girls had a photoshoot with Joey while Trace and I were knocked out in the car.  Lol.  I'm not great with long car rides.

The girls at Paseo Beach Park.

The girls again...Chloe being a bit too pose-y.

Panorama of Ipan Beach. Shook the camera a bit in the beginning so it looks chopped.

The weirdos.

No makeup.  Bleh!

Because he thought he was so cool with his shades.

I'm sick so let's just make this quick

1. Today is a great day because Joey finally got paid last night (his actual payday was last Friday - his company is stupid) and today is my payday.

2. Tomorrow I will be extremely busy because of the 5k, CCD, coworker's daughter's birthday, and baby shower. I will also still probably be sick.

3. My favorite time of day is after 7pm because dinner is finished and all I have time to relax..

4. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and get shit done.

5. A song that I just can't get enough of lately is Wade in Your Water by Common Kings - makes me think of home.

6. My favorite accessory is do purses count as accessories? Because I'm a purse hoarder. If not, then necklaces. I feel naked without a necklace.

7. My favorite thing about this week was the big boost in followers! (thanks you guys!)


I caught a cold over the last few days and today it's really kicking my ass. I didn't even get in to work until noon - that's how bad I was feeling. So I'm linking up with The Little Things We Do for today's post because I'm not feeling very inspired, witty, or pretty today. I just want to go home, curl up in a ball, and watch Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe movies all day. Oh, and try some Soondubu - a craving which was brought on by the lovely Keena. Lol.

Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend everyone! And don't forget to email or comment below if you'd like to be featured as a guest blogger next month!
