honey bunches of oats

Ok so apparently I wrote a whole post and forgot to send it....awesome.

Yes! the swine flu has officially left my body, they say once the fevers are gone for a good 24 hrs you are no longer contagious. Well my fever decided to stay on for about 5 days so thus I was quarantined to my room...sometimes I snuck downstairs and watched some movies in the basement--my mom and brother already had their mild cases and it looks like pop somehow has avoided it for the 3rd time, so I didn't feel too bad leaving the sick cave. I have been "better" for about a week, still coughing up lungs and ribs and a kidney maybe. Also I can't hear out of my left ear because the newest development is an ear infection. No worries though after 4 days of calling for a sick appt at the drs. they prescribed me some drugs AND my health insurance officially works! Huzzah. I should be better in no time floating on a diseaseless cloud!

Also I loved the colors joy and I'm way copying you.

Another development as of late....drum roll please......
I signed my first lease for an apartment! I am living with 3 guys (two of whom graduated from Messiah--go figure! and the main contact dude is someone from my youth group waaaay back) Its in Fairmount, the address is 850 N. 19th st for those googlemap stalkers among you! I am SO excited to have you girls over for a little tour and warming get-together! It was a bit spontaneous but everything seems to be falling into place with it so I think God has it under control! I'll probably be looking for a 2nd pt time job if this sucker that I'm working at now can't give me what I need long-term but that's fine I hear there are a few places near where I will be living that might have some spots :)

I hope that you are all doing well and looking forward to enjoying the season with brightness and merriment! I know I am! I keep wearing that red coat with the brass buttons hoping to exude cheer and christmas with every step. I'm the corniest most enthusiastic bug in the city but I really love it!

Breedom--I hope finals have gone so so well so far YAY you're done on FRIDAY!! you're so close to the end of your first semester of gradschool how do you feel??? 3 more to go sister (right?) awwwesome!

HilREE--I miss you dearly dearest dear friend and I think your wonderful and I love reading your bloggings because you are great! Also those pieces that you pulled...excellent! I agree about the apron, totally would wear it as a dress if it had a back on it!

Joyousfulness-- Well I've survived the swine flu but I have to say, it woulda been a lot easier with your pharmaceutical expertise! I can't wait to see you again, I hope its soooon because I agree with your comments about booking it together, we should get on that!

Mostly I love you all and even one week is too long without seeing your beautiful faces and since its been much longer than that, its been much too long! I was thinking maybe we could get together and do like a Pride and Prejudice marathon or another Jane Austin with delicious crumpets and tea or cakes and coffee as the case may be. Just a thought for a future date with some of the most fabulous women in my life! Is there a time in January that works for anyone? I can clear my schedule (except the 15th, I'm sorta obligated to be at the apt on moving day haha)

Have a lovely hump day!
