four things

I should have known when I woke up with a headache today, threw off my sweatshirt, and exclaimed, “It’s HOT in here!” that something was not right.

I’m never hot.

I’m always cold.

Oh yes — sick again. I wish I knew why I kept getting sick. I do know though that today is the first time I have taken Advil in say two years or so. I burned up all day long and was freezing at the same time. I finally called the Husband and told him to bring some home so I could take it. I’m mad that I had to take medicine, but one pill later and I’m pretty sure my fever is breaking.

There was food today — there was good food. But I really don’t want to talk about it. You can just drool instead.

Apple Pie Oatmeal for Breakfast….

Open faced avocado, tomato, and hummus sandwich & spinach salad topped with more avocado and hummus for lunch…

One of the best concoctions I have made for quite some time in the kitchen for dinner. This was obviously after the medicine was taken. I’m not sure what to call it, but a recipe will follow perhaps tomorrow.

Cheesy Chickpea Quinoa served over a bed of wilted greens…

I never knew I could be so fancy while sick.

What I really want to talk about is this circa 2000 survey which has been circulating around the blogosphere. The lovely Holly has asked me to pass it on, so I’m glad my nostalgia for the sixth grade is taking me back…

Four People I am Tagging

Janae — LOVE her. If you don’t know her, you should. She’s one of my BFF Bloggers

Missy — Missy is such a fighter and always leaves me the most hilarious comments on a daily basis. Thanks for always reading!

Chelsea — Obviously because she has the same name as me.. and she was brave yesterday.

Lauren — We would be real life friends if she didn’t live in CO. Maybe that’s an excuse to take a trip?

Question: Take one category and answer it for yourself! OR Tell me how much you are sorry that I am sick today, not that I’m fishing for sympathy or anything.
