The Longest and "Funnest" day I have had in a long time...

Tonight after work I went to my other job and helped answer phones.
We are having a drive to get a Gilda's Club built in Madison.
What a nice group of people - it is amazing how committed everyone is to making this happen.

People making donations were sharing stories that would break your heart.
I had a lady call who said she could only donate $10 right now because she is going through chemo and doesn't have much money. If she has more she will call back...

I also donated $20, money is tight for us but I couldn't not help.
I wish there had been a Gilda's Club here when my aunt died...

In 3 Months...

I will coming back from my first week long vacation since I got married.
I am flying out East to see my folks. They have taken time off then as well and already have some day trips planned.
I will be going to Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
As well as some other sites my folks want to take me too.

June will not be here soon enough!

Let a new chapter begin :)

It's Friday -love Friday 'cause that means it is the weekend.
Which means a break. Granted I work on Saturday nights but it is so fun I feel guilty I am paid.
(Don't tell my boss :)!)

I am going to be adding another adventure to my life in the form of a side business. Not going to spill the beans yet in case it crashes and burns.
I am pretty excited and surprised at the support I am getting and where from.

I am making 2 really great friends at work and that helps make the day go.
I get to see my folks in a few months and have my best bud's wedding to look forward to.

Good times...

I survived and discovered a yummy bakery!

I survived!! They were so nice and I found my new favorite bakery. Of course it is on the West side but if need be I will start making the drive.
Yummy and cheap.
It went fast and they actually invited me back which was shocking!

I guess I need to learn not to be so frickin paranoid.

Also realize I work with a very nice group of people!

I am a little afraid

So tomorrow morning I face one of my biggest fears...
I will be live in the studio w/JJO's Johnny and Greg...
I always do ad libs via the phone which is no biggie they can't see me...
Tomorrow they can.
They are kind of pigs, I am kind of chubby.
Give me strength to be funny and look somewhat cute so as to avoid be ripped apart on the air...

Beads

Got a package today. Which I never get, anything in package form is typically for my husband and is a computer part.
Imagine my excitement to one get a package, two have it be from Beth, and three to contain authentic Mardi Gras beads.
Hooray for me.

I love that Beth would even do that.
The girl who has been through it all still makes time to send beads.

And this is why she is my best friend. :)

Double Whammy

I must be some sort of lucky...
Not really but saying that makes me feel better.
So I have been sick of course, for awhile. At the urging of those who love me I went to the doctor. Which was a good thing.
If I had waited much longer I would have gotten either pneumonia or bronchitis.
Nice, instead I gave myself a sinus infection and a respitory infection.
I have a ton of drugs I have to take now for over a month.
The doctor was very nice and was frustrated I wasn't better diagnosed the last time I was there. It happens.
He gave me some great tips at work to help prevent me from getting sick. Apparently the antibacterial stuff isn't that helpful. He recommended wet wipes. Weird but hey he is the doctor. Aside from illness - life is good.
Although when all you do is sleep and watch movies - how can things be stressful?

Still down...

I can not believe how long the human body can incubate a bunch of germs. I am still sick and honestly I feel like I am getting worse.
It's hard because I have to be at work, just too much to do.
When really I just want to put my head on my desk and sleep...

Down for the count...

So this weekend I had a double shift at the radio station.
Which I actually really look forward to for two reasons: 1 extra money, 2 it's fun.
Unfortunately Saturday I had no voice. I don't know what I have but I feel awful.
I have never called in sick to a radio job, except when I broke my ankle way back when.
I feel so cruddy.

Just want to sleep.
I am taking medicine but to be honest that makes me feel worse...

Why am I up so early on a Saturday?!

I feel like I lost the lottery.
Normally on Saturday mornings I make it to at least 9.
It was 7:30 this morning which isn't a bad thing because I need to run some errands on the west side and that can be a 30 minute drive.
Either way, I wish I could sleep.
I am getting a cold and loosing my voice. Not a good thing since tonight and tomorrow I am on the air.
I will be drinking a lot of hot liquids the next few hours.

My wake up call was sweet though -
An 85 lb. Lab licking my face.
