2/3/10- 2/5/10

Honestly, I didn't take any pics. I wasn't feeling well, and I slept at odd times of the day. I didn't even know what days it was. I'm feeling okay now, so hopefully I can continue on from here. I hate when I feel weird like that.

This is a cute little pillow my mom bought for me at Cracker barrel while I was visiting. It was soaked (along with the rest of my stuff) in my luggage, but I think it'll make it. =) It dried off, and I still love it =) Thanks mom!

Huz eating dinner while we watch TV... I swear, when we have kids, we'll stop eating in front of the TV!

Squeeeeeeee! It's Gleeeeeeee! Huz is the most awesome, amazing, wonderful, fabulous husband ever! He got this for me while I was in Tex-ass with the fam and gave it to me when I came home. I was so excited! I loooooove Glee, and watching the DVDs keeps me company while Huz is at work at night. He patiently sat through a few episodes when I first opened it, but has since begged to not be forced to watch them. It's okay- I don't like watching his Ghost Hunting crap shows.

Today, my cousin Jen and my awesome godson Jacob, came over to visit for a bit. Jacob watched a movie while Jen and I caught up on our girl talk. It was sooooo nice to see them again! I really wanted to take a picture of Jacob to show off, but they had to go all of a sudden, and I didn't have time. But, I got to give Jacob his Christmas gift (that's how long it had been since I'd seen them!) and this is the mess that was left after he tore it open =)

Gah! These are sooooo cute! These little cupcakes are adorable and I love them! I got them at Kohls, on sale AND with my coupon (using store credit- oh yeah!). The top part with the frosting comes off, and there's a candle inside. It smells really good too. And they're sitting pretty on top of my cute Valentine's Day tablecloth (from Target). Did I mention before that I use Valentine's Day time to shop specifically for my kitchen? Yeah... cute heart and cupcake and pink stuff is so easy to find this time of year. I look forward to it all year long!

1/28/10

We watched this super awesome movie with our friends Mike & Ana and Little Abby. I totally love it! It's such a great movie! We rented it, but I think I'll totally buy it, I loved it that much.

1/27/10

My Snuggle Buns hanging out in their pen. Holly was licking Hef's face and he was just kicking back and enjoying it. She's such a good Bunny Wife to her HusBun =)

1/26/10

I tried to hurry up and take a picture of Huz while he was sleeping before I went to bed... but it was dark. =( Unfortunately, this was the only pic I took all day. Sorry. On the brightside- you can't tell that he blinked in the picture... or that my finger is in the shot... JK! haha...

1/25/10

I bought a sheet of these super cute window clings at Target for less than two bucks. They're bright colored hearts and cupcakes and slices of cake. I PPH them! I decorated the tile above my stove with them, and they make me sooooo happy! I told Huz that they're for Valentine's Day (you should have seen the look of horror I received when I unveiled my work of art)... but they totally match the rest of my kitchen, so I think they might stay. They make me smile and happy to be in my kitchen- and that should really be the only motivation Huz needs to let me keep them up, right?

The one with the bangs is our Goddaughter Abigail. The one under the cloth napkin is Huz. Abby thought it was hilarious to put the napkin over Huz's face, and then take it off so he could make a silly face and say "Boooooo!" Even though you can't tell from this pic, they were both having a great time, and were cracking each other up. In the end, she put the napkin on Huz's head, lost interest... and he sat there in the restaurant with a napkin on his head for about 3 minutes waiting for her to take it off. It was awesome. I was laughing so much! He just sat there as Crazy Napkin Face waiting... Bahahaha.... it still makes me giggle just thinking about it.

1/21/10

We went to CPK, and then saw a movie with our awesome friends Chris and Falissa. Falissa is my bestie, and I love her soooooo stinkin much! She's pregnant, and is so cute! I love it! It was so great to see our friends and hang out... even though I looked like a scrub because of Baggage-gate '10. =(

1/20/10

I bent the rules a little. My mom took this one with my phone. On the way to the airport, we stopped at Mighty Fine Burgers and I got to wash my hands in the super duper cool hand washing machine. I love it!
My Mighty Fine Burger was seriously the best burger I ever had... and it sure as hell better have been since stopping there made us late to the airport... which meant I couldn't check my luggage... which meant my parents had to send my huge bag via UPS and I didn't receive it until the next week... which meant I didn't have any of my stuff (clothes, makeup, hair stuff, etc) during that time. Also, it was a very rainy week... which meant that my bag got soaked through on the way to me... which meant my books and clothes and stuff were damaged and wet... along with my laptop. So my laptop doesn't work anymore, and I'm waiting for a response on the insurance claim I filed.

But... in this pic I didn't know any of that. I was just happily washing my hands. Sweet, ignorant, (clean) bliss.

1/19/10

This was taken my last full day in Tex-ass with the fam. My mom and I hung out, went shopping, had lunch, bought books, and were just silly and goofy together. She cracks me up! =)

1/18/10

I got this game at Target a couple of days after I got to Texas. We played it on Friday and then again today. It is so stinkin fun!!!! It's hilarious. There is so much random stuff going on, and we were all seriously laughing our butts off. I would totally recommend it for a game night with friends and family. You'll have a blast!

1/17/10

Went to church with the family today. It was a really nice service. After, we all went to Rudy's Barbecue for lunch. In case you're not familiar with this fine dining establishment, it's at a gas station, and you eat sandwiches made of white bread, barbecued meat, onions, and pickles off of pieces of wax paper. Psh! Move over French Laundry... only the classiest for this family! ;)

1/16/10

My Baby Sister and I baked cupcakes for the fam. We used the cute little heart shaped muffin tins Mom and I got from Hobby Lobby. Diggy (my sis) is an awesome little baker! I swear, she's totally going to have her own cooking show someday. 

I also got to Skype with my other little sister (Nai) who's away in school. I miss her so much! It was really cool to be able to laugh and act goofy with my sisters again for a bit. My baby brother (who is almost 16 and is actually not really a baby anymore) kindly put up with our girly giggling and gossiping... and I think he enjoyed the cupcakes. =)

1/15/10

So.... I'm pretty much a little embarrassed that this is the only picture I took all day. Mom and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I saw this in the store, and we both cracked up about it. We also went to Hobby Lobby (one of my faves!) It was nice to spend time with her. Love you Mama!

1/13/10

My parents gave me The Princess Bride for Christmas. The movie is one of my all time favorites (It may be tied for 1st place with Wayne's World), but I'd never read the book before. I'm right smack in the middle of it, and I love it! Love Love Love Love it! I can totally imagine each scene, and I hear the music playing and everything. Those crazy loud trumpets whenever Humperdinck has a scene. Soft, pretty, instrumental "Storybook Love" when Westley and Buttercup are together (my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to that song. I totally love it!). It also seems very fitting that I'm reading it while I'm sick. It just adds to the experience.

I took this picture at 1:10 am. I was going to write about how much I was going to miss Huz and The Buns while I'm gone. About how much I love my little family and how cute they are.

But at 1:15 am all hell broke loose.

After we put the buns in their pen for the night and got ready for bed, Huz's eyes started watering. He started having some trouble breathing and felt like his throat tightened up. Being the smart cookie (cupcake?) I am, I thought maybe he was having an allergic reaction to the buns' fur. Weird, since we've had them for about 2 years and haven't reacted like that before. Huz took a benadryl and I made  him take a hot shower to clean off any fur that might be around his eyes & nose. Now it was 1:40 am.  He still didn't feel better. Since he used to have asthma as a kid, (and kind of started wheezing now) we decided to take him to the emergency room.

After about 2 1/2 hours in the Kaiser emergency room (definitely one of my top ten most wretched places in all the land), the super smart, well educated, getting-paid-the-big-bucks-for-these-kind-of-earth-shattering-assessments emergency doctor tells us:

"Yeah, you probably had an allergic reaction to the rabbits. You should take benadryl."

I just stared.... and stared... and stared at her.

Dude. That is literally the same freakin thing I just told you... like two hours ago when we first got to this hell hole! You want to charge me tens of dollars to repeat THE SAME DAMN THING I TOLD YOU FOR FREE?!

Here comes the kicker. The Beezy then has the nerve to say to this Crazy Bunny Lady: "You need to get rid of the rabbits so this doesn't happen again."

Oh Em Eff Goodness

I looked at my poor, bloodshot-eyed, sniffling, miserable husband. He looked sadly back at me.

I went home, grabbed my bunnies, and jumped on a plane to Texas where we will live. I will go and visit Huz so he doesn't have to suffer. We will make this work!

KIDDING!!!!!!! (although I bet some of you wouldn't put it past me! ha!)

He looked back at me and shook his head at what the stupid doctor told us. He said "That's not happening. The bunnies stay". (See! He's a Crazy Bunny Guy!)

I love him.

So now, I really am in Texas (visiting the fam) and Huz is home alone with Hef and Holly. He's feeling better and said  if he said if he starts feeling bad, he'll wear a face mask to feed them, or will take a benadryl, or he'll go outside and get some fresh air. He is such a wonderful Husband and Bunny-Dad. When I get back, I'll be doing all the bunny care-taking, because I don't want to risk something like that happening to my gorgeous, sweet Huz again. 

Hey, that's what families do right? Sacrifice. I'll give up more time to do more bunny care on my own and Huz will give up... well, breathing I guess. And the buns...eh, they're just spoiled rotten like always.

I love you Huz! And I love you Hef and Holly!
