Soo... I'm still recovering from my little surprise. I am feeling better, but definitely not 100% yet. I have one more doctor's appointment on Wednesday, and after that I think I should be pretty much well. The last couple weeks have been interesting, most of the details I will refrain from sharing, but I have been on a no caffeine and no alcohol diet. I know. What is really left? Sigh. If you know me, you know that I love my coffee. More then life. Okay, not really. But it's definitely at the top of my list of things that I really like. In honor of this fasting period, I am going to list the top ten:

1. My family (Ya for Baby Kaitlyn!)
2. My friends
3. Coffee
4. Shopping
5. Oh... Shoes, but that could possibly be counted as part of shopping.. so for that I am adding an half below
5 1/2. Okay, Shoes. I have decided that really, it deserves to have a whole number.
6. Howard and Carrot James (I had to list them. Because I really do love them... even though they are trouble most of the time.)
7. Almost every show on Bravo. Hello! Project Runway, Make Me a Supermodel, Top Chef, Millionaire Matchmaker, The Real Housewife's of the OC, the list goes on and on...
8. The sound of rain falling (oh no... it's starting to get kinda sappy)
9. The woods. As in the forest, the tree's, mountains, perhaps a little bubbly stream, a few birds chirping...you get the idea
10. Last, but not least, I love music. Sure I have some favorites, but I love the diversity that come from it.
(okay, sneaking in one more...)
11. I really loved being a potter. I miss that. The cool clay in my hands, the suspense of not really knowing what is going to come of it, what is going to happen and what it's going to be in the end.

Alrighty... so that is about it for tonight. Fun stuff is coming up here, this weekend chilling with Lacey, and soon, St. Patty's Weekend! Hooray!

Ahhh!!! So much has happened in just the last week and a half. I went on vacation to Cancun, it was so amazing! I loved it. The sun was so warm, the weather was perfect almost the entire time. We spent the first day just catching up a bit and resting poolside. Working on my tan... which now is still rather non-exisitant, but accompanied by twice as many freckles. It was so relaxing, and carefree. The second day we took the bus into downtown Cancun, and checked out the local markets. I found this abosulutely adorable black coral braclet, the I just love. Of course, it's always a bit of a chalange bargining for things, I'm not to forward about it, but I feel like I managed to finagale a pretty good deal on it.
Anyway... I have much more to say about the trip but I am feeling a bit tired. I have good reason though. The trip home from Cancun was eventful in a negative way. Let's just say that I wasn't feeling to good, and after a five hour flight and a trip to ER which resualted in a three day stay, I was treated for kidney stones. The good news is that I'm okay, I'm at home, and I'm recovering. But it was entirely to tramatic for me.
So, I will definatley be blogging more about my fantasic vacation later, but I am not the most engergetic at the moment... so it will be in phases.
Talk to you soon!
