Dear people that are kind enough to read my blog,
Please forgive my absence. Several things have happened in the last week to prevent me from updating.
- I am one week away from defending my masters thesis… so I’m pretty much paralyzed with fear.
- My dog developed an infection and that has required me to follow her around the house with sanitizing products (I’ll leave the rest of that to your imagination)
- I caught the plague. Seriously. I’m disgusting. I just walked into my mom’s living room in my underwear, pregnant belly leading the way, tissues literally shoved up my nose and sang “I’m Sexy and I Know It” for her. She was entertained. Unfortunately, I’m not brave enough to do that video post for you, but I thought I’d describe it in case you’ve been missing me. Now you can picture it if you like.
I just wanted to inform you that if I survive the plague, and having to defend two and a half years of my life and funding dollars to a bunch of academics, I’ll be back. Until then, happy reading elsewhere… or check out my old blog if you like (CLICK HERE). On it you will find pictures like this:
If you don’t see what’s wrong with this, I can’t help you.
The scariest thing about this picture is that almost all hits to that blog are from people doing Google Image searches for “Grade 11 Labeled Picture of the Heart”… I’m ruining young minds.
You will also find photos of me that are très sexy, like this one:
I am Cindy Crawford’s body double
I apologize in advance if you thought even for one second that I was normal.
And now, I’m going to pass out. The children’s Tylenol is beginning to wear off (it tastes like bubble gum though, so I always look forward to more… ew?).
Sick AND paralyzed with fear? Boo! I hope you have a miraculous healing sleep. And kick butt with your LOTR thesis presentation. :)
Bahaha. Thank goodness I’m actually more comfortable presenting my actual thesis than a critique of LOTR. For some reason this gives me comfort, like I may really actually have learned something these last two years! But yeah… stressed and sick = no fun.
Good luck…here’s hoping you don’t die before your review or at least give the board a good dose of your plague
That would be a lovely back to school present for the new students! Make all the profs ill and cancel the first week.
I’m sorry you are sick, especially when you are pregnant and can’t take the good drugs. Flu-zilla has been making rounds out here too. It’s a nasty one. I’m surprised the CDC isn’t putting out alerts on it or something.
I take that back. Apparently they have put out alerts. It’s just that nobody really cares because nobody is dying from it.

I miss the good drugs :( But wearing Vicks Vaporub like war paint makes me feel pretty bad ass.
Feel better soon! And post that video. Seriously.
I dunno… that would be pretty racy… I’m baking muffins now. My midwife appointment was postponed until tomorrow! One last day of freedom…
Oooooo…OUR muffins? Because I feel forever linked to you in sweet muffin-y goodness.
My midwife appointment is this afternoon. She mentioned that my white blood cell count is still high and I was all, “fighting a cold high or leukemia high?” and she wouldn’t give me a straight answer, so maybe if I’m dying and you’re dying we should just lock ourselves into a kitchen and get a lot of take out and blog until we’re too weak to type.
Too much too soon?
HAHA! Yes, OUR muffins… are there any other kind these days? lol
This made me laugh pretty hard. Thanks for the cheer up!
There may be cucumbers in my future… my midwife just called :(
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!
What time is your appointment? It’s today, right? I’m sending you so much insulin-perfect energy right now!
Appointment is at 2:30… if it doesn’t get canceled again. She warned me that they have three women due before Sunday! Yikes!
I just ate a muffin for breakfast because I know it may be my last… oh the guilt!
Just one??? I picked up a celebratory box of TimBits on my way to work this morning to “share” with the office.
HAHAHAHA…share…
Keep me posted – my pancreas is on the edge of its seat.
bahahah! I can’t bring myself to eat more… There are 2 left… But i’m feeling guilty all of a sudden. how crazy is that!? So instead i’m going to eat left over steak… But not until I’m done my coffee. That would just be gross otherwise.
I’ll keep you posted!
