We were packing and all that jazz yesterday, and had a some what late lunch (plus my appetite is just not what it was before last week) so we didn't end up leaving to go get supper until after 8pm!  I'm not sure how long ago this Sonic opened, but when we got there at 8:30-8:45.. it was a 30 minute wait to get to order.  John was well passed famished at this point, so we left and ended up eating at a Perkins on the way home.  Kind of a let down.  But let me tell you, never had a chicken and cheese quesadilla tasted so good.

I've pretty much been up since 4:30.  John had to work this morning and I didn't really fall back asleep while he was getting ready, nor since he left.  I really don't want to be up this early.  OH well, guess I'll go to work early and be outta there by 4.

Yes.  The morning sex. 

It's not that I ever doubted his being tired.  I just didn't know guys ever outweighed their tiredness to sex.  lol  Not a big deal.  Guess I was a bit frustrated that night though.  It'd been sooooooooooo long.   

Happy Monday!

We discovered there is a Sonic in St. Paul! 

Guess what we're having for supper?

Yeah, we don't know either because there are far too many things we both want to try.  Eeek.  I do, however, see a Cherry Limeade in my future!

So, I just had a moment with John.

We've been working all day on packing my apartment.  He's tired.  He wants to go to bed.  Cool.  But I've also been sick all week and not up to bedtime activities... until finally today!  So I got in bed and made some... gestures... as to what I was after and he said "I just don't know if I can.  I'm too tired."

Isn't that supposed to be my line?  And he's like "I'm sorry."  and I'm just not saying anything cuz all I have in my head is "I don't think I've ever heard another man ever say that.  Ever."

Is it just me?  Do other guys say this?  I mean... we're in our twenties still here people... what the heck.

Rawr.  Grrrr.  Rawr.

Got up for work today and was just exhausted!  Of course, I woke up with John, and ended laying there all cuddled together for at least 20 minutes.  Nothing beats that feeling.  Nothing makes me want to stay home from work more!

I was tired ALL DAY (and I got 7 hours of sleep for sure, but I haven't been using my machine, and I blamed the exhaustion on that.)

Later today, about an hour after lunch, I started to feel all queasy.  Thought I needed the bathroom, but couldn't once I got there.  Used it 3 hours later, after work, and more success, but still felt queasy. 

I got home, John let me in and I just went right to bed, telling him I felt awful, thought I had food poisoning

Took my temp after about 30 min, it was 99.7 (and I'm usually more like 96.8, yes, I know that's weird.)  An hour later, it was 100.6.  Stayed that way for another hour and I finally felt like I could keep down some Advil with 7up and a couple crackers.  90 minutes later, temp is now 101... but I don't feel queasy.

I'm not going to work tomorrow, just in case whatever this is, is highly contagious (as my mom suspects) and in case it's not really over yet.

John and I are doing well.  We have our moments, mostly stemming from money.  I told him this week that a steady paycheck (or lack of having one) will be a deal breaker for me with us moving forward in our relationship.  That it's not one now, because I know he is applying every where.  That he needs to invest in some dress clothes, even if on his credit card (at Wal-mart, I found him two pairs of dress pants, and a nice material! on clearance for FIVE DOLLARS A PAIR... he hadn't found anything at Goodwill and the like at this point.)  Now that he has those, and a beautifully impressively reworked resume by our FAVORITE HR Guru... I think he has a much better chance of landing a good position.

I also addressed my questions regarding his mental stability/anxiety/depression that I'm concerned he's dealing with.  He knows of my concern, and he doesn't know of any type of official diagnosis.  I'm not going to push anything until after he has a job, unless I fear it's hindering his ability to get a job, as I want to see his mental changes once he's secure, or at least close to, money-wise.

That's about it.  I'm back to bed for some much needed sleeeepy time.

Love you all!

of not smoking as of today....

Woot!

"When butter is passed, use your butter spreader to take a pat of butter and put it on your plate.  Don't make a butter sandwich; the proper way to eat a roll is to tear one piece of it at a time, and butter just that piece."

Well I'll be... I've been buttering my roll wrong my entire life! 

But seriously, who KNEW that?!?

And

Happy Thanksgiving!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

That was the most ridiculous thing I've heard on the news in a long time.  Even in high school, I think that's going too far to hand out THE PILL.   Story Here.

I'm all for condoms being available.  And I understand the reasoning behind it.  But for a pubescent female to be given a hormone-changing treatment when likely her cycle has barely started, is horrendous to me.  Especially without her parent's consent. 

And yes I know that some people can't talk to their parents about issues like this, but if you're that uncomfortable discussing this type of matter with your parents, maybe you shouldn't be having sex.  (You SHOULDN'T BE HAVING SEX!)  And I also know that some parents might not care one way or the other.  That's up to them, and then they can give their approval.  No way should a minor be given this without a parent's knowledge.  It's beyond belief to me.

Reading the other services this in-school clinic provides, I think it's great that they're there!  To have mental health therapy available as more than just the normal school therapists is a wonderful addition.  Maybe more of that counseling could help prevent some of the sexual activity taking place. 

I'm not sure what the perfect answer is for less middle school-aged children pregnancies, but I don't think the pill is the answer.  At least not without parental consent.

And props to the teenager who is wearing a sticker AGAINST this addition to her school's health care, even though her mom agrees with it.  They obviously have open discussion and THAT is a big key to keeping children safe.  (Not the only factor, please don't take it that way.)

Definitely not the funniest joke in the world... but it has made everyone laugh that I've told it to.

Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?

Fo' Drizzle!

That I should always trust my instincts.  A lesson I thought I've learned before.  Sometimes I turn that little voice off or more accurately, just ignore it.  I won't go into the details on this public blog, and probably won't protected either.  But I'm feeling rather stupid and gross today... all because I didn't trust my instincts.  They are the major tool God gives us to remember right from wrong, and to ignore it?  We usually pay the consequences in our immediate feelings of remorse.  Disappointing not only ourselves, but Him as well...  and anyone else we might actually fess up to of our stupid actions.
