I have the BEST hubby!

I just wanted everyone to know that I have the BEST hubby! He's always been the best but these past few weeks he's really showed me how much he loves me. I've been sick at home for over 2 weeks now. It's a crazy flu virus that I just can't seem to kick and he's been here for me everyday. He even missed his entire spring break, including a trip to Mexico, just to take care of me. He cooks, he cleans, walks the dog, buys the groceries and basically holds up the fort entirely on his own and I'm very grateful to have him in my life. I love you Mikey!
ps- that's him in the montage of pics at the top of the page. Pretty cute huh?!

Sick and Tired

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but why am I still sick? It's so frustrating. It all started a week ago Sunday with an awful flu, chills, fever, headache, body-ache and all that stuff you get with the flu. It's really been going around. But then everyday that I think I'm feeling better, I feel crappy the very next day. It just won't go away! The fever and chills have passed thankfully, but now it's like a really yucky and sticky cold. Sticky because it just keeps sticking around. A heavy chest cold that keeps me so tired and just not feeling well at all. I sleep everyday and yet am still tired and worn out. I'm trying to eat really healthily with lots of fluids as well but this thing must love me! And the tell-tale sign that I am still sick...I don't like drinking coffee. It just tastes awful! Disgusting in fact. Yuk. Now in my attempt to find healthy things to eat online, I just found this Double Chocolate Chip Biscotti recipe on a healthy foods website, I think I'm feeling better already!

How to lose $2000 FAST!

Ok, let's see how I can put a positive spin on this one. We all work hard for our money so rarely does one want to lose their money. But if you're in need of a way to lose $2000 fast, just do what I did, or didn't do.

This upcoming week is my hubby's spring break and like most students he wanted to get away. As his Sugar Momma, I work hard to pay our bills so I deserved a getaway too. Last weekend we booked an all-inclusive trip to Mexico. We were supposed to fly out today. Supposed to.

About 5 minutes after we booked the trip online I started to not feel so well. By the next morning I was not well at all and decided to stay home from work to get better. Well, missing Monday turned into Tuesday, to Wednesday, a doctor's visit on Thursday and doctor's orders to stay home on Friday as well. I got the flu! A virus, so no medication would cure me...I just had to rest lots and drink lots of fluids. But man, the flu for a week!

I was barely able to pack last night and was exhasuted when i finally got it done and then when I got up early this morning to head to the airport I certainly did not feel any better. As we got closer to the airport I realized, there's no way I can get on a plane, and, the last place I want to be sick is in Mexico. What if I got worse? So, we were a no show, and a no go to Mexico!

But no worries, we have a legit reason to cancel: sickness and death are the two allowable reasons to cancel and get a refund.....ah yes, that is IF you chose to purchase cancellation insurance. So not only do we miss out on a week in Mexico, we also don't get our money back. $2000 down the toilet and fast! And I still don't feel well, no duh!

Talk about a lesson learned!!
