OMG! The things that can come out of a human body are amazing! Especially they looked and smelled better then that when they went in! So I'm over the flu, but now John has it. He's also got bronchitis still. Poor boy, I think he's delirious though! As he’s losing his cookies, he's also cracking some really funny jokes.
It's the same with things that can come out of a carpet. We had a decent vacuum - used it lots. Then yesterday we bought a Dirt Devil vacuum with a hepa filter. This thing made it look like I've never vacuumed this place! I had to go over the carpet (it was laid down only five months ago) three times before I saw a dent in what was coming up!
Anyway, on to less mundane things, JACKIE'S HAVING TWINS! We were in Wal-Mart yesterday and I was looking at all the things that aunties and uncles could spoil babies and young (and impressionable) children with. This is going to be so much fun! John also got his ears pierced! I always thought he was sexy before, but now... I think he's realizing that there may be a few advantages to giving into your bed partners fantacies! BTW "B" John's been a card carrying member of the "pierced freaks club" for almost three years. You welcomed him into it just after our wedding, too.
count down: 14 weeks!

Not Exciting!
Wednesday, March 08, 2006
Apparently my last blog wasn't exciting enough!
So tell you about something that happened last night.
Yesterday I watched a commercial asking for blood donations. In this commercial was a girl who had an organ transplant and had needed blood. So I thought about Sarah (for those who don't know, Sarah is a friend, who on Saturday had a lung transplant) and I had the idea that I'd donate blood for all the Sarahs out there who'd need it. When John came home I told him my idea, he said it was a good one and he'd donate, too. After spending close to an hour and a half in traffic, we finally got to the donor clinic. However, they can't take my blood because my Hemoglobin is .3% below what they like, even though I have a rare blood type, AB+. I'm invited back in 52 days after I load myself up on vitamin C and folic acid (which I should start taking again anyway). Both of those are supposed to help my body absorb the iron I need.
John passed his iron test though. His little droplet of blood sank to the bottom of the test tube at terminal velocity! It only took him 6 minutes to completely fill the bag, and he has O- blood, which meant the clinic was VERY happy with him!
After that we stayed at the clinic so John could have some food before we drove home.
Anyway, I hope this post was more exciting than the last.

It's a very bad sign when you start thinking in blog titles!

John and I went for a walk last night in the "snow storm" - we must have been on the edge of it or something because all we got was a few lousy inches of light powder over night - when we started talking about what we were going to put in our next blogs. I was going to name mine "Snow storm?" Blogging is a bit of an addiction to me right now. It's the only way we have with keeping in touch with everyone and seeing what's going on in other's lives. People call us about as often as we call them. That' will change when we get back and don't have to worry about long distance charges.
On another note, I finally went out and did it. I bought winter boots! Not those pansy-ass things that John likes or the ones that suicidal women on the coast wear. You know the ones that break your ankle just by walking past a snowflake? These are real winter boots! Plow through a snow bank without knowing it was there, keep your feet warm and dry in a "snow storm" and kick your ass winter boots. And they look cool too! These ones would also work on the coast they're not so big that they'd look out of place but would still keep my feet dry when I walked through the winter puddles there.
Physio on my hand is fun! Please note the extreme sarcasm. Some days I have almost full range of my finger, others - like today- I have almost nothing, and it's very stiff. But my therapist says that it could take up to two years for it heal properly. I have another appointment tonight, that should help with the stiffness. I hope.
