Hooooooooo weee! That was a doozy! Thanks all of you for your well-wishes, that plus a solid 48+ hours in bed all but whooped this bug. Last week feels a bit like a dream to me, but I have to say that I am totally grateful that the stars aligned and I was afforded the time I needed to rest for a few days.
I am good at one or two things. I can probably get you there from here (impeccable sense of direction), I can tell you any state's capitol by memory (good 5th grade teacher), I can sing every word to R.E.M's “It's the End of the World as We Know it” (too much idle time in junior high) and I make incredible guacamole (if I do say so myself). But the thing I am best at, above all else, is sleeping.
Seriously, ask anyone. If I could make a living sleeping, I would be a Fortune 500 company. I am a wreck if I don't get my 8 hours (“or NINE!” Coach says), my mom even told me that I used to put myself down for naps when I was little. I am serious about sleep. So given the chance to be in bed for 3 whole days…Whell! Let's just say, I did some of my best work.
And Voila! That plus this:
From my darling husband. And of course Lucy was a constant companion (she really went above and beyond):
And I am back! Ready to show this week who's boss!
I have such fun stuff to share with you all this week! A new style board, a HUGE announcement, Lacy is back with Habits of Happiness this week and I have some new Sweetheart Sponsors to share with you! ALL that, and I am going to share my chili recipe with you! I know! And you thought this was just going to be another chilly Monday (har har).
Ok, I think I may be showing signs of cabin fever…better go walk around the block or something.

This is just what I needed…a bit of a pep talk on yet another grey Monday morning in MN. Looking forward to the chili recipe (Boston and Saint Paul seem to be sharing much the same weather this ridiculous winter) and a HUGE announcement, can’t wait! I’m working at the kitchen table today…with my 23 year old son at the other end doing his work….smile!
WOW, what a lunch and I believe 4 legged friends make the best docs/nurses around. They always seem to have the right medicine. Glad you are feeling better.
Glad to see you are back and feeling good! I can’t wait to check your blog again for that chili recipe!
yes, I can attest to your being an insta sleeper. I meant it’s like magic, she hits the pillow and it’s ni-nite. totally amazing. sounds like it’s going to be a very good week! XO
Leigh,
I can definitely identify! That’s how I spent almost all of
my holiday weeks ending 2010. I also could run that
Fortune 500 company with you. Sleep!! Absolutely love it
when I am not in front of the easel. Enjoying your blog
and love your style!
