I Got Nothing

To write about!  Since we've been sick I've done a big huge nothing.  Because of all the snow and crazy weather we've been having (today we had thunder snow), Spencer and I haven't seen the inside of a car in 5 days.  I'm going stir crazy.  But I am feeling a little better today and Spencer is almost back to normal.  Well, she acts like she's perfectly fine, but the gooey grossness that comes out of her nose indicates that she's not 100%.  (And I have to clean up that nose!  Not my favorite thing to do.)

I would really like to sleep for an uninterrupted four hours tonight- that's my goal.  I've been waking up every hour coughing and that is no fun.  Plus I have to try and not wake up Spencer, so it just makes everything that much more difficult. I need some ideas of fun things to do in the house when your not feeling your best.  Any suggestions? 

Languishing

I have what Spencer has.  She is doing better, but still isn't quite up to par.  We've been staying at my parents house so that they can help out with Spencer, since I'm sick now.  It's supposed to snow again tomorrow.  Ugh!  There's still so much snow on the ground.  I'm hoping that my head clears and I can breathe out of my nose again soon.  I'm watching Couples Retreat right now- it's pretty funny!  Although every time I laugh it hurts my sinuses and I start coughing up a lung.

In My Makeup Bag

I wrote about my must have essential beauty products a few months ago, but since it's also today's Show Us How You Live topic, I thought I'd repost it and add a few more things to it.  First of all, I LOVE makeup and I'm on a constant quest to find the best anti-aging/prevent aging products.  Since I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on these types of things, it makes it a little more difficult- but not impossible.

Okay, so my favorite must have essential items are: Fiberwig Mascara in black, Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Blunt (but Baked is a really good summer color), NARS blush in Orgasm, MAC Fluidline Eyeliner in Blacktrack (but you can't buy MAC at Sephora), and Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash cleanser and exfoliator. Those are my have to haves, or really want to haves! I don't usually wear foundation because my skin doesn't need it all that much, but when I do wear, my favorite is Smashbox's High Definition Foundation in Fair 01. I also really like MAC's Fix Powder, but I brush it on because it can look a little heavy (which is great for bad skin days).

Some of the other things you can find in my makeup bag are Russian Red MAC lipstick and DuWop Lip Vemon,

Who Likes Wednesdays?

My little Spencer isn't feeling well today and she is in a mood, let me tell you!  We spent last night with the PGPs and she cried every 30 minutes, all night long.  She wouldn't wake up exactly, she'd just start wailing until I could soothe her back to dreamland.  It was a LONG night.  Thank goodness we were at their house, because they let me sleep in a few extra hours this morning since I got practically no sleep last night. 

This morning she was acting fine, no fever, but her nose was super runny and she had a little cough.  The doctor said if she isn't any better by tomorrow to bring her in to see him.  She is napping right now, hopefully it give her body a good rest and she'll feel better when she wakes up.  I don't really have much of anything else to write about!  Oh, wait, yes I do.  Please pray for Spencer's Great-Poppy- the PGP's are going to the Middle of Nowhere, NC today because he's been having a few health issues.  One of them seems like it might be something pretty serious, so I know he could really use your prayers.  Okay, now I'm officially out of words.

Winter Wonderland Weekend

We had a huge snow storm here this weekend with over a foot of snow!  It started early Saturday morning and didn't stop until early Sunday morning.  We were snowed in with my bestie and her family, which was great for Spencer- she had such a great time playing with the other kiddos.  It was great for us because we got to have a lot of girl time! Yesterday we played in the snow and made 3/4 of a snowman.  The girls got tired of being out in the cold so we had to go in.  We thought about finishing him late last night but we were all too tired.  Richmond is still currently under a blanket of white, with all of local schools still closed through tomorrow.  And if you can even imagine this- it's supposed to snow again this weekend!  This kinda weather is just CRAZY, but it makes for some great pictures.  Here are a few more of Spencer over the weekend.
