Scallops

Life lately & my nose

Besides driving through a random snowstorm, life has been good lately!I think I have played board games like 3 nights in a row this past week. I played a game called Elfinland at a college game night and Taboo on NYE at church and on Sunday (@ home, w/ family) because the power went out for 4 hours due to a rain and windstorm.ย [College student game night was a lot of fun!][My family + Jimmy all huddled around the candles and played Taboo and charades until the power came on.]

I have been staying up late (and subsequently sleeping in!) to watch some amazing movies and eat delicious food.ย [Goldfish and Water For Elephants… a good match.]SCALLOPS!

I have also been using Starbucks gift cards that I got for Christmas like none other. I guzzle peppermint mocha’s like it’s my business.ย 30 seconds later….Gone.

I’ve been scaring Jimmy. He is afraid of my biceps getting too bulky..I wore a cap-sleeved dress on Sunday and it didn’t fit my shoulders. Ugh.

He is also afraid of bowling with me.You see, I like bowling, but I just get so mad/frustrated if I don’t do well! I have a love-hate relationship with bowling for sure.

My nose has been hurting lately.I had to have my nose almost completely reconstructed in 2009 after a car accident.[Post-surgery 2009.]

For about a week, I have been experiencing bleeding within my nose and i’m pretty sure my septum (the area between the nostrils) has shifted to the point where it is causing a lot of pain + it has affected my breathing a little. I’m going to call my surgeon today and get an appointment to have it looked at, just to make sure everything is okay. :/ Bleh.

Have a great day!!

Thank you

Happy Monday. The last Monday in January 2011. Ground Hogs Day is coming up! Any special plans?

I titled this post “Thank you” because I wanted to express my thanks to everyone who commented on my blog and tweeted me this weekend wishing me and my little sister good luck at our swim meet.

It really means a lot to me ๐Ÿ™‚ I โค blog friends!!!

 

Here are the rest of the pictures of my weekend:

Pittsburgh Steelers swim cap? Yuuuup!

Friday night dinner out at Mitchell’s Fish Market atย The Waterfront

The scallops were awesome and the pyramid of rice was so good dipped into the gingery-soy sauce. I also had some shrimp for an appetizer.

My friend Catherine and I went ice skating after the swim meet on Saturday. ๐Ÿ™‚

Bible Verse of the day:

Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. Psalm 86:11

Sorry if this post seems a bit random. I feel under the weather today. I think it is because I ate rancid Brazil nuts. . . :/ but I suddenly have a stuffy nose so I doubt it. Do you know of any common cold cures?

I have to work tonight so I will be catching up on everyone’s blog ๐Ÿ™‚

Bye bye !
