I woke up this morning with PINK EYE. I guess my eye got a belated memo and was trying to still celebrate Valentine's Day. This is the first time I have ever had pink eye. And I'm no fan. But, really...who would be? A hypochondriac maybe? I digress. And on top of the pink eye fun I think I have some sort of flu bug. I have had bodyaches, nausea, still have a bad headache that won't go away, and overall blahness. If I didn't know any better I would swear I'm pregnant. I feel the exact same as I did about 6 weeks in the last time. But a visit from Aunt Flo proves me otherwise...and leaves me with the result of just being plain ol' sick and nasty. I'm going to cut this short now because I just want to curl up on the couch with my book and a blanket and a prayer that baby M won't be a handful today. Ha! Riiiigggghhhttt. Not with the 'tude she is throwing these days.

Good news, though! Just because I have to cut this short, doesn't mean you have to go without a dose of Tina. 😀 Head over to Vee's blog to check out an interview with yours truly. I know we would both appreicate it! 😉

And since I had so much fun answering the questions for her, I thought it would be fun to participate in all of this Q&A that is going on in the blog world right now. I love learning more about all of you and would love to share more about me as well. So drop me a line in an email at [email protected] with a question you would love for me to answer. It can be about anything! Mundane, serious, whatever!

And lastly - the results of Fun Fact Friday. I gave you all the weekend to ponder. And once again I have done it! Fooled a good many of you! I do not have a tattoo. I have a severe fear of needles and would never ever put myself through that process. So, it is true that I have a brother! He lives in Arizona and I only get to see him a few times a year. Since my blog is more about daily stuff and I don't see him often (like I do my sister), I know he doesn't get brought up a lot. I love him a ton though. He is coming into town tomorrow to stay for a few weeks with my parents and I cannot wait to see him this weekend and more in the next couple of weeks. 🙂 I will hate to see him go back home...but he has work and his boyfriend (yes, I said boyfriend) in AZ so that will sadly happen.

Well, time for me to skidaddle to the couch! Ciao!!!

Woo! How crazy that I have done 100 posts since starting this blog in like September or October of this past year 🙂 I don't really have anything too exciting, like a giveaway, to commemorate it though. So hopefully you just love me and the stuff I ramble about 😉

Yesterday we did end up being able to make it out of the stupid steep hill at the front of our neighborhood to make it to the birthday get together for our niece. It's always nice to spend time with family.

Last night we just got subs and I finished up my book. D is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton.

A Kinsey Millhone Mystery

This is just another book in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series. I didn't like it quite as much as the three I have read so far, but I did still enjoy it. I am always a fan of mystery books where you try to figure out who the bad guy is too. The series starts with the book A is for Alibi and so far she has written through the letter U. I plan on reading them all. 😉

Today was teaching Sunday School. I didn't make it to service because Peter kept M home due to her hopefully getting over this bad cough and I had to get back to help him with her. Our Sunday school class was good though. So today's Good Life Sunday topic will go along with what we talked about in class. We discussed how some cultures that were in central and influential locations during the ancient times would sacrifice their children in the fire in the belief that their lands would be blessed with fertility and produce. Now, when considering that it is very easy for us to be disgusted and wonder how in the world they could have done that!? But, even today, we will sacrifice parts of our life to attempt to gain prosperity. No, it may not be by giving our children up to burn to death, but how many people in our culture idolize money, power, fame, sex, other's opinions, even watching TV, etc. We all have things that we put on a pedestal and that can remove us from where our focus should be - our faith and all the good it provides us. I know I've been guilty of idolizing food, workouts, etc and desiring recognition from others about how dedicated I am to my body. There was a time where it went from being healthy and working out as a way to take care of the body and health God blessed me with, to idolizing it and letting it control my life. So even good things can work against us if we allow them to be idols and cause us to sacrifice things that really matter. So, in summary, today's Good Life Sunday lesson to consider is where do you put your focus? Is there something that consumes your life, that perhaps shouldn't or should be more balanced with other areas?

And on a fun note...check out the cute Valentine I got from Peter and Makenzie today. Even if, M got into it before I was able to snap a good picture 😉 I had to chase that girl down to get that chocolate from her!

I like chocolate!!!
