I wonder if chewing gum helps your jaw line? Well to become toned. I don’t think it does but that might be another job for google. I’ve been chewing a lot of gum lately, the jaw line thing wasn’t on my mind it’s an afterthought. But if I did ever get plastic surgery I would get my chin/neck area done.

So I’ve been sick again. Over Valentine’s weekend while JustAnUglyMonkey and I were hanging out he hadn’t been feeling very well, he just slept a lot and I was just fine. And guess what my gift was? A full blown creepy infection where I couldn’t talk or breathe sometimes. Sucked. But I’m alive now. Mama Monkey helped us out and I don’t think I’d be around today, I think I’d still be somewhere hacking up a lung. Now I just have a runny nose and a little cough. It’s still really funny to make JustAnUglyMonkey laugh, if he does he starts coughing…. well it’s funny until he whaps at me and I start coughing too, which makes more laughing, and more coughing it’s really a vicious circle of laughing and coughing, it doesn’t sound right, but there’s something damn funny about it. My poor Blondie is sick too now I’m going out to see her and give her humidifier back to see if it helps her. Doc says she has walking pneumonia, but she sounds okay and she sits at home hacking crap up, reading, and taking naps with the kitties. Doesn’t sound like a bad day to me. I could go for that. Oh wait I had my time…. but mine was pretty much spent in a medicated stupor. I lost 5 lbs while sick, but I wish that all that coughing not only felt like a million sit ups but looked like it. I could go for having a sexy six-pack.
I’ve also became a huge fan of Blistex products, they are amazing for dry lips, which I’ve had since becoming a mouth breather. (I think I’ve chewed like 15 gumballs now wow.) I have decided not to go blonde in the spring. I’m going Auburn-red. I like being a darker color I think… who knows what I’ll want in a few weeks.
I love watching Gray’s Anatomy it’s very addictive. I’ve only really seen the first and 5th seasons. I know that’s crazy, wouldn’t I be lost, but I’m not, I get the just of it.

Ahhhh spring is almost here! It’s been raining this whole week! It’s been kind of nice and pretty, but it really makes me want to just nap. JustAnUgly Monkey got a new car! I love and miss the jeep, but the new car is sexy!!
Still no wedding plans, but I’ve been looking around at different things still, I’ve checked out this one place in Mexico that looked really nice called La Amada. Wedding’s there cost around $900 and the hotel is only 30 mins away from Cancun. Or we are going to the Argosy Casino next weekend with some friends and I thought wow that’s a very beautiful place so I asked them if weddings could be held there…and yes for the price of $5,000… grrrr. I just keep thinking something perfect will pop out like if usually does, but the being patient is the hard part for me. JustAnUglyMonkey’s mom and dad had a booklet out for Hawaii, when we asked them about it they said that they were going in two years and I think we pretty much invited ourselves. Lol Monkey called me a few days later and said, that he had an idea, why don’t we get married in Hawaii in 2 years? My response was 2 YEARS??!?! I mean I’m all for Hawaii, but a) TWO YEARS! b) I think the Hawaii vacation is mean to be a relaxing thing and well having my family along and a wedding is not going to be a relaxing thing.

He really wants to buy a house also, although I don’t know if he’s looked much. He wanted to use our tax refunds for the down payment. Cool beans I’d love to get a house! But I don’t’ want to live in a house with him for 2 years and then get married. Not much in my life has gone the way I would like it to have gone. But this one thing I would really like to have, I wouldn’t mind staying a week or even a few weeks in the house together before the wedding, it would be fun to get our house ready and it would probably be good for both of us planning wise to be in the same place. I just feel like years is too long, it doesn’t sit well with me. And I want a doggie, and a baby. I know, I know I’ve always thought I wanted to spend a few years hanging out with my husband alone before I had kids, but I keep seeing our friend’s little girl and I can’t stop myself from thinking I used to look like that when I was little, but ours will have Monkey’s pretty eyes and eyelashes. Yikes! Did I just think that?! Where is my usual I don’t like anything that comes out of a little person they scream and

yell and cry and cost a ton? It’s starting to go away, I now think about holding a little person that is all my own to make funny faces, do and say funny things. Reading stories and coloring, hugging them when they are sick or scared. Having a little buddy. I know it’s not that easy, but if they were so bad people wouldn’t keep having them. I really want a dog too; after Monkey went on his dog streak I found that I really wanted one too. Someone that would be around when he is not, to take for walks and play with. Puppy!!!
So there you have it! A little update on life. Next up St.Patty’s day!!! Me, Georgia and some of our friends are taking off to go see the St. Patty’s parade and celebrate. Should be some good times!
In need of a nap,
