Can You Bring Me A Cough Drop?

I've been feeling under the weather since Sunday afternoon. I don't think it's anything too bad, probably just a cold. I don't have a fever which is a plus but I sure do feel yucky. Thankfully I don't have class today so I can curl up in bed all day if I want to. If only my bed was as comfy as this one looks...

I plan on drinking copious amounts of tea (maybe throw in a little OJ while I'm at it) to try and flush my system of this bug. I hate being sick, especially the sore-throat-kind which is what I seem to only get.

Maybe this afternoon I'll feel up to making some more muffins as I still have blueberries left. Or maybe I'll take a trip to the store (thankfully we're not experiencing the effects of the ice-box that seems to be dominating the rest of the country right now. Negative temps, no thanks!) to make something delicious in leu of Valentine's Day being right around the corner. Red velvet cupcakes perhaps? That should make me feel better, right?

For now I'm off to bed with a few pieces of toast and my cute Nook. I think I'll even let this cutie snuggle in the covers with me today. Here's to a quick turn around of this cold just in time for my birthday this weekend. A girl can hope at least.

Happy Hump Day.

Welcome home?

Here's the layout of my day yesterday

5:33 am: alarm goes off, I've been awake since 2:57

5:45 am: packing the car with last minute things

6:18 am: off we go to start our drive

8:07 am: traffic in San Bernadino because of construction, losing time

10:09 am: venti Starbucks in Barstow (yum), Ollie eats breakfast standing at the gas pump

2:44 pm: "Check Engine Soon" light turns on

2:45 pm: shoot, what does that mean? Freak out. We have 500 more miles to drive. Do we pull over? Good thing we have AAA

2:47 pm: Tim says it's fine. "Keep driving till the car starts to smoke"

4:41 pm: Richfield, UT. Enough said. Hopefully we'll make it the 180 miles where there's no services and cell phones don't work

7:10 pm: Yay Grand Junction. This means we're finally in CO

8:00 pm- 11:16 pm: white knuckles, icy roads, no visibility, hills, blind curves, and down pouring snow. Seriously, CO? Thanks for the welcome home.

11:17 pm: Thank you Eisenhower tunnel. Only 40 more miles and way less snow

11:59 pm: We're finally out of the mountains and on C470. My butt is soo flat, I need out of this car

12:22 am: Pizza before bed because I'm starving.

It was a long, pretty easy drive until we hit the blizzard in Vail. Needless to say, I'm tired today. On the agenda for today, running some errands, wrapping some presents, hopefully a nap and.....

best of all hanging out with these loves. I love my two boys and they are just two peas in a pod already.

Travel safe this Holiday Season.
