Vitamin D and a whole lot more...


Ok I am getting all caught up I just got back from vacation in Az, aka The Valley of the Sun! I had a blast as always! I stayed in my lil slice of heaven with Odie and Nannels. It was very relaxing and the perfect temp. I wasn't as good as laying out as I usually am. I am VERY white right now and I didn't want to burn so I traded off sun and shade and wore 45 all over. 

Sat night I went to a 50th wedding anniversary with some close friends of the fam it was so great to see everyone! The Moskal daughters pulled off a fabulous party for their parents. Two of the daughters are my blogging buddies Kathy and Patty. It was SO good to see them click on their names to read their blogs, I have known them both forever they use to babysit me :) I wish I could of spent more time with them. Hmm perhaps the next Moskal reunion should be in SLC???

I thought this pic was funny... Our feet ? Looks like it might be the bottom of the pic above.




Sunday I went to a fun BBQ with some friends that I haven't seen for a while as well. It was good to catch up with them. Mon I got to go to lunch with my good friend Summer from High school. Yep 2 of us... We spell it different tho but in high school both of or last names started with Mc. I hadn't seen her for 3 years, she just moved to Az so I am excited to see her more often! I got to meet her cute lil baby Adia who is such a doll. That night I got to spend time with my Cousins which is always fun and Odie cooked us some AMAZING steaks mmmmm! 

Sum and I with Baby Adia


Tues I had to leave and I always wish I could just have a couple more days. I met up with my Cyster Sara for coffee before my flight. I wish we would have had more time together but I will be back again soon. It was SO great to finally meet her in person! She is SO fabulous and at the end of our visit Mike her husband met up with us. I am so glad I got to meet them both they are such an amazing couple. We were so pressed for time and were covering so many things that we forgot to get a photo. I am so bummed, but we will next time for sure! We were talking about the e mails that Sharlie, Sara and I were sending back in forth when we first came up with "Cysters" and Sara asked what we should refer to the guys as.... so now we have Cysters and Fibros! So Ronnie you are our Fibro :) We are looking into getting a patent for these ;)

So I was way paranoid to fly with this whole Swine flu. So I wore a mask from the Az curb to the SLC curb. I wish there was a hidden camera in the mask because the looks and comments were quite entertaining. 

A couple comments I got:

Guy sitting across the aisle from me~ "Should we be afraid of you or are you afraid of us"
 
Husband~"Look she has a mask"
Wife~"jealous"

Daughter to her Mom~ "What? Why is she wearing a mask"

Girl in front of me~ "Sorry I fell asleep did you hear me make a noise"
Me~ "Oh no you're fine" with a sweet chuckle
Girl~"Oh good I didn't want you to think I was a freak"
Me~"Um I am the one in the mask"
Girl~ "Yeah so do you just not want to get sick?"

Lady in front of me in the security line~ "So are you scared of the Swine flu?" a lil snidely
Me~ YES! and I also have a lung disease so I am trying to stay healthy.
LAdy~ "ahh oh stumbling for words I am sorry to hear that" at least she didn't tilt her head :)

Mother's day is less than 2 weeks away... The perfect gift would be a Love to Breathe necklace!

I ♥ WICKED!!!

The Greatest show on Earth and no I am not talking about the Circus.... I went to Wicked last night, finally after years of wanting to see it! It was INCREDIBLE!!! It's based off the novel by Gregory Maguire. It tells the untold story of the two witches from The Wizard of Oz. What an imagination this man has. My favorite character was Glinda she was such a riot. I also loved Elphaba too tho. Seriously the best show I have ever seen! I am so glad I saw it! I wouldn't mind seeing it again and I after I post this I am logging on to I tunes to get the soundtrack! 

If you have a chance to see this I HIGHLY recommend it!!

They finally got out of the bedroom but only to move into the hall.... I had to turn the fire on to get them to start moving.
How would it be to live the life of a Love pug?

How many boxes will it take?

Allergies, Sinuses, green boogs Oh my!!!!!  I know TMI but ugh!!! Spring has sprung and it is worse then its ever been. My nose is like a faucet, I have blown it more then I can count today. 
I am doing everything under the sun to keep it under control so I don't get a sinus infection. Well at least I think I don't have one yet. However, I'm not going to lie there are some green lil monsters coming out with the help of my netti pot.

So far my regime consists of:
* nasonex in the am and pm
*Allegra D in the Am 
*sudafed around 3pm and before bed
*Gargling with Apple Cider Vinegar plus drinking a Tbl spoon 3x a day
*upped my USANA
*netti pot in the am and pm one pot per nostril
*my olive leaf nasal spray every 2 hours
*olive leaf throat spray am and pm
*cleaning my ears am and pm with a teeny bit of hydrogen peroxide

Ok so I think that about covers it. Anyone have anything else I can add? My eyes are watery and I am sneezy too. I think I may take a Benedryl before I hit the rack tonight. I told ya everything under the sun :)

Thanks for all the Easter wishes and well wishes for Oscy and I. He took the last of his antibiotic yesterday and his 3 bites are healing the one on his leg is the worst but he is on the mend. 

I was good until these allergies started.

I did get some peeps and I tried freezing them best thing EVER!! I gobbled them all down!

Not an Expert

Ok so I have been making cupcakes lately and to make cupcakes you have to buy eggs. Well I don't usually buy eggs, and I don't have any plans to make any more cupcakes for a while. So, I made a nice breakfast for the babies yesterday and scrambled one for each of them. I still had some left over so I thought I would hard boil the rest of them for Easter. 

Well I had to video tape it... Is that sound normal? It sounded like my eggs were going to hatch. I think it was just the air trapped in the eggs because I saw lots of bubbles when I first put them in the water, but really they should make some other type of noise. I had to stop the boiling process..... So now I have hard soft boiled eggs.
