CocoNUT - New Addition....

[CocoNUT]

Oh she's been going craft-crazy lately. She could probably "pretty" Uriah up something beautiful! Make him all sparkely and pretty with duct tape and some glue!
Banana bread...LOVE banana bread! (I make some pretty killer banana and pumpkin bread - could help fatten you up a bit Southern!) No nuts or raisins though. Ew....! Hmmmm....don't have bananas right now. I wonder what I'll make for supper. I have two loaves of FRESH bread cooling on the counter. Fortunately the EVIL ONE hasn't discovered them...or they'd be GONE.
I'm trying to decide if I should be cooking OR I should spin up some more of my shetland/angora carded fiber? Although I AM enjoying snuggling with one of my cats too. Hmmm....

Bridge...any news on #26?

Yay for having your chimney fixed and now having a fire in your fireplace

 

[CocoNUT]

well...we have a fire in the woodstove downstairs. It's warmed up the house above 66 degrees! (I like it on the cool side)...all the cats have escaped to the back bedroom where it's cooler! The guy checked the fireplace flue upstairs...and said it's ok. We hardly ever use it though. Too much of a pain to drag all the firewood upstairs! (i'm so lazy)...and i get cranky when it's TOO warm!

Got a nice, toasty fire going though. Just need something really yummy. Ooooh...might make some pinto beans tomorrow. Anyone got a good recipe? I like Cracker Barrel's pinto beans....

Heyy Coconut,

heard your spin like a crazy person...

Just saying Hola !

 

[CocoNUT]

Ok...so didn't feel too well yesterday. Didn't sleep well last night...kept going between cold and hot. (but not sweating). So kept waking up this morning...couldn't figure out why...so finally got up. Well...the EVIL ONE or the DH...one or both of them must've brought me home the Noro Virus...as I've been up all morning with 'issues' shall we say. Not too happy about it either. When I got the flu earlier I was happy I didn't get THIS version...and here I am...on my WEEKEND...suffering from THIS version!
Ok...gotta run again!

Ahhh sorry Coco. Sucks it on the weekend but you know that's the least convenient so of course that's when you'll get it. Hopefully it's over fast though!

So sorry Coco...yup...that's a bad virus. Had a regular flu before Christmas, then got this one a few weeks later...not fun is it? This particular virus had my Dad and Aunt Rose in the hospital for a good week...they are both in their mid 80s, and grateful they got better!

Thing I found with this particular flu is that even when the worst is over...be careful to not go gungho right away...I'm still feeling weaker than normal, but that is slowly going away now. Don't exhaust yourself after this goes away...neighbour is still weak after it and he's much younger than I am.

Take good care of yourself and hope you get over this as soon as possible

Thanks guys. Thankfully my stomach was empty - still sucked to be horking up nothing...but still...
I've managed to keep down a bit of water...so I'm upgrading to gatorade. Don't want to get dehydrated! I had to take a nice, warm/hot shower...and I feel better. My tummy still isn't completely "stable" but I'm feeling better. I'm really hungry...but I'm worried about eating anything...I HATE puking! The other end I can handle...but puking SUCKS!
The EVIL ONE has been good...but now she's all wound up, running around the house, screaming like a banshee. She was barking like a dog and bouncing all over the couch...making me want to puke again. I tell ya...she can be so good sometimes...then ALWAYS finds a way of taking it up about 30 knotches! Of course when i tell her to use all that energy to clean her room, or at least pick it up a bit, she's like NOOOOOO!!!!!
I'm just bummed cause I wanted to get all of our shopping chores done today. i've got Hello Kitty duct tape to buy doggoneit! I'd light up the woodstove, but DH didn't bring in hardly any wood (he's working today)...so then I'd be stuck running outside to get more wood! I got the house good and HOT last night...got the upstairs up to 77 degrees! I was sweating like a crazy person! Then again...it could've been because of this virus thing!

 

[Southern by choice]

I get the puking thing! I use to be a pro at it... all my pregnancies I puked for 5-7 months... when I got pregnant with my 8th my other kids ( all 9 and under) came up and patted my back and said... mommies having a baby! They were so excited... couldn't keep anything secret! They knew puke=pregnant

I have to say when we got that bug when on our trip.... I was surely out of practice!

I hope this passes quickly! oops... no pun intended there!

 

[CocoNUT]

passes quickly huh?! Well...top end seems to have stopped completely....lower half...still deciding whether it's done or not!
Southern..I was lucky with my girl. No morning sickness...I was too busy gaining weight. I was TINY - about 100 lbs when I got preggers. Gained 25lbs before I even knew I was preggers! Only things I couldn't eat were pork (still can't) and lamb - REALLY upsetting! I had a bajillion other issues though...really high risk - she almost killed me...and is STILL trying to finish what she started I think!

Speaking of the EVIL one...I've finally succombed and opened "our" etsy store. I've put the site thingie below...everything on it is hers for now. I wanna get some handspun up there too...just gotta dye it and make it look all 'nice'....She's all excited....but ADHD has set in and she's running around the house like a crazy child....screaming and carrying on....bouncing like a mexican jumping bean...driving me NUTS!
