My sincerest apologies to my father and to the internet for leaving you with a readout of my urine for weeks on end. I have been a little busy making regular deposits to the porcelain god and really don’t have time to fill you in on my status. Threw up today. Threw up 5 times today. By the way, I threw up my oatmeal this morning. Almost made it through today without throwing up. Threw up and peed my pants at the same time. Let me just sum it up for you…I’ve been throwing up a lot.
I’m sick of being sick. I’ve never hated eating so much in my life. I’ve ruined so many things that I used to like and I can’t stand the smell of the rest. It’s torture. I basically eat a lot of bread and now that is even repulsive.
Now let me just stop you right there. Don’t even say it. I’ve tried lots of things and would you know it, there is really nothing you can do for it. So you can just save your “have you tried this?” for someone else, because I don’t want to hear it. The thing that is working for the most part for me is a combination of a sleeping pill (don’t worry, it is non-addictive) and B6 at night and another B6 in the morning. I know this because when I was off of it for a while I threw up more. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that this part is almost over and I won’t be feeling this way the whole time, as some unfortunate women do.
For now I will leave you with a picture of the child who has a basket of spankings waiting for “shim” for making my life miserable. Keep it up kid and the basket will only get bigger.

A week ago my friend took me out for sushi. I had never had sushi before, and to be quite honest I was a little on the nervous side. I’m not big on the idea of raw food, but she assured me that there would be cooked rolls as well. So I rolled up my sleeves and jumped feet first. Worse case scenario, I could always grab a hamburger on the way home. 
The place was cool. In the center of the restaurant were stations where they made all the sushi. That was surrounded by a wall with a train on top for the food to go around on and then there were tables all around the wall.
The plates are all color coded and each color has it’s own price. You just pick the plates you want and when you are ready for the check they just add up your colors and give you your bill.
Hmmmm….what to eat. I started out simple. Noodles. Can’t go wrong with noodles.
Now I have never used chopsticks before either. I guess my fingers just aren’t that coordinated when my stomach is growling and all I want is for the food to get in my belly, but my friends made me use them. They wouldn’t not let me ask for my security fork. I deserve a pat on the back for good effort.
Next I tried the smoked salmon, avocado, and cream cheese roll. Not too bad. A little on the smokey side, but not too bad. I also tried one of my friend’s shrimp, avocado, and cucumber roll. That was good. Throw in a pot sticker, not so good, and another plate of noodles and I was full. Check please!
All in all it was a fun expirience that I will most likely try again, but maybe with a long break in between.

I can hear my mother saying it now… “If everybody jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?” Yes, mom. If everybody jumped off a bridge, I would do it too. And I would do it twice…remember?
Me bungee jumping in 2000.
So when everybody is getting iPhones, naturally I should get one as well. I’m still in a haze over the whole thing. Friday evening Jonathan was talking about how he was at a job and how nice it would have been if he had an iPhone to test out some of the equipment that he was setting up. I of course said that we should just go get some since we were needing new phones anyway. Next thing I know we are driving down to the Apple store and walking out with new iPhones. Yes, it was a bit of an impulse purches, which always makes me nervous, but let me tell you…this baby is SWEET! Check out my green cover (because green is the bomb!).
Whether I really needed this phone or not, it is fabulous. It is everything in 1. I’m able to keep track of my calories. Why? Because there’s an App for that. I can update my Facebook wherever I am. Why? Because there’s an App for that. I can update pictures to Flikr when I capture one. Why? Because there’s an App for that. I have an instant level for an off-kilter situations. Why? Because there’s an App for that. I even was able to send an email while I was out on the road today. Why? No, there’s not an App for that. It comes standard. 
The pedometer App even came in handy when we went for a walk this evening. I logged a little over 4500 steps. Would you believe that there’s even and App called iProcrastinate? Now not only can I procrastinate things I need to get done, I can keep track of the things that I’m procrastinating and procrastinate checking them off my list. What more can you ask for? Millions of other Apps I’m not even aware of yet.
