oh.no.she.didnt.

oh yes...she did. she, being me of course. i bought store hair color. yep. i have gone cheap. i can no longer justify spending over $100 on getting my highlights-when i like them for all of but one week-and then get bored with it....and guess what-i like it. the color turned out great. so, i know its been like-2 weeks since my last post...life has been wonderfully unexciting. this week has had some excitement. my body is currently being possessed by this 'wonderful' illness called bronchitis....ugh. going on one week. i have NO voice-havent for like 3 days now. trying to talk expends as much energy as my normal 3 1/2 mile run. seriously. i think the kids are enjoying it-bc mom cant yell. kelly probably is, too.

i finally painted my kitchen. yay! and i did it all by myself. well, kelly helped with the wall above the cupboards....of course, there has to be a story somewhere in all this.....so, i get home from work one afternoon-jae was still at school and emersyn was with kell, so i figured it'd be a good time for me to finish my painting up....kell says he and emersyn will come over in a little bit to help. no problem. the more the merrier....so here i am, painting away. the color is a brown/taupe color. knock knock. oh yay. kell and emersyn are here. my paint dish is on the ground. no prob-sampson is sleeping in my lap anyway-not worried about it. i open the door and in come kelly emersyn and......ozzy. ozzy is kellys fluff ball of a chiuahuah. who hates sampson. who sampson loves to terrorize. so, all at once, sam is chasing ozzy and lo and behold-ozzy runs away----only to run straight into the paint dish. and all over my kitchen floor. now. big deal, right? just wipe it up... um no. not that easy. the previous owners of my house-for whatever crazy reason-put indoor/outdoor carpeting over the beautiful hardwood floors. so there is carpeting in my kitchen. suddenly i have little brown paint footprints all over my kitchen.....crap. this is great. just great. i have planned on getting the woodfloors refurnished-however when the money is there.....looks like i will have to do this sooner than later....your probably thinking i freaked out. actually- i didnt. at all. what are ya gonna do? i was pretty proud of myself for keeping my cool...

today is the packer game. i am so excited. it is 1:15 in the afternoon, the game starts in exactly 2 hours. only in the state of wisconsin do we packer fans get this pumped up. this morning kelly was on his way to get his hair cut and saw a boy running up and down the road with a huge packer banner and a cheesehead hat attacking cars.....jaelynn has her brett favre jersey on and emersyn is clad in her long sleeve packer shirt. emersyn even yells, 'go packers'. i love it. carrying on the packer tradition....i dont know what ill do if they lose....it makes me nauseated to think about it. i mean, this is like a family affair. people all over the state of wisconsin plan their lives around these kind of events. im sure some of the surgeons i work with probably are even planning surgery around this. whats even crazier-is that before the game and after the game-the hospital ER is crazy-but during the game-come hell or high water-doesnt matter if you are having a heart attack or stroke-you cant miss the game....you may be laughing-but i am serious!!! this is like a way of life. i know its crazy. you have to be a packer fan to understand.

well, my fellow friends, i need to take a shower and prepare for the game....my spot on my couch awaits me. along with a nice cold beer. thats another thing-you cant watch/or go to a game without drinking a nice cold beer.....this is wisconsin, after all....go pack go!!!!!!
