Has been rather hectic and crazy. Enough so that I've decided boring and sane sound pretty darn good. After Kevin coming down with the flu and Jason catching it, they were both coughing for two solid weeks. I truly am not sure how I missed out on this lovely illness other than I had something very similar New Year's Day that lasted almost two weeks.
After going back to work and Jason getting back into school, we spent a weekend in Denver. Now let me assure you, my dear gentle readers, that we love Denver, we truly do. It's a fantastic city with everything you could possibly imagine to eat, see and or do. We opted to spend Saturday at the zoo. 87 degrees, sunny, and HOT. I managed to somehow NOT get sunscreen on my left shoulder and ended up with a nasty sunburn on it. YUCK. We had fun, it's a nice zoo and we plan to go back once they get their new elephant deal going later in the summer. We finally ate at Maggiono's and it was awesome! Best Italian food I've ever eaten. Hands down. Back at our hotel I started feeling cold from the sunburn and ended up falling asleep around 8:30. I know, I'm such a party animal.
Sunday we enjoyed the hotel breakfast and then headed to Coors Field. Sunday was not 87, sunny, and hot. Oh no. Sunday was a high of 57, cloudy, and cold. That's right. We had a good time though and the Braves won so of course we were glad we went. There were a ton of Braves fans there. A ton. Almost more of them than Rockies fans. We stopped at our usual Starbucks in Castle Pines on the way home and then arrived home around 7:00. Everything was fine. Went to bed at a normal time. And. Then. Then it happened. Around 10:30. I have not been that sick in a very, very long time. It was violent. Best word to describe it. Around 2:30 I got super, super thirsty and my wonderful husband who I'd already awaken from being sick, got me ice and water in separate cups. I gulped the water down and sucked on and chewed those ice cubes til they were gone! Then I had him get me more. All the while, still being violently ill. At 7:00 he called the doctor and the nurse said water is a bad idea. NOW she tells us. :) Gaterade she says. Kevin went up and got some and once I started sipping it I really did start to feel better. And then. Then he got sick. Exactly the same. Very violent. Turns out we had food poisoning from pizza from the ballpark. Jason didn't eat any, so he didn't get sick. We are jsut feeling normal today, a week after. It was brutal.
This past Saturday night we had date night. We had dinner at Colorado Mountain Brewery and it was excellent! Tried to see The Avengers but it was sold out. Piddled around Barnes & Noble instead and went to Starbucks.
Mother's Day Kevin made buttermilk chocolate chip pancakes for me. YUM. Michael made a throw pillow for me and his friend Kelly, made one for me, too. Kevin got me pink roses and a coffee mug and Jason gave me a card and a coffee mug. Chris, Michelle and Sable did facetime last night. We ate dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery and again, excellent food.
Today Jason and I finally got back to school and Kevin is at work, so hopefully everything will settle down from our illness.
For now, it's time to make dinner because Kevin will be home soon from work. :)
