Sick Day Redux and Weekend Wrap-Up

Yep, I'm home sick again today.  This time, though, it is what I affectionately call "The Crud" and it is not much fun.  It all started with a bit of a sore throat on Sunday evening.  I still had a sore throat Monday morning, but I was not achy so I went ahead and went to my dentist appointment (what a way to start a Monday, huh?) and then on to work.  I drank hot tea, sucked on Ricola cough drops and gargled grapefruit seed extract oil. 

By lunch time I was feeling significantly worse, but I had a lunch meeting so I went ahead and went to that and by the time I got back to the office, I was pretty much feeling like crap.  So, I decided to call the doctor because I've heard the current version of "The Crud" is nasty and doesn't go away.  The doc got me in pretty quickly, took a peek at my throat and my nose and asked me to remind him when my throat started hurting.  He said by the looks of my throat and nose "The Crud" (not his term) was definitely moving fast and he was glad I came in when I did.  So, now I'm on antibiotcs and I'm feeling sort of better today, but I didn't sleep much last night (which I know caused Brandon to not sleep well either) so I decided to stay home today, get a few doses of meds in me and take it easy.  We have a work event in Topeka tomorrow that I need to be at so I'm hoping I can get some rest today so I can be ready to go tomorrow.

Aside from "The Crud", I had a great girls weekend with my sister this past weekend.  We don't get to spend too much time together with just the two of us, so this was a special treat!  We started out on Friday night with some yummy appetizers at my house, then we headed to see The King's Speech, where we indulged in a bucket of popcorn!

Saturday we had a leisurely morning before heading to get Shellac manicures.  The weather was crummy so that was not much fun, but we made the most of it the rest of the day.  After lunch we browsed at a boutique and then met up with my aunt and cousins for lunch at Cafe Moderne.  After lunch, we did more shopping at Lucinda's and then headed to Bradley Fair to do yet some more shopping!  We stopped at Cocoa Dolce for a yummy treat, browsed through Williams Sonoma and ended up at Francesca's where we both did a little damage!  We both picked out a bunch of things, tried them on and ended up getting two items that were identical (I tried to find pics of the items we bought but couldn't find them...).  Thankfully, we live in different cities so our chances of running into each other while wearing the same outfit are slim.  We did a little more browsing the rest of the afternoon and then headed back to my house to get ready for dinner.

One thing my sister likes about my city is that we have a lot of local restaurants, so I wanted to take her somewhere really yummy for dinner.  After thinking about where to go, I knew Luciano's was the perfect spot!  It is a little out of the way, but so worth the drive!  We definitely didn't hold back for dinner and we loved every last morsel.  Needless to say, we both felt like we should do a body cleanse or fast or something after the weekend, but that is what girls weekends are for, right?!

And of course, I didn't take any pictures.  I think I might ask for a small camera for my birthday or something.  I love to have pics for the blog but hate to lug around our big camera...
