New furniture

Hip Hip Hooray for new furniture!! We finally got our couch, love seat, and ottoman today after a little over a month's wait. We got our furniture from a store in Jackson called Miskelly's. That is the coolest store and they honestly have great prices too! Picking something out was the biggest headache! For most guys out there, they would not care what their wives picked out as long as he 1.) did not have to go with her to pick it out, 2.) it didn't cost to much money, or 3.) it could recline/comfortablity, right? Not my Bradley, he truly does care the way it feels, the way it looks and he also had to be there to pick it out! We drove to Jackson, spent the night, got up and drove about another 3 1/2 hrs to a place called Woodlands. We were told they had the best furniture and the best prices. We didn't really see much in this big warehouse so we headed on back to Jackson, back on to Miskelly's where we had been for the past 3 weekends in a row looking. We got there at 6:15 and soon realized they closed at 7. On any normal occassion I could not have picked out my furniture for the next 5 yrs or so in that time frame but being there several other times helped alot! We narrowed it down and bought it a little after 7 only to learn that they were all out in storage, but said they placed an order and we could have one when it came in. Then this lady, who said she was from N.O., told us they placed an order for 11 sets and we just so happened to be the 11th couple to come in and purchase the same furniture set as 10 other ppl. Sounds a little fishy to me that they would place an order for only 11 furniture sets and that I would get the last one!! Well to my astonishment, they called us and delivered our furniture TODAY with a week to spare!!! All of this took place a little over a month ago, just goes to show you how long I have waited and how excited I am to finally have furniture that matches!!

On a positive note, I am feeling much better. On top of having the flu, yesterday I was sick to my stomach hugging the potty. I'm guessing with all the diff. meds they have given me and the Subway sandwich it was bound to happen. Iam feeling so much better....that flu drains the snot out of you and leaves you feeling so weak but not today I am beating the flu! Sounds like I would be a good spokesperson for a flu ad, doesn't it? I will post a picture of our new couches if I get a chance, I know several of you would love to see them.

Being Sick is No FUN!!!

Okay so I have been home from school for the past 3 days and probably am not going tomorrow either. I have the FLU!!! Yes, the flu!!!! I havent had the flu since I was like in elementary school. I have only had the flu one time this time being my second time in my whole life. The school I work for offers the flu shot for $15 back in Jan. but I thought "not me I wont get the flu," or "I'm not going to spend $15 on a shot that may or may not work," or my favorite was " it's going to hurt and I don't want to pay money for something to hurt!" I also kep telling myself that I have only had it once in my life, I'm sure I will be fine without it. I was wrong, you hear that everyone I WAS WRONG!! I will for sure get that shot next year. I have been to the doctor twice withine the past 3 days and have spend a grand total of about $75-$80 on office visits and medicine. They originally diagnosed me as having bronchitis but then I have had fever ever since Sunday, so I had to call them back about another issue and while I was on the phone with them they said "No you aren't to run fever with bronchitis come back in so we can check you for the flu." So, in the pouring ran shivering to death I went back and tested poisitive for the flu. He actually gave me a mask to wear and said I needed to wear it everywhere i went so I won't get anyone else sick. Do you know how impossible it is to wear a mask that you can't really breathe out of and it almost makes you sweat to breathe in and out of it. Okay I am felling like I have to lay down. Hope everyone else stays well and doesn't have to wear a mask!:)

Its been a while..

Im back!! Sorry I havent posted in a while. Long story short Bradley was downloading something on the computer and it took a whole whopping week to download. You can't run more than one thing on this computer or it will take the rest of your life to get it. So that's what one week of my life was like. Now I think you are only a week behind (maybe). Anyways, whose counting out there!! Today, I am at home sick. Of course, I have to get sick and it has to ice over on the ONLY day I am off. We were off for our wonderful President's Day. What would I do without those guys giving me a day off ?!?! Then yesterday it had to go off and ice everything over here. I mean why couldn't it have waited till we had to go back to school. I on the other hand decided I needed another day off, really I have been running fever for the past 2 days and finally stopped running it last night. I feel much better just still a little tired. Not much has happend since I last posted. I have cleaned my house a few times. Boy, did it need it. We are still having problems with dirt coming in. Lol we still don't have any grass yet so everytime the dog goes outside or we go outside we have to clean up where we just walked inside. Did I mention that we have the smartest dog on the planet. Bradley did an amazing job on training her. She does several tricks. Hold on I'm gonna brag for a bit. She can sit, shake, lay down, give you high fives, she can even roll over and play dead when you say "bang", she can stay and not get up until you tell her to. She can also understand everything you say. Bradley will tell her to go get her toy and in like a second she will come back with a toy. She understand alot of things, I know I sound crazy but here is the kicker. When we let her outside, if she comes back in with mud or water on her feet she let's you wipe them clean. She will turn around in circles so you are not to inconvience yourself. She turns around so that you get each foot. Isn't she amazing and to be honest I'm not even a big fan of her type of dog. I don't really care for Shi-zhus I think thats how you spell it. She does have some draw backs though, but I won't go there.

Enough about my dog. Did I mention that I have the best husband on the planet also? I know that I could get killed for that comment, b/c I know that other women out there think there husband is the best, but really he is wonderful. Oh yeah and he is about to have a B-Day on Feb. 25th. Yes, yes that is right I am older than him. I did rob the cradle but not by much. LOL he is going to love that I said that. I'm actually only like a few months older than him. On to why I think he is the best. I got the best Valentine's Day present from him. I have begged and I mean begged for a diamond band. I kept getting the "we are building a house, "we are saving for a furniture,"on our 1 year anniversary...lol that didnt happen. Well needless to say he said or I kept imagining each holiday he would surprise me and I would get it. He did surprise me on V-Day night. I cried it felt like I was engaged again. I don't know if any of your husbands/boyfriends are like mine but he doesnt like giving flowers on V-Day. He says they are to expensive and how he doesnt like being forced to show his love or how much he gives. Anyways, needless to say I didn't get any flowers but he did take me to my absolute favorite place to eat sushi. By the way, I am addicted to sushi and could eat it almost every meal. We even have looked it up to see how wo do it ourselves. Back to my story, later that night he kissed me and said ok I did get you one flower and handed me a flower, I thought oh how sweet, oh yeah did I mention it was a fake flower that you can put things in. You see where I'm going with this. Well, I though he is to sweet, and then I asked him if there was something inside of it and he told me candy. Me being the sweet tooth that I am thought "I wonder what kind of candy" so I opened it up and there it was my new wedding band. It is absolutely perfect and looks beautiful with my wedding ring. This isn't the only reason why I have the best husband on the planet but one of the reason why I want to shed some light on him

Ok I gotta go lay down, I'm thinking I might just have to go the doctor.

Paranoid Person

Okay so I'm not the best person to have one of these sites. Bradley and I ride to and from work together most of the time, so occasionally I may stay up at the school till 5:30. Anyways, that is when I usually get a chance to post something new, if not after school then sometime late at night, like right now. Back to the point of why I titled it "Paranoid Person," so I was looking at my site and my full time helper saw my name and picture of Bradley and I. She became livid and went on a rampage about how dangerous this was and is and how our picture was on the net and how I have to much information listed. In her defense, I do realize that I did not need to put my town and that I needed to sensor how much personal info I put out. So I have changed a few things, nothing really big and you probably will not even noticed but for my sake it will make me feel a little bit better. After she gets mad at me, she then feels the need to include a few other teachers and helpers in on our little fight (only word I could think of). One teacher even said "there are perverts out there who could have something for women named "kristin" who live in Louisiana, so I got to thinkin; I don't want a pervert dangerous person to know who I am. Now can you see where the paranoia comes in at? My only defense was that it helps me keep up with people I havent talked to in a long time. Then all the others said why dont you just email them. My response was it has been so long and I just like knowing who married who, what they are up to now, and if they have a family. After I said this another helper died out laughing and said you must also want to know "how much money they make," "exact location," and "see how well they are doing." This is not true at all and by this time I was getting very upset and have no support or backing to help me out. No no, I take that back one teacher said" I can see your side and I can see her side about how there are scary people out there." So how safe is this site and should I worry? Bradley tells me not to worry about it so what do you think?

Thanks for all the input about t.v shows, now I know whose loyal. I can't wait for this coming episode on Grey's Anatomy and I just wish Meredith and Dr. McDreamy would hook up again!! My sister decided to take the job in Texarkana, woo hoo for her! Again I am so proud of her and think she is absolutely wonderful. If anyone has any single, handsome Christian male friends who live near Texarkana or in the vicinity hook a sister up. Actually, my sister would absolutely kill me if she knew I had just asked that, she is so not the type to think that was funny.

By the way, I cannot wait for summer to get here. This year has been a killer for me and it has almost reached the point of not enjoying my job anymore. I don't like that feeling at all, I love the school I am at and everyone at my school is incredible. It has just been an exhausting and overwhelming year for me.
