Have you ever had someone you find your blog? Someone that wasn't supposed to find it? Okay, I say that very lightly because obviously as bloggers we all know that your blog could be 'found' at anytime by anyone, especially if your friends and family know about it. I accept that, and really there isn't anyone I feel shouldn't see it, but when you think of certain people that won't see it... and then they do... yeah. It's not awkward, it's not embarrassing, it's a different type of emotion - am I alone here? All that to say, someone came across my blog, someone I didn't necessarily expect to come across it and it was surprising. Yes. Good word. Surprising. I also think that if you're not a blogger or a blog reader, it's hard to understand this thing we do called blogging. For me, it's a creative outlet. I love being able to share my creativity, style, DIY's, inspiration, etc. with you all. Just as I love to read other blogs for the same reasons. The blogging community was something completely foreign to me over a year ago, and now it's this fantastic thing that I'm a part of, and it feels so great. It's like a great place to go to daydream, express yourself, vent, gather inspiration and make friends. With that said, thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you who reads (and comments) and to those who come back regularly. You make this so much better and I love being here.

...this track. Morning, noon and night. (It's becoming an obsession, really).
Just a few new additions to the room. These arrived while I was in Florida, so sadly I haven't worn them yet. C'mon summer, I wanna wear these sandals. As far as the wedges go, I'm planning a DIY for them and have already ordered the supplies, so stay tuned.
Must be something about those back zippers...
These don't seem to be available in nude anymore but I did find them here in smaller sizes
Husband and I went on a lil' date the other night to a new place we'd never been to (thanks for the recommendation LM) and loved it. We got dolled up, didn't have a reservation (they don't take 'em between 6pm and 8pm) and were seated pretty quickly despite the restaurant being packed. (I actually think they made a table for us while we waited - how's that for service?). The food was delicious and we had a fantastic time. I pretended it was my 'birthday dinner' since hubs picked up the tab (love that) but still had to be the DD and get us home. Ha.

So I've been keeping a bit of a secret: I've been sick for the past week. I know, I know, I've kept up the charade of being fine... er, well, online at least... in person, not so much. You see, last Monday I woke up feeling crappy; sore throat, headache, you know the symptoms. Despite feeling this way, I headed to work as it wasn't awful and no need to take a sick day.
The following Tuesday, I felt worse, much worse, but again went to work. Talking hurt my throat, my head was ridiculously congested and I felt like a ton of bricks were inside my head. Sheesh. My boss noticed and sent me home at noon. I stopped at Walmart on my way home to get something, anything that would combat this cold. I picked up Buckley's Cold & Sinus tablets. I'd never tried them before but figured I had nothing to lose. After spending the afternoon in bed, resting (watching tv, surfing the 'net on my laptop and being relatively bored), I was starting to feel better. By dinner time my sore throat was almost extinct and I'd turned into a Buckley's lover overnight... er... within hours.
I woke up Wednesday ready to face the day and headed into work. Still taking the meds, it relieved my sinus congested, my throat was tolerable and I felt like I was on the mend. Turns out, not so much. This is where it gets worse: that night I woke up at 3am to let the dog out. While waiting for her to come in, I started feeling super nauseous and immediately started sweating (like, buckets). I brought the dog in and ran to the bathroom where nothing happened except I continued to feel horrible. I quickly tried to make my way to bed and passed out in the hallway. This has never happened to me before and I was only out for a few seconds, but, whoa. Hubs immediately came to the rescue and eventually helped me to bed.
The next morning I got up, and you guessed it, was ready to head into work, but started to feel those symptoms wash over me. I quickly got back into bed and it eventually subsided. I called in sick and went to the Doctor later that day. She told me it could have been the meds or the virus itself (also, I don't take a lot of meds, ever, so my body could have been in shock from it), but the symptoms I had (nausea and sweating) are common signs you are about to faint and if you experience them, you should lie down immediately, wherever you are (note to self).
I stayed home Friday as well and am still not fully recovered. I went back to work yesterday and felt better-ish but started feeling awful in the afternoon. I'm definitely on the mend, but this damn cold is running a lot longer of a course than I'm used to. So now ya know. Have any of you ever had a really bad sinus cold?
Husband took these photos the other night after our date and it was fa-reeeezing. We made it work though by taking a page from Jentine's book and throwing on the high-beams and creating a midnight photoshoot.
