tired and such

Well hello to whoever still reads this blog. I have really really really been wanting to talk to someone lately. And it seems that I cannot find the words to say, or I say too much, or whoever I get a hold of can't talk long. So I thought I would update my blog. I have been really tired lately from lack of sleeping. And I have been sick a lot lately. So the two of these combined usually doesn't make me want to blog for some reason. I am actually sick right now, a headcold. I saw my new doctor for the first time today, but not for the headcold. I saw her for a normal checkup and to pretty much just meet her. I also explained to her all the health problems I am having lately with not being able to have milk, soy milk, or rice milk. And the issues that I have if I do have any of those. So she referred me to their Allergy Specialist whom I am going to see tomorrow at 3pm! I get to have lots and lots of needles stuck into my lower and upper arms for up to a couple of hours, I am so so excited! But seriously I am excited to finally have the test done and taken care of. Now I can know for sure what I am allergic to. And maybe I can start feeling relatively normal :) That would be mighty nice. All of my Christmas cards are finished and in their envelopes with a photo of Jake and I in each one! All that's left is to personalize each one with who it is going to and address the envelopes. I'm so happy to have those finished and ready for me. I have also finished my best friends Christmas gift, and my cousin's Christmas gift. Next is my mom's... But I haven't even started that one yet. I need to wait until I get paid again so that I can finish buying things for it. Yesterday I completely cleaned our room. Every nook and cranny. It looks the nicest it has looked since we moved in! I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for doing it. Now if only I could get my phone to stop having issues with me! I think its going to crash here pretty soon. And I am NOT looking forward to that. I mean, it will be nice to have a new phone. But this one isn't even that old, just over a year. So I will most likely get the newer version iPhone which will be nice, it is cheaper to purchase, but the monthly plan in more expensive :( So I don't know... I haven't been doing TOO much scrapbooking lately because of the Christmas things, and because of being sick. But I did make two pages for my 8x8 album, that was fun :) Not much else is going on. We had a really great Harvest Dinner at our church. I helped prepare for that. I was at the church getting things ready for four days before hand. But it turned out looking (and tasting) so so great! Want to see some photos of the whole thing? OK! heehee...
