...ups...and...downs...

The past few days have been a mishmash of energy, emotions, and health...

Good:
Fitting into a size smaller pants than I have been wearing despite the fact that I'm more bloated than a puffer fish.

Bad:
I'm more bloated than a puffer fish.

Good:
The holiday weekend weather was GORGEOUS!

Bad:
I spent the better portion of the holiday weekend sleeping/ill/weak in bed (including wonderful dry heaves this morning right before work)--the Dr. appointment is just around the corner.

Good:
The newest Becker family member is about to enter this world.

Bad:
A beloved member of Michelle's family just left it way too soon and unexpectedly.

Good:
I got a digital camera (thanks Alice!) and suitcase (thanks Tuesday Morning & Samsonite) for my trip to Greece.

Bad:
I went on a PMS shopping spree on Fri and bought stuff I don't need, but wanted--and in the process spent too much wampum.

Good:
I was able to drag myself outta bed and fake health long enough to enjoy a cook-out at Beth and Tom's on Sunday. It was cool to meet their families (especially seeing Harper, and her twin cousins Paige and Paisley [all 1.5 yo, blonde-haired and blue-eyed] laughing and giggling non-stop) as well as to see Alice and Drew and their fun new toy.

Bad:
I only got 4 of the 9 loads of laundry that I needed to get done.

I'm still pooped. Here's hoping I can get my hinder back in gear here soon. It's a short work week, right?

PS - Happy Birthday wishes out to Ricola and to Jeremy!
