so i have been sick since Sunday night, and i have been in a bad mood since then. and emotional. i did not know this about me, that i get so upset when i am truly sick. see i don't normally get fevers, in fact the last time i had one i went to the hospital, and i NEVER go there, for i do not care for the place much. so i really am not trained with dealing with fevers at all.
try to imagine me standing in Meijer, in my bright blue plaid pajamas, a hoody and NO MAKEUP! my eye lashes are falling off and i am crying (in public to boot! oh the shame!) all because i hurt! i went a two months on my mission with bronchitis without complaining and still did my work, i have twisted and pulled more ankles and muscles then i can count (this due to the my lack of grace) but yet i was standing in Meijer... crying.
i also balled out my parents, both of them had crossed me in a very evil way, or so i thought. and though they did do some hurtful stuff, it didn't warrant my yelling and crying (oh really, really, i hate crying) i understand now, that when i really really don't feel good, i am not a good person to cross. best to get some drugs in me and wait for them to kick in before trying to talk to me.
just so you know. :o)

dangit. :0(
there is no healing for this pain.

Christmas Pictures

Christmas at the Fulks house was the same as always, though we had two add-ons this year, but i liked it! So, this is our Christmas tree, i can't even start to tell you all the fights that broke out over this one, but let's just say i shop when i'm mad and now i am in debt.
Mom and Inga enjoying a little after dinner resting.
Paul and I under the mistletoe. my fam suggested the pose, i was hesitant but he seemed more than a happy to oblige, interesting eh?
no set of pictures are complete, unless... there is one of me taking a picture of myself.
Dad took this picture when i wasn't looking.
i took this one when they weren't looking. So we've got, Ann Marie and Paul on the piano and Britten looking on.
this is when Britten let me know that she knew i was taking pictures, and yes she is flipping me off! :o) My dear sisters never hold back, but you see the nice thing about having Paul there was that they knew that they couldn't swear, but it was always right under the surface! :o)
Now i've learned from Patrick that it is a good thing to take pictures of food, and i was really enjoying my steak so here is a shot of the yummiest steak ever. btw it's a tradition in my house that we have a steak dinner every Christmas. mine seems to get redder and redder every year. :o)
Us posing with Dad's collection of swords. he is holding the one we got him for Christmas!
us trying to eat with the swords, but it didn't work with me, mine was just too big, i guess i need more practise working with big swords.
a pretty Christmas table!
the other add-on that we had this Christmas was a dog that i am taking care of right now, his name is Seth, and he only has three legs!
and this is proof that a three legged doggie doesn't have to lift a leg to pee!


so all in all Christmas was pretty good! we got all the fighting out the day before, (and yes i went shopping afterwards) we got lot's of good presents, watched movies and ate way too much chocolate! it was good times!
so Merry Christmas from one Grinch to all of her friends where er' they may be!

My "You Tube" obession

so.... i haven't posted anything. at all. and i've just came back from Canada! you would think that i would tell you all about my trip and my close encounter with pouteen, or maybe i would write a blog about how my mother made me go shopping during a horrible snow storm, perhaps i could touch on the fact that i'm going to be a temple worker, really the list goes on and on! but NO! i have a problem! i watch You Tube at every moment i get. and if i am eating at home, it happens, i HAVE to eat in front of the computer. it's like my stomach can't digest the food unless i am near the computer, namely You Tube!
a month ago i didn't even know what it was! because, you know it was one of those things that got really big while i was on my mission, like texting, (i never did that either before the mish.) in fact when someone frist told me to "check it out on You Tube" i searched for it under "UTube" because that made sense to me. now, i am so addicted that i listen to music on it, i watch TV on it, i talk to my friends to find out what's cool to watch on you tube. i used to quote movies all the time, now... you tube. ("somebodys going get hurt" and "10 bucks" are my favs right now)
really this is bad, i have so much to do right now, i'm not even laughing i have so much to do, i have to make that purse for Ann, clean the house, clean my room, pick up the broken mirror... so much. but i felt the need to tell you all that yes, i have a problem. it's been 10 minutes since i last watched You Tube and i'll probably watch it one more time before i go to bed.
dangit.

so... i just got off the phone with my beloved cousins Derek and Brandon VanWormer, i haven't heard form them in YEARS... like 7 years. we (the whole family) lost track of Derek when he was a teenager. so we got to chatting about life and what we have been up to, i told him about the other cousins, Heidi and Sarah then about Ann Marie. it's strange to see how all of us have changed so much, it's like we were such a big part of each others world growing up and now we are all doing different things, and hardly ever talking to each other. part of me wishes i could just close my eyes and go back to that time when everything was perfect, or at least less complicated. we were all so much more innocent and ready for life. now look what life has done for us.

i love this stuff!!

ok, i really like both the songs and the both the music videos, but i really like the dancing in the 1st one and i really, really like the song in the 2nd one. though i must say sorry not for the bad word in the little clip in the 2nd video.

but i must say that this stuff makes you want to move... :o) me gusta!

Yesterday i had the most horrible headache in the world! i could not get rid of it, i tried the message chair, i tried Ruthie giving me a message and when all else failed i tried muscle relaxers. still nothing! i blame it on the horrible amount of sweets i ate yesterday. nevertheless, it hurt! but i went to bed a little early and woke up a little late today and the headache is gone. sometimes i think that pain is worth it so that we can experience the joy of release. like the anticipation of a long over due kiss, or being away from someone you adore, when it finally happens, it makes the pain of the wait worth while! :o)
