Latest Obsessions

Sitting here in lovely Park City... Sun shining, light mountain breeze... In my element, minus the sinus allergies. Yuck.  But won't let that hold me back.  So thankful to be here relaxing.

Just thinking about what is jazzing me up these days.  One again, very random- my obsessions these days:

The most amazing carmalized brussel sprouts from Ciao Bella in Minneapolis.

Just as amazing baked Brie from Purple in Seattle.

Trying unique ways to holistically control sinus allergies- warm, wet compressions on my sinuses, neti pot, steam.... This on top of Allegra D recommended by the doc. Help!

Trying colors other than red or pink shades on my toes- sporting some sort of OPI salmon-peach version right now. Pretty!

Peach and nectarine season- yummy! Love my fruit.

The film "The Bling Ring"- cant way to see it! Especially since Gavin Rossdale is in it! Wow.

Stupid, but fun movies to watch on Lifetime as Summer begins... Jodi Arias story... Anna Nicole Smith story... Ha! Yes they will be DVR'd.

My new Urban Decay "Baked" eye shadow palette recommended by girlfriend Rachel- I can't decide what color to use each day- oh decisions....

We will stick with that for today. Fun obsessions. Keeping it light on a Saturday. Cheers.

What You Can Do When You Don't Leave The House

Day 2 of staying home to get healthy... I am definitely not very good at it.

Good news:
Sleep, couch time, meds
Bad news:
I'm a Type A personality who cannot sit still and I am going insane (kinda)

Trying to relax... But getting stuff done too.
What else can a girl do at home besides watch TV, read, sleep and day dream!?

Well, here it is:
Send cards
Order gifts on the Internet
Do a home facial (interestingly enough, also serves as a medical treatment with the steam to help me breath better)
Wash sheets (again, medical treatment to rid of bed mites & germs)
Make plans for the summer
File nails
Send emails
Wash dishes
Take a hot shower (again with the medical focus)
Organize pot & pans (ok, I'm grasping here...)

What else is a girl to do? House is clean. Laundry is done. All closets are organized. Did I mention that in addition to Type A, I am also a bit obsessive compulsive.... For a very organized woman, being lazy is very difficult.

Oh - and I cannot exercise while sick. Drat.
Ok, enough. Back to cheesy Sunday TV.

Sitting Home Sick

I'm not a bad sick person... But I'm not a good sick person either. I know rest is best, but it's hard. Even when I don't feel well.  Ugh.  I have had a cold/cough/bronchial virus/ear infection for over 10 days now. On day 5 of antibiotics. Yuck.  Just want to get better. In the meantime...

Had fun in Minnesota seeing Grandma, the folks and many friends.  Work meetings in MN are always good for that. Dinners out, drinks, exercise with friends.... Much accomplished this past May trip. Thanks MN peeps!

Last weekend I was invited to go sailing with my friend Jen. Fun! Even better when you just get to enjoy and not have to do any work. :) Makes me fall in love with San Francisco even more! Thanks Jen!

Was supposed to head to Reno this weekend for fun and grad party with Vanessa & Rudy, but this darn illness set me back. Bummer. I guess I will have to wait for my trip to NYC with Vanessa in September! Yeah!

For now, rest, relaxation, and TV. That is what is planned for the next 2 days. Will be hard, but ready to give it a shot... Thanks for the help, Comcast & Netflix.
