Summer Illness Sucks

Brian and I are sick. I'm sure it's from the drastic temperature changes we underwent going from home, to Montana, to back home. High in Glacier: 70. High in Lawrence: 93. Plus probably being on airplanes with nasty, germy people. I started feeling sick the day after we got back. Sore throat, headache, stuffy nose. Brian was feeling it yesterday. I'm doing a little better today, but Brian is worse. We've layed around all day and done practically nothing. I managed to get a little cleaning done. We are having people over tomorrow and I was not comfortable with having friends in our house in it's current state. I made some brownies using AB's cocoa brownie recipe. They turned out pretty good and will be gone before tomorrow I'm sure. I have had 2 and Brian has had a bite pretty much every time he's entered the kitchen. So yeah. They're half gone.

I'm hoping we're both feeling better by tomorrow. I want to hit up the farmer's market in the morning and get some yummy, fresh goodies to cook with next week. On a related not I also really want to go get our plants back. A friend of Brian's from work watched them for us while we are on vacation. We were going to get them sooner, but we got sick. I miss my tomatoes, peppers, onions and spices. I feel like a neglectful plant mother. I'm hoping we can do that tomorrow as well. I would also like to run to Walmart and get some things for my classroom. I really need some clear plastic tubs to use to organize my classroom library. They also have some great dorm stuff right now I would like to get for my reading area. Cool, fuzzy colored rugs and pillows and bean bag chairs. Starting next week I will be hitting it hard getting ready for the year. Working on my room, orientations, meetings and such.

Tomorrow evening we are having friends from KC over for a pre-engagement party, party. We're planning on going out to The Sandbar to celebrate. I also messaged some of my girls to see if they would come. I hope they do. I haven't seen them in forever and I miss them. Plus I want to show my ring off. ;o)

A couple of our boxes came back today! We shipped our camping gear to our friend Brett in Montana before our trip and shipped it back to ourselves when we left. One of the boxes contained a really cool Glacier National Park poster we bought while we were there. Luckily it was one of the boxes that came today! Here's a picture of it hanging on our living room wall. I think it looks great!
