Disaster

     So today is not my typical "happy it's Friday" day! It all started today when I woke up... I didn't wake up!!! My puppy must have knocked my phone (I use my phone as my alarm, who has an actual alarm clock anymore!? Maybe I should invest in one after this, hmph!) to the floor some time in the night or stepped on it, b/c my alarm didn't go off and I didn't wake up! I'm not sure *what* woke me up, but I looked outside and saw how bright it was and *knew* it had to be later than what I was supposed to be waking up! Sure enough, 8:40am!!! I'm supposed to wake up about 7:30!!! Ahhh!!!

     Not only did I not wake up on time, I also got a bloody nose out of the middle of no where (gross and not fun, I know =/). So that kept me held up even longer. I finally got to work.... an hour late. Really bummed, I have been on time, every day, for almost 2 weeks now. Fail.

     Speaking of disaster, I watched the Illinois/Indiana basketball game last night with Mitch (and the dogs=). I don't even know what to say. I think I will forever be a Tisdale fan, but wow, really?! Although I believe he made *every* free throw! He made some good 3pt shots! We won't mention the mistakes he made =) haha. The game was definitely a disaster. There is NO reason we should have let that game go and lost. None!  Indiana is a really crappy team. This was the first top ranked team they played that they won. What does that say about us?! I *know* coach (Bruce Webber) is miffed at the least. Mind boggling. We had so many chances to take the lead and blow them out of the water with no chance of a win. I remember looking at one point and thinking how tired our guys looked. They need some boot camp training! Out of breath over Indiana!? What a sad day!

     Back to today... I'm still not feeling so well. Thank GOD for coffee! I think that is the only way I am going to pull through today. Might need more than one!

     I'm excited because I have been in therapy for my back for almost 2 months now (maybe it's been a little longer), and today I am getting an hour long therapeutic massage. Yah, can't wait!!!

Out of my norm

     It's Tuesday night. Normally I blog at work, but I thought I would take some time out of my "free time" and blog... do something out of my norm. I like to change things up!

      I have been sick now/feeling really crappy for going on a week and a half. It's really irritating and frustrating to feel so bad and not have a reason why. I always want to know "why". I can imagine I was one of those kids when I was younger that would ask my mom/dad "why"... they explain to me and I respond with another "why". Haha. I have kind of been that way my whole life. I don't just want to know.. I want to know why as well, or it just doesn't make sense. As you can imagine I have had a lot of hard times in my life... not only because of the situation I was going through, but because I didn't have a "why". It's a continuous struggle!

     Since I have been feeling so sick I have had some time to watch some movies! Yeah for movies! I haven't fallen asleep in the last 3 I've watched!!! (if you are a close friend you will know why that's such a big deal! haha) I've seen "Black Swan", "Devil" and "Case 39". I don't want to write too much about all of these because I would be up all night writing and I need my beauty sleep! Let's just say "Black Swan" is a whole nother level of crazy ("f-ed up") movie! Wow, I didn't know what I was about to watch walking into the theatre that night! Granite I was with friends so it was all in fun! I'm glad I got to hang out with them, but could have gone with out seeing that movie lol. "Devil" was "OK". I wasn't really impressed. "Case 39" however I really liked! It kind of reminded me of "The Orphan" in some parts. It was really good though. It really gave me the chills and scared me at some points. It's worth watching if you like kind of creepy/scary movies.

     The IL game tonight was awesome!  They played against MI State (which I have come to like MI because that is where my sister and brother in law and family are from). They WON! Yeah! Final score was 71 to 62. There are conflicting stats stating what rank the teams are. (IL 23 and MI 17) Well at any rate they played really well and took the W; However I believe that they need to work on getting rebounds, not just defensively but offensively too! They lost many opportunities to raise the score by not rebounding! I have to say my favorite IL player is Tisdale!!! He seems to have his head in the game and loves the game and he's good!  Whoot Whoot to # 54!!! 

     On another note, I haven't made much progress on my book over the last week or so because of feeling so sick.. same with school. I hope that tomorrow things are going to take a turn for the better and I can get back on track and get some school done and write some more in my book.
