yeah...i am sick.

"The Tedward" was sick this passed weekend...and i felt so bad for him and stuff.

I tried to take care of him the best I could...
But when your guy has a piece of toilet paper that is 6 squares long...
With either end ejected into one of the nostrils...
With heavy wheezing going on...
It is hard to find the strength to want to snuggle him....youknowwhatimsayin'?
So I took care of him...and sort of neglected him.
What I am saying is, he didn't starve....he was still fed.
That was pretty much it.
Yah...I am a bad wife...geez...
You don't have to get all up in my bizness about it.
Anyway...so karma took it's course...


I am sick.
I am dying.
Even the blessed NETI POT has turned it's back on me.
Yes...I was soooo clogged in the nostril draining system, that the neti pot's magical powers were no match for the evil karma-sending germs that have taken over my poor, weak, immune system.
So...what I am saying is...here is a gayspice post for you...
Yep, gifting you with a gayspice post of not-so-mass proportions.
Your Welcome :)


1. the word swagger has been tickling my fancy.
Not like I know what a fancy is...but aparently it is a good thing to be tickled?
Anywho...I love hearing the word swagger...
Not like I knew what it meant until Wednesday night (thank you Urban Dictionary!)
But still...it is a beautiful word.
Ted told me I have "good swagga" yesterday.
That's why I love him.
And because he has good swagga too.
(the word has also been following me...check it out on KissFM's site today!)
2. made me scream and soil my pants at the same time...
At work they assign pictures to our desktops each day.
You can imagine the scene when I first layed eyes on this little baldy-creepster.
Umm...hi. Are you a cat? A hideous dog? A ferret? Voldemort, maybe?

3. the official announcement...
yep. i won. with this many votes:
46% (2347 votes)
So what does this mean? What will I do with my new found power?
Dominate the world of course.
Maybe add it to my resume?
Do you think that would impress important job people?
By the way...I love you all for voting :)

PS...if you want to chill with me and other bloggy friends in an awesome Meet-N-Greet, go here!PPS...yes, I am going to see "17 Again"...you know how much I love me some Zac Efron.

Lauren said...

That is a HUGE bummer you are sick! Dang Neti-pot, get workin!

2. Voldemort. Definately. Voldemort.

Jayci said...

I'm sorry you're SICK! And the Neti Pot not working... how horrible. I have the one where you squeeze it - so you can force it up through your nose. Sick, but it is awesome in clogged-drain-nose situations. CONGRATS on winning!! :) You're so famous with your swaggering swagga. It is a cool word. And that freaky voldemort cat... sick.

Swagger is a beyond wonderful word... swag however is a horrid word. :( Just sayin. And that cat is for sure Voldemort. :( Blah.

I thoroughly enjoyed today's blog.
Hope you are feel better quickly so that you can start dominating the world. :)

JustRandi said...

Yeah, that karma will getcha.

Next time busy yourself in the kitchen making soup and bread and what-not. Then you can be the happy loving caring wife with no karma scowling over your shoulder.

jackaroo1223 said...

congrats on the dazzle award! take that nasties who are rude!

i wish i had some awesome mythical secret to get rid of the sickness... but i don't other than maybe sleeping with a humidifier going and using vicks vaporub scents in it and rub it on your chest before bedtime. that always helped when i was a kid and would get super wicked nasty colds.

hope you feel better soon!!

Whitney said...

I'm sorry you're sick - feel better!!! I had a nasty cold/cough for over a month! Apparently it takes longer to get better when you're prego :P
Congratulations on winning, I had a feeling you would :D

Deanna Huber said...

I love reading your blog and your Edward post was so good! Congrats on the dazzle award!!

Kristina P. said...

Wow, congrats on the win! That's amazing!

Mauri said...

YaY girl! Congrats on winning! You rock! I knew you would because you're awesome like that. Um FEEL BETTER ASAP so we can see 17 Again this weekend!!

tharker said...

Sorry to hear you've both been sick. I truly think leaving the husband be while he's sick is the best treatment...except when he's whining because he can't reach the glass of water that is like 3 inches away from him on the bedside table. (speaking from experience)

I hope that cat's name is Voldy, cuz it looks seriously evil!

Congrats on your win!!

Char and Trent said...

Go see 17 Again.. It will make you feel so much better. You better believe that me and my friends went to the 12:01 show last night. Zac looks unbelievably makey-outey the whole time. I love him. Oh and are you still going to the Brit Spears concert? I begged and begged my hubs to let me go w u but he said I had to move to Oklahoma with him. lame.spice. When are we going garage selling?

Jen said...

1.Totally know what you mean about taking care of a sick hubby, sorry you're sick now.

2. I'm definitely going with Voldermort on that one.

3. Congrats on the Twilight award! I voted for you.

I also want to see 17 again, that kid is waaaay to young for me but I also love me some Zac Efron!

RatalieNose said...

Ummm I'm gonna have nightmares staring that hideous creature!

LeLe said...

Congrats on the award! And that cat is hideous. I've never heard of a company assigning desktop photos...hmmmm. That cat looks like a rat.

Feel better!

Katie said...

Feel better! I'm sending you virtual soup...which of course does almost no good, but the thought's there. ;)

Also, I kinda can't believe you subjected me to that picture of Voldemort. I feel like my soul is in danger just from looking at that picture.

Nancy Face said...

That cat is a Smeagol thing! :0

Malia said...

When I had my hives and they pumped me full of steroids, it got rid of my allergies. I'm not even kidding.
Maybe you should contract hives?

Yvonne said...

Cat is creepy.

wende said...

ok, you love zac efron too? i loved you for loving rob so much, but now you're officially my favorite person. i have a huge crush on zac, although he doesn't quite melt my butter like rob does but i will be the first to admit that he's the ONLY reason i watched the high school musical series.

ps that cat thing = creepy.

It's so yucky to be sick. Sorry to read it.

Hairless cat = ugly as sin

Yay you won. We know your the best so it's not really news to us readers.

I keep reading sick and nasty in the comments and sicknast keeps coming to my mind. ;)

Clint &amp; Alicia McLaws said...

Ugh...I'm sick too!! I'd considered investing in a Neti Pot...but if its not even helping you, maybe it'd be a pointless purchase. I'm pretty stuffy. I hope you feel better soon!! Not gonna lie...I hope I feel better soon too :p

Oh...and the...IT on your desktop? Most def Voldemort. It has to be.

and Congrats on your award!! =]

aubrey said...

Lyndsay said...

nate and amy crandell said...

Shane and Kelci said...

I can't tell you how hard i laughed and i might even have peed my pants when you called that monster voldemort. Simply brilliant!

Jess said...

Aw I'm sorry you're sick. I'm sure Tedward will be at your beck and call though, right?


Congrats on the Dazzle Award! You definitely deserve it!


And in regards to your Twitter x amount of days ago- Yes we read this blog too. ;)

Whitney said...

Dang Ted! Hope you feel better. I will forever have that creatures face burning in my head. Hope I dont have nightmares tonight.

Tori :) said...

I am not a good wife to a sick husband. I just wanna tell him "Yeah, well, I've grown 5 babies and birthed them. Get over it." (But I don't.)

Zac Gayfron + Adam Lambert = Looooove

Brett &amp; Emily soon to be Randall said...

Stu and Angie Milne said...

Lauren said...

Lauren exercises her infinite power by deleting comments. kthanxbye! :)

Kristina said...

No joke, I had to look up swagger in the UrbDic as well because I love saying it but wasn't entirely sure I knew the definition ;)

PS: it's kristina - girl with the boyfriend who has tedward curls

Hannahkin said...

Connie and Tony said...

FEEL BETTER! I still want to hang out. Cause ps I'm moving to oklahoma in 2 weeksish. I shant return until september.
How was the movie?! We were going to see that but it was sold out.
Congrats on winning! weee!

Mike and Chels said...

Don't feel too bad-I was a bad wife too after my hubbie had nose surgery. He was so dreary and every time I tried to help him he pretty much just told me to go away (I don't blame him, he was feeling really crappy) but I didn't know what to do so I just left all the time. But he didn't starve either, at least we can keep them alive, right? Its good to know I'm not the only one.

chelsea said...

Hi.
I don't know you, but i found Lauren's Bite through Facebook! I love both of your blogs. They always make me laugh and you are so creative with your posts and how you decorate your home! Well sorry you are sick and I think that freaky little bald thing crawled right out of a nightmare I once had.

-Chelsea

Alicia said...

happy you won,
zac is hot
that cat is not

Where in the world is Pocket Edward?? Is he still being held hostage? :(

I LOVE your blog, Lauren. And CONGRATS on winning Female Twilighter Dazzle Award! You deserve it! (Insert whoops hollars claps and whistles here)

:)

Suzanne said...

Contrats for winning the Top Female Blogger Award!!! You totally deserve it. What with your Edward card on my fridge and everything! ;)

I hope you are feeling better soon!

Chel said...

Feel better soon sweet Lauren! Being sick is no fun at all. It's been a long, long time for me... and I hope I didn't just jinx myself.

You're a doll! hugs!

P.S. my younger sister has a hairless cat. I know, I know...

Lula! said...

Are you feeling better?
Did you get to see Zac over the weekend?
The Neti Pot grosses me out.
I associate the word "swagger" with Sawyer. And now...you!

OK, enough of my randomness...
XOXO

little ms. sassy shelby said...

I knew you were going to win. Woohoo for Lauren! I hope you feel better.

Heffalump said...

Congratulations on your win! I hope you are feeling better now and that the sickness is fleeing your body!

Heather Perry said...

Congratulations, on he award! Sorry you are sick.

Jenn with Two N's said...

Feel better! My mother loves her neti pot, she swears by it. She told me I'm getting one for my birthday.

Swagga is quite possibly as wonderful a word as the phrse, "hot mess".

Congrats on winning the dazzle award! You deserve it.

Crissie said...

That icky sickness has already had me in it's grasp and I will tell you a secret... put a little peroxide in your netti pot. Yeah it burns like the dickens, but it kill the bad guy germs....just sayin'.

The Voldemort cat had me laughing hard! So gross it's almost cute!

Here's a big congrats on your winning the Top Female Twilighter Dazzle Award!!

LaNae said...

Russ and I are not big fans of complaining so we know when we get sick we have to be tough because neither one of us deals very well with it--seems to work!

Lauren said...

Um.. are you still sick. You haven't blogged for a while. Are you ok. I think I'm gonna have to come to Mesa and see if you are still alive!

No Cool Story said...

You can't die. You are TOP FEMALE TWILIGHTER of '09!

So stop it, k?

Pink Flip Flops said...

Hope you're feeling better! Too bad I can't make it to your bloggy get together. I won't be in town until the next weekend...

Shantel said...

Here is the link to it.
