Weird Disease

I have nothing new to report.

Although it´s been rumored that I have indeed been infected with Morgellons disease.



Morgellons: A Strange New Skin Disease?What can you tell me about Morgellons disease? A friend claims to have it, and it sounds pretty weird.

Morgellons disease is a diagnosis that has been adopted by clusters of patients in the South and in California as an explanation for a constellation of symptoms including slow healing sores, joint pain, persistent fatigue and a sensation of things crawling through the skin. I don't know what these symptoms actually add up to, but I can tell you that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is launching an investigation. CDC researchers will conduct physical and psychological evaluations of people who say they're affected and will also look into environmental factors that might be involved. CDC spokesman Dan Rutz told me that at the present time there's no reason to think that the symptoms are infectious or contagious.

Can you believe that?

Me neither! Cuz I just made it all up!! HAHA That´s how bored I am.

Actually the rash or weird skin thing is going away. I was able to go to the gym after being out of commission for a week so that was nice.

Peace!

Spanish Ceremony

Saturday was fantastic. Not cool getting hair and make up done at 8 in the morning, but hey..anything for love. We met the photographer in the center around 11 and it was awesome! I felt like such a hollywood superstar. EVERYONE was taking pictures of us and videotaping us. I must admit, I loved it!! I wanted to just walk around all day in the center. It really was like in the scene of a movie.

We had the party in a small pueblo about an hour and a half from here since that´s where A´s mom is from. There were about 115 people there and we ate for five hours. Then, we partied like there was no tomorrow. I had to forget that I was sick and that my chest hurt so I drank...six vodka tonics. EXCELLENT! We the proceeded to walk around the town and go into random bars. I was that girl with my wedding dress on..in a bar. Fantastic fun!!

pics to come..

sickling

I am a sick little puppy. It all started Friday. I have this weird pain in my chest. It´s muscular and it´s happened before..it´s close to my heart. So, basically every time I breathe it feels like someone is stabbing me in the chest. It´s really fun. Like I said, I´ve had this before but never for this long period of time. It usually last a few hours. This has been DAYS.

Also, I got felt up by an 80 year old man today. Granted he was the doctor, but still weird having a gramps touch your boob. Also on Friday I broke out in hives..again. I have no idea why this happens to me only in Spain but it´s never happend in IN..ever. It´s super weird and it´s only on my chest and the back of my arms this time instead of my whole body. Even the doctor that touched my boob doesn´t know what it is. Sweet. I´m probably going to die. Here is a pic.

A.M. Blues

I am not a morning person. Never have been never will be. I think I am traumatized after my middle school and high school years. Who starts class at 725 am? My brain isn´t even alive at that hour. And living in the boonies I was on the bus at 615. At any rate, when I had to get up at 630 this morning I was not happy. There is nothing more annoying than the sound of a human voice in the a.m. Don´t talk to me! I had to get up that early because I had to stand in line to get a number.......which in the end didn´t even matter. So basically what I´m telling you is I got up. Early. For nothing.

I still don´t have my papers and have been to six places and everyone tells me to go somewhere different. My ears are starting to itch...actually burn with FURY! See that smoke??

good times

I had a job interview today. We´ll see how that goes.

It´s time to sign up for Sevillanas again. I don´t think I´m going to do it. I saw a lady from my class in the street today and she said, ¨You look fatter.¨ Not ¨Hi, how are you doing?!¨ ¨Congrats on the wedding!¨ Nope, just straight to business.

I didn´t eat lunch today.

funny

When I was born, I was BLACK , When I grew up, I was BLACK , When I went in the sun, I stayed BLACK, When I got cold, I was BLACK , When I was scared, I was BLACK , When I was sick, I was BLACK , And when I die, I'll still be BLACK .

NOW, You "white" folks.... When you're born, you're PINK, When you grow-up, you're WHITE , When you go in the sun, you get RED, When you're cold, you turn BLUE, When you're scared, you're YELLOW, When you get sick, you're GREEN, When you bruise, you turn PURPLE , And when you die, you look GRAY. So who y'all callin' C O L O R E D folks?

mail call

(katie, you KNOW that was lunkers)

so, today was a BIG mail day for me!

First of all, I got the pics I ordered from snapfish a gazillion yrs. ago. A.K.A. 3 weeks. It said something about Switzerland on the envelope? Not sure what that´s about! Thank goodness they arrived safe and sound!

I also got a card from my mother. Thanks mom.

But, the big one....my papers from the embassy in Chicago!!!!! (Angels singing) We now have our libro de familia...which is like a marriage cert. here in Spain. I am going to take a pic of it later because it´s so beautiful! I do have one more small hoop to get through, but in about a week or two I should be getting a little card that looks like a drivers license and THAT my friends is like...heaven on earth.

a few more

more weddings pics from a diff cam

no people

that´s not really my tattoo! honestly do u think i would do something like that??????????????

that is way too painful.

I feel so bad for this lady.

eek!

So, I just got back from the gym.

I was on the treadmill and I saw a mouse run by. Nice. That is one motivator to make a person run faster. Maybe that is my gyms tactic, to buy mice, let them run free, and then have all chaos break loose. I actually didn´t scream. I was just..surprised. Like, did I really just see a mouse??

I actually finished working out and told some people in the office nonchalantly, ¨Oh, by the way, I saw a mouse.¨ I think it might be dead. Oops.

Gasp!

Last night was the first cockroach sighting in our new home. WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!

tat!

i decided to get a new tattoo. i hope u all enjoy it. ............HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dog fight!

Today is our one mth. anniv. Whew. We survived one mth. Isn´t that a record or something? Don´t most people get divorced right after their honeymoon...ha

Also, I´d like to remember all of those whose lives were taken six years ago today....

The reason for my depression was because I missed the wedding of the ages on Sat. EVERYONE and their mother was there but me. Hear that noise? It´s a violin. ¨Would you like some cheese with that whine?¨ Ok, I´m over it.........

What a disastrous day in the park with the Chiqui yesterday!!!!!!!! We went to the same doggie park as always and I hadn´t taken her there for ages. I was thinking what a stud she was and instantly she had five boyfriends..smelling her butt. She was proudly prouncing around and I kid you not there were six other dogs following her. So, I was letting her do her thing and about two seconds later I turn around and see and hear these two dogs growling and biting each other. Ya, it was the Chiqui with a cocker spaniel!!!! I honestly think she got tired of him licking her butt hole. I mean, that would get kind of aggrivating don´t u think?

So, what do u do at that moment?

I realize I am the owner and have to do SOMETHING (meanwhile the whole park is staring at me and the owner of the cocker is screaming, your dog is killing my dog!)

CRAP!

So when I see angry dog teeth I really don´t want to reach my hands in that mess. So, she whips her dog up by the collar and I swear it was like he was flying through the air like a little fairy: I couldn´t help but laugh. Thank God the owner wasnt even mad..it could have been a lot worse. Uh, I think we have to put a muzzle on the Chiqui again.

That´s what they get for messing with my dogs hole. Word.

:(

I´m depressed. Just thought I´d let u know.

Bug Off!

Have you ever gotten into a fight with a bug? I have on several occassions and last night was one of those 0ccassions. I usually get in fights with spiders or mosquitos...and or flies. It´s weird because when I see bugs in my home I get so ridiculously angry. I know, it´s weird.

I was sitting on the toilet in my bathroom and I heard this zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound. It was a mosquito!!!! Instantly the rage started to boil within. HOW DARE YOU enter into my home, buzz around here, bite my flesh, suck my blood and make me insanely miserable for days while I itch the poison that you have left inside. Oh no siree, not tonight Mr. (as the eyes were bulging out of my head).

So, round 1 was me trying to squish it with a kleenex. DANG it flew to the ceiling. Too high. Round 2 was me throwing a kleenex ball at it so it would fly back down. Round 3 was it flying around, me hearing that horrible zzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound and having no idea where it went. Round 4 was me almost giving up and then spotting the S.O.....isn´t it a lovely day? So, I found him and just looked at it for a sec. Then I whipped the hand towel at him so hard I probably almost broke the wood door. There he was......dead, just the way i like it.

bird lovin

i was so excited to bring our bird harrison ford home. he was born in the campo and we basically saved his life. he was the size of a small pebble and we fed him and now he´s beautiful and big. when i left for IN he was so so so tiny but i knew he would pull through. so, antonio´s cousin has been watching him while we were gone and we went to pick him up last night. since we hand fed him he is a bird that will not fly away ..it´s basically like a dog. so, i was picking him up to get him out of his cage and he bit my finger so hard that it started to bleed. you know, the top part of the finger that is very sensitive. i wanted to rip his little neck off like they did on dumb and dumber but instead i just flung him against the wall and broke his neck that way. well, in my mind that´s what i did but in reality i just put him back in his cage and cussed right at his face..so THERE harrison ford. take that!

hola

Well, our place is finally starting to come together. No kitchen or bathroom quite yet, but at least I have a bed and a TV. That´s really all a person needs.

The entire top half of my buttox region is black. No, not because it´s dirty, because it´s bruised. Ya, falling down the stairs was not fun. I don´t reccomend it.

Went to the gym today. It feels good to have some sort of routine. Going on a honeymoon is a sure way to gain fifty lbs. Ok, maybe 49.5.

I´m waiting to get my paperwork so we´ll see if I get lucky and find a job somewhere out there!!!

Sum up 1

Wow, what an amazing summer it´s been. I had a great time at the gazillion weddings that I went to and esp. mine..ha! We had fun in Puerto Rico and it was so fun to see so many different parts of the island. We went to the zoo, rainforest, caves, snorkeling, you name it, we did it! Nothing too weird happened on that trip...which is good. The hurricane just missed the island...whew.

We had a few days to kill in IN and Chicago so you know that was fun. Especially in Chicago when we were on Mich Ave walking through a very crowded plaza and something very embarrassing fell out of my purse in front of everyone. Good times.

A´s family just told us this story--
Antonio´s family went into a shop and his dad was holding some shirts under his armpit. There was a huge bodyguard and his dad just walked out...and forgot about the shirts. So, he´s out there and then his bro comes out and sees the shirts! So, then they were like WHAT DO WE DO? And A´s brother told him to just run. So he ran...Hilarity. Spaniards run free in Chi town.

We are now back in Seville and enjoying having our own place. Our kitchen and bathroom are not finished yet but they will be before 2009.......or in a few weeks. ..or mths, or years. Who knows? It´s Spain. Moving is about as much fun as going to the dentist to get a root canal. I would actually choose that over moving. My favorite part of moving is when I fell down the stairs this morning carrying a box and broke my freaking tail bone. What a good way to meet all of the neighbors. They come out when they hear a boom and a grown woman crying like a two day old baby. Gotta loveit!!!!!!!!!!!!
