I caught the Egyptian Flu...

For those of you who haven't heard or made the assumption already, I've got the Egyptian Flu.


***

And for those of you who don't know what the Egyptian Flu is, here are some of the common symptoms:

* nausea
* tiredness
* moodiness
* urge to eat food for more than just yourself...leading to
* weight gain
* random cravings (including pickles)
* near the end of the flu, you begin to develop a waddle in your walk
* the weight gain is centralized in the tummy, making it look like you've got a basketball inside
* it lasts approximately 9 months and at the end, you become a MUMMY! :0)

So, I should be over my "flu" March 2nd. Fortunately, I don't experience the nausea or crazy pickle cravings.

Oh, and I'm still working on the blog post for our PEI trip. Too many pictures to show and explain. I WILL get it done though, I promise...just not this week. I've got choir starting tomorrow.

I just read your comments--we can totally do a clothes swap! Two wardrobes for the price of one :) Funny that you mention how you almost died on the alpine slides (it wasn't "cool" to use the brake when I went) because I had a bad crash and burn once and still have some scars (and that was in 8th grade!). I want to hear your full story sometime. And even if this is my second comment here...CONGRATS!!! so exciting :)
