decade of rad

this shouldn't surprise you but i went to a rocking surprise party the other night. it was for this lovely lady, patti. happy birthday patilda.

guess what? it wasn't just any party, it was an EIGHTIES PARTY!!! and some of us got totally decked out! here is tim, cubbie (doesn't she look like an 80's teacher?), jim, me, darci and sara.

after patti got surprised, she took a little time to get in her 80's get up. she looked fab-totally rad.

jimmy looked awesome in his 80's outfit without even trying.

then.....the dancing started. here are the nelson siblings. cubbie, jim and darci (doing the running man)
darci has the sweetest 80's dance moves of anyone i have ever met in all my days.
there was even some slow dancing. total eclipse of the heart and forever young. tres romantic.

i like the hand placement in this picture and the slight pelvic thrust. go get em, mark. looks like he has a thing for 80's teachers.

besides, hot clothes, sweet makeup, banana clips, pegged pants and totally tubular dance moves, there was also a real live working ATARI!!!and a rubiks cube cake. i heart the 80's.

happy birthday patti!

conferencing

this shouldn't surprise you but i have not done much blogworthy lately unless you call sleeping and staying in my pajamas for weeks blogworthy. so i will try to make up things to blog about even though they seem lame because i was lame for like a month. well i am happy to report that i am feeling MUCH better and don't think i will be dying anytime soon so things are looking up. so since i was bedridden for weeks, i would beg mark to take me to his house so i could see other scenery besides my bedroom and he obliged because he is kind like that. so my house and marks were about all i would see but on saturday and sunday the 5th and 6th, i went to darci's for general conference and breakfast lunch and dinner. it was nice to see people and especially nice to see general conference.

mitch, mei li, cubbie (in sweet muu muu), dave and darci eating (which it seems is almost all we did on sunday)
mei li and jim hemming pants
mary and courtney-totally watching conference
courtney and mary should have taken lessons from ben and maryann dutifully taking notes and not dozing. good kids. i love general conference time, even when i feel lousy, there is always something that makes me feel so great.

stoned

this shouldn't surprise you but i am sick again and not with mono. I am one lucky girl. so you all get to hear about it. on friday night i woke up with horrible pains in the middle of the night. i as up for a long time and then i finally got them under control and went back to sleep. all weekend i felt a little sicky but not too bad and then monday morning the pain was back something fierce. i knew something was not right so i called into work and made an appointment with my doctor. she thought i might have a ruptured cyst so i went on my way to get a sonogram with some heavy pain pills. after the sonogram, i took the pain pills and then the pain came back with a vengeance right when mark got home from work and i said, we need to go to the hospital. so off we went to the er and i was ushered in and out on some heavier pain pills that did the trick while they tried to figure out what was wrong with me. turns out, i have kidney stones!! what the? they are awful!!! so i stayed in the er for a good 6 hour and had various tests and then was sent home around 11. well around 2 am, i was in the worst pain of my life so i called mark and he came over and off we went to the er again. i was barely coherent but i got some morphine and fell right to sleep and then around 6, they wanted to admit me but i asked if i could go home with some stronger pain pills and just take it easy at home and they let me. so i am recovering. mark is taking care of me and the pain pills are working (mostly). so if this makes no sense, it is because i am in a drug induced haze. so i will not be at work this week.. again. i swear i have never had this many things wrong with me and all in one month!!!! sucky. here are some super pretty pictures from the er.

my sweetie with his hot new haircut. my view of him in the er. he is a good nurse!
