Coffee Date Friday

Hello friends!

I tried desperately to upload a video I took today but it does not seem to be working :(
So this post will have to be written instead, and maybe I will give it another try next week and hopefully figure out what I did wrong. I can upload directly from my web cam but that would be re doing the whole thing and I felt awkward enough the first time!

So this post was inspired by a weekly link up over at Rags to Stitches; I came across it a little while back and thought it would be a fun idea.

So if we were having coffee today I would tell you how much I have missed you! I have been away for so long and I really did not mean for it to be like that. I am feeling much better, there is still bad days every now and then but my mood has improved greatly with the change in weather.

If we were having coffee today you would have to excuse my appearance; I am wearing over sized sweat pants and Hubby's oversized blue Italia hoody. It is raining today and I wanted to be comfy, plus the blue sweater really brings out my eyes ;)

You would have to excuse my coughing, I promise I won't make you sick. I have horrible spring time allergies, my eyes itch, my nose is either stuffy or runny, and my throat is so raw and itchy that when I breathe in sometimes I can not help but have a coughing fit. It is horrible and I can not wait for this to pass. I was reading in the newspaper the other day that right now people in our area are suffering twice as bad, something to do with the pollens and trees budding... something is happening early and something later so BAM twice as bad for us unfortunate suckers who have tree, grass and pollen allergies (pointing my finger right in my own face).

If we were having coffee I would tell you all about my new laptop I bought today! I am pretty excited, it has been a while since I have had a laptop and while I have my iphone and ipad in addition to that dinosaur desk top they are all limited in their own ways when it comes to blogging and other things. My laptop is a combo gift, mothers day/birthday gift for me.

I would have had the new laptop a few weeks ago but MV was really sick the Mother's day weekend. We spent the weekend in and out of the hospital, he was having trouble breathing and his exact diagnosis was never determined. Pneumonia, bronchitis, adenovirus and respiratory virus were all mentioned but after two chest x rays they didn't know for sure and luckily he started to get better. They gave him an inhaler and baby sized aerochamber and whenever he gets sick he will probably need it again.

That's right, my birthday is coming. Next week to be exact. I am turning twenty nine... that's almost thirty... I remember having a nervous breakdown when I turned twenty five and that feeling so old.

If we were having coffee I would tell you that so much has happened that I couldn't possibly recap it all in the detail you would want, so I will have to tell you spread out over a few different posts. I would tell you I have missed blogging and plan on getting on here more regularly. I would ask you if there are any good bloggers you could recommend? I am always looking for new friends.

I would also tell you that I have plans to revamp my blog again, I am still undecided as to how much of a makeover I will be doing but changes are on the horizon.

And just as I would have to if we were having coffee for real I would have to excuse myself now because MV needs me.

I will be back soon!
