Poison of the Food Variety

It all started Friday night when I ate at a local restaurant.  All was well- it tasted great.  On Saturday I went to work.  I started feeling crampy around noon and but I didn't think anything of it.  However- when I took my lunch break at 2:30 I felt awful.  I ate lunch and then went to the bathroom.  It was at that moment I realized I had a problem.  After my lunch break I was still feeling ill but I went back to work like a good little worker bee.  About 45 minutes later I had to make another bathroom stop. This was not going to be good. This was a highly volatile situation and I was stuck in the middle of work.  I decided that in order to make it the rest of my shift I would just stand in one place and walk around as little as possible.  Within the course of 3 hours I made 3 stops to the bathroom each time feeling worse than the last.  At long last my shift ended!!!
Then I had dinner with a couple friends. At an Indian restaurant.  Because the best thing for someone in my situation is to eat spicy Indian food. Right. I took a bathroom break during our dinner and then drove myself home.  When I got home I took another bathroom break and then sat on the couch until it was time for another bathroom break.  Boy was I wiped out!
Then my family came home around 9:30. I said hello, that I didn't feel well, and that I was going to bed right then.  My mom really knew I wasn't feeling good because of that.  Me in bed at 9:30 on a Friday? Hasn't happened since I was 9. Anyway, I went downstairs, got ready for bed, took yet another bathroom break and went to bed.
I woke up Sunday morning early, early, early for you guessed it- another bathroom break! and then I went back to bed.  Then woke up again and did the same.  Repeat that 6 times and you have my morning.  I called in sick to work because I just didn't think that myself or the other bathroom users would appreciate me being there. I didn't eat anything cuz I was NOT adding fuel to that fire! I just laid in bed for a lot of the day trying not to rock the boat.
I am feeling much better now thank you- but my stomach is still a little shy and I won't be eating at that particular restaurant for awhile.
So now you know: if you tried to talk to me this weekend and I was cranky it is because I had other things on my mind.

Camera Shy

Baby Em is great.  He smiles and talks all the time. He is also: camera shy.  He is the happiest baby in the world until the camera comes out.  Then he just stares.  And sneezes.

Stare.

???

Half a smile! I'll take it!

Utter Concern

Bless you.

Catch

I was on the computer late one night when all of the sudden a pair of sock fell from nowhere and landed on the keyboard.  It scared me half to death.  I looked up to see where they could possibly have come from and lo and behold...the cat was being high and mighty. We played toss for a minute with fluff balls and socks.  It was fun I guess.

He doesn't like the camera flash in case you can't tell.

Toothbrush

I was staying at my grandma's house...and she used my toothbrush.  So I went in search of a new toothbrush because sharing a toothbrush is not my idea of a fun time.
This is the first one I found.  Too.....used.

This is the only other one I found. For infants. I used it anyway.

Don't worry, I have a better one now.

Morning

My life took a twist a couple weeks ago.  I started getting up really really early in the mornings.  I wasn't too fond of it until I looked outside.  I can't remember the last time I watched the sun rise! It wasn't the best place for a photo, but it was too pretty to not take a picture so....here are pictures of a sunrise and the houses across the street.
