Happy New Year 2010!

It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Y2K. Do you remember where you were when 1999 became 2000? I was in my parents' house in New York, and my dad decided that after all the Y2K scare, it would be really hilarious to go and pull the breaker at midnight. He's a funny man, my dad!

Well, what would New Year's be without a football game? As Ben is an avid Auburn fan, we watched the Auburn/Northwestern game on January 1st. I don't think I've ever seen such an interesting ending to a game. If you saw the game, you know what I'm talking about. If not, well, you just missed out then! It's certainly destined to become a classic.

Sunday night I went to bed feeling a little sick to my stomach, but I thought, no biggie, I just ate too much candy. (My house is FULL of candy leftover from Christmas. *sigh*) Monday I got up, ate a little breakfast, drank some orange juice (bad idea), swept and mopped my kitchen floor, and got ready for work. I ate lunch in a hurry as I was driving to work and by the time I got there I really was not feeling well. I couldn't go home until my boss went and picked her daughter up, so she went and did that and in the meanwhile I did my best to put on a happy face as parent after parent came in to register their child. Oh there is nothing worse than a busy day at work when you feel like you're about to hurl. And then right after my boss got back from picking up her daughter, I lost it, literally. So I came home right away and after that I'm sure I lost everything I had eaten for the last month. For 5 straight hours I was completely miserable, lying in bed unable to move except to roll over or get up and run to the restroom. Thank heavens it only lasted for 5 hours. Today I'm at home recovering from this stomach bug and trying to reacclimate my body to solid foods. The good thing about stomach bugs is that they are so short lived. And thank goodness that babies in utero and women's bodies are hardy enough to withstand such a beating!
