Flashback Meme…yeah
It started as a sore throat a couple of days ago with a bit of a cold, and yesterday the fever hit. Then the diarrhea, of course, because life would be too easy without that. And then, the vomiting began. I was up all night throwing up.
Somewhere during the night, I had the strange and rare pleasure of blowing vomit out my nose.
Gentle Readers, I am sick.
I can barely talk which, frankly, is good news for my children because they’re driving me crazy but I can’t scream at them!
Also, I don’t have my scanner set up here yet, nor do I really have any idea where my pictures are, so rather than Flashback Friday, I’m going to go with a meme that Paige tagged me for. It’s kinda flash-backy, and requires much less effort and thought from me in my thoughtlessness today.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago I was not quite 19 years old. Oddly enough, I was living in the city that I’ve now just moved to. I was finishing up my freshman year of college, going to summer school and taking my first Spanish class. I had just been thrown out of the Foreign Language Housing and very soon I would be thrown out of BYU all together. Ahhhh, the sweet memories. Hahaha. Oh, and I was making out with everyone. Okay, not everyone. I had two criteria–they had to be male and they had to be hot. Still, there were PLENTY to choose from. Hahahaha.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
One year ago I was 6 months pregnant with Lil’ Dude. I was traipsing all over the place with my little kiddos and my big fat pregnantness.

Ah, Brill. Vomit out your nose? That is just no good. Nope. No good at all.
Have you already told the story about getting booted from BYU? Link me if you have, tell me to butt out if it’s not my business. But I gotta say, knowing that about you makes you infinitely more interesting (and you were already so so so high up there on a pedestal to me!)
Feel better soon!
Feel better soon!
Oh, I hope you’re getting better. Nose vomit, so bad.
I’m honored for the tag. I will ponder it during my son’s preschool graduation pool party. Or should I say, Par-tay.
oh my, and I was just feeling sorry for myself for waking up with a little cold! Sorry to hear about your agony… I hope it passes soon!
I would LOOOOOOVE to have a summer house and winter house!
I’d have a beach house on the east coast, an apartment in minneapolis and a ranch in Kentucky. Yeah. Come on, windfall!
Now you’ve got me daydreaming!
Hope you feel better! We are sick here too.
Love this meme!
The glow of good health is never so well enjoyed as when one is reminded that others in the world are deathly ill. Thanks! =P
Hope it’s a quick, passing thing.
Wow. I haven’t had nose vomit in years. I remember it being “burny”.
And, I totally would get lipo too. And a nose job, and maybe a little laser work.
But then I’d be done…
well, at least until the neck waddle starts to grow.
And the eyes start to sag.
And…
Nose vomit sucks. Feel better soon! And I hope the kids don’t get it!)
Oh man. In my opinion throwing up is absolutely the WORST.ILLNESS.EVER. I’d rather have any other ailment than throw up. Seriously.
And for you it’s worse because it’s throwing up added to other things.
I feel for you, I truly do. Feel better soon darling!!
I’m sorry you’re sick! That totally sucks. I did enjoy your meme though. I liked your bad habits and smiled because we like to do the same five things! Get better. I would love to hear why you got thrown out of BYU sometime!
I’m very sorry that you are sick–especially because ‘you can’t really call in sick to work’. Here’s to hoping the illness stops at you and leaves your family alone.
Kicked out of the Y, I’d love to read that story!
I’m sending healing thoughts your way.
Excellent meme responses…again with the eerie similarities between us…
Brillig, sorry you are sick. Bleck-vomiting out one’s nose. The worst. Well, if you pee your pants too. Feel better.
I was blogging the other day(when I should have been mothering) and Nathan saw your pic of Scooby and said, “Hey dat me!”
I thought God has a rule that moms are not allowed to blow chunks threw their noses! It’s just not fair.
Florescent shirts. Hah, remember the ones that changed colors when you got warm? Never now! I get aggravated too often with kids, in-laws, etc!
My goodness–get well soon!
Eeww… I hate nose vomit. Yuck.
Really neat meme! Made me laugh.
Oh…my poor bloggy friend…I hope you feel better soon!
Mmmmmmmm….Dr. Pepper! Crap! Now I want a Dr. Pepper!
P.S. Spying on my Wordpress progress, eh? Well, since you sent me on the mission…I guess it’s okay!
Vomit out your nose? Ow!
Thanks, everyone. It’s strep. I’m now on an antibiotic which means that I’m not contagious anymore! Unfortunately, Hubby already caught it. He too has strep. But his never got very bad and he started the antibiotic early.
Nothing like two sick parents and four kids…
Thanks so much for all the well-wishes.
OMG, another Duranie! Just when I thought I couldn’t love you anymore.
(Only a true Duranie knows that song)
nice answers.. not sure what the purpose of the last lil thing is though (putting your name on the list?)
