Little Kite Girl

So last night was bad.  And by bad- I mean, “Hey Colon…how you doing this evening?” Answer: BAD.  I don’t really understand what happened…for a couple of weeks it seems like the prednisone has been working its magic, but then BAM.  Not so much.  And I thought iron was supposed to make me constipated?  I think not.  Anyway, I chalked it up to my mysterious unidentifiable colon disease and thought to myself, “Maybe I’ll just get some sleep and be better in the morning.”  Oh how cute the thought.  Let’s just say rough night.  I woke up around 6 feeling pretty bad, so I decided to go lay in the bathroom and burn a candle and try and relax so I wouldn’t be in and out of bed so much.  Sometime around 7:30 I called into work, then crawled back into bed after taking some medication, and fell asleep.  Next thing I know my Mom is waking me up around 10:30 with some soup (battle dehydration, you know) and saying, “You’re not allowed to use candles anymore.”  When I went into the bathroom I saw that the candle wax had overflowed EVERYWHERE, and according to my mother, it had become a veritable mountain of flame-shooting lava when she had the “inkling” to come check on me about an hour earlier.

Question:  How can a girl who doesn’t have the common sense not to light a candle while sleeping be trusted with an INFANT? I can just see it now.  “But doctor, I thought the ninja stars went well with his PJ’s.”  Geez Louise.  No wonder they don’t let me drive lately.  All this pooing has addled my brain.

In other news- before the Great Colon Attack of August 2008 we did end up getting our toes done again last night.  For some reason I decided on a turquoise green/mermaid blue iridescent (sp?) combo that kind of makes it look like the Kool Aid guy threw up on my feet.  It’s kind of cool though.  Definitely different.  Every time we go to Spicy Nails the girls talk about how white my skin is, and last night the girl asked me, “Do you even have to shave your legs?”  Haha.  It’s kind of a trip.  “Well, I’ve always been about this white…but more so lately with the lack of blood and all.  And yes, I shave my legs most days.  With baby oil- terrible on the tub, great on the skin.”  But I really like this place because even though the girls talk to each other a lot in Korean, they ALWAYS translate everything for everyone, and involve us in the conversation.  And they are really nice!  We chat about the baby, my brother, their kids, their school, the Olympics, Provo, just about everything!  And they do hot wax on my feet.  Loooovvveee it.

So yeah, now I’m just chillin’ in bed.  Again.  Going crazy.  I’m hoping this will be a one day thing…and that we’ll get it under control so that I can go back to work tomorrow.  I’m already going to miss a baby shower for a friend at work tonight :(  But no work no play- just rest and sarcastic web posts for Erin today.
