The last few days have been MUCH BETTER... not great, but better, which I will gladly take! Cramps have been HORRIBLE! They are never this bad. My entire body hurts. Ugh. Not sure why it is so different this month. But, on a good note... I have been super busy reading my great thyroid books that lunch at my desk has been great! I think they know something is up, since I'm normally there every day. Oh well. I needed a little break and I think I'll be ready to give it another go next week! I also think talking to Ann for a good 3 1/2 hours the other day helped make this week not so bad as well! Plus Leila's back... that makes my world better too!

My diocese has a new bishop! Bishop Tim Doherty was ordained and installed yesterday! I was able to watch the beautiful mass online! It was amazing! He was so humbled. He was overcome with emotion during the consecration. That was so awesome to see. He also was overwhelmed by everyone who had come to the mass... including his parents and family, his priests from his previous diocese and even the nuns that taught him in grade school were there! His mom was so sweet! What an honor to have a son serve as a bishop! Wow! She did something right!! I think Bishop Doherty will great for this diocese! I'm very excited! I have a quote of his on my desk at work and I love it! I think it applies to about every situation in life:
"If you have a trust in God, things will happen that you would have never foreseen. God does have a way of carrying you... " - Bishop Tim Doherty

Hair color does a body good! I finally have returned to the color I'm pretty sure that God intended me to be - blonde! I had some major hair trauma a few months ago and it was not working! I hated it! Every time I looked in the mirror I cringed! I went back to my good hair gal (not the one that messed it all up!) and we've been slowly working on it! It's getting there and is so much lighter! Yay! I came home with a smile on my face and I love it. The hair cut is in a bit of a horrible 'in between' stage... but I will take it over what I had before! Whoo hoo!

Our floors are FINALLY getting replaced! Everything has been ordered and they should be installed in the next few weeks! It will be so nice once they are all done! Our insurance ended up paying for the entire cost, which was wonderful and way more than I ever would have guessed the floors to cost. We ended up getting the exact same floors from the company who put in the floors for the old owners a few years back. We love them and didn't want to change a thing. The main problem ended up being a leak from our ice maker! They didn't have to tear up the floor or slab! But really... the ice maker?? So frustrating! We don't even need an ice maker! We are now buying ice and/or making it ourselves and I'm fine with that. We don't want another leak!

Better off Dead. Have any of you seen this movie? I had not. My DH quotes it all the time. We were flipping through channels last night and stopped on it. DH was laughing so hard and had a great grin on his face! It was great to see him laugh and laugh and laugh! I was really wanting to watch big brother... but I didn't say a word! Aren't you proud??!

Speaking of... BIG BROTHER!!! Aren't you bb fans loving it so far!? The people are all driving me crazy and I can't stop watching. I think my IQ goes down a little bit each time it is on and I don't mind at all! Ha!

Our parish picture directory just came out! I was so excited for this! We got our picture taken before we were married... but registered everything under our new name, new address and such. I was a little worried that it would be wrong ... because it was wrong in another directory months AFTER the wedding. But it was all correct! I know this isn't a big deal... but is was fun being in it as a couple! I also love putting some names with faces we see at mass all the time! It's the simple things in life, right?!
Happy Friday everyone!! Have a great weekend!

You did in fact ask about watching Big Brother. I even gave you the remote, but you allowed me to watch the movie. I hope you enjoy your Friday.
Oh no DH... I didn't mention BB... I said I wanted to watch a show... I didn't mention BB until after you gave me the remote! Then I promptly gave the remote back. Hahaha! Love ya!
the ice maker? really??? how annoyingly small but so destructive!
glad insurance foot the bill! Yay!
I am offering up todays barfyness for your cramps:)
Makes me think twice about getting an ice maker!!! So sorry that your cramps are so bad!
Sending hugs and prayers!!
Oh my gosh - our ice maker just leaked all over our kitchen floor too! Luckily we caught it pretty early and everything has dried out. We had our plumber friend come and fix it so we're back in business, but I was like you at first, not EVER wanting to make ice again! What a pain in the rump!
Also, you live very close by!!! Your new bishop was from our diocese - Rockford in Illinois! Congrats! I hear he's awesome.
We have to plan a little midwest get together!!!
Hope you start feelin better soon! And about being blonde......I totally understand. I dyed mine back dark or a little lighter than natural about 2 years ago and never felt like me. I finally got hi-lights about 3 months ago and it is back to old Allie, though no color is so nice not to have to worry with paying for it!
Better off dead, great movie!! Tell DH this quote, "We have french bread, french fries, and to drink Peru! (LOL she meant perrier!)
First, you are so stinking sweet for the shout out! (I think you always have an eye on getting a Bubble Award, and lo and behold, you got three.)
Um... hair color. Well, I have finally started to see A LOT of gray hairs. Does this mean I have to start dying? Sorry, this was about you not me, right? I am a bit narcissistic and lately it's been about the hair.
Doug, are you the only dh who reads his wife's blog??? You are going to give the other dh's a bad name, dude!
1. ;-) I’m glad you’re feeling better. I love the long talks! (of course, we’ve never had a short one, but I’m sure those would be good, too).
2. I love the quote!
3. But did your gal give you great advice like battery banging? I think my hairdresser beats your hairdresser. I’m glad you’re getting back to your roots ;)
4. I can’t believe the icemaker caused all that! I hope the whole mess gets fixed quickly. Having any flooring installed is kind of a pain, but oh so worth it once it is over.
5-6 Never seen it. Wow, Jenny. No BB? Your all-time favorite that you are trying to suck me into? Are you getting fitted for your halo today?
7. Cute picture!
Leila – No, but Doug is man enough to comment! My DH reads mine and he is getting an earful about how awesome Doug is right now.
LOVE the parish directory! We got to our new church too late for a picture-but our name is in the back and that excites me to no end!
I can't wait to get our directory tomorrow! Isn't it sad the things That excite me these days. LOL
I'm glad you are happier with your color. I dyed mine auburn about a year ago and it just wasn't me. I'm back to blonde now (although I do need to redo my color soon).
That's crazy about the ice maker causing all that trouble. I'm glad the floor is fixed.
Very cool that Doug reads (and comments on) the blog.
That picture of the two of you is awesome! That's crazy about the ice maker! I'm glad your floors will be restored! And yay for Bishop Doherty! I really like everything I have read about him, and I'm excited for our diocese!
