Do you have to go home?
@cassgirl says:
You’re still beautiful in bed BTW!!!
Lucky girl!!!
Poor alece, hope you feel better soon!
Question – do they really give you ice cream and jelly/jello?
I hope you are feeling okay….lots of icecream on tap I’m sure!
“Any questions?”
[In best Jeff Spicolli accent.] “Where’d ya get this jacket?”
Awwww. :( I love you.
I emailed you back. It’s like a novel. LOL!
Any questions? Ummm, are you done with Friends yet? ;-) Are you able to talk? Laugh?
nooooooooooo, that says it all!!!
@cassgirl says:
YOU know I can ask questions.
But I have one that’s really bugging me.
Has your ceilling change much since you got home? :)
Also, you look dang good for being in bed feeling all bad. Sheesh.
maybe you should wear your glasses for the second picture. That might help. Also, did your tonsils help with your balance because I noticed you were standing in the first photo. Maybe I am missing something??
Awww – “this too shall pass.” Glad you have such a good nurse! :)
@tamhodge says:
nope. no questions? well. actually, i do have one question…
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but people don’t point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?
@atangie says:
Ha, Tam is funny.
questions?
Would it help if you knew I was so very proud of you? Well, I am.
your so cute!! I watched some friends in honor of you yesterday.
Are you looking forward to going home? 709mjubgo8mok0uj? Conrad asked that one, if you figure it out let us know. he’s sitting next to me.
heidi — WHA??!! and no, thankfully the ceiling is doing A-OK!
birgit — at the hospital, they gave me icepops. i haven’t eaten ice cream (don’t want the dairy) or jell-o (blech!) since i’ve gotten home either. but lots of applesauce, popsicles, and now…mashed potatoes. (oooooooh!)
J-Griff — awww… thanks for stopping by!
NE — i actually googled that… never saw it!
BM — we just started season 4… i think that makes us about 78 episodes in. not too shabby, all things considered. i haven’t watched a single one today yet though. GASP! i can talk, but it hurts a bit, and i’ve been trying to keep the laughter down. that seems to help. (and yay for email!)
kristi — i’m missing a thing or two myself!
tam — you nearly ruptured my stitches with that comment. where do you come up with this stuff???
@ngie — :blush: thanks, friend.
faith — umm… a little bit. and tell conrad, YES! absolutely, yes!!
Except for the frown you look like very good for someone who has been sick.
Is the frown because your are still feeling sick or because the doctor told you and Niel you had to go two weeks without any “rigorous activity”.
Where are cheech and chong now?
Ed ALWAYS makes me laugh! Always! LOL!
Okay, so you have stitches, obviously, but for some reason it never occured to me that you have them. Hmm. So are they going to disolve or do they need to be taken out? eek. ouch.
I hope you can talk soon without it hurting!
Sorry, I know how you feel. I just had my wisdom teeth out two weeks ago.
Get better
@cassgirl says:
How many pillows do you sleep with??
Looks like zillions!!!
@tamhodge says:
well. i have NO brain matter today. and i really wanted to make you smile. so i cheated, and for the first time eh-vvveeerrrr – i googled a funny!
cuz i love you THAT much!
you’re beautiful Kitty… with tonsils….and without. But I can tell you’re under the weather :(
Stay in bed as long as you can. Your crazy busy life is less than two weeks away… b/c 2 weeks from today I’ll be on my way to SA… and you’ll already be there!!!!!!!! Oh my cow!!!
@cassgirl says:
Baby Alece will be toooo….

Hope you’re feeling better soon Alece…this can not be any fun….you excited about getting back to Africa???

@mandythompson says:

@coloraturajoy says:

@danielleH says:

rest up!
It’s green because she is sick. Duh.
Aw……I bet it is a relief to have them out though! You still look cute though! Hope you are enjoying your Friends and the rest!!!
No. No questions. You still look good to me!
You may not look or feel better yet – but you will be!
Hang in, hang tough!
(And MILK IT!)
Awww you look cute even after that horrible surgery. :)
I just found you via Soliloquy’s blog. I saw on hers that you are reading Breaking Dawn. I’ve read all four of those books as well. I loved them. The fourth one was probably my least favorite.
Don’t you feel sort of weird to be attracted to a teen vampire?!?! LOL And, as long as I’m confessing… I find Jacob pretty hot as well! I’m just saying….
ah, shame. Sorry, friend. Hope you start to feel better very soon (uh…definitely before the flight!).
Heidi- YES…she HAS TO COME HOME! :)
Hope you feel better friend!
The second picture…yeah…that’s me most days.
It sucks.
I’m sorry.
FYP
Hey you. I got something in the mail today. :D
Brandy what is it??? hehe
@cassgirl says:
I have to say that you and Brandy look like twins. But your both beautiful anyways!!!!
@cassgirl says:
@ Charlene..
K, I know she needs to get back to work.
She’ll be back on the WEST COAST next time for a visit. right?????
Your Fortunate Charlene.. know that!!!
Faith, go to my page and check it out. ;-)
And Heidi, we only look like twins b/c I was also in my jams. Alece is much cuter than me! ;-)
where is she by the way? :/
@cassgirl says:
probably sleeping or puking
ew. I hope not puking. :(
Sleep sounds good right now. I’m thinking about it. My head feels HUGE and my eyes are all watery and I don’t think I have a nose that works anymore. And I swear something is tightening around my temples. ick. ;-)
nap time to the rescue! ;-)
Yes. I have one. Who are you again?
@cassgirl says:
I will be praying for you Brandy…
Go get sleep.. You are not any good to your family sick and tired.. GO!!!
i should get in a pickture allso of before and after…..
i am sleep depravated .. and all kindsa other depravation going on but i hear some people will make up for it all on our trip to the motherland…..
are you saying you want to join the mile-high club, AB?!
@cassgirl says:
*(BLUSH)***
i do not believe in drugs or geting high no….
no i dont fit in there myself never mind 2 people .. but i were actually refering to italia…
everyone — i braved the world today. i actually showered and got dressed (bra and all!) and left the house. five hours later, after a doctor’s appointment and errand-running, i’m back on my bed. with my laptop. and my man. right where i belong…
ed — cheech and chong are at a pathology lab getting tested. (results aren’t in yet) no jar on my mantle in their future… shame, eh?
raisin BRAN — well, i stretched the truth a bit with the stitches comment to tam. i didn’t get stitches; my throat was cauterized (yes, burned!) once cheech and chong were evicted. so gross, huh?!
5th Street — i was so thrilled you made an appearance on my blog! bummer about the wisdom teeth. i got mine removed about two months after i moved to africa. my cheeks blew up like a chipmunk’s and i was bed-ridden and soup-fed for over a week. hope your recovery was better than that!
heidi — normally i only sleep with one pillow. a certain one, in fact. but since the surgery i’ve slept on 3. it seems to hurt less when i’m laying in more of a sitting position. that makes no sense spelled out like that, but i’m sure you know what i mean.
tam — i love that you fessed up to that!
amy — we’re gonna be housemates for a while. that thought makes me smile!
debs — excitement hasn’t kicked in yet, so much to still do. …
mandy — i was trying out the built-in webcam feature of my new laptop! oooooohhhh…
joy renee — oh, laughter is welcomed. don’t worry! and no milkshakes, but lots o’ icepops!
danielle — i’d hoped i’d be. but, sadly, nope…
dawn — thanks for jumping in over here at the grit! and yes, i’m ashamed that i’ve enjoyed the books as much as i have. it makes me feel like a teenybopper.
michelle — oh man… i’m praying for you.
andrew — i’m some crazy guy named bean’s sister.
A-B — oh THAT trip. and THAT motherland. got it. yes. payment IN FULL. don’t you worry. as long as there’s space to pack my heels, we’re all set!
omgosh I am GAGGING at the burning of your throat. *GAG*DRYHEAVE*
;-) haha!
i know! horrible horrible horrible!
HORRIBLE.
@cassgirl says:
I can’t believe that Brandy missed the heel comment.. she must be ill!!!
well, it was at the end of a very LONG stream of comment-backs. i hate when i have to resort to that…
AND i figured she’d be all over this bra conversation. you know, with her love of all things boob.
@cassgirl says:
No… Brandy would have caught it.. :)
@cassgirl says:
Yes.. she is the boob queen.. She’s got the song and all..
maybe if we sing lullabooby, she’ll come back…
