1990s

So today was the 90s. And like I said, the first thing that came to mind was "grunge". So I wore Rob's pants and a pair of big shoes (because I don't have my Doc Martens anymore!!), and of course the flannel around my waist. I also had my "bottle cap/seat belt" belt on...ahahaha. Today I felt more like a moron than the other days this week. I think it was because the other days were more "out there" and today was a little more close to home...like actually HOW I dressed in middle school. So, that was a little weird. I had a hard time with feeling like a complete idiot in something I used to leave the house in....I dunno....hard to explain. The other days, no I didn't want to like go to the store or anything dressed like that, but today was more like someone might think "oh, not a costume, just someone who's NOT with the times!!"
Anyway......That's diversity week!

1980s

Totally Rad!!!!

Notice the "rainbow stripe" eyeshadow!! Today was the 80s day. It was awesome. I had so much inspiration growing up with my mom always all decked out, being in a band, and sadly...the only thing I had to BUY for the outfit was the socks and the stripped shirt. Everything else I had already (and April borrowed me the black necklace).
There were a lot of people that dressed up. Even our Admissions Coordinator, Paula did. And I did NOT think she would!

She said she felt like a moron, but figured if our Receptionist could dress up on 60’s day, then she’d be inspired and go with the group! And she looked so awesome! I sat and talked to her for a while today and the stories she tells and the way she tells them is soooo funny! I was laughing so hard I almost cried off my fake eyelashes!
Rebecca and I:

I kept forgetting that I was dressed up, until people would look at me funny in the halls. And my favorite resident that said I was “sexy” yesterday couldn’t stop laughing at me today. It was funny.
I had to borrow my sisters hair waver because no one I know has a crimper, but the waver worked nicely! I had so many layers of clothes on though, I was afraid to go to the bathroom! Made me think of the 90’s and the bodysuits that were sometimes a pain…BUT your shirt stayed tucked in!!! I did like that part! So tomorrow I’m thinking I’ll go grunge. That’s what I first thought of when I thought 90s. Every week needs to be this exciting. OR maybe I need to get a life that involves more excitement than dressing up like a dork everyday! Wow, I suck. I need a dog….so I can dress IT up! :D

And that's how the migraine crumbles

This last weekend was pretty good. I got to go out to lunch with my mom, while Rob and his dad watched football at our house. I always enjoy hanging out with my mom. Then Sunday I baked cookies! I haven’t made cookies in quite a while. I found a recipe that was similar to the one my mom made when I was little. Of course Rob attacked the dough (it WAS good), and ate several cookies!

This week at work we’re doing Diversity week, and each day is a different theme. Monday is 50s day, Tuesday is 60s, Wednesday is 70s, Thursday is 80s, and Friday is 90s. So Sunday night I decided to go get a plain white t-shirt for 50’s day, so I went to Wal-mart. As I was looking around….is that what I think it is???

NOOOOOOO….. Blind spots….one of my tell-tale signs that I have a migraine creeping in! So I hurried home, and called Rob on my way so that he could go get me a Pepsi (he’s so good). And I hurried home to search for one of my sample migraine pills. My Dr. gave me a few to try. All I had left was an Imitrex, which I haven’t tried yet. The pain set in after I took it, so I laid on the couch with a blanket over my head. I just have to block everything out when I start getting a migraine. The Imitrex didn’t work as well as some of the samples I’ve tried. I felt really crappy, and my head still hurt, and eventually (as usual) I threw up. Which makes the head ache even more! With all the caffeine I got in me (Rob ended up getting me a Pepsi MAX), it usually doesn’t effect me, but I had a hard time getting to sleep. The next day I still had mild blind spots (very unusual for me), but I had to go to work to start closing the payroll for the period. I left early though, because my head still hurt, and if I coughed or sneezed, I about died! Today the head is MUCH better.

Since its 60’s day, I have my hair all big.

I was dressed up yesterday for 50s but I wasn’t up for a camera flash, so I didn’t get a pic of it. I’ll try to get pictures every day to post. It’s great, there are a lot of people participating, which makes it fun. One of my favorite residents kept laughing at my hair, he said it looked pretty normal from the front, but when I turned my head, he couldn’t stop laughing. :P At least I’m entertaining SOMEONE.
