Sock monkies, silk flowers, and sickies

I keep telling myself I should write a post, but I can never think of anything when I am sitting at the computer. I love sock monkeys and so Austin found one at Walmart and got it for me. I have no idea why I have such an affinity for sock monkeys, but I do. They are just so friendly and happy. Picture from here.

I went shopping for silk flowers a couple of weeks ago. I found all of them at Hobby Lobby, except for the white daisies. I found those at Ribbons and Lace. I had a hard time trying to find black ribbon to go around grip of my bouquet, I guess black satin ribbon is in high demand (come to think of it, Halloween is coming up and that might explain the lack of black ribbon at craft stores).

Austin and I have been sick. First he got sick the weekend we went shopping for the flowers. Then we were okay for a few days, after which I got sick. I guess that is what I get for kissing a sick man. Oh, well it was worth it.

I need to keep myself busy. My dad got a new job down in Mesa and so my Mom and Dad are down in Mesa all the time, so I am left home alone (not without wheels though, I get to drive around a 4 wheel drive Suburban with a sound system) with nothing to do and no one to talk to. I look for jobs and watch movies (mostly Smallville, but I have to get my fill of chick flicks too). I can only do so many things for the wedding in Thatcher, but going down to Mesa for a week would be just as boring. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
