Blech.

First, Brian was sick. On Monday, I came home from work to find him huddled under the blankets in our room, a big ol mess of sniffliness. He's pretty much gotten over it besides a residual headache, but now....you guessed it. I have the stinking cold. This is about the third day I've felt under the weather, and today I got to add giant sinus pressure to the list of symptoms. So right now, I feel like whining about things (and maybe it will add to Lisa's joy even though it is spring break now...). So, my whiney list:
-Somehow, last month I managed to not pay our cell phone bill, so today I had to pay $160. They only added a $1 late fee, but still. Grr.
-It's disgusting outside. It kinds of thinks it's snowing but maybe it would like to just blow coldness, or maybe it will warm up. Who knows? Not the weatherman, that's for sure.
-The most obvious point, we're sick.
-Brian's contribution: all his friends have left for spring break and are currently enjoying warm weather and fun. He's here with me to continue work on his project.
-Painting details on a bicycle is very hard and I can never keep my lines straight.

Here's a picture of me attempting to draw tiny black lines along the lugs of Brian's new old project bike. It was a bit tedious, but I could only imagine what it would look like it Brian had his way with it.

Continuing with my list now:
-Dumb bosses. I have to decide by Monday if I am going to either a) stay with the company for the rest of our time here (next summer) or b) decide now that I am only going to work through July and then will leave to attempt to find a teaching job. Seriously? What ever happened to giving two weeks' notice when you find a new and better job? Am I under a contract?!?!


Okay. I guess that's enough complaining. I will leave you with a new picture of our girls. I think they might actually be starting to like each other.
