Apparently there are people out there who don't appreciate it when I joke about being pregnant.
:D
It's really just my response to all those who joke (or not joke) about us having babies right now. We've been told many times (and some people were absolutely serious) that we should have lots of babies, and soon. I hear that this is perfectly normal for young married couples, so I'm not really annoyed. I just brush it off and say, "Not for a few years."
But I'm not the only one who has joked, on my blog, about being pregnant (*cough* Erin *cough*)
And I promise not to do that again.
In other news (that might seem to be related, but it's not) I'm feeling much better today. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to go to bible study tonight, which wouldn't be the end of the world, except it WOULD BE. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE bible study. It is the best, and it's amazing, and I'm blown away every time.
But I can go, so the world can keep on spinning.
And we're going grocery shopping today, and I'm buying ingredients to make my world famous spinach dip! It is very very yummy.
And my mom and sister will be here in EXACTLY two weeks. We're almost ready for them. We still have to get rid of the bunk bed. ART!

Tuesdays Are Perfect For Being Sick
Art and I are a pretty pathetic couple today. We're both sick, but we don't know with what. Neither of us has a fever, and there are no cold symptoms either. We're both just incredibly achy. Like, our entire bodies hurt: muscles, bones, insides...
Thankfully, Art has the day off today. On the downside, it sucks to be spending it like this, but on the upside, at least he didn't have to worry about work.
We kind of tried to take care of each other, but that didn't work so well. He's been watching tv, and I've been in bed most of the day.
We finally decided to take some painkillers, just to get some ding dang relief. I think they're working, but I'm hoping that we'll feel more normal tomorrow. I have bible study, and I REALLY want to go. Also, we need to go grocery shopping. Also, feeling like this just sucks, no matter what.
Is it possible to get sick from eggs? Because that's all I've eaten today. I cooked eggs for us this morning, before we started feeling so yucky.
I have no idea how to end this post. I just wanted to report on how we're doing.

Savor the Flavor
That's what Art told me to title my post. Why? Because we went to the garbage dump today.
Art switched cars with his dad last weekend, so we've been driving his dad's truck around for a week. His parents are coming up today, which means that the cars will be switched back. I told Art that we had to get rid of the futon TODAY. It's been sitting in the carport for a few weeks, and I was adamant that it will not be there when my mom and sister show up in two weeks.
So we piled it into the truck, along with a ton of other garbage and recycling that can't be picked up. (Which I think is incredibly retarded. Did I ever tell you? Our garbage and recycling only get picked up once a month, and we have three small bins for recycling: one for newspaper, one for scrap paper, and one for bottles and cans. That's it. So milk cartons, jars, cereal boxes, ice cream tubs, and all manner of cardboard and plastic just piles up, until you're forced to take it to the dump, or stuff it into your overflowing garbage can, which is the only amount of garbage you're allowed to put out. You can't have a can and multiple bags sitting around it. If you want two garbage cans, fine, but you have to clear it with them so that they can charge you extra. And if you want your garbage picked up more than once a month, they charge you extra. It's such an inconvenient system!)
We loaded up the truck, and headed to Ferndale, which is about 15-20 minutes away. I've never been to a dump before. And I definitely don't want to go back anytime soon. It stinks SO bad!! I'm sure I didn't need to tell you that, I mean, it's a dump, but now I know! I hope the people who work there get paid A LOT.
The cool thing is that it's really organized. There's one section with several large bins just for garbage, then there's another area just for recycling, and separate bins for everything. I also saw areas where you can dump construction materials, tree branches, even concrete scraps!
So that's the dump. Now I've been there. Now I need to take several showers.
