Well hello sinuses.
I woke up this morning to a lovely headache and nasal canals full of snot. I wish I could stick a little vacuum up in my head and suck it all out. I hate when my sinuses hit me like this. There is no warning and then WHAM!! Ugh. I want to go home, put on some pajamas and curl up on the couch.
And it is really gloomy outside, which doesn't help my disposition one bit. I have some sick time built up so technically I could take a half a day off, but my logical brain is telling me to suck it up and save the sick days for an actual factual sickness.

A day at the park
This afternoon we strapped our bunny in his harness hooked him to his leash and took him to the park. All-in-all it was a success. We didn't stay very long. He's still trying to understand the whole harness/leash thing and outside gives him to many options for exploration he sometimes just sits because he doesn't know what to do. I think the most trauma was caused by the car ride. That's something that I don't think he'll ever grow to like. Here are some pictures from the big outing.

Weekend recap!
Friday
It was a very relaxing weekend at the Steele house. My wedding band was finally out of repair so Friday I drove down to Winston after work to pick it up. My trip wasn't very eventful. I got my ring and went to Petsmart to pick up some things for Brunswick. I got him a leash and harness set, but when I got it home it was way too small. Turns out he is much bigger in person than he is in my head. Oh well.
Saturday
I was determine to find a harness for Brunswick because the spring weather looks like it's here to stay and I wanted to get him outside. Andy and I had breakfast at the Sunrise Grill in Boone. It was my first time there. The food was ok, but the cleanliness of the restaurant did not impress me. There was something unidentifiable on my plate and particles of something else floating around in the bottom of my apple juice. So after our mediocre brunch we headed off in search of a harness for the bun. We went to Blowing Rock to the pet boutique on Main Street, The Barking Rock. Cute name. Anyway, I had seen some dog harnesses here a long time ago that I thought might work. We got a blue one in extra small for our little fur ball. As you can imagine, being in Blowing Rock, the price tag was a little hefty, but I was getting desperate. From there we went to get some food for Brunsie and a leash to go with his new harness and then for me to pick out some movies. Andy was camping that night so I was having a girls night.
Once we got home we put the harness on Brunswick and it fit. Horray! As you can imagine he was less than stoked to have it on. And then when we attached the leash that was a whole other catastrophe. He was running around like a crazy person trying to get loose. But we finally got a hold of him and got him outside... and then there was peace! He loved being outside. It was his first time ever and he had a great time! He is a curious little thing and so he had to sniff everything in sight. He didn't wander too far away from home. Like I said, it was his first time outside ever and there was a lot to explore within the 10 feet from the door. We ended the adventure for the day and went to help Andy get ready for his backpacking trip.
Brunsie and I sent Andy off with lots of bunny kisses and human kisses and then we had a visit from Jessie and Dori, and Thomas showed up a little later. Dori decided that she liked Brunswick and she wanted to play, but Brunswick didn't quite understand what she was doing. He was curious though and didn't seem to dislike her being there. He never thumped at her which is a good sign. Dori did however enjoy sharing the Brunsie treats.
Later that night we settled in for a movie marathon. I watched "The Golden Compass" and "P.S. I Love You". I wish I had known before hand that "The Golden Compass" was open ended. I probably would have waited until the sequel came out. Oh well, something to look forward to right? "P.S. I Love You" was not quite the blubber fest I had been warned about. It was sad, but it was kind of a feel good movie too. I really enjoyed it and I'm thinking of adding it to my collection.
I decided to have a "slumber party" with Brunswick. I don't sleep well when Andy isn't home so I blew up the air mattress in the living room and just left Brunsie out of his cage. He did really well and didn't get into any mischief until about 5 am when he decided to come visit me on the air mattress. I put him in his cage and he was making so much noise I had to move to the bedroom.
Sunday
Andy came home around 8 am and I got up. Sunday was really relaxing. I decided to take a nap around 10:30 and I slept until 1. Wow, I guess I needed it. I still hadn't watched "Sweeny Todd" that I also rented on Saturday. Since Andy had no desire whatsoever to watch it he left to go visit some friends and I settled in for another movie. Ehh, It wasn't really my cup of tea. Once Andy got home he decided we needed to watch the Law & Order marathon. So from about 4 until bedtime we watched nothing but L&O. Needless to say, I could do without that show for a while. I did escape for a bit to go get some Hungry Howie's pizza. Yummy! We haven't had a nice greasy pizza in a long time. It was so good. I drug Andy to bed about midnight, even though the marathon wasn't over. He was asleep on the couch so I made a judgment call.
It seems like we had a lot going on this weekend, but really it was one of the most restful we've had in a long time.

Hi 49 Low 38, yuck!
Current Conditions in BE
Current weather "statement":
Current weather "statement":
"...VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...I give up on spring! It teases me and things start to get a little bit green up here and then we have a day like this. Last night was so windy the grill cover CAME OFF and blew away. We have no idea where it is. This is insane and it makes me not want to live here. I love Banner Elk, but I'm really getting sick of this weather. I've had enough. I want some stinkin' sunshine dang it!!!
.A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING UP THE ATLANTIC COAST WILL
CAUSE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS TO PERSIST ACROSS THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA TODAY. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND PORTIONS OF THE
FOOTHILLS."

The davenport is here!!
Horay for a new sofa!! Andy calls it a davenport. His grandparents called their couch the davenport so he has decided that our couch is a davenport too. Call it whatever you want, it's fabulous. I'm so excited to finally have a nice piece of furniture in the living room! I think the best part is that we can each have our own space and not have to take turn laying down!
Long time no post. Weekend update!
Wow, it's been a while. I guess I haven't had anything interesting happen in a while. But I just got home from a crazy busy weekend. Friday I drove down to Raleigh to go to my first nestie get together! A sleepover!!! It was so much fun and it was a blast to finally meet some people. I feel like I know them because I talk to them so much. Good to put some faces with some screen names.
Saturday I left our capitol (after a quick lunch with Julie) to head to Mooresville. I spent that night with Pam & Todd so I could go to some showers. I went to Whitney's bridal shower that night. It was so much fun and it was really great to see my friends. I got to meet Whit's BFF, Ashley, and she is every bit as wonderful as Whitney always said she was. It's so good to see Whitney happy. And I know she'll be glad to finally be a Mrs.
Saturday was another shower. Jenn's baby shower this time. She is such a cute pregnant woman. She looks really great to be so far along and seems to be doing well. I didn't make it to see the nursery. Hopefully when I'm down for Whitney's wedding. I can't wait to meet little Cole. I'm sure he'll be beautiful!
After the shower I headed back home, thankfully. It was a lot of fun, but I haven't traveled that much in a very long time. I'm still trying to recover.

So out of shape!
Oh My Gosh!!
So since I don't work in retail anymore and I'm not on my feet all day I feel like a sloth. And I've also put on weight, which I expected I would by sitting at a desk all day. I asked Andy to go for a walk with me this evening at the BE park. We went and probably walked 3 miles or so. I'm so tired and I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. It was good for me though. Andy's stride is bigger so I had to work harder to keep up with him. I feel better about myself though. Hopefully we can work up to a jog. I really want to join the gym, but I want to make sure we are going to dedicate ourselves to this before we spend the money.
I'm going to go rest my shins now. I'll keep you updated.
