Guess.



What do these things have to do with each other?

Well, if you cut open your finger with the can of corn you can stop the four hours of  bleeding with krazy glue.
Something I learned by personal experience on Monday.

resolved

Thanks to everyone who emailed/facebooked me about my migraine issue. I think I have fixed my blog so you can leave comments again. Hurray!

I love this picture of Paul and I. It was one of the first times we hung out... catching bugs for entomology with Kurt and Kendrina. I never would have guessed that night of the matching shirts that someday I would marry this handsome man, and that one day he'd be making a career out of his love of those bugs. Life is pretty magical that way.

Olympics

Loving those Olympics.

I remember getting to my elementary school early so that I could play with my friends on the ice that had formed on the blacktop. I liked to pretend to be Tara Lipinski the most, but sometimes was Michelle Kwan.

With no blacktop to "skate" on now, I sit on the couch in a blanket and watch.
It's amazing that I will start to breathe heavy with someone as they approach the finish line.. just because they live in the same country as me... but I do, and I think that is why the Olympics are a powerful reminder of country, of dedication to a sport, and how the world can be united. 
Plus, snowboard cross is just way too cool. 

Go USA!

Migraine Advice?

If 30 million Americans are affected by migraines... maybe some of you can help me out.

I've had migraines in the past, but very far and in between. In the last month I've had three. Yesterday was the worst of them. The symptoms included... blurry vision, numbness in my hand, then I was trying to read a website and couldn't put the words together, then I was talking to Paul on gchat about the situation.. and as you can see... I obviously couldn't put my thoughts down logically:


10:53 AM me: no, camie can just come me. if it gets bad before you left i'll call you. i'm trying to tought it uot
 Pauly: ok
  well don't be too tough
  what were those letters that you got yesterday?
10:54 AM me: letters? i'm having have a hard to think and type right
 Pauly: there were two letters that you received, I should have told you that.
  they were from delaware or something but sent from provo
  it was weird
 me: i didn't see thouse
 Pauly: you're spelling all of your words wrong
10:55 AM I'll stop bothering you
  take a break when you need to
 me: i have to read everything you read a few time days.
What is weird is that I remember trying to think of how to spell the word "day", but in retrospect... I obviously didn't even need to use it in the sentence. 

It was really bizarre and scary not to be in control. What I tried to talk, it wasn't much better than the typing, I knew what I wanted to say, and would plan it out in my head- but it would come out with the wrong words in the wrong places. 

After I took a long nap and some Ibuprofen I woke up with just a slight headache.
Any advice???
