where is shayna, where is shayna?

here i am!

the past few weeks have been insanely busy.

first i got super sick with bronchitis. then john went camping (who goes camping in march? this guy.) and brought some other virus home, resulting in another bout with bronchitis. and for those of you who don't know, bronchitis sucks. i was literally sick for a week. i stayed home from work for four days. FOUR DAYS. i've never stayed home more than two days due to illness. (i am such a role model employee.)

last week is a complete blur. my sister in law's mother passed away and we had a nice drive with john's mom(insert sarcasm) down to van buren, missouri for the funeral. john and i both felt it was very important to be there to support tim and susan. it's been a rough two months for them. even though her death was probably the best thing because she'd been so sick, i cannot fathom what it would be like to lose a parent...

last thursday, i headed to dallas to spend some time with the family. it was actually a really nice trip. i got a little caught up in rock band (cody and i have an awesome band, scrantonicity III) and that threw me off my game. due to my addiction, i missed hanging out with lovely heather :( (i'm so sorry!!!) and probably could have done more shopping. oh, well.

THEN (oh yeah, there's more) monday, john left for miami, leaving me with the doggies. lordy. i could never be a single parent. i can't even handle two dogs on my own. monday night was a complete disaster and last night, i went to the bon jovi (shut it!) concert. when i got home, the doggies were completely wired and it took them forever to calm down. of course, i had to watch david cook perform before going to bed, so it all worked out.

but back to bon jovi...i never imagined in a million years that i would have as much fun as i did. i was also amazed at how many songs i knew. they did a really great job of playing a lot of old songs and mixing in a few new ones. my favorite part of the evening was when jbj (that's what us cool folks call him) ripped open his shirt to expose his abs. holy cow - i thought i was going to go deaf from all of the screaming. anyway, long story short - great show. daughtry opened and i actually enjoyed them a lot, too. they played a few songs where chris would use a megaphone to sing into...it took me back to deer creek 2001 and mega.

so, that's my life. john gets home today and i am super excited to see him. i know it sounds cheesy, but i miss him so much when we're apart :(
