surprise! you're sick

I have always had an incredibly sensitive body - when I run a lot or stand under hot water, I tend to get these reddish-pink hives all over my left arm (why the left arm? I still have no idea). When I move my neck just a bit from side to side, it cracks terribly. I tend to get the hiccups more frequently than others (maybe I just don't know how to breathe). And last Thursday, when the sun was out and it was actually a mild 8°C (46°F) I thought, "Hey! Let's open up my window for the first time in months."

Yeah, not the brightest idea because about two hours later, as I ventured downstairs for some food, I felt it: the sniffles. Surprise! my overly sensitive body exclaimed. You're sick! The Boy made my day on Friday by coming to my house to surprise me with cookies, and then hanging with friends was comforting and brought warmth in the form of sharing blankets as we watched a movie and spicyness as we ate pad thai at a pho restaurant. Mmm mm good. Apart from that, my waste basket has turned into a mountain of tissues.

Basically the past few days have been attempts to stay warm and healthy while web designing (check out my sister's scrumptious cupcakery website here and the lovely, smart and sassy Sara's new blog design here), eating cookies, and watching The Vampire Diaries. My body is also incredibly sensitive to addictive shows, I'm guessing.

Until I recuperate enough to actually leave my house again (though I kind of don't want to since we just got another 10+cm of snow), here's some memories from last Monday's Valentine festivities.

 These pictures definitely don't do these meals justice:
on the left, homemade spaghetti (I also made some bruschetta again);
on the right, "homemade" delicious cake The Boy bought from a grocery store.

Gifts in the form of a bouquet of flowers and an adorable card :)
My gifts to him were all homemade and included a variety of teabags that had hearts attached to the end of the strings saying cheesy things, and lots of candy to get through a week of essay-writing.

So lately I've asked about book recommendations, things you love,
and now since I'm on my sickbed (aka my computer chair), I have to ask:

What's a video that never fails to make you smile?

Whether it's cute bunnies or a short skit, I'd love to watch! Many thanks in advance.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
