Sure, I've been sick for a week and a half now with a cold that is holding on like a pit bull. And swine flu has hit the kids' school (not my kids luckily). But there are the graces in life that make it all ok.
Not liking:
- Being sick. I've been sick for over a week now. Every time I think I'm done with it, it decides it can go another round. I'm sure Target is staying in business just from the amount of Theraflu and Tylenol Cold I've bought over the last couple of weeks. (Steve and Ashley were sick a week or so ago.)
- My hair. I did have a couple of days where I was really regretting cutting it off. Then I just starting to think of all the things I didn't like about long hair. Couple that with finally pretty much having the styling part down now, and I'm loving it.
- NoiseTrade.com is awesome. Seriously, so much good free music. Just downloaded Alli Rogers. Never heard of her before today, but she's good.
- Allie Moss. Not only is her album awesome, but she actually answers Tori on Facebook. That makes Tori happy which makes me happy. She's just good people. I wish I had the time/money to go to the Ingrid Michaelson concert on Wednesday in Towson. I'd totally bring them all some Nutella goodies because they are all cool, but especially Allie.
- Wednesday night doctrine classes at church. It's just so good to dig down deep into the Bible.
- Hats and scarves. Seriously men, how do you deal with the cold neck thing? I know how I do, cute hats and scarves. I'm guessing you all don't care to run around in fuschia berets and flowered sparkly scarves, but it helps my cold neck.
- Steve. He's just wonderful and cute and I love him.
So, we've been slackers. We haven't carved pumpkins since, oh, 2004. But that's ok. We did today, well, Steve and the kids did. And they are spectacular.
Do you know how hard it is to decide which delicious Halloween cereal to have for breakfast after weeks of Activia yogurt mixed with granola? So hard I had to have a bowl of each. Franken Berry won hands down. Best taste and marshmallow to cereal ratio, in case you were wondering.
I had something to say this morning and planned on coming back tonight. I just can't remember what was so important. After spending all day at Ikea with my mother in law, sister in law, and aunt in law, including a lunch of Swedish Meatballs and buying more to make for dinner at home, I'm in a meatball daze. Oh, and I followed all that up with a slice of the pineapple upside down cake Alex requested for his 15th birthday.
This was a conversation that took place yesterday before I went to get my hair chopped off.
It's ok to eat for breakfast because they are pancake flavored, right?
