Miserable Cold

After weeks of avoiding it, it finally caught up with me. That nasty, vicious, vile cold that everyone else has had. Yep, I'm sick.

I hate colds. I especially hate that I had to spend my "fun money" (money earmarked for supper and a movie this weekend) on cold meds and tissues. Went last night and bought some Zycam and Nyquil. I figured between the two of them, one of them should knock the snot right out of this cold. Pardon the pun. lol

Except, the Zycam I got was the quick dissolve tabs and while they weren't that bad the first couple of doses, now they're just...Ugh! Gross. But, I don't see me swabbing anything and the spray mist things make me gag so the tabs were my last option.

The Nyquil, though...I loves me some Nyquil. Took it about fifteen minutes before I went to bed last night and I don't even remember my head hitting the pillow. That stuff rawks! lol

Libby's a little confused by my new voice, though. I sound like a dude! LOL

But anyway, in less snotty news (sort of), Sis1 is trying to butter me up now. She's coming this weekend and says she wants to treat me to breakfast Saturday morning. Not sure I like the bribery, especially since it's so at odds with my personal goals. But I haven't exactly shared my personal goals with her (it's complicated) so she's using tactics that have always worked in the past. *sigh* Sad but true that I've always been easily bought with food in the past.

But I really am thinking of blowing off the breakfast idea. Not to punish her. Naw, I've pretty much already forgiven her, but with my current food issues and my goals seeming to lose enough ground already, I just really think the recriminations of it later aren't worth it just so she can ease her own conscience.

And just now she told me to get rid of my cold by this weekend because she needs a getaway weekend. Meaning, I guess, that if I'm still sick, she's staying elsewhere. Which honestly, would suit me fine. I'm not exactly feeling up to her drama right now.

Blech! I can still taste that Zycam.

In happier news, I'm still in love with Monday nights. Except...Last night's Medium was gross. Severed hands make me wanna puke. hehehe

(((HUGS))) I hope you feel better by this weekend. Perhaps you could tell your sister that while you appreciate the offer of breakfast you'd rather see a movie or attend some other event with her? Just a suggestion. ;)

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
