Fog Of NyQuil

So I had big plans for the weekend. Laundry, cleaning and NyQuil. Had big plans for Friday night, too. Pizza, Ghost Whisperer and Medium.

Plans?? What plans?

It started Friday night when we stopped at Subway to get sandwiches. So. No Friday night pizza. And then Ghost Whisperer and Medium weren't even on. *sob* Yeah, yeah, they had the Haiti benefit thing. Which was important. But...I'm selfish. I wanted Ghost Whisperer. And Medium.

So I ate a Sweet Onion Terriaki Chicken sub and read a book instead. Not a bad way to spend a Friday night. (I know. I need to stop my wild heathen ways.)

Saturday. Well, I did get all of my laundry done. And I got the bathrooms cleaned. But I did it all in between NyQuil induced naps on the couch. Mostly I don't remember Saturday. And for all that staying doped up, I STILL woke up Sunday morning with the junk that had formerly only been in my throat having moved up to my head so that I sound like Fran Drescher!

Sunday morning at church, I swear I probably looked like I had a hangover. Certainly I felt like it. Which, wasn't altogether untrue. I'm a lightweight and NyQuil's like hard liquor to me. My dad even asked if I was okay to drive. Which, I probably should have said no. But I'm pretty sure I was sober if not hungover.

And today I'm at work wishing I'd stayed home to die like I wanted to. And I'm pretty sure I'm annoying the crap outta my co-workers with all the coughing, throat clearing and nose blowing that's going on.

So just call me Misery.

Don't you know you're supposed to stay home when you're sick?! Feel better soon!

Pah! Calling in sick is reserved for near death and bodily injuries. Oh, and flu. A head cold with a cough? You'd better have your butt in your cubicle or you get griped about for inconveniencing the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD.

I know because a co-worker called in sick with the sniffles for nearly two weeks straight and we talked about her like a dog. *cringe*

So, as long as I can sit upright without assitance and my snot can be contained to a tissue, I'll be here.

Besides, I like to use my personal leave for when I'm healthy. It's no fun being off work if you're sick!! ;-)

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...
