Feel even *more* sorry for me...

I am sick. My throat is so completely raw. I can't swallow anything without cringing. I woke up this morning feeling achy.

So - - I've banished myself to my bedroom. I don't need the boys getting this.

Mr. B has been really sweet. He went to the store to get me some supplies this morning. Tylenol Sore Throat - - yes. He even got me some Sucrets that say "Serious Sore Throat Relief." I hope this doesn't keep me down long.

*whimper*

Poor me.

Feel sorry for me...

I am SO bummed! SO, SO, SO BUMMED!

Mamma Mia is releasing a sing-a-long version of the movie. It's a re-release of sorts. In select theaters. Not our theater.

It's the same movie, only they have the words to the songs scrolling across the bottom. Everyone in attendance is expected to sing along. Loud. And dance in the aisles. This one is for the die-hard fans. (Like me!) And I WON'T GET TO SEE IT!!! I'd have to go to the Metroplex, San Antonio or Austin to see it.

I actually asked Mr. B if I could go. He was like, "Right, a road trip, costing a couple of hundred dollars (gas, food, movie, etc.) when you've already seen the movie five times. Yeah - - no."

Booooo. Booooooooo!

*sigh*

True Love

Does Mr. B really love *me* or does he love saving money?


It matters not. He bought the last five twelve packs of this fabulous beverage at Albertson's last night. 5 for $12. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. B! I was down to my final twelve pack. So - - I'm sitting on six right now. Life is good.

Cameron thinks life is good, too. There was a tiny bit left in mine so I let him have it.


The Closet - - I'm Done

Actually, I've been done for at least a day now. I've just been too preoccupied with other things to pull the pictures off of the camera. I'm really proud of myself. I did it right this time.

I give you - - The Before's:


This is the floor of my closet. Up close and personal.


The is a picture of the whole thing. *quivver*


A little music and some liquid courage...

The After's:


And voila!!

My rainbow of organization! Okay, I have issues. I know that. But admit - - it's easier to find what you are looking for this way.

Now I'd like to congratulate myself on a job well - - done. Now, should a tornado come, I have a place to retreat without having to rip everything out first. I'll just need a safety helmet. There are lots of photo albums and scrapbooks overhead.

Yay me.

Boiled Eggs

This is why I asked: Mr. B likes them cold. He thinks I'm a freak because I like them hot. It almost gags him to think about eating a hot boiled egg. I told him we'd put it to a test and see what the fans think. I was shocked that I was in the minority.

Except for egg salad and as a salad topper - - I totally dig a hard boiled egg, with salt, served hot.

To each his own.

Mr. B - - there you have it.

The Tudors

Anyone watch this? It is on Showtime. I have the first season on DVD and finally started watching it last night. I watched the first four episodes. (I couldn't tear myself away!) I started episode five, but I fell asleep. Wow. Just - - wow. I'm completely fascinated with that era. I'm blown away by the way these girls' fathers pimped their daughters out. For power and prestige. I just can't imagine it.

Anyway, it is really good. And - - kind of naughty.

Fight For Kisses

Our Awesome Outing

Really - - uneventful. I guess the panhandlers must have been sleeping one off. The rest of the freaks were absent as well. It begs the question: were *we* the sideshow at Wally World today? It wasn't too bad. Justin used the word "awesome" no less than 25 times. The Kool-Aid packets were awesome. The chips he picked out for his lunches next week were awesome. The cinnamon donuts he picked out for breakfast were awesome. So was the new shower caddy - - awesome. And don't get me started on the awesome frozen dinner I got him for lunch today. His use of the word was borderline embarrassing. Cameron was - - Cameron. Pissed off because he was restrained in the cart. Kudos to him though. We made our first outing in big boy underwear. Woo hoo. No accidents. Awesome.

Snickerdoodle Ice Cream!!!

Yes - - I get updates from Blue Bell. I'm not sure how I got on their list. I probably subscribed to get something for free one time. That aside - - I get e-mail updates from them. I need to start exercising right now. Because - - I WILL try this. And something deep inside says that I'll LOVE it.

Wish me luck.

I can't put this off any longer. Time to jet.

Reality Check

Sometimes it's the little reminders to be grateful. I was headed back to work from my lunch break. I sat in the parking lot in my car fo...
