Random Tidbits...

This morning I am feeling better. My throat doesnt really hurt today.
Yippy.

Gage seems to be getting over his cold. (Thanks to Tylenol multi-symptom cold syrup for kids....)
His nose isnt really a drippy faucet like it had been.

There's a surprise birthday party going on this weekend. I want to go & take the baby, but I dont think I will. There will be other kiddos there, and it's not really fair to share this cold with other families. So, we'll probably lay low this weekend.

Got my dress last night for Megan's wedding. Um, I had my measurements taken & turned in...they ordered me a size 6 dress. I tried it on last night----thank God it has a halter strap around my neck because otherwise, it would have completely fallen off my body. It's so big, it's pornographic. Which may not make sense to many---but lets just say, if I dont wear a bra (& I wasnt while trying it on), you can see the girls from just about every angle. It's a 6, I'm a size 1/2. I was going to call the store today to see if they sent me the wrong dress by mistake, but I forgot the paper that tells me the store name & number. And, formal dress sizes often dont mean a thing when compared to regular clothes sizing, so I really cant be hung up on the number. It's the fit that is so bizarre. And, I'm trying to think---have I really lost that much weight since measurements were taken? I cant remember. But, if it is in fact my dress---I will just have it altered. It'll work. There's no doubt in my mind that we can alter it to fit---I'm just saying: right now, I couldnt wear it out in public.
The good news: it's very cute! And, it's black (which, I'm a big fan of!)

This morning's music selections (quite a variation....) Aaron Neville, Fiona Apple, Selena, Ben Harper, Aerosmith, and some flipping through the radio stations.
(And yes, I'm a Selena fan. Dont knock it until you try it.)

A word about Aaron Neville. I think his voice is just amazing. Just beautiful. I could listen to him sing "Happy Birthday" & love it. I love his voice.
So, on my CD, there is a track of him singing "Ave Maria", and it dawned on me....I've heard the song a bajillion times. I love him singing it. I dont have a clue what it's about. Religious....but, what else? I dont know what the lyrics mean.
May have to do some googling later....

Took a midterm last night; got an A.

I'm supposed to get my paper back on Tuesday from my Research Class. So far, I've got an A in there too...but I'm not super confident about my performance on this last paper. I was just "DONE" with it before I probably should have been. Turned it in, and was glad to have it out of my hands! So, I'm anxious to see what I got...If I did better than I think---then I just might maintain my 4.0 average! Woohoo!
(those who knew me in my early college years are probably gasping. Yes, that's right, suddenly a 4.0 average is important to me, and I actually did quite well in my later college years....)

What else???
My yellow roses are still sitting on my desk...but dead now. Gotta toss them.

Y&R: ooooh, who killed Carmen? And Billy...you knew his dumb-a$$ was trouble when he returned to town as John was dying. Lauren---it's just a matter of time before she loses it....what are they going to write into the script?? Post-partum depression? Her losing her mind & killing the baby?? What??? (I'm probably very morbid for letting my mind even wander there...but I'm telling ya---something's going to happen.) Sheila...is she really dead? I dont think so!

It's Gingerbread Latte time at your local Starbucks. And, gingerbread creamer is now available at my local Tom Thumb. Yummy, yummy, to my tummy, tummy! I'm lovin' it.

McDonalds: still can't do it. For you locals---I'm sure you heard about the rat that was found in the salad, and that Dallas Cowboys Coach's wife & their nanny actually ate part of the salad AND PART OF THE RAT. Gag me. Oh my goodness that is just so nasty. So, since that, I just cant do it. I'll go hungry before I could mentally leap over that image & actually put McDonald's food in my mouth. ALTHOUGH, I'm sure it could happen at any restaurant at any time...it's the mental part of it all. I associate that with McDonalds---all McDonalds, and I just cant get over it.

That's about all for now....
