I'm alive! 

Ugh.  No thanks to the past four days.    I tell ya, it's been a lo-hong time since I've gotten knocked on my butt like that.  I think it was because I had a secondary bacterial thing on top of whatever virus I'd contracted...right after I started taking my antibiotics, I noticed a difference.  Thankfully this just happened to be my weekend off, so I had yesterday to take it easy, too, and today I feel like myself.

Drugs are good for you!

Something I discovered is that Food Network is strangely hypnotic.  I forget how I ended up on that channel, but I got stuck.  I think it was because of Paula Deen...she cracks me up, and I think I tuned in to the last ten minutes of her show just out of curiosity, and then I lost all my free will.   Definite hypnosis.  There's someone staring out of your TV screen with this big smile, talking ONLY TO YOU.  Boring as all get out, and yet I couldn't look away.

I went to Hippie Mart today to pick up a few things and I saw something in the parking lot that kind of made me laugh a little.  This mom and daughter were going inside with their re-usable, enviro-friendly shopping bags...but they were getting out of a GINORMOUS SUV type thing.   Yeah.
