So that flu I thought I caught? Well, it's not the flu types they are testing for this year, but it is SOMETHING nasty. I got so sick I spent Wednesday night in the ER with Mom and Sis. I got so dizzy and nauseated that I couldn't get back up the stairs to my room, and ended up a crying, sweating, shivering mess lying on the floor by the front door ( Read more... )

For those of you who have significant others, I hope you're having a wonderful lovely Valentine's Day.

For the rest of us single ladies:

I'm also thinking of those who have served or are still serving our country. In my life, I'm remembering my grandfather ( Read more... )

I hope y'all are having a great post-Christmas (or holiday of your choice) week! Mine's been fairly relaxing. Mom was off work for the 23rd through Christmas, and so we had a nice time. No fighting! Isn't that amazing? We had good food, watched a couple of movies (Knight and Day, and The Town - which, IMO, was really excellent and causing me to ( Read more... )

Whatever you celebrate, I hope you're enjoying your current holiday of choice. Also, happy birthday to those celebrating this month ( Read more... )

My best wishes to you and whatever collection of friends and family you are celebrating (or not) with this year. I hope you are enjoying your day, whether it's watching football, eating, reading, writing, or just lazing around - or any combination of the above.

I wanted to say especially that I'm thankful for all of you, my LJ friends. I appreciate ( Read more... )
