01. I am officially over the stomach flu from hell. My bitch roommate gave it to me, just before she fled town for the holidays. So my time off (the first three days in a row I've had off since April) were spent puking and shitting and being generally miserable. It mainly sucked because I hadn't gone to the grocery in a while so, even when I started keeping water and solid food down, I didn't have much around and everyone I would have felt comfortable brow beating into making a pit stop was out of town for the holidays too. LAME. But I made it through. /overshare /whine
02. Of course, I'm better just in time to get back to work. I close tomorrow... on Christmas Eve! :( I actually don't mind that much, I'd rather work it so someone who has actual family traditions and such can have it off. Plus, Mom and Toe only work half days so by the time they drive in from Madison, we'll be getting to my place around the same time. Then we'll have 36 hours of family time before they drive to Nashville on Saturday morning and I start four days of nothing but work. I'll fly down on Tuesday night in time for their New Year's Eve wedding!! I'm so excited for us to be real family on paper too... even if my maid of honor dress is kind of ug.
03. The Glee: Vol 1 soundtrack has been on loop since I got it last week. Even after my employee discount, it was still $8 I shouldn't have spent but whatever. I bought it when I was picking up the last of my Christmas presents, the new Lady GaGa for my mother and Public Enemies for Toe.
04. Speaking of my new favorite fandom: Does anybody have any good Glee fanfic recommendations? I'm kind of addicted. Pretty much everything I've read so far is really formulaic and cliche but I don't care. I love Rachel/Puck and anything with good Glee!family stuff but if it's made of awesome then it doesn't have to be either.
05. Spam!Time of Things That Made Me Happy During Sick Time:
•
Could Lea and Mark be any cuter?! With their matching plaid and his hipster glasses! Fangirl meet new obsession. I wish I had all those videos and pictures so I could make icons. (Side Note: I haven't been able to find pretty Glee ones! Any suggestions?)
•
Leighton & Seb continue to be adorable. They're always so affectionate, even if it's in a understated way. And he's so supportive! Every time you read a recap of a concert, it always mentions him cheering her on from the front row.
•
OMG! So much Nate/Jenny! So pretty! That is all.
