Cooking, Sickness, Re-reading HP, and Unbelievably...football.
I have been pretty sick the last two days with a bad cold--had too much fun playing with the nieces and nephews during Christmas...have I mentioned my super cool marshmallow shooter? Good times!
But I get so bored when I'm sick. Plus I just got this super cool bread machine, so I've been cooking. That's probably not good because I'm just spreading germs. I have been washing my hands frequently though. Really what is there to do when you're sick? I made the raisin and cinnamon bread recipe that came with the bread maker, but all the raisins fell to the bottom of the loaf. On the plus side, the bread is softer and moister than any of the other loaves I've made.
Of course, I've been reading too. I'm re-reading HP1, with semi-tentative plans to read the other six books too, but I'm not going very fast so far. It's funny to be reading this first book. As I read I'll sometimes hear the actors saying the lines or see the scenes from the movies. Even funnier though is coming across the supporting characters that I've read fan-fics about and thinking about their various added histories.
I've been using the Vicks scented Puff's tissues, but I don't really notice any difference since my nose is too stopped up to smell them. I hope I get better soon though. I have plans!
We've got tickets to the Texas Bowl on New Year's Eve. I'm not actually a football fan, but Julie told me about the deal on the tickets right after I had seen the movie the Blind Side--awesome movie!--and going to see a football game just sounded like fun. Hopefully I won't annoy my grandfather and brother too much with questions because frankly, I just don't get most of what is happening during football games. I'll have to be sure to bring my HP book just in case. Unfortunately the HP books are not available on Kindle...sadness. I guess I could invest in a book about football, but that would definitely be going overboard. I wonder if there is an iPhone ap for that?
