I came down with something last night. I was feverish and had stomach cramps. To top it off, I had restarted my half marathon training, so all my muscles were sore from training and this bug.
Today, my husband was working and we didn't have much to eat. I finally had our friend bring over some soup, but he didn't get off of work until 1 pm. Which was OK. My stomach wasn't ready for any food anyway.
I ended up sitting on the couch watching TV all day: The Notebook, Love Actually, Galaxy Quest, an episode of the Daily Show. I just love my DVR. Hopefully, I'll be all better by tomorrow. I can't stand being sick. I look around and see so many things to do...dishes, laundry, etc. etc, and I have no strength to do it.
All you want is a beauty queen,
Not a superstar but everybody's dream machine
All you want is a place to lay your head.
You go to sleep dreaming how you would
Be a different kind if you thought you could
But you come awake the way you are instead

New Years Resolution
1. Blog early, blog often.
It's 2 days after christmas and the kids are visiting family in San Francisco. My husband and I are FREE! We pick them up in just 8 days.
Yesterday was date night: dinner and a movie. He took me to Jasper's Peak, the new neighborhood restaurant. I had the creole pasta. I love me that andouille sausage. The blue moon had a lemon slice though (Gasp! Sacriledge! "Many wheat beers are served with a slice of lemon. Blue Moon, however, is traditionally served with a slice of orange, as it is said to accentuate the flavor of the brew. Some beer drinkers do not prefer fruit slices in their beer, since they believe the citric acid can eliminate the beer's frothy head.")
Then we went to watch "We Are Marshall". We haven't been to a movie in so long. And frankly, the experience was not at all desirable anymore. Who wants to sit and watch a movie with a bunch of complete strangers. Yeah, they were mostly ok during the movie, but the banter before and after the show, I could do without. There was one cell phone that rang during the film and one person several rows in front continued to scroll through the menus on their cell phone, although quiet, the luminescence from the phone was distracting.
The movie was all right. I really like Matthew McConaughey, but his sideways talk was starting to bug me. I think my favorite actor in the film would have to be Anthony Mackie. He did great in his role as one of the 4 surviving team members. He just looked like he had this huge weight on his shoulders to keep the Marshall Team going and when Coach Red Dawson (Matthew Fox) finally convinced him that he'd done enough, you felt all that relief. The big surprise of the night...I didn't cry! I get so emotional in movies, too. I cried during "Drop Dead Fred!" fergoodnesakes! But not a tear for this one.
It was still a nice time out.
