The Arsenal

i have finally reached my endpoint with this whole nonstop coughing, sore throat situation. you know i have reached this point when i not only spend money on medicine, but i spend a lot of money on the name brand goods. here is my arsenal:mucinex, a citrus c monster odwalla smoothie (2000% dv vitamin c), nighttime airborne (1667% dv vitamin c), and good old-fashioned water. and here is my reaction to the airborne (it's effervescent! and hot apple cider "flavored"! sounds good, right? NO. a thousand times NO.)disgusting.

Befuzzled and None Too Pleased

how i feel about life right now. with the large exception of my reverend, life is not so awesome sometimes. ready for a change.

New Again...

ok another new header. i am not open to suggestions this time, as i accidentally did not save it in an edit-able mode, so any suggestions or complaints you might have will fall on deaf ears. basically we're stuck with what we've got unless i redo the whole shebang. and after editing all of da vinci's little beard hairs forEVER, the chances of me doing it over are slim to never ever going to happen again.

Why Are These Not Made for Adults?

my nephew brayden will someday be a jumping champion. isn't there a trampoline event in the olympics?

additionally, i've added something over to the right there...i'm going to try to keep track of all the books i read this year, in chronological order. i just hit the library for a couple more, and i'm going to try to switch it up from fiction to non-fiction every couple books. keep watching the list, push me to make it grow rather than getting caught up in marathons of america's next top model.

Meh

didn't post last night after an evening of errands, dinner out, and reading. got caught up in the new fiction book i was sent for christmas by my personal librarian and time just got away from me. there was nothing really exciting to report about the day...pretty same old same old. i am so boring some(most)times.

Climbing Everest

because of some not so great days i have had here lately, both physically and emotionally, pete decided to perk me up by a random act of teddy bear kindness today. meet edmund:as i had named phil, and huggerton came to me pre-named, i put naming duties on the rev this time. in honor of sir edmund hillary and his passing today, pete chose edmund, which i think fits in well with phil and huggerton. edmund and i have been snuggling all night, and he has brought me much comfort with his cushy softness. largely as a pillow, but comfort nonetheless. the only moment of minor discomfort he brought me was the fact that he was delivered to me at work today, leaving me to exit work to many stares and strange looks - apparently it is not normal to leave a preeminent cultural institution with a teddy bear firmly snuggled under the crook of your arm. but i soldiered on and got him home, and i think he's happy here.

Thoughts?

it has only taken me five months, but after considerable creation of logos and the sort for other sources i decided it was high time for my own blog mini-makeover. i am taking thoughts and contributions on the new header and color choices the blog over, and am hoping in future days to add and modify and tweak just a bit more. i might even teach myself some more good old html and really go nuts...stay tuned.
