Estoy enferma

Well, I guess it couldn't last forever. When one person in a large family gets sick, EVERYONE gets sick. For the past month now, everyone in the household has gotten this bad cold, except me. I guess I'm not so lucky anymore. Last night I was dreaming that I had a very bad sore throat, only to wake up realizing that it wasn't a dream. It's really not any fun to have a cold, sleeping is just about impossible because you can only breathe through one nostril, if you're lucky! Then, if you get lucky enough to fall asleep, you usually wake up in a sweat...OYE! As if the nights weren't bad enough, I walk around sneezing all day and blowing 'nothing' out of my plugged up nose that seems to be running.....*sigh*. Yes, I know, this too shall pass.

I made an amazing salad for my supper this evening. It was a spicy pork loin, broiled to perfection cubed up and tossed with Romaine lettuce, pepperjack cheese, corn, cherry tomatoes and a homemade, low fat, buttermilk dressing. Jon was the only one who would eat it with me. Oh well, I guess I have some left for lunch tomorrow. I just hope that the lettuce doesn't get too soggy. Everyone else had pork chops, rice and carrots, which in it's own rights was just as good a supper as mine.

It was still snowing today, but nothing is staying on the ground because it's still too warm out. I guess that's going to change this weekend. The high temps for Saturday are only supposed to be around 12 degrees F*. Yup, those are the temps where you walk outside and the hairs in your nose freeze!! It's also the weather when you're 9 years old and dare someone to stick their tongue to the flag pole, hehehe...or any other source of metal. Yes, I remember doing that when I was little. Here's a question for you...which is worse...sticking your tongue to a freezing flag pole, OR licking the end of a 9V battery?!?! Yes, I've done that too...in case you didn't know, I'm the baby of the family with 2 OLDER brothers...so yup, been there, done that.

Just so you know....Deal or No Deal is one of the MOST ridiculous shows on t.v., it just goes to show you that the average person has absolutely NO common sense and doesn't really need money at all when it's handed to them on a silver platter. Enough said.

I miss Ben. I caught a glimpse of Em's profile during the National Anthem at her last basketball game and hers' looked so much like Ben's profile. Yes, I teared up.

I'm tired, therefore I'm going to bed.

Y'all cuddle up and stay warm,
Love Ya :)

Picky picky children need to learn to recognize good food when it's put right under their noses! I definitely would've eaten your salad! And I might be home this weekend. I have to call my parents to see if they'll be around. Bis dann!
