Some people are having Oscars parties tonight
Sunday, 22 February, 2009 at 5:11 PM From a phone call this afternoon:
Friend: Hi girl! How are you?!
Me: (Hacking cough.) Um, not great. But how are you?
Friend: Wow! I'm so sorry. We wondered if you want to come over and watch the Oscars with us!
Me: Oh yea, the Oscars are tonight. (I can't remember the last movie I saw. Pity. I love movies.)
Friend: We had to call Bob and Rachel (who moved to Seattle in '05.) Miss their parties.
Me: Ohhh. I miss Bob and Rachel. I miss our parties. I think I'd better stay in.
And on it went. Don't call me. It's a moaning, hacking mess. My voice will make your ears bleed.
Growing up my Dad repeated that quote "It'll take a week to get rid of a cold if you treat it, and seven days if you don't." So I hear nowadays they're saying the same thing only TWO weeks? I do not have time for another week of this. It's been 8 days now. Some things are better. Many are not. But again, thought I'd better say hi because that's what you do in a blog.
Wow. Mr. Pie's 3rd birthday. And I haven't seen him in 10 days. Wrong, wrong, just wrong...

Brenna and I went to a friends house last night, returned home late and realized that we hadn't bothered/remembered to watch the Oscar's. I still haven't seen who won what for which movie! Now I think I'll make a game of it and see how long I can go without knowing what won Best Picture.
Re. the cold, I think it's some sort of super secret cold war era germ warfare strain that accidentally got out of a test tube and into your nose. Feel better.
Your game is awesome. I almost wrote "I'm going to play too!" but the second I post this, if I say that, I'll go check on the winners. But as of now...nope. Don't know anything. Didn't watch and haven't discussed them yet. Feels weird. And not weird, too.
Hm. You may be right about the strain that got into my nose. It's heavy-duty stuff. Stay away. Stay far, far away. But in spite of that, thank you - I actually DO feel better. Just want to feel ALL the way better. And you? Are you (all) better too??? Cheers!
