But one more thing before I go...

Speaking of vacation...oops - it's sneaking up faster than I thought SO I'm gonna go ahead and sign off and let ya'll know that I'll be back on the blog at the very latest April 1st - with possible vacation entries before that- we'll see. Wish me luck trying to get my knitting gear on the plane!

A Public Apology

I just want to say I'm sorry to loads of folks out there whose phone calls I haven't returned as well as e-mails and phone texts. I have been scrambling to get ready for my upcoming vacation, and I promise I will try to do better! So stay with me!

I'm so gross...

...he's only 17, but you can't deny little Harry Potter is a hotty - po - totty!

Shoe of the Week - Issue #30

Wow! We're up to 30. huh. So...I thought I'd put up a "special". Here's a shot of several pairs of Nine Wests. The first 2 are the same shoe (the Jana) in different fabrics. The last pair has more of a heel but it's also a wrap (the Sisio). I'm rather fond of them all but the first 2 are waaay comfy - 5 stars. The last pair - 3 stars. I'm calling this shot special since you can see my Cows' on Parade hooves as well as my Harry Potter collection. Oh...that reminds me...

Happy shoe-hunting!

Dear readers,

...still not 100% but hanging in there...will be back on next week!

Kaiser Permanente Rocks

it's 3 am. i have not slept in 2 days. fever started 3 days ago. still comes and goes. tried emergency room - 4 hour wait in an emergency room chair? too sick. but now i wish i'd stayed. doctors wouldn't see me until I called 6 times and BEGGED for an appt. which isn't for another several hours. and what's the big problem? sore throat. they keep telling me "gargle with salt water". i could shoot them all. i have gargled with chloraseptic, cepacol, lidocaine, saltwater, hot tea & ice cubes. i wrapped an ice pack around my throat. i have tried codiene, darvocet, tylenol and advil (not all at once). and NOTHING is helping at all. it's not normal. just desperate and venting. i want my mommy.
