it got me

Filed Under goings on | 2 Comments

It’s been creeping up on me for about 2 weeks, actually, but I was considering myself lucky to keep it at bay. It got most everyone at work, but I was still able to avoid contact with it. But then, R was attacked and well, we don’t generally avoid contact (although we did stay away for a few days), so last night, at around 3:30am, it got me.

I’m sick. Sick on Sunday. Drat!

But perhaps the common cold will justify working 1/2 day ~~tomorrow~~ today?
There’s the silver lining.

Last April, as you may remember, I spent a month in Houston. One evening during his visit, R & I went for BBQ at the famous ‘Goode Company’. And it was good.

Well, here we are almost a year later and the picture I took of the sign has now been “published”. They found it on flickr.com and put it in the Schmap Guide to Houston.

Check it out right here

So, that’s kind of cool, huh? I keep saying, you should sign up for flickr too because you can share photos in an easier, cooler way than many of the other online photo sharing sites. That’s just my humble, selfish opinion. But I mean, hey, you could get one of your photos published, too!

Over the weekend there were two birthdays celebrated. My Dad turned 67 and my dear friend, Amanda turned 30!

I would share photos but I left my camera at the 30th celebration. Until it arrives in the mail (it was in Orange County, ok?!) I shall be pictureless.

But both birthdays were fun and joyful and celebrated over good food.

Oh - and I got a new sideboard for the dining area. I am in love. See? A picture here would also be helpful. *sigh*
