Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama
“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu
First of all, if you’re so inclined click here to go play What Is It Wednesday…
Secondly, I’ve been living on these cough drops for a week now.
Isn’t it pretty? It’s the original Ricola formula.
Laura and my boss convinced me to go to the walk in clinic last night. The doctor I saw (after only an hour and a half) said oh, it’s just a bad cold, here’s some cough syrup and some nasal spray and just wait it out. Which is what I’ve been doing. He checked my lungs, bp, ears, nose, etc. So…I’m waiting it out. Took Nyquil last night instead of the cough syrup he prescribed because I KNOW that stuff’ll knock me out and I needed some sleep. The previous two nights, I’d been waking up every hour, coughing my brains (and I can’t spare any!) out. Last night, it was great…only woke myself up twice and fell right back to sleep! I did have a REALLY weird dream, which I won’t go into, but feel free to ask about if you want to know. So today, I have a Nyquil hangover. Also, yesterday, since this “cold” has pretty much taken away my appetite (not to mention my sense of smell!), all I had to eat was some melba toast, pb and one slice of pizza for dinner. My stomach is growling right now, but I don’t feel hungry, if that makes sense. Excuse me while I try not to cough.
Ok, lastly, I finished Duma Key last night. A very looooong book, a very scary book and well worth reading, if you like Stephen King. He mentioned things in there that made me think of LOTR, The Stand (Mother Abigail in particular) and ahhhh, warmth and the beach. A girl can dream, you know? Heck, he even mentioned vampires! Woohoo!
1. Reading a good book makes me happy.
2. I would like someone to take care of me, please.
3. Golden French Toast coffee from Green Mountain tastes SO good!
4. Saturday is my favorite day of the week because the whole day belongs to me, as does the next day.
5. My right leg is my best feature.
6. We could learn so much from each other, if only we opened up.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to feeling better and reading, tomorrow my plans include reading and Sunday, I want to get my voice back!
The new Valentine’s Day poppet arrived and Skelly’s unsure of this new development…I think he thinks she’s a bit of a princess!

Where do you go for advice? Me, myself and I, usually. I know a little about a lot.
What is the sickest you’ve ever been? Oh, the weekend before I had my gall bladder out, by a LONG shot. Ohhh that was just so gross! Any food made me sick. Lettuce? Barf. Bread? Heave! Ohhhhh yuck. Bet you’re glad you asked that now, aren’t ya, Lisa!~
I’ve never, as seen on A dairy thru concrete; she got it from That’s my answer. How do we play I’ve never? Well, it’s easy, just tell us what you’ve never done…like this: I’ve never _______.

I said I wouldn’t…but on Monday, I bought three new scents from BPAL:
- Red Lantern 2008: Golden amber, blonde tobacco, Sudanese black coconut, rich caramel, black currant, white opium and delphinium laced with a sensual blend of Asian spice.
- Valentine of Rome: Ecclesiastical incense, Roman flora, and the fruits of martyrdom: cypress, olive blossom, frankincense, myrrh, and blood accord.
- Defututa [10 points if you know what defututa means!] – Olive blossom, honey, smoky vanilla, cinnamon, jasmine, sandalwood, and champaca flower.
Good Gods, what a night that was,
The bed was so soft, and how we clung,
Burning together, lying this way and that,
Our uncontrollable passions
Flowing through our mouths.
If I could only die that way,
I’d say goodbye to the business of living.
