Just another entry....

I love turkeys. I don't know why, but I just do. I have a few of them sitting around the house right now. Something about them just makes me feel good....

Anyway....not much happening around here. I think I'm in a slump. I've got the usual apppointments scheduled for the kids, (dentist, doctor, etc.), my never ending sewing, my crabby husband....nothing new or exciting. Sometimes I think I am a desperate houswife, but no one would want to watch an hour of my life. First of all, I'm way over the weight limit for that show (what is it with all those beautiful, almost-anorexic housewives? Do they really exsist? Have you ever seen one? And I mean a REAL skinny housewife, who actually works around the house....not the "My husband is an executive and I drive the beemer to the manicurist every day" kind!  The show is definately written by a man, or at least cast by one....) Secondly, I don't know my neighbors well enough to be invited into their homes, let alone just walking in and striking up a conversation. And thirdly, there are absolutely NO hunks on this street worth flirting with! So, I suppose it won't matter that I am sneezing and coughing, and look like crap warmed over....as I doubt producers from ABC are going to be knocking down my door any time soon.

I need to make a "Halls" run today....nothing sooths my sore throat and cough like a "Halls Mentholyptus". (Hmmmm, advertising in journals. I wonder if I could get paid for that?!) But it's true....sometimes I even sleep with them tucked safely between my cheek and gum. I just ate my last one, and my throat is so scratchy. Weird thing is dh just called and asked if we had any lozenges because his throat is scratchy. Guess which one of us will be out buying a bag today? The one who is already dressed and at work, with a wee little sore throat, or the one who is home in her pj's, sneezing her way through a box of kleenex? Uh huh....and I'll have to buy two bags because he likes the strawberry flavored ones (ewwwwww), while I prefer the cherry (yummmm). Although I will alsogo with the honey lemon, or original flavor. Do they still sell them in the individual square shapes? I used to love those as a kid. I don't know why. I'm rather picky when it comes to a throat lozenge. They have to taste medicinal to work....or at least that is my personal theory. My mom likes the ones that taste like a piece of hard candy....Smith Brothers I think. I'm like, why don't you just suck on a tootsie pop? At least then you get some chocolate in the deal! I tried the Riccola....can we say gross? Those were just nasty. There is one other kind that I will take as a substitute. They are the Celestial Seasonings Herbal Throat Drops in orange. They are very good....but hard to find down here.

Well, the girls are at school, dh is at work, and the house is quiet. I suppose it's time to do a quick pick up, take a shower and head out to run errands. That or get back in bed....hmmmmmm....
