we may be blessed, we sure are sick
Holy moly!
Youngest and I have fallen to an evil virus disease.
We have THE WORST sore throat in the world coupled with very stuffy heads and mucky eyes.
Youngest is at the tail end of it but I only just started on Friday.
Anywho, every year, when K does his Spring Project, I do a little work for him on the scripts. This year I did far less work on the project, but I did do some. Each year I am paid in the form of a handbag or a pair of shoes - or even a dinner out. This year, I'm being paid with this:

I don't really need one of these - I have a first generation Shuffle - but I would like one of these as my Shuffle is a little wonky and I would appreciate being able to clip my music on to my clothing as I am constantly dropping or tangling my Shuffle in my clothing. I'm figuring there's going to be a bit of a learning curve and even had a dream wherein I had this new Shuffle and was changing the song by clicking my teeth. I'm sure Apple is on that right now, developing that idea.
Look!

Here's a picture of a kid who was just accepted to college, eating sausage and peppers!
And here is his brother:

completely unfazed by this development. (Though he did show the appropriate level of excitement.)
The Photo That Started It All:

and by It All, I mean the discussion of my blog over lunch with co-workers. I took a picture of these cute containers (dumpling dipping sauce and salad dressing) and while some were indifferent, one person said: what? are you a blogger or something? Conversation ensued. Later that day it became clear that they had hit the archives when I was asked about "K."
File it under Seen On The Street:

Swedish fish!
Okay - it's time for an Alka Seltzer Plus.

We already had that plague over here. It lasted a month. So, er, I hope you've got a milder version of it.
I hope you and Youngest are better soon. Alka Seltzer....Blecccchhh.
Feel better soon. We are just recovering from the stomach version of evil virus disease. Spring can't arrive soon enough.
Feel better!

I am sorry to hear you too, are under the weather...what a funny expression...
Feel better soon.
I like those big bowls you are eating your pasta out of... I need some new pasta bowls.
I bought a shuffle upon my visit in Tuvalu, in blue, LOVE IT, also splurged on a Nano because I knew we were going to fight over it, as we are. Feel better soon, and I am still thrilled about Middle!

Those lids are so cute.
And then tell me how you like the shuffle. Tim has a first generation one too... and we are looking to upgrade.
We have chosen to not have our faces appear on the internet.
New Shuffle = extreme coolness. The silver one...
