IA: sister, BIL and niece all have swine flu

UP: they should all be better by the time we arrive for Xmas

Good of them to get that out of the way before you arrive!

IA:  another crap-ass day at work

UP:  reminds me just how wonderful staying at home & doing housework can be, by comparison

IA-I'm coming down with what the girls have.
UP-I was just getting my appetite back from the tummy bug a few weeks ago and it is gone again.  There are easier ways to loose weight but I'll take what I can get.   :P

UP: I found a really great shampoo at Lush for my hair and so far it has worked great!

IA: It smells like Tar! I mean this stuff better work with a smell like that or no one would ever use it! Yuck!

IA: It's 3:30AM and I've only just finished my essay that is due tomorrow afternoon.  I already had most of it finished but for some reason it took me far too long to write the 1,000 words that I had left.

UP: At the rate I was going I'm surprised I finished my essay at all!

IA: I'm at Gatwick, waiting to go home. :( Also, I was paranoid about oversleeping (not sure why, since I had a ride to the airport who would've woken me up if I had), so I woke up about every 30-45min all night.

UP: Free wifi at Gatwick! Something tells me this is not thanks to Google, like the free wifi at Charlotte.

The Book People came to our work, here in the middle of nowhere!  ;D
I have an allowance of two cookbooks and I can't decide between them all. I think I may have to get the Williams-Sonoma slow cooker book (recommended by someone on here, though I can't remember who) and either Jamie Oliver's America or Delia's Christmas. Grrrr. I can't decide!  :)

UP: DH told me that he found the missing library book (the one I had feared we'd accidentally returned to the wrong library)...it was in his office. 

IA: Why was it there?!  He had intended to return it at some point and forgot.  ::) :P  Thanks for causing me hours of worry, DH!
