My Policeman

So, for Valentine's Day, I gave Dylan a box of candy.

10 days later, it's still half full.

Don't understand it, but whatever.

So, I'm having a sugar craving which I would normally

cure with an orange, but

COME ON

THERE IS CHOCOLATE IN THE HOUSE!

So, I go into his room.

He's on the computer (really? what a surprise!)

I see the box of 1/2 eaten chocolates and pick it up.

He GRABS it from me!

"What are you doing?"

"I just want one. I can have one."

"No, you can't. You'll thank me later."

then he

WINKED AT ME!

Little shit.

Today's Favorites

Great show about Portland Oregon - where 30 year olds go to retire.

I've been on a Greek salad kick. I should have been Greek.

Orange Vitamin Water. It reminds me of Tang...and I liked Tang. Weird.

I have one in every pocket of every coat I own.

Herbs de Provence - I added them to the soup I'm making right now, White Bean Provencal. The house smells so good!

Sick of Being Sick

Ok, I've been sick since Wednesday night

and I am so tired of it.

I have a sinus infection and

THE WORST SORE THROAT

ANYONE HAS EVER HAD

IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY.

(look, I studied Drama in college,

as you can tell, I did very well)

I didn't want to drink anything because

I would have to swallow it and I'm pretty

sure the earth shook each time I swallowed

although I'm not positive because the pain

was so great I think I blacked out a little bit each time.

(again, drama class)

The only thing that

seemed to help was....ice cream.

Yeah, I just lost 30 pounds and suddenly

I'm on a diet of ice cream.

Great.

I incorporated some ice pops too.

Eventually with the help of antibiotics,

I added vitamin water -the orange one.

Oh, and white bread to take with the

giant pill the Dr. prescribed.

So, here is my diet:

Breyers vanilla ice cream

Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt

Edy's Pineapple fruit bars

Vitamin water - orange

White bread with no nutritional value whatsoever.

-and no, no trips to the gym.

And because of this illness, I haven't

been able to visit my parents.

But I call a couple of times each day.

Sick

I'm sick.

Sore throat.

Cold.

Fever.

Chills.

Aches.

I guess Dylan felt bad for me because he came home sick at 9:30 am.

Here he is:

Sick.
