Getting Sleepy

Hello. Raymond got home late from helping Kathy. Now he's sleeping. I'm thinking bout reading some Kavalier and Clay. I'm liking it. I have a book to review called Tulle Little Tulle Late. I gotta get reading! I wanted to start writing here again. I like being able to look back and read it a long time later. We're crossing our fingers to go to FL again. I really wanna go bad. I will savor every moment this time I swear! And I will not be a brat in the car. I will take Chilly Willy, a pillow, a cooler of drinks, and plenty of books and camp out in the back seat. :) Too bad he doesnt have a van! I'd be so comfy then. Well I'm gonna go read before I fall out. Did I take benadryl? I cant remember. Oh well. Night night.

LALA!

I went to the library yesterday and boy do I have a story to tell! I was coming down in the elevator to check out my books, and the minute I walked out the elevator the fire alarm was going off. I got so freeked out cause I thought, did I accidently hit something in the elevator. Anyway I found one of my favorite Tess Gerritsen books on their library sale. Life Support the hardcover for $1. So I go to check out my books and buy that one and the woman starts to (with the alarm going off) and then says she cant, we have to all go outside. It was drizzling rain. I stood outside for 30 minutes! I was so pissed. We were going to Charlie Browns for dinner after and it was getting so late. I didnt want to go without the books cause I figured Life Support wouldnt still be there to buy if I did. So I waited and got the books. They said someone pulled the fire alarm but they dont know who. Then we went to Charlie Browns, which was near empty! They are normally VERY crowded. I was so excited. We got our food quick and there was NOONE else at the salad bar, so no waiting on line and pushing and stuff! We came home and we had set a tape to tape 2 shows. We got home before The Medium started but Prison Break didnt tape. We did something wrong. I dont know what. The Medium was good last night.

I just finished Kite Runner. Sunday at 5 pm. I have been reading it all day and all last night. It was excellent! I loved it! I am so glad I had bought the book so now I can re-read it if I wanted to. I give it a 10. I love the author's use of words. Very poetic. There were alot of lines in the book, near the end, that I want to copy down. On page 359, this was a beautiful line. ''I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.'' The ''disturbing scenes'' were nowhere as horrific as I imagined it to be, from what people had told me. I actually find some of Tess Gerritsen's books to be much more disturbing. Alot of shocking moments in this book. I will not say specifics, but one part of this book, made me stand up in shock with my hand over my mouth. Raymond kept saying ''WHAT IT"S ONLY A BOOK!!!'' He doesnt understand! I stood there in shock. I cant wait to talk to everyone about this book tomorrow. I liked this book MORE then Memoirs of a Geisha and The Good Earth. The book was perfect from beginning to end, every word. It didnt have a so-so ending like Memoirs of a Geisha did. I loved it!

Hello! I am sick! WHAAAAAAAAA!!! I am taking antibiotics that Raymond got from the doc before he left that job. I dont know what I am gonna do if I get sick this winter, cause I wont be getting free medicine from the office now. Raymond als got me cold medicine but it isnt for all the symptoms that I have. So I am taking some Tolynol sore throat stuff and taking benadryl. The benadryl is helping me alot. I normally take that though at night. I woke up at 9am feeling crappy. So I took more liquid medicine, took my antibiotic, and some benadryl. I fell back to sleep around 10:30 ish. Raymond had to go babysit AGAIN! I knew though that it was going to be for 3 days so it's ok. He should be home around 5:00. We really need the extra cash, so I couldnt object to him going. I havent read Kite Runner in 2 days. I am afraid I will forget everything I read! I read online on bookcrossing that there is alot more tramatic things to happen in the book. Now I am all freeked out cause I dont want to read anything upsetting. So I am not reading it for a little while cause it's a little depressing. I wonder what everyone was so crazy about in the book. I see Chelsea's name online but she isnt answering my pm's. She might have gone to the bathroom or something though, so I will wait a while. I need someone to get me Vicks Cold medicine, the liquid one. It's really good. I took that last time I was sick and it helped. That's why I was so surprised that Raymond would get some new medicine, and not what I normally use. His sister lives in Texas so we have been watching the news alot to hear about Huricane Rita. I hope shes ok. I keep telling him to call her and make sure. It's really sad that these hurricanes keep happening. It needs to stop. Peoples' lives are being ruined because of Mother Nature. I forgot to ask Raymond to fix my DVD player wires. I cant watch my Harry Potter movies on my regular DVD player, cause they were burned copies. I hope it works in the other DVD player. My head doesnt hurt, but my nose and throat does. I still feel a bit sleepy, but I will stay up for a little while. How are you feeling Chelsea? I hope you are doing ok. The new episodes of The Medium start Monday. I love that show. Ok I am gonna wait for Chelsea to come back on. BYEEEEEE

I AM SICK!! WHAAAAAAAAA!!

Hello!
Today I woke up at 7:30 am and this was the first time since April that I did NOT log online to talk with my book club or Chelsea! I felt so sick that I didnt want to get out of bed. Raymond came home at 5 oclock and he knows me SO SO well. I had asked him to bring me home matza ball soup and a tuna sandwich. Well he brought me 2 sandwiches and 2 soups so I would have them for tomorrow too! Then he brought me my mandatory sick bag. My sick bag is what I do when I get a bad cold or the flu. I used to work in CVS Pharmacy so I would do this all the time. I buy medicines galore, tissues, cough drops, and a magazine. Well Raymond bought me a sick bag and I didnt even ask him! I was so touched I almost cryed. He bought me liquid cold medicine, cough drops, throat spray, a vick inhaler thing, vicks vapor rub, and a soap opera magazine! I was so shocked that he bought me EVERY single thing that I could think of that I wanted. I NEVER even told me that I wanted this stuff. He just knew. He absolutely reads my mind. I told him he is definetely MR Wonderful in my book! My nose is still stuffy and running and my throat is scratchy. It's my nose that is driving me nuts cause I cant breathe through it at all. When I fall asleep, I wake up choking cause I cant breathe. Then I wake up with a dryed out mouth from sleeping with it open to breathe. There's nothing much on TV tonight. I watched Buffy this morning. I caught the 2nd half of the 7 oclock one. The first one was about Zander doing a spell and all the women falling in love with him. The 2nd Buffy was Angel stalking Buffy and acting crazy and then killing the teacher. I dont know why Angel is crazy. I got alot of questions for u bout that Chels. I hope u come online. I have so much to talk bout with u. I am sorry I wasnt on before. I didnt have the energy. Felt so crappy. I hope I talk to u a lil later. BYEEEE

Hello!
Watching soaps. I woke up with a sore throat from having the AC on at night I think. Hurts alot. Raymond is babysitting again tonight and maybe on Saturday. I miss him alot. I will probably get alot of reading done because he wont be here to interrupt me. But I like the interruption! I might exercise a little today if I feel up to it. I want to loose some weight before I have to see his mom at Christmas time. I wish we could skip over Christmas. It is so stressful. If I had a job and money maybe I wouldnt stress so much. But he lost his job and we dont have as much money now. He still has 2 jobs, but it doesnt pay alot cause they are part time ones. I vacuumed the whole apt yesterday and even got down on my knees and used the hose part to do corners! I'm gonna try to vacuum alot more cause I love the way the rugs look when they are so clean. My room is so cluttered. oh fuck. I just sneezed so hard that i bit my tongue and pee'd my pants! FUCK! No I didnt pee my pants. LOL I thought I did. Ow I really hurt my tongue. So that's bout it. Byeee

Hello! I am watching So You Think You Can Dance. I love this show. Raymond is off babysitting untill 10 pm and I miss him alot. I started Kite Runner but I keep getting interrupted somehow, so it is hard to say what I think of it yet. Time is going quicker then I thought it would, so I wont have to wait THAT long for him. I love him so much and I go crazy when I dont see him for so long. He was laughing at me when he was leaving cause I kept hugging and kissing him and hanging onto him, cause I didnt want him to go. WHOA this girl on So You Think u can Dance, is half naked! Damn. She has guts. Wow is this judge drunk? WTF is wrong with her? She is screaming like an ideot. Im getting a headache. Damn. So..What to do? I dont know. Chelsea has gone to sleep! Susan had to go. I have noone to talk to. :( Well I am gonna go try to read more of Kite Runner while I watch this show. BYEEE

Hello!
It's been a long time since I posted! I watched Fever Pitch today with Jimmy Falon and Drew Barrymore. It was ok. I saw The Wedding Date the other day and it was ok too. Not thrilling types of movies. Im still reading Vanish by Tess Gerritsen. There are some very disturbing rape scenes in it. The story is leaning towards a political conspiracy right now, and that doesnt interest me much. I am halfway through with it, so I will just stick with it. I just ate chinese and it hurt my tooth cause the meat was tough. I didnt go anywhere today. Tomorrow the Jet game is on at 4 so if I want to go anywhere with Raymond I have to do it before or after the game. Maybe I'll get up earlier so we can go out to Walmart or something. We dont have much cash cause of his expensive car payments. I really wanted to go to the Flee Market this weekend, but I'll have to wait cause we dont have the money for it. I cant wait to go back to the library and see what they have. When I am done with Vanish, I might go to return that and Dirty Little Secrets since theyre only 14 day books. I still have other books though, so maybe I should wait. Hmmm. I wish Chelsea would come online! I miss u girl! It's been 2 days! PLLLLLLLLEEEZE come on!!
TTYL byeeeeeeeeeee
