This cold is a really doozy. When I woke up this morning I realized it was going to be impossible to go to work, so I stayed in bed. Belle and Buddy joined me. They were thrilled to have me around. Belle slept at my head (practically ON my head) and buddy was by my side.

I got out of bed at 7am, grabbed my laptop and flipped on some random morning show, and ate my cocoa krispies. I was on-line for a bit, checking blogs and whatnot. I think I might have watched a movie, I can't remember. I did work on a crossword puzzle until I realized it was time for a nap. I felt like one of the chickens - taking naps all day. Belle joined me under the covers (she LOVES to be under the covers) and buddy joined us at some point I think.

I got up, had some lunch and watched some TV until Jimbo came home sick at 1pm and we watched Inside Man. Sick of being cooped up in the house, Jimbo suggested going out for coffee. I love going out for coffee with Jimbo, it's so relaxing. We went to B&N, got our cafe mochas and browsed books and magazines. At one point someone by the cafe register belched reaaaaaaaaly loud and abnoxiously. We rolled out eyes and went on to peruse our selections. A little while later we heard it again and I looked up to see that it was someone behind the counter of the cafe. I had had enough. I searched out the manager and let her know that someone was belching really loudly (more than once) behind the cafe counter. She went and talked to the punks (they WORKED there!) and then came to apologise to me.

I swear, I think I'm turning into an old lady. I'm sure I was once the kind of kid who enjoyed calling attention to herself in unspeakable ways (hell, I'm pretty sure I still do), but as I grow older I tend to lose my patience with people like this.

Anyway, despite the rudeness, we had a lovely time at B&N. I flipped through magazines and got some great ideas for Halloween and fall meals. You know, I never really liked fall. It was always my second favorite season (Spring being the first) and it's still my second favorite (Spring rocks the house - I love the buds and flowers and the green leaves after a long, cold, dead winter) but it's a heck of a lot closer than it used to be. I'm loving the leaves and the sweaters and jeans, and can't wait to make something pumpkin-flavored. I'm already thinking about ideas for decorating my pumpkin.

So it was a good day even though I am feeling like my head is going to pop any section. It's not looking like I'm heading in to work tomorrow, either. We'll see how I feel in the morning.

Wow, I had a lot to say! Long time no talk, eh?
