Cough medicine with codeine is my best friend. I was feeling sick on Friday night, took a swallow of this happy syrup at around 10, and didn't wake up till almost noon on Saturday. Not only that, most of the symptoms I'd been suffering were almost gone! I was able to go out and socialize at two holiday parties Saturday night and a brunch on Sunday without breaking into any coughing/sniffling/sneezing fits. Yay!

It's amazing how fast money can slip through my hands. Simply amazing. Budget? What budget?

And did you know it's possible to OD on Colin and Hugh? I didn't think so either, but it's been done. But between Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones, and Love Actually, I need a break.

I love introducing friends from different groups who then like each other enough to hang out when I'm not around (not instead of hanging out with me, just when I'm not there - big difference). Better yet when one group is my father and his wife and the other group is my DFW friends. I hear the LucciHouse Christmas party was a blast, from everyone.

I'm sleepy, but I have so much to do!! Laundry! Dishes! Procrastinating! Wrapping gifts!
