My brain is still not functioning at its best but what the heck, here goes.
I woke up this morning with my mouth wide open because both sinuses were swollen shut. I couldn’t swallow my throat was so dry. Thank God for auto reflexes or I would have suffocated. As soon as I got some water down, my first thought was, wow I feel a lot better. cough, ack, gag. Which is worse drooling on your pillow or being so dried out there’s no drool at all? Dumb ass me thought, oh good Bear will be home and he can wait on me hand and foot. With the bonus thrown in that my dead body won’t lay around and putrify. HAH! He slept the first 14 hours he’s been home and he’s not reading my mind well at all. For instance why doesn’t he automatically know that the vaporizer needs more water and I need more Vicks rubbed on my chest. Some mind reader. Isn’t there some kind of rule that if your married more than 20 years they should know how you like to be babied? There’s not! Well there should be. whine, bitch, moan. My level of whininess always increases as I start feeling better, that’s how I know survival is probably in my future.
Did anyone catch The Simple Life It stars Paris
Hilton and Nicole
Richie, daughter of Lionel Richie. The premise as far as I can figure out, is to take these two ultra rich, spoiled beyond belief girls, and put them in Altus, Arkansas so they can make fun of all the locals, while looking down their surgically enhanced noses at people who actually work for a living. Lets make fun of the farmers!! I’ve been to Altus and like most small towns in Arkansas it has gone through some rough economic times, you can see it in lack of growth and a general run down appearance of some of the older buildings. However, it is filled with people who are friendly and care about their neighbors. They live in the 21st century like all of us do, they just do it at a slower pace and with less money. I think what ticked me off most about this show is when the girls private jet landed at the airport, the soundtrack immediately started playing the theme song from Deliverance. HELLO!!!! You have nothing to fear driving the back roads of the South. You can camp, hike, and wander around without fear of crazed hillbillies. The producers of this show should have done a little more homework before deciding on this one, they have not only made Paris and Nicole look like spoiled rotten rich girls, they have tried to make rural life a cliched Hollywood joke. To bad, what could have been done with dignity is just highlighting what the rich don’t get about the rest of America.
Okay, I’ll climb off my soapbox and go back to bed. See you tomorrow!

I saw a few minutes of last night’s episode, and I wanted to SCREAM when they were ruining the milk. They have no freakin’ clue.
Sorry your hubby’s ESP powers are malfunctioning – hope you feel better soon!
I saw a few minutes of the show, but I couldn’t stomach the ridiculousness of it. I promptly changed the channel.
Those girls cannot possibly know how ashamed of themselves they ought to be… What kind of upbringing brought THAT about?
(and I know all about that *whine, bitch, moan* of which you speak…)
i didnt get to watch it, maybe ill catch it next time.
p.s. i had pizza hut pizza for dinner last night
you’ll have to give me some pointers on how that whole mind reading thing works. if emily is anything like her mother i’ll have to get a head start.
hope you feel better soon.
Sore throats are the worst. I guess you’ll need to drop a few more hints to your hubby that you need to be babied!
It doesn’t sound like “The Simple Life” isn’t much worth checking out, if it’s that degrading. I ctually hadn’t heard of it. Perhaps it’s been yanked before really even getting off the ground.
I hope you have a pleasant weekend!
Oh, and thank you again for your wishes towards my mom. I do appreciate it!
I get so sick of the stereotypical comments that I constantly hear …
Men are assholes. They only care that that you know how to “baby” them when they get sick.
I’m really sick of Paris Hilton. You see her on the entertainment news all the time. Like she is entertainment. You think she would get offended of how she is protrayed as a ”spoiled rich kid”. She should find it degrading. Apparently besides being rich, she has no ambitions and she is not very bright either. Not a Paris Hilton fan as you can tell. I’m from the South and I also get sick of how the only movie they can connect us with is Deliverance.

I’m going to enjoy watching Paris have to work, if nothing else on that show! She is gonna have to do things her little pampered self would never dream of in LA! So that will be kind of funny to see. They do come across as absolutely idiots! Hope you are feeling better….
