Bring it On…
I don’t normally write about all the spam I get here because I get a TON of spam. Most of it in a very old e-mail account with an address that I published online like a fool. This one amused me too much though, I had to post it here:
Want to GET EVEN?
Right now?
Then call: 1-900-GET-EVEN today, to hear the world’s most ingenious revenge tips. (Only $2.99 per minute.)
What are you waiting for?
You’re only a phone call away!
Hmmmmm… I think that we could come up with our own revenge tips, and they would be free – not $2.99 a minute. (Yeah, I left the phone number there. If you really want to pay to hear their tips, have at it.) Have any good revenge tips you would like to share? I don’t have anyone I need to get revenge on right now, but you never know when it might come up!

A Public Thanks…
You know, normally I wouldn’t want to be called a dog. It was the preferred term for my fellow classmates to call me between the grades of 3 and 7. It sucked. But when Shea wrote at Big Blogger All-Star!, “Being mean to you is like kicking a puppy, because you have that insipid sweet in you that can be used in cake mixes. You’re the preppy cheerleader-prom queen grown up. Why aren’t you miserable like all the good geek moms said you would be? Ugh. If you actually posted regularly, I would have to install barf bags on the back of my office chair.” (I wasn’t posting regularly there at the time because of the great bug that has been holding me hostage this week.) Ciscley, the ultimate Blog Game Fan, posted the perfect response. Every time I see that picture I start cracking up. Thank you again, Ciscley. I love it. For once, I don’t mind being a dog.
For the record, I was NEVER a cheerleader, prom queen or anything else like that. Not that I didn’t want to be at one time or another. My cheerleader tryouts were sad. Very, very sad. And in a class of 593 students, the fight for prom queen was a hard one. I wasn’t even in the running. It’s ok though, I mean … you still love me, right?

I Gave In…
I woke up this morning and while the congestion seemed to be a little bit better, I still ached all over. Ugh. It took all the strength I had just to get out of bed. I got to the office and started to talk to the boss. Told her how I was feeling, and she said, “Go call your doctor.” But it’s just a virus! I don’t want to wait at their office for hours on end for them to just tell me that it’s a virus and it has to run it’s course. Fine. Fine, fine, fine … I’ll call. So I called, they called me back, we made an appointment for 2:45. Amazingly, I was out of there by 3:30. She confirmed that there is a bug going around, but it seems to be hitting people with allergies the most – that’s how it gets you. I guess it was a good thing I went in – she said I have the early signs of a sinus, ear and upper respiratory infection. It hasn’t moved into my lungs yet, but it was on it’s way. I was still running a low fever, and she questioned why I had been going to work. Why? Because in today’s society we get ourselves into the frame of mind where we think that calling in sick is wrong. I mean, it was just a low fever. Not to mention the fact that I’ve now learned my thermometer is off by a degree – because according to mine I didn’t have a fever at all. She wrote up a prescription for antibiotics, a decongestant, and sent me on my way. Hopefully I’ll finally get rid of this thing. I’m so tired of feeling like I ache from head to toe. At least I can finally breathe today – that’s a nice switch considering how the rest of the week has been!

For a Good Cause…
I am so impressed. Statia is going to be participating in the MS 150 on September 28th & 29th. (The day after my birthday!) It’s such a good cause … would you consider sponsoring her?
Speaking of birthdays, hers was yesterday and she didn’t tell anyone. Go spank her. Now. Happy Birthday, Statia!
