REAL LIFE UPDATE
It seems like I haven't posted since forever.
Some things going on...
I just recovered from a very weird virus. I had head cold symptoms, particularly sinus headaches and congestion, for which I used zinc and drinking apple cider vinegar in hot water with much success. But the other effects of this thing were extreme fatigue followed by two days of excruciating joint pain limited to the hip joints and radiating down into the thigh muscles. I work for a doctor and he said there were several patients with the same thing. One little girl 9 years old had to be wheeled in by her parents in a stroller because she couldn't walk! I had to go home early on Thursday because I couldn't get around too well. thank god it's gone now. These viruses are murder!
Sean's 8th birthday was yesterday. He had a great day. Went shopping from noon till 3:30 PM and he got everything he wanted, including McDonald's for lunch. His favourite is the cheeseburger. Then he got to go to Chuck-E-Cheese with Jamie and Kari. They kept him out until 9 PM, then came home for birthday cake. He feels all grown up now. :)
My travel agent has booked my flights to Spain and Germany, but he's got me on Air France. I know he was trying to save me money and he did...but didn't Air France have two planes that went down in the past year? :(
He is trying to get me the hotels I want but wasn't able to get the one in Bilbao that I wanted! :(
Anyway, I'll be leaving on December 1st, a bit more than two weeks away. I am getting really excited! XD
Some Discoveries...
I've just finished watching the first season of '24', a series I can't believe I never watched before. It's so suspenseful and just the type of thing I like...sometimes you have to suspend belief but it's worth it. What a great series!
Thanks to a flister I have been using phosphate-free shampoo and it has made my hair MUCH better! Shinier, healthier-looking...it's fantastic! I had used a fast-acting hair dye (works in 10 minutes) that practically burnt my hair off and left it dry and dull. But the shampoo...made by L'Oreal...has done a fantastic job of bringing it back to life. :)
Strivectin face cream that gets rid of your wrinkles. This stuff really works, trust me. It's expensive, but I got a free sample tube when I bought some Lancome products and it's really miraculous, especially in our skin-drying winter weather. :)
I've also finished watching several South American films, a few of which were outstanding. I'm going to be reviewing them soon. They are really stunning. Two from Colombia, one from Uruguay and one from Chile. :)
Okay, I am so behind on picspamming it's ridiculous. I may just limit my pics posts to my favourite teams and/or players exclusively until things settle back to normal for me. :)
