Jai Ho!

I am in love with Just Dance 2 on the Wii. But Garp forbid that I ever see myself dancing. In my head, I'm awesome. I'm afraid the reality would be too much to bear.

More Basement

Here are the promised pictures of the painted basement. It's already a nicer room to be in. And I think it makes the Wii nicer too - it told me I lost five pounds.

The lazy painter

We painted the basement today. And after a false start with a creamy warm white, we went with a fairly safe pale sage green color.  I'd tell you more but my sinus headache has come back and besides, I think Eric is writing something that will be much better.

I do have pictures for you, but am already in bed and there is little short of a house fire that could get me up right now and my USB cord is waaaay over there. I can't reach it.

Tomorrow.

Soup

When I get sick I always want to eat really spicy foods to clear my sinuses.

The problem, though, with eating delicious hot Tom Yum soup to clear your head, is that it only works while you eat it. So you keep eating long after you're full.

And then your belly is as full of mock duck and soup as your head is full of boogers and mucus.

Rock Head

I am the kind of sick where it's not super obvious that I'm sick. Except for the sexy-husky voice I used to read Winnie the Pooh to Merry tonight. But my head feels so heavy, like it's full of rocks - and not just the one tiny one that's been there since I was two.

I fell down the basement stairs in the old farmhouse we lived in when I was tiny, and smacked my head on the cement floor. Mom just slapped a band-aid on me, but it turns out that there was a little rock wedged in there when it healed. So, I have a rock in my head.

it's tiny

Right now it feels like the rock is about a brazillion times that size.

The Blog Flu

I think I'm finally coming down with the virus that's been making its way through all the blogs I read lately, so I'm tucking myself into bed with my vodka spiked Emergen-C and a DVD of the new PBS Sherlock series.

Think healthy thoughts for me, I don't have any sick days.

The Basement, continued

 

I went a little sample crazy. Right now I'm leaning toward Amethyst Haze, the purplish-gray one over there on the left, toward the bottom. No, not that one. The other one.

I'm not proud

Eric and I purged the house of all Christmas cookies, gingerbread houses and candy canes. Then I did the Wii for an hour. Now I'm considering digging through the garbage for a reward snack.
