I can’t do Friday Love today because I’m feeling under the weather and so do not LOVE that. So you get all kinds of weird – some funny – but mostly just weird stuff that is floating around in my head over here.

• I have been in my pajamas and sleeping on and off for the past 17 hours. THAT is weird, especially for me. I seemed to have contracted the plague that Em had a few weeks ago, only in reverse. Earlier this week I had a sore throat and was willing myself to not get sick and I actually felt better on Wednesday, plus it did not progress to the dreaded cough. But then, literally as I was walking to the car after choir last night I started to feel not so great and by the time I got home I was shaking with the fever chills, nauseous and every joint in my body just ached with exhaustion.

• I’m so thankful for Daddy running on home and taking care of the girls and even getting them off to school this morning. I’m also so happy that we are at a stage that the girls can get their own dinner (it was a cereal-for-dinner night!) and take care of themselves for an hour or so. They got to watch an hour and a half of TV (during the week!?!) and I felt just rotten enough that it didn’t even worry me. I’m sure they are wishing that I was sick more often.

• I thought initially that my joint aches were due to my long run yesterday morning. I had a rather weird out-of-body experience while I was running, too. I have a playlist that I listen to every day when I run, so…same songs, same order everyday, why yes, I am a creature of habit. But I must’ve been zoned out because as I was running I realized that I didn’t remember my favorite song being on (Faster – by Matt Nathanson, good running song!) and so I stopped to see if I was on the right playlist. And when I looked up? I had one of those moments when I wasn’t quite sure where I was, or how I got there. I kind of didn’t remember running the 6 or 7 blocks up to that point. Please tell me that this has happened to you before, or that it is normal to have running blackouts? Anyhow, little weird.

• We hardly ever watch commercials any more (thank you, TiVo) but the other night while we were speeding through a break one of the commercials caught our eye and J. said, “Well, I might have to go back and see what this is all about…” And it is my new favorite commercial. The girls L-O-V-E it! Have you seen it?

Oh, especially the ewok and Princess Leia – so genius.

• The girls are also loving these Annoying Orange videos. The current fave is the Valentines one:

“You are tickling me with your words!” Hee hee hee hee….

And on that note…I’m out of here, back to possibly taking a little nap. Happy Weekend!
