Dear Body,
Please stop hating me and battling against yourself. I am not very pleased that a day and a half after we found out you had a temporary asthma like problem as well as an inflamed chest joint, as well as prescribed remedies for both, you also began to exhibit the worst head and chest cold symptoms ever. I would really appreciate it if you would get over yourself and help me out here.
Signed,
Me
PS. Thank you for at least sabotaging me now instead of waiting until my Birthday on Monday or tech at the end of next week.

One of the websites I read daily, had this as their quote of the day yesterday. I find it quite appropriate for me.
"If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door." Paul Beatty

the entire world served....
Today at work in the costume studio:
Me: *continues on talking and talking as I work*
Melissa: I don't want to listen to "the booty song"
Me: I got a new CD!!!!!
Carol: do you have it with you?
Me: YES! *gets CD from bag* everyone's sure i can put this in? *puts in CD*
Melissa: Hey Deet, I'll give you $100 if you don't talk for the next 18 minutes!
Me: 18 Minutes?!? OK!
Melissa: You lost!
Me: No, I can do this. 18 minutes.
Carol: 18 minutes. Starting....NOW
Me: *mouths 'now'*
That's what I did at work today. I went like 22 minutes. It was impressive. In those 22 minutes of silence, I realized that I have to ACTIVELY not talk. Most people can just not talk, but for me, it's an ACTIVE thing. I have to think about it and try. Whereas, talking...is a natural thing, half the time I don't realize I'm doing it. Whoa.
That new CD??? Nicole Atkins. I recently took some people's advice and got Google Reader (LOVE IT) and then subscribed to some feeds, pop culture and celebrities, and one of the articles mentioned her.
"Take a little bit of Norah Jones, a dash of Regina Spektor and a hint of Ronnie Spector"
And although I'm anti-myspace, she has a page that has her album on it and you can listen to it. Check it out.
Lastly. For real. A good friend of mine had this as her away message...and it applies DIRECTLY to me. "Never allow someone to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option."
