sierciaI hate being sick. I knew it was coming last night when I had a scratchy throat that just wouldn't go away. Woke up this morning feeling like death. Asked Wiley to stay home because I didn't think I'd be able to deal with Widget on my own all day, but after I was up for an hour or so my head cleared, and I let him head into the office.
Quiet day, since I was feeling enh. Grocery shopping, as usual. Widget behaved for the entire shopping trip, unlike yesterday. (One of her new tricks when she gets mad is to whack her face into things. Kind of like headbutting, but she leads with her lips instead. It's not so bad when she's around soft thigns, but when she did it yesterday in Marshalls and whacked her teeth on the shopping cart, it was a bad thing). Came home, she napped, I zoned on the couch (watching Tiny Toons, yay!), then we headed out to the mall. Spent my Real Woman dollars getting a sweater I'd been eyeing and a present for Imagy. I just love getting two items for less than one of them cost originally, even though that just means they were overpriced to begin with. I hope she likes the present. I love giving presents, possibly even more than I like getting them. Whee!
Now, cooking dinner (scallops, rice, asparagus) and more couch vegging. Then bed, helping Lorac's mom move, then a BBQ on Sunday. We might even get a Widget-less day on Sunday; my dad called before and asked if he could take her for the day. Ummmm, sure? He's getting back to me after he pitches the idea to my mom. Hopefully, I'll start feeling better over the weekend.

She LOVES it!

And audiences agree it was an amazing and sweet and thoughtful present!
I like giving gifts too. I think about it constantly. I see things all the time that I itch to give people. Then I go to the ATM and it laughs at me and I pout and move on with no presents in hand.
