Oops!!!

Dear QotD?ers,

I seem to be 12 hours late! You see, today was a no-work day. I slept until 10. Then I showered. Then I went boardshort/swimsuit shopping for the Schlitterbahn trip tomorrow. Then I had a nap. Then I did some other things. THEN I turned on the computer, checked my e-mail and then I realized that it was Friday and I hadn't asked you a question yet. Oops!!!

1) Jennifer is now engaged to the younger brother of a former OM teammate. Congratulations!

in a rut/ I'm craaaAaaAzy

Dear QotD?ers,

Either I didn't set my alarm last night or I turned it off without waking up this morning. I managed to get ready, enough to ride the van at least, in 7 minutes. I'm impressed with myself.

In other news, I'm wearing my surfing monkey socks. I don't anticipate anything to exciting today so I don't know what else to share with you.

oh! I can give you an update on the almond situation. A week or two ago I reported that one serving of almonds was 8 almonds. What the package was actually telling me was that a serving is 1/4 cup of almonds, and that there are 8 servings in the package. But I've started eating almonds in batches of 8 anyway.

Today's Question of the Day? is:
What are you allergic to?

7th Annual Mucky Muck Day!

Dear QotD?ers,

It's the 7th Annual Mucky Muck Day! July 16th is a QotD? holiday in which you have the opportunity to do something very mucky. Maybe it's playing in the mud, cleaning bathrooms, a day of tedious classes, being stuck in traffic jams.. just about anything that could be messy or unpleasant. Get to it!

Yesterday I got to introduce our yankee interns to okra. They had never even heard about it : o

Today's Question of the Day? is:
What are you going to do for Mucky Muck Day?

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Dear QotD?ers,

Did Duran Duran know that the Rio Grande was not that glamorous of a river?

Last night at yoga class, we were working on a pretty intense progression of poses. Halfway through class time I started getting really hot and sweating more than usual at class. I assumed that I was 1) working much harder 2) possibly experiencing a return of my fever. The reason it was getting so hot was actually a combination of 1) and 3) the air conditioner stopped working. So, thank goodness I didn't have a fever but GOOD HEAVENS it was hot in there. It was actually cooler outside, in Texas.

Imagine that you and your boss are going to a meeting requiring a one hour road trip. You will be driving

Today's Question of the Day? is:
What station would you play on the radio?

Did anybody get that it was deoderant?

Dear QotD?ers,

Over the weekend my illness went from my throat to my nose. I'm actually very surprised by how great my throat feels compared to Friday. My voice is still gravely, though. No fever today, so I came to work with some medicine and some oatmeal*.

Jelly Belly jelly beans are amazing.

Today's Question of the Day? is:
What was the last movie you watched (either in the theatre or at home)?

P.S. *Apples & Cinnamon!

Arctic Apple by Secret Platinum

Dear QotD?ers,

Yesterday's title came from the perfume I was wearing. I'm continuing that today.

I need to warn you all not to lick QotD? today, as I'm finally getting sick with some of what Justin had. I don't have a fever, swollen tonsils or a sinus infection, but do have post-nasil drip causing a raw throat. My voice sounds odd.

It's Friday, and we are going to a free movie in the park tonight (if I don't feel worse). "Nim's Island" didn't look good enough to see in the theatre, but it does look gooe enough for FREE.

Today's Question of the Day? is:
How do you like your tea*?
Love,
The Asker
P.S. Have a good weekend!
P.P.S *hot or iced!

Princess by Vera Wang

Dear QotD?ers,

Last night I made ps'mores (psuedo s'mores). They are incredibly messy, but mostly delicious.
1) melt chocolate chips
2) dip one side of a graham craker square in melted chocolate
3) make a bunch of those and put them in the freezer for the chocolate to set
4) take them out and smear marshmallow fluff on the chocolate side
5) take an unsmeared square and sandwhich the fluff
CAUTION: chocolate and marshmallow fluff will ooze
CAUTION: chocolate is likely to get underneath fingernails making it look like you have a hygene problem, but you don't, you just have delicious fingernails

Today's Question of the Day? is:
Did you have a childhood blanket or stuffed animal that you loved so much? Do you still have it?
Love,
The Asker
P.S. I am ready for the second invasion of Indian music into American mainstream.
