Sneezy, Grumpy, and Sleepy seeking Happy

[chestnutcurls]

It really irritates me when people, upon seeing that I am sick, hold things up in front of their faces while talking to me, even though I am standing a good five feet away. I have a non-contagious sinus problem...not leprosy. Thank you very much.

Yes, I am even sicker today. This is great because I will spend tonight and tomorrow smushing in the backseat of a car with my two siblings, who will likely talk nonstop and probably use me as a pillow. At the end of the journey, I will spend several nights sleeping on the couch in my grandmother's smoky, dark house. Then we will turn around and drive fifteen hours straight to get home. Did I mention I'm not happy about this trip? I'm really not happy about this trip. I want to leave now because the sooner we go, the sooner we can come back. I have to get a better attitude. My extended family is getting older and who knows how much time I'll have with them. And I guess the wedding festivities will be fun. I've just been torn away from my friends and a restful five-day weekend for all but two Thanksgivings of my life, and I am tired of it.

Evan is going off-roading in Arkansas while I'm gone. I'm glad, because he hasn't gone in a long time and I know he's itching for the trails. Unfortunately I didn't get to say goodbye to him last night because he had to work on the truck, in preparation. We will be apart for six days, counting today. This is the longest separation since we've been dating. I am very sad. If you find that sickening, rest assured that the small part of me not infested with cartoon hearts agrees with you. :) At least we'll get to talk. I love you, nationwide calling plan.

Anyway, I hope you all have great, fun, relaxing Thanksgivings full of love and turkey. As a parting gift, here's a poll.

What sport do you most enjoy watching? >> Other
Extreme, particularly motocross stunts.

[canticles.livejournal.com]

Eeep!!!! Try not to let them wear you out too much. *hugs*

[alissamarie.livejournal.com]

Ice hockey, all the way. :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I forgot hockey! I'm mad at myself. Oh well. :)

[admael.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Hockey triumphs over all other competitive sports.

[mszimbolist.livejournal.com]

that is probably the cutest subject I have ever seen. ever. kudos!

Explaining myself

[cafemusique.livejournal.com]

On the vehicle question, other = none.

On the sports question, other = curling. (In fact, I'm such a big curling fan that this year, I'm recording all the televised curling on my computer, burning it onto CDs and sending it down to my brother who lives in Texas, where--for some odd reason--they don't show curling on TV.)

Books: Don't remember anything about Mere Christianity, but I'm pretty sure I read it about a gazillon years ago. I am a very big Mitford fan. (In fact such a big fan that a couple of years ago, I got a fridge magnet that says "I'd rather be in Mitford," and it's still on my fridge.)

As for the so-so answer: I'm OK, but a little stressed about the help-seeking thing, as I mentioned in my journal today.

Boy, I'm wordy today.

Re: Explaining myself

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yes, needless to say I forgot to include curling also. :P :)

Yay for Mitford!

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

Fun poll! I haven't finished Mere Christianity but I'm almost done and I wanted to have something to check on the list. :)

Sorry you have to drive for hours to be with people you aren't thrilled about being with, and to be without people you are thrilled about. :( I am very lucky to get to spend the holiday with Jonathan.

We have a Volvo, our keyboard is wireless, and I like to watch ice skating and gymnastics. :-)
I hope you have an okay Thanksgiving even though you have to take a trip that you don't want to when you are sick. Chin up- you'll get turkey!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love ice skating and gymnastics too. There's an ice skating thing on TV Saturday night. I won't get to see it, but you should watch it! :)

[helenangel.livejournal.com]

OMG! I"M SUCH A DOLT!!! I didn't even recognize that you were more sick!!!

-super big hugs and chicken soup- If there is ANYTHING I can get for you or ANYTHING I can do, dear, just let me know...

But yay for only a half-day tomorrow, right?

[aardwolf.livejournal.com]

Subway has some good Campbells roast chicken soup for pretty cheap... I almost got some today at lunch (but I had some last week and it was great!)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's okay! Actually I'm leaving here at 4. I'm taking the other half day as vacation because we had to get on the road tonight. :P

Okay, I have to know- WHO IS THAT in your icon? I always get thrown off because I'm like, "That is clearly not Helen." :)

[helenangel.livejournal.com]

That's Meg aka hardgirl :)

[anulyra.livejournal.com]

I started Mere Christianity, but never got past chapter 2.

You forgot ice Hockey. RED WINGS!!!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Sport=Nascar, but I do love basketball. =)

Sorry you're still sick! Hope the trip isn't too bad, and at least you can still talk to Evan. =) *hugs*
