*Cough*

Happy Birthday wishes must go to the King of Sexiness, the epitome of my characters, the source of my inspiration. Oh yes, Rafael.

Dis is also part of the motivation for learning Portuguese: nah, I don't plan on meeting THE, Rafael, but the language is as beautiful as he is.....*purr*

I had a nostalgic moment today when we bought this cute ceramic fox at ShopKo. It reminded me of the little deer that currently sits on our front step...I want to call it ceramic, but it seems like it's made more out of concrete, even though there's really not much of a difference there...but anyway, I was very good friends with my neighbor Nicole (bless her heart for still sticking around, even after she moved), and she had a larger, plastic baby deer. So I would take my little deer and hers and we'd carry them around with us and such, play with them, etc. Then one day I dropped my deer a little, and I had what was probably a big "OH NOES!" moment. Yes I just said that, and yeah I'm pretty sure I overreacted when it happened. And it's not even that big of a deal to me anymore--we never glued what little pieces broke off, and it seems to give the deer personality. But I still remember us playing with our deer and having a blast doing it.

Now speaking of ShopKo, I applied for a job at the one on 41st Street. :) Yuup, I finally am going to get a job. And if all goes well, I might even get to work with Megan, hopefully. It would sure help a lot with my nerves at least...

I can't tell if I have a cold, allergies, or the swine flu. At first I thought it was a bad cold or something to do with the weather, as like I said before, I was getting hot and chills and sore throat, blah blah blah. Next day, the sun was out, the birds were chirping, and I was feeling pretty good. Still sore throat though. Next day, news declares swine flu a pandemic. Ohhhhh I'm scared. Although I wondered if I could've caught it--not to make myself panic, nooooo, instead I was thinking "Whoa, that'd be pretty sweet if I did have swine flu! How many could say they got it..."

Well, that day it had also rained. Now today: sun was back out, but with the rain before, I can't tell if it's a cold, or if the weather really spurred on my allergies. I've been sneezing up a storm, needing tissues like crazy too. Curses, I'm out of tissues in my room too, should've gotten that when we were out shopping too. Meh.

Also, I'm becoming desperate for a new laptop. This current one has specs that are downright pitiful, and recently decided it is running out of hard drive space. The one I want, is $699 and on the outlet list on Best Buy's website. I am so desperate I want to cry, it's that saddening. Just so I have it noted: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9164343&type=product&id=1218040476937

I want you so bad, it's like I'm insane. Gahhh.

Finding Cash Around The House? Priceless.

149 pennies. $1.49
112 nickels. $5.60
174 dimes. $17.40
90 quarters. $22.50

Total? $46.99. Alllllll in loose change. Seriously.

And the last time we went in to cash in loose change? The total came out to be $120. Holy SHIT.

Plus, to top it off, I found $60 in 20 dollar bills in my change box. I think that was from the last time....but again, seriously?

PLUS, I think I have about 10 or 20 bucks in one of my pants pockets....I've gotta go find that...I swear, I've never felt so rich! Well, except for when we had $120 in change. :D I honestly want to go take it all, add it to my graduation money, and buy a new laptop with it. I really do! Toshiba has some kickass laptops, or at least from what I've seen...

However, I'm heading off to bed now. I think I'm coming down with something, just don't know what....woke up with a sore throat, then later this afternoon I started getting a little dizzy when moving around too much...then ringing in the ears....then hot all over, but chills inside....ick. And my nose is feeling funky, like I need to sneeze or blow my nose really bad, but it's dry and, well, not congested. And I've dealt with congestion plenty.

We'll just blame it on the cloudy weather. I like rain, but not cloudy weather. Either rain, or be sunny! Grrr...

And ohmygosh. I want to see True Blood now. They just had the previews for it on TV, and holy CRAP it looks hot! The guys are questionable, they all look tired....my Zeke's not tired looking, he just looks like he's....sexed up? Seen too much? Dunno. I shall think it over.

I betcha Hulu has it. I shall check!
