Many years ago, when Hubby and I were young and foolish and travelled everywhere by motorcycle, we were riding on a wintery day and hit a patch of ice on the street and went over. Fortunately, the van behind us did decide to stop, and its bumper provided a handy grip for Hubby to pull himself up by. I'm also pleased that we didn't cause to much of a delay to the van behind the first van, which whipped around and passed us, clearing me, who was still down and catching her breath, by, oh, a good two feet.

Thanks everyone!

Nora! I will want a full report of the Blue Ginger experience!!

Deena: yay! So glad the PT is helping you out. I was thinking of you this weekend. I have been using the bath bombs/salt you sent me very judiciously and used up the last of the salts on Sunday. It's been lovely.

sumi: so glad you're not hurt any worse. Stoopid asshat. I hope he scrapes his car on a brick wall.

I have French Toast flavored coffee.

I'm trying to imagine this, but....not happening.

And, speaking of coffee, I went by Whole Foods yesterday. The Chicagoland WF's don't sell Ravensbrew coffee. Sad. So, off to Trader Joe's later this week.

Connie! How horrible -- I am so glad that you guys were okay. Well, are okay now.

My office has an account through Office Depot to get supplies. For coffee we have a choice between Folgers, Maxwell House & Starbucks. I tried the first two because they are 1/2 as cheap as the Starbucks but no one in the office liked it. I made a pot of the Starbucks coffee this morning and I'm in heaven.

ION: Has anyone tried Corti-Slim for weight-loss? Does it work?

I'm trying to imagine this, but....not happening.

Well, I bought it at the gas station last night. I was in a rush and didn't have my glasses on, so, at a glance, I thought it was French ROAST. Instead, it's all maple-y with a little cinnamon. Not awful.

SA, you're posting from Teppyville and I probably missed you. Welcome home. Did the evil airplane air infect you?

Yes, I think it did. Sigh. But I'm pumped full of drugs now, which is always good.

I'm trying not to think of the mound of tasks that awaits me, like moving and taxes and FAFSA and fixing my computer, etc. Too much work.

Instead, we're going to go poke around Cincy a bit, maybe do a little thrift store hunting, head to the comics store, eat Mexican food. I'm big on the Mexican food part of this.

I would just like to point out that beathen is crazy and actually keeping up her Serenity countdown in her tag.

My latest article is so long it got a "Continued on Page 7."

Hi back. At work now. Traffic was awful.

I have French Toast flavored coffee.

I got this on accident a few weeks ago. I was in a hurry and I read "Golden French Roast" instead of "Golden French Toast" I drank it anyway even though I haaaaaaate flavored coffee (well except for chicory, but that's not really a flavor).

It's been, what, two weeks since I started it? Only 8 more months to go! :)
