For me, white spots meant mono.

I just always assume white spots mean infection of one kind or another. Ice cream is a good idea, though.

I know that if I don't go to the doctor, it will end up being strep and I will be in a world of pain for the long weekend. Now that I have an appt, I am certain it's just viral and I'll be putting on outside pants for nothing.

Though once I am out, I am so treating myself to ice cream.

I'm pretty sure getting ice cream on my way to a sore-throat doctor's appointment one time was what led to them calling in interns to see the craziest white spots ever. I think maybe they were ice cream. But I did still have strep!

For me, white spots meant mono.

I had the worst case of mono when I was 12. Missed two months of school. Developed mono-related hepatitis and was turning yellow. Don't want that again.

I'm thinking it might be viral because I don't have a fever.

Also, ick to the ick, Sue! I hate sore throats. Hope the doc patches you up right quick.

Also also, why did I invite kids over? I am notorious for how bad my New Years are, and not just ones I throw. All I have to do is attend for them to go pear shaped. (Worst one, and I think I've told this story before, was the one where the couple hosting found out one was cheating on the other at the party. Awkward. Err, found out at the party, not cheated at the party. Anyway, it was all very bad and we were the last to not disappear and then it was even more awkward and we couldn't leave and the two of us and our buddy rang the new year in sitting on the kitchen counter watching the ball drop on the tiny kitchen tv.)

But we are going to fondue for the kiddoes after all, so that'll at least be fun and take time and we can chillax after that. But they're coming at, like, four. They're going to be here for eight hours! Wish me social skills. Actually it's fine with kids. It's way better than if it were adults. Hee.

Ha! I already have to warn doctors that I have big tonsils before they look. Otherwise they think they are very swollen when they are just a little swollen.

He's the guy that said in interview that seeing Prince made him gay for a moment, and rhapsodises about how much he likes anal. If he wanted no one to know he was buying lube, he'd order it by mail.

10 Worst Dresses and no Gaga? Fail. That Leighton Meester atrocity gets my votes for worst. Glittery back lace leggings over shiny orange spandex under a poufy skirt? Blecch.

Ooh! We could teach them Hanafuda. It's been a while since we taught Native kids Japanese games. Between that and the Wii it'll be a Japanese gaming company night.
