Happy New Year ?

2010 began with a whimper - from me - courtesy of the waking up with the worst headache in recent memory. I know what you're thinking: last night was New Years Eve....too much champagne perchance? Um, no. I did not even have a sip at midnight. I was The Driver so I limited myself to Sprite Zero (ok, and a small dash of pinot over a 7 hour period).

No, this was pure sinus. On the way home last night, my eyes started hurting, probably from the smoke from the oyster pit. This morning, I had a full-blown Headache from the Deepest Reaches of Hell. Wish I was exaggerating there.

It's now 7:15 PM and after
*2 cups of coffee
*2 extra strength excedrin
*1 claritin
*3 hours of lying down watching Lifetime movies
* Lovey's headache cocktail of 2 tylenol taken simultaneously with 2 advil
* Lying in bed another hour and a half, crying my head hurt so badly

I am now left with only a dull ache at the base of my head. And for that I am grateful.

There's lots I want to get accomplished in 2010 which I will get to tomorrow (thanks, Scarlett) since I'm taking a Mulligan for today.

It's Been a While....

The story goes that my college friend's sister was carded one night. The bouncer looked at her license then back at her and commented "125 lbs?" She snatched the licence out of his hand and said "It's been awhile!"

So it goes with the little neglected blog.

Work has been quite crazy. I've been swimming upstream for a few months now and my arms and brain are exhausted.

In the new year, I promise to be more vigilant in bringing the snark. I've got plenty of material fer sure.

In the meantime, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND SEE YOU IN 2010!!!

I Watched Nie!

I so jinxed myself with that last post. Monday was H.E.L.L. And Tuesday was kind of Meeeh...

But today nienie was on Oprah. And she and Christian were awesome! It's weird how blogging introduces you to people who feel like they become your friends - although most days I feel too mean-spirited to be in the same room as Nie. No matter how bad your day is....if you just read a little bit of her blog...and her days....you feel somehow uplifted...and all of a sudden...you want to be a better person because of her. She will make your day and put your perspective on life in order.

Veg-o-matic!

Ahhhh, a lazy day. The joy of doing abSOLUTEly nothing in particular.

Deep condition hair? Check, this time with some Shear Splendor "hair marinating oil"
Polished nails? Check, Nicole by opi, Show You Care
Watched back DVR'd things? Check, all caught up on Army Wives and Drop Dead Diva
Also watched a random Lifetime movie, Untraceable and currently popping on Seven Pounds (which I hear I will bawl through). Sigh...

Man, I so needed just to make like a potato today. I just might make it through the work week now!

C.L.E.M.S.O.N!

I thought since I was watching the game right now, I'd go back and post a few pictures from the soggy game a few weeks ago.

The benefit of 70% chance of rain is that Tiger Walk is not that crowded.


Who got da cutest coach? We do! It Dabo!


I'm not sure who this is, but the suit.....that suit rocks!


Kyle Parker, hotshot freshman quarterback....who needs a haircut.


Michael Wade: way-back-up quarterback, holder, brooder.


Landon Walker aka Mr. Kissy Lips


Thomas Austin who just false-started! Really? Still liked your speech at the IPTAY meeting.


I love Korn. This is Willie.


Another incredible suit.


No. This doesn't make me feel old at all. Is this guy even old enough to drive at night?




And did I leave Clemson without taking a random nature picture? Of course not...

How the...

How is it that I was up at 8 to be at work at 11 and was STILL late? Hash rounds.

Are You Ready for Some Football???

Tick...tick...tick....it's almost time!!!
