...Went to a new cupcake shop that just opened in our cute little downtown main street. I decided on a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting, and Colby had a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. Clearly, I have failed spectacularly at my Lenten promise.
...Bought dahlia bulbs and tulip sprouts to plant in a few weeks. I cannot wait for that first burst of beautiful spring color!!
...Spent Saturday night filing our taxes. Well, in all fairness, Colby put in most of the effort, but I helped when it came to itemizing our donations, and we finished with only a bare minimum of head biting. Now we just have to sit back and wait for the almost 5 G's to come rolling in. I kind of love tax season...
... Received my shoes from Endless AND Zappos and began testing them for The Great Shoe Quest! Hooray! Apparently Zappos does still ship shoes overnight? I don't know. I'm confused, but I'm not questioning it further. A few of the shoes were too big, so new sizes have been ordered and results will definitely be posted by the end of this week!
... Surrounded myself with pink grapefruit Airborne and Kleenex. Yesterday, I only moved from the couch four or five times, and that was just to go to the bathroom or to harass Colby into making me chicken noodle soup. Imagine the most annoying sick person in the world, and then multiply that by ten and that's me when I have a cold.
I'm at work today, infecting the rest of the office because I'm all out of sick days and I'll be damned if I'm going to use a personal vacation day because I don't feel 100% great. How was your weekend?
Dude I wish my tax return totaled 5G's. lucky!
Feel better soon!

Sweet lord, those cupcakes look delish! Also, hope you're starting to feel better!

Oh I'm so glad you had a good weekend, too! So if you can have cupcakes, that means you will indulge with me and have a diet cherry chocolate dr pepper?!?? I'm planning to bring a 12-pack to the office for us to share!

Well..... I whined and moaned and groaned and hacked all weekend. I keep flashing back and forth between sweating and freezing and I sound like someone who's been smoking since she was 10.
I already told my boss that I'll be working form home tomorrow.
I feel really gross.

My weekend was pretty boring, compared to yours. I sat around a little bit. And then I bought some pants. And then I ... uh ... sat around some more?
Feel better soon!

I don't know what is worse, being sick or having to drink that Airborne?!
Infect them all, they should have been nicer about your honeymoon. Go breathe on your supervisor, that will teach her!
Military couples NEED their honeymoons, don't put it off 4.5 years like we did!
Keep you vacay days!

I had some pretty dahlias for awhile one year. (before I killed them) The cupcakes look yummy! I bought shoes this weekend, and made a mayhaw cake. (I know you know what a mayhaw is!) I also did a truckload of laundry.

Those cupcakes look delicious! I am also a fan of tax season...I'm looking forward to using my refund for some home improvements, and some shoes!
Hope you are feeling better!

So, I know we aren't Catholic... so we don't TECHNICALLY have to do the Lenten thing... but I think if you SAY you're going to do it, and then don't... God might just smite you.
I mean, I ate olives (which I gave up... and the next day I was supa sick)... you ate cupcakes and... supa sick...
just a theory.

New news today! The makers of Airborne are paying a $324 million fine for false advertising. The "double blind study" they claimed was a fake and Airborne has been found to be nothing more than the most expensive Vitamin C delivery system in the history of magic cure scams. Independent studies have shown than Airborne does nothing to prevent, diminish the symptoms of, or cure a cold. It's just Vitamin C. The settlement allows anyone to get a refund of every box they've ever bought (if they have receipts) or 6 refunds if you don't have receipts.

Are you allowed to pick something else to give up for Lent? How does Lent work in your religion? In the Orthodox church, Lent means going completely Vegan for 40 (or maybe 55?) days. We don't just avoid meat, fish, and dairy, we have to read the ingredients on EVERYTHING to make sure it doesn't contain any of those things. I feel guilty, but I'm probably not going to start participating in this dietary torture until the last week of it or something.
And Old Warrior beat me to what I was going to say about Airborne. But maybe there's a placebo effect?
