01/03/09 - My friend Carrie MADE this beautiful basket and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. At first she didn't tell me that she made it, and honestly, I just assumed that she'd bought it. But her daughter ratted her out! I called her immediately and told her I was uber impressed at her mad basket making skills. :)

Today has been one of "those days". I've been fighting cough/cold since the first part of December, and started with a nasty sore throat on Tuesday. I've got these nasty blisters coating my throat so I was sure I had ended up with strep throat. I went to urgent care this morning and after a rapid-strep test, found out I just have a nasty viral thing. I'm glad that I don't have strep, of course, but wish I had been given an antibiotic that would kick this thing in the butt. I'm tired of feeling down.

I've spent most of the afternoon on the couch and dozing on and off. Maya went to her "friend" Trevor's to watch The Longest Yard with him and his parents. Evan is over visiting at Grandma and Grandpa Green's. That leaves just me and Todd home for awhile. It's a shame I feel so lousy; poor Todd. :) Our evening has been spent watching an episode of Iron Chef.

I've got some paperwork to finish up for the slaughterhouse end of the year business. And I want to try to get an orginzational system set up for our receipts and such. That's about all our evening will hold. Wow, we lead exciting lives.
