I should be in Bed, but instead. . .

This is so ridiculous! I came home from work today, honestly feeling like death warmed over . . . I mean, my throat was closing off, I felt wheezy and nauseous AND on top of that achy and tired all over. So I barely make it into the apartment and don’t even have the strength to take my fabulous lavender washable suede coat from Nordstrom off before I practically pass out on the bed.

Danny came home, tucked me in . . . gave me some Advil and a few hits of Echinacea and vitamin C and I slept for a couple of hours . . . and now, I am wide awake.

Wide awake and fluish. . . which really sux because I have a plane to catch tomorrow and I am in fact going to Chicago on Sunday and Monday. That’s a decent amount of travel in a few days . . . I need my strength. I’m going to have to invest in some serious airborne if I don’t get this fixed ASAP!

So send me all your positive thoughts. . . I need “The Secret” now more than ever (Becca nee’ Whipple), your positive energy too! ;)

Well, since I can’t seem to rest and I fear talking Nyquil is certain to make me vomit, I might as well relax and blog. . .

It never ceases to amaze me how many typos I can find in any single post of mine. . . you’d never believe I was a professional writer by trade, eh? (Well, ok . . . not by trade, but it is part of my resume/).

Speaking of, I was kind of thinking that “Suite Spots” the actual column from SkyWest Magazine in the Delta Connection edition was going the way of the bison . . . but it turns out that even if Delta doesn’t want to keep our publication on their planes, my editor said they’ll move it to the United edition. So I’ve got a new audience . . . pretty cool.


PS. I know it seems like I get sick a lot. . . but this is a FREAK fall season for moi. I swear, I'm a realitively healthy person.
PSS. I finshed Twilight again. . . amd I decided that my Edward Cullen looks like Billy Elliott when he grows up and dances at the end of the show . . . yeah, kind of like a cross between him and Danny.

Phoenix Rising . . .

Greetings from Sunny Arizona. . . Danny and I are in Glendale this weekend checking out Thunderbird Global Business Academy or something like that.

They paid for our hotel and are hosting us this weekend, so I have to say I dig their hospitality. I have not been tame about my love for France and the possibilities of living in a country with Universal Health Care (not to mention the benefits of choclate crossiants!!!!); so I am game for checking this place out.

Plus, it was 91 degrees on campus today; so we laid out at their pool. (I am going to have to get a "spray-on" tan before anyone sees me, so I can just say it's from the vacay. . .

Their all about "globalization" and all that jazz . . . environmental consciousness on the world stage. . . but I had a hard time absolutely buying in since they were watering their lawns in the middle of the afternoon (again, in 90 degree weather!) Oh well, he who is without sin, you know . . . Danny and I are crappy recyclers, so I can't really point a finger.

Anyway, not much else to report.

I will say I'm feeling somewhat mentally stable, and I'm rereading the vampire books...so Edward is back on the mind. But my husband NEVER complains since he ALWAYS reaps the titillating benefits of the books. ;)

"Think Global, Buy local." -- I think I'll use this platform when I run for Mayor of SLC in 10 years. ;)

C'est tout!

Weekend Round-Up!

Random factiods and thoughts for Friday afternoon . . .

Head Cold for the Better
a) Low Point: I'm home sick and I look as crappy as I feel.
b) High Point: I got to watch the Colbert Report I missed last night. ;)

Presidential Race
a) High Point: I've been waiting to vote for Hillary for ages
b) Low Point (not as low as I thought, though): I would never vote for a candidate just because they're Mormon, but if Mitt can move back to the middle of the road, it would be the first time in a long time I'd be happy with the Red and the Blue candidates.
*But I'm still voting the Clintons back in office unless otherwise moved by the spirit (although, Stephen Colbert did annouce his candidacy this week, so I'll have to do some soul searching.

A New Way to Help Teachers, since Referrendum 1 won't (VOTE NO!!!)
a) High Point: Go to http://www.donorschoose.com/ to donate to programs that teachers can't fund because our education system is so screwed up (especially in Utah. Find out more at www.utahnsforpublicschools.org/)
b) Low Point: There isn't one... The Suite-Mangum Foundation (aka Danny) made a donation to an art project for an inner-city school today.

Twlight Lovers
Are you thinking about Edward too?

Because I can't let it go, and I'll have to be funny another time. . . ;)

Did you know?

• The average private school tuition is nearly $8,000 a year.
• The average statewide voucher is estimated to be only about $2,000.
• That means that for a family with four children, the additional $24,000 in tuition puts private school completely out of reach.
