Boo....

So its the absolute busiest time of the year....and guess what????? I'm sick! Boo. The to-do list is a mile long, the house is still recovering from baklava weekend, and the turtles are begging for baths. All I want to do is lay around and watch a marathon of Sex and the City or other such mindless pursuits. There are two things required when I'm sick. One is Mrs. Grass Soup. Yes, now I am probably capable of making homemade chicken stock and actual soup, but who feels like doing that when they're sick? Mrs. Grass is one of the few processed childhood foods that I still crave. (see also: Salt and Vinegar chips, kool-aid, and tater tots). I swear this stuff makes me feel better......much better than standing in the kitchen while I'm sick chopping celery and onions for stock.

Necessary sick item number two is actually something that I do not have in house, and am so craving but do not have anyone to call to go fetch it for me. There is a Wild Oats Market pretty close to here, but that would necessitate taking off my flannel PJs, going to get gas, and then driving there. Not very likely to happen. Anyway, Odwalla Strawberry C-Monster is well worth its exhorbitant price tag. It tastes like a mouthful of fresh strawberries, and makes you feel instantly healthy. I guess that is what mainlining vitamin C does to you. You can bet I'll be picking up some of this when I head to the bank and dry cleaner tomorrow am.....

Ok, time to watch CSI and cuddle with the cheetah....
