Cold And Under The Weather

            Blargh, I am felling under the weather today.  I think I caught my cold from the frigid temperatures and standing in freezing temperatures for long periods at a time.  Today I think I will take it easy, drink warm liquids, and relax and not worry about a thing.

            These whole sicknesses started back on Wednesday, if you live in the Seattle area or in Washington then you know that day was the Seahawk parade.  If you read my previous Monday post, you know that they have won there first supper bowl.  Living so close to the parade route, I was constantly looking outside to see if the streets were becoming packed.  By 8:30 am I decided to bundle up with multiple layers of pants and shirts to stand out and wait for the parade that was suppose to start at 11am.  Come noon the parade starts and I am freezing my but off, I couldn’t feel my toes, but I did have a pretty good spot on the side walk to take some photos (a total of 900+).  Despite being so cold it was cool to see the team up close.  Below is a link to my flicker page to see the parade pictures.

            Thursday I went out in the cold for errands, stupid move.  On Friday my mom surprised visited me and we went shopping.  I always enjoy shopping with my mom, but when I felt that sore throat creeping up on you it suck.  That night my man and I went out to see Spamalot the Monty Python musical.  I should have stayed in but I am so glad that I didn’t!  If you are any kink of Monty Python fan, you need to see this.  I guarantee you will laugh your ass off. 

            Saturday was the coldest day of them all, and it had to fall on our game day/night over at a friend’s house.  It would have been fine if it didn’t snow and we had to leave early because of it.  We were having a great time playing Forbidden Island, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Pix, and Mass Effect Risk.  Hindsight it was probably wise that we left when we did other wise we would have been stuck at our friend’s house over night and that would not have been good for my on coming illness.

            Any intelligent person with half a mind would stay home and relax for a day to combat the cold.  I am not a wise person.  Sunday I ventured out to do some grocery shopping.  Hello, my name is Schadenfreude Girl and I’m an idiot.

            Now I am paying for not listening to my body, and can not speak with out phlegm falling out of my mouth.  Good news is that I have an idea for this week’s party Wednesday!  To a nod to old loves every where I am going to do an 8 bit valentines day.  Come bake Wednesday for a little love inspiration.

Kicking Off The New Year On A High Note

            Good day to you little bots, I see you have been busy hustling about this past week.  For me, the start of 2014 is going great.  I am being more aggressive and it is turning out well.

           

            To start I applied to a couple of job and bam landed my self a gig.  Mind you it is not a great paying gig but one none the less.  It is a short documentary (only 22 minutes long) and all they would like me to do is clean up the audio (not that bad of recording but the found footage is jacked up, but they are cool and know it wont be perfect) and do the final mix.  The director seems cool, the only down side is that I wont be getting it until this Friday.  Now why is this an issue? 

            Well at the end of the month I am going to be out of town, traveling to California for my grandfather's 100 birthday celebration.  Yeah, I get to travel on an airplane and my parents paid for my trip down there, double yeah!  So while I am exited about traveling and having a gig, the one week to work on it seems to be a little daunting, but do able.  22 minutes should not take more than a day or day and half to mix.  I just have to plow threw it and plan wisely.

            This week I need to go over to my mom’s house to get a couple of thing (and my hair retouched) for the trip.  Also I will be doing a couple of let’s plays on my man’s YouTube channel and having brunch with an old high school friend.  It is going to be a very busy month but I am exited and glad that my new aggressive approach to life seems to be working.

            Just today I told one of those petition pushers (you know those people on the street corners asking you to donate to children or whale or whatever) to fuck off!  Well I didn’t say fuck off to them, I saw one coming to block my path (their way of stopping you) and I yelled out to him “don’t block my way, please!”  And it worked!  He stopped dead in his tracks and went to harass another poor soul. 

             

            Are everyone else’s resolutions working for them?  If not hang in there, it will get better soon.  Side not with all the chaotic engagements that I have this month no Party Wednesday will be up this month.  I will do 2 party themes for February.

            See you on the other side
