Sick sick sick....that's what Christopher and I are...hoping the kiddos don't get it. Ran to store before picking said kiddos up from school...man, craaaappppyyyy weather! They're predicting "freezing mix" tomorrow...Evan wasn't on Channel 4 news as usual, new weather woman...so no creative Arctic front names...last week it was Yukon Yeller.

Did you see the WEC fight Live last night? Poor Pulver. He had some rough things happen over holidays, loss of a friend. I don't think he was in the right mental frame of mind to be fighting. It was very difficult to watch. Faber beat him down in about 30 seconds. Faber was very gracious at the end. They had a mention of Pulver's legendary status, etc. Losing 4 fights in a row is tough to any guy...I hope he'll be back when he's mentally stronger.  On another note...we finally got to see the Couture vs Lesnar rerun Sat night...poor Randy! I loathe Lesnar...I can't wait to see Frank Mir kick that dude's ass. We were shocked to hear that The Natural was considering a continuing fighting career...at 45 I think it's time to hang it up...don't want to see him take a pounding again. He seems like such a nice guy. Anyway, disappointing fight weekend!

Got the line-edits for Shades of Blood and Shadow in the mail today from Dark Regions Press. Woot. Guess what I'll be working on soon? Probably not tonight as I have a muscle freezing up in my neck and I don't think I'll be able to move it here shortly....sucky vertebrae. I think God bought my whole spine on clearance at Family Dollar or something.

Okay...I pressed the children into household chore service on the promise of delivering Pillsbury Valentine sugar cookies [you know I'm sick when I'm buying the easy throw them on a cookie sheet and bake cookies, lol]....so I better go deliver before I feel any worse. The house is a wreck and a half on account of me doing nothing but lying in bed and reading all weekend...oh, with the few hour exception of us, sick as we were, running to Comicon and Chris getting Berni Wrightson's autographs on several books, etc. Then we ate at Fridays and promptly wished we had stayed home. However, the vanilla bean cheesecake I got to bring home to eat during the fight as my "fight night" snack was yummy.

We got our Homestudy packet on Friday...been filling out forms and calling government agencies to order certified copies of this and that all day.

Okay...off to bake cookies, finish laundry, and moan on the couch. lol. Don't get sick! Get your flu shots! [thank god we're all shotted up!]


"Savior, Please"
by Josh Wilson from the album Trying To Fit The Ocean In A Cup

Savior, please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll last

I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Savior, please keep saving me

Savior, please help me stand
I fall so hard, I fade so fast
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am because You're all I have

Hallelujah
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me
