thoughts...
how much of an unhealthy slob did i feel like coming back to the office with my frosty while some more health-conscious employees are at the front door stretching after their lunchtime run...
small things...
i saw a squirrel frolicking in a raked-up pile of leaves on the weekend and it totally made my day!

sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away
if you happened to drop by the google site today, you might have noticed that they changed their logo to commemorate a rather special occasion...
sesame street is celebrating its 40th anniversary!
in an episode that will air november 10th, michelle obama will make an appearance with elmo encoraging kids to eat well and exercise. yeah... good luck with that!
this show was so much better way back when times were simpler and being politically correct didn't override content... and also when there wasn't 1 million & 1 spin-offs, specials, and more such as:
a sesame street christmas carol
elmo's potty time
sesame street: friends to the rescue
sesame street: three bears and a new baby
(on a semi-related note, did you hear that they're thinking of making a three men and a baby sequel???)
sesame street visits the firehouse
don't eat the pictures: sesame street at the metropolitan museum of art
christmas eve on sesame street

down with the sickness
ok, so even though i literally fell out of bed this morning because i was feeling woozy and drove to work with the frost-covered window down because i was burning up, i STILL made it to the office today because i KNEW i had deadlines pending... and so just now i sent some completed work to one of my bosses only to find out that he wasn't feeling well and stayed home. perfect. eye-twitchingly perfect.
this ALWAYS happens to me... invariably, when i am legitimately sick, i have stuff that NEEDS to be done at work. so i come in feeling like crap and get it done. but then when all the rush-rush is said and done, i'm not sick anymore. i'm not begrudging my good health or taking my immune system for granted but it would be nice to be able to take a day off when i actually need it.

thoughts...
i'm feeling rather under the weather so i think i'm going to go start purposely sneezing and coughing on doorknobs and the like just so i don't have to feel this miserable all on my own.
