sick: well my small cold has turned into one nasty bugger. i haven't slept well for four or five nights now and even justin has slept on the couch a few nights. he says its cuz i snore too loud. he's probably right - i'm very congested and am having a hard time breathing. last night i think the cold moved into my chest. i've been coughing more and sound like i'm wheezing. it was really rough getting out of bed this morning.
pre-christmas party: as i write, we are in pennsylvania at justin's parents' house. we drove up yesterday to spend the weekend with his family. his mother also hosted a pre-christmas dinner for family. there were about 23 of us which is a bigger crowd than i am used to. but we sat with his sisters and their boyfriends at the "young adult" table. and i'm the oldest one of the bunch!! there's some interesting folks in this family. totally sweet and nice. but interesting. one aunt kept asking if my boyfriend is "a dreamboat to live with". a cousin is dating another first cousing (eeewww). and there's an adorable little cousin who loved petting einstein.
making dinner: as part of their christmas gift, we are making dinner for justins parents (and one sister who is in town). but honestly, i'm feeling so crappy that justin is doing all the work and i'm supervising. coq au vin and "sex cake" plus a salad and some crusty french bread. YUM! we'll see how the cake comes out. we needed a bit of white sugar, but his mom doesn't stock it so we're using raw sugar. perhaps it will work.
good things: shout out to nik for making a great dinner on friday night. while the chicken might have been a tad underdone, the evening was great. we both enjoyed ourselves. shout out to jen for being a flexible and understanding friend. this week truly has sucked because i'm sick and she's been great in allowing on me to cancel on her not once, not twice, but thrice.
things that go through my head:
1. when baking, YES it is critical to use a wet measuring cup for liquids and a dry one for dry things (like sugar). justin insists there is no difference and doesn't want to messy up more "stuff". we'll see how the cake comes out!
2. being sick sucks. i can't smell, i can't taste, i can't breathe.
3. my dog is the best dog ever. no if's, and's, or ruff's about it! he rocks.
4. ALL men really do enjoy farts. mostly when they are farting, but they appreciate a good one from other people too.

the chicken was not underdone, it just wasn't cooked enough!
