can you spell miserable?

i can.

s-a-r-a-h.

seriously. david bought me some claritin at wal-mart, and so far it has not helped. maybe it's one of those things that needs to build up. in the meantime, i'm considering a retreat to my bed that would not end for the next five days.

itchy nose, eyes and throat. congested nose and head. uncontrollable sneezing that rocks my entire body.

ugh.

maybe this isn't even allergies. all i know is it sucks.

in other news, the shower was quite fun this morning. it's amazing how creative and resourceful these girls are. really. we were a bit frazzled at first, in part because of the fact that i nearly chopped off my finger (really...our cousin, nurse amy, said you could see my muscle!), but i think it turned our pretty danged nice.

i hope crystal felt as special as she is to us.

though my allergies (or something) are tragic, my tummy is full. delana got the idea to have thanksgiving dinner with everyone tonight. matt and mandy are in town. kylah and michael are in town. nanny and pawpaw are in town. and we ate stinkin good. turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, stuffing, rolls, cranberry sauce (the jellied kind provided by me), pea salad and egg gravy. then pumpkin and pecan pies with cool whip.

good heavens.

now, half of us are watching tech beat ou and the other half is playing shanghi rummy. and then there's me. getting in the blog/internet fix while i have the chance.

i can't remember if i told everyone on here or not, but i did drop off my portfolio at asu on thursday. mr. lewis is out until tuesday, but pray that he just loves it so much that he can't wait to hire me.

OK. eyes are closing. too much medicine today...
