I woke up feeling sick, which is fairly typical these days.  I think this goes ... http://fadedwords.com/2008/11/05/exhausted-bullets/ Sometimes the best thing to do is curl up in bed, hope for nice dreams, and the idea that tomorrow couldn't be as bad as today. So that's what I'm off to do.  I'm keeping fingers crossed for the above, and also that Obama will win this election.  We can't afford ... http://fadedwords.com/2008/11/04/goodnight/ I've had the kind of day the requires a brownie with chocolate frosting on it, so that's what I'm having.  I learned months ago that sometimes you just need something, and if you deny yourself you end up feeling bitter about WW and about weight loss and then you make ... http://fadedwords.com/2008/11/04/chocolate-frosted-brownies/ I knew there was something about him that just seemed... devilish.   I really try hard to bring him on the path of good, but he's committed to being naughty.  Gotta' love him. http://fadedwords.com/2008/11/03/merlin-monday-32-little-devil-edition/ Yesterday my friend Elyssa hosted a costume party at her house.  All of my close friends were there, and we had a really fantastic time.  I dressed as a nun... a devilish nun.  :)   I was very devout.   I also made some kick ass cupcakes.
