On the Mend (I Think)

Just about when I begin to say I am feeling much better I go into spasms of coughs or my stomach says "to capacity on snot swallowing - time to empty". I know, what is with the graphics? Anyway, my mind is back on par - so that's something! I'm not coughing constantly - that's something! I'm not using as many Kleenex, and, and! I have to say that whereas I felt my ears going all stuffy yesterday, they are not so much today. Believe me, I'm grateful for that last bit. When my ears go "south", I pack it in completely.

The mystery to why I've asked about your favourite scents is going to be revealed end of this month or roughly the first week of March. Hope you can all wait patiently. Thank you all for "playing along". In the mean time, if you haven't already answered in my comment boxes what your fav scent is, go ahead - I'll be asking this question for a while. There's time.

My youngest is just down to his third quarter book report. My girl has about two tests and her book report left to do. I reckon she'll get her tests done by today's end. Until then I will renamed her "Little Miss Moody Butt".

Our parish is doing a lovely Marriage Day event tomorrow evening. Mass followed by dinner and reception. I am hoping I'll be in a position to attend, but my hubs warned the event coordinator last night that we many not come due to our colds. Whatever this virus is, I wouldn't wish it on a dead thing let alone a living thing. Even though I am feeling much better, I know I have probably another week to go in order to feel completely myself again. I'm basing this on my husband's recovery. I am also basing my being no longer infectious on when I cough I no longer splatter lung debris all over whatever is in front of me.

Anyway, last year's Marriage Day event was absolutely wonderful. We had guest speakers who speak and work with Marriage Encounter. We had an ice-breaker , lovely food, and we played a version of Newlywed Game.

What are your plans for World Marriage Day?

World Marriage Day is this Sunday. Our parish is celebrating by a couples Mass on Sat. night w/ marriage renewal vows. We did this last year. Now, some folks think having a renewal is great. I beg to differ. I had my wedding - I don't want another one. If I want to have a large gathering of friends and family, I won't use renewing my vows to my old man as the excuse. I'll probably never look good in a white lacey dress again anyway. Don't get me wrong, but I'd rather have a romantic run-away with my hubs than splurge on a ceremony we've already done and all that coordinating everyone headache.

Romance? In the little things. Sometimes romance is big things, but if my hubs ever springs a renewal on me like ever? I'll declare it a good thing everyone's present for his funeral.

Just my obnoxious two cents.

Tomorrow evening I'll be at my son John's concert.
When you first said "scent" I thought you meant as in perfume. When including all the scents in the world I'd say among my faves are lilacs, roses, babies right out of the bath, and good coffee....and peppermint. Was I supposed to just pick one? Oh...and the ocean

I'm not all too big on the renewal idea either. Although I wouldn't be against it in a "just hubby, me and the priest" kind of setting. But he would want the Big Extravaganza and Moon-Bounce Jamboree, knowing him!
