C'est la vie - c'est la vie - that's just the way it goes
Well, if this day would have gone as originally intended, we would be doing frantic last-minute packing right now. We have plane tickets back to Oklahoma on Southwest flying out tomorrow and returning Sunday -- but fate stepped in and will keep our feet firmly planted on the ground. Thankfully that's an airline it's easy to rebook on...

So rather than watching Saturday's OU vs. USF matchup in person at The Fock, we'll be watching from the private dining room at Selmon's with the Sooner Club instead. Rather than meeting Christine and Kymberlie during a 2.5 hour layover in Houston, we'll be passing along our happy birthday wishes from Tampa. And instead of wishing my Gma a happy 70th birthday in person on Saturday, we'll be phoning in our well-wishes to the big bash.

All's well that ends well though. I seem to have ended up with a nasty case of strep throat this week. Since my doctor FORGOT to call in the Rx on Monday and I didn't start anti-biotics until last night, I'm still not feeling so hot. I can't imagine flying like this... And Todd kept his vacation days on the calendar, so we'll have most of the "long weekend" together (when work doesn't get in the way). And we'll get to snuggle up to new "Ed" and "West Wing" tonight -- wahoo! Oh how I wanted a night at O'Connell's with my little sister (who's finally legal) though... Hopefully soon.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I seen where they were going to raise the legally drinking lemit to 25.If they do,then I know that my cousins aren't going to like that..lol

Awww, stinks to miss out on all that. Hopefully you'll still have a wonderful weekend cuddling with your boytoy and charging him for your services ;) Rest and get better so you can party this weekend with your Sooner Club :D

Still a bummer that we don't get to meet for your layover, but maybe someday soon I'll hope on the next flight to head over to Tampa!

It was just last year when it finally hit me that instead of my Grandma being the one person I most want to be with when I'm sick now she's the one person I have to take the most care to avoid.

She had to be hospitalized after she caught a different strain of the flu than she'd been immunized for and it wouldn't go away. My Grandmother's healthier than I am but illnesses are just much more dangerous once you reach her age. Even if you miraculously feel better tomorrow, you made the right decision to stay home.

And I can *sooo* sympathize about the strep throat. Had it way too often as a child. I swear I'd put out for a doctor who'd give me a pain shot when I've got strep. It's just the most miserable thing in the world.
