Nov. 18: Misc stuff Jen has to say

I would have posted yesterday but I worked almost all day. I could have posted last night but I ended up reading (begrudgingly) and spending way too much time chatting with two old friends on Facebook. I’d like to post something worthwhile this morning but I’m headed in to work again. Maybe this afternoon?

Here, to tide you over until then, are some miscellaneous things.

• Today is the first day in almost two weeks that I woke up feeling like I am NOT about to die. The cough is disappearing! My fallopian tubes are relieved, even though Sherilee has so sensitively pointed out that I no longer even need my fallopian tubes. I’m still glad not to be hacking up vital or non-vital organs.
  
• Woman sentenced to prison for running down boyfriend in RV. Tis true; the line between love and hate is very fine. I know this isn’t a funny story, but the headline itself made me laugh. Clearly, I need some serious psychiatric help. But just imagining how the scene might have played out—in a Chevy Chase comedy, probably—puts a pretty silly picture in my head. Of course, in the movie version nobody would die and the scorned woman would not get prison time so much as laughs.
  
• Remember this post about foods everyone should try in their lifetime? I got 34/100. Sonya e-mailed me this morning to say she got 86/100. She is scary-brave when it comes to food. I know I should think she’s really cool because of this, but it’s hard to get past that initial “ugh!” response because I know the kinds of things that are on that list! Sorry, Sonya. I still love you but will probably begin inspecting your prepared dishes for horse meat or other not-meant-to-be-eaten things you’ve snuck in to freak me out. Because I’ve heard about the food pranks you played on Ted and Daryl over the years...

I really need to get dressed and out the door so that’s it for now. I guarantee some greatness later on.
