The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending an email with the phrase "Regards" again.

The boys went camping early yesterday afternoon and left me all alone. For the first few hours, I was literally paralyzed with indecision over what to do. I knew I wanted to eat out (or get take out), see a movie, do some shopping..... In the end, it took me 3 hours to just pick up a salad and sandwich at the newly opened Panera, and then I went back home to watch some of the movies I've been buying and stacking on the player. I know.......pathetic......

This morning my cold/sinus infection that I've been fighting for nearly a week was worse so I curled up on the couch with my necessary electronics and remotes and gallons of hot tea. I did make a brief foray to the mall to shop because I couldn't waste all that free time. The first person I talked to at the mall - the girl at the makeup counter - told me to go home and get some rest. She could have just been honest and said that there's nothing she could do for me........
