dashed dreams

Damn! After not working for 1 1/2 days, due to back pains, I felt really rejuvenated and thought about making cookies. Well, I made the batter, mixed, beat, gradually stirred in, painstakingly set the oven to 375 and then this...

"sniff...sniff..."

...i continue to read blogs....

"sniff...sniff..."

"OH Shit...I left the cookies in the F------ OVEN!"

Yes, my friends, I charred the first batch. As we all know, the minute you smell them burning, it is too late. I am so sad and am currently waiting to see how my second batch turns out. I don't normally forget things of this nature, but my mind was enthralled by all of YOUR blogs! You see, I enjoy them so much that I suddenly lose track of time and forget what I am supposed to be worrying about. I suppose it is your fault. Due to this imposition on my life, you will not be offered cookies from the batch that turns out. Nope, you will be allowed cookies from the burnt batch!

Come to think of it, maybe it is a good thing they took away my internet browsing at work.

In other news, I went against my better judgement and went to an urgent-care facility for my back pain, as my regular doctor could not see me until wednesday. I stand there and move my arms for him, continuously pointing to exactly where I am in pain(he does not acknowledge that I am speaking) and then am handed a prescription for Tylenol 3 with Codene(sp?). I take one when I settle in on my couch and notice that I begin to feel nauseous. Could this be a side effect of the medicine or am I now coming down with the flu that has been plaguing the masses? I do not know. I did not take another Tylenol 3 and the random headaches w/nausea continues intermittantly throughout the day. I feel guilty calling into work yet again tomorrow due to the intermittant nature of my condition but feel a little apprehensive about sitting in my cube for 8 hours staring at a computer screen. This would surely not help the headaches. You all see the irony of course? While I do not want to work on a computer tomorrow, I will gladly sit here and write on one at home. Tsk, Tsk.

I need to get some pointers from all of you out there with fancy blogs. I want to link all of your blogs and I am a little tech-dumb and want to be sure I do it right.

Okay, some of you asked for more blogs and this is what you get. Second thoughts?
