Rainy weather = pain

Thursday, July 17th, 2003

Oh, I never really liked rainy weather…it is a mess when you have to go out in it. But lately, since I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, it seems like every time it rains, I feel horrible. My pains are stronger and it is hard to even sit on the couch or lay down without feeling uncomfortable. Argh! It’s awful.

I wish I could just get a shot or something and never have to worry about it again. I know that will never happen. I just have to deal, but on days like this, it is really hard. Rainy weather is now my enemy. :)

Girls’ Night Out

Monday, July 14th, 2003

I had a movie weekend. Saturday night, my sister, her friend and I went to see Legally Blonde 2. What a good movie…I will be getting the DVD.

Sunday, I rented How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. That one was fabulous as well. I will be getting that DVD soon as well. I also rented I’m With Lucy, which was pretty good. My husband bought the DVD of Basic with John Travolta, so we watched that last night. It was a good miliary flick.

See I told you I had a movie weekend. Saw 4 movies! All were great.

Melanie from The Onion, has made me a fabulous layout for my blogathon site. I may be getting it in the next day or two, so I hope to have it up finally by Monday. I may have a free day Sunday to work on it. It is so cute, I know everyone will love it.

Brainstorming, Theme

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

We’ve all heard of blogathon themes and gimmicks. Because I’m blogging for the March of Dimes, which is geared towards babies, my theme is naturally babies. So what gimmick can I come up with that relates to babies? Several ideas have come to mind. Every hour I could:

  • Post lyrics (just the verse or chorus) that mention something about babies.
  • Post baby names with their origin and meaning (one boy and one girl name)
  • Post a movie/tv show/etc that focuses on babies…main character is a baby, etc.

If you have any ideas of baby related gimmicks that might catch interest enough to get people to sponsor me, please send them along. I’d love to hear about it since I haven’t yet fully decided what I will be doing.
