Day 17

Friday, December 17, 2010
Describe yourself using ten words that start with the letter P.

These are going to be in no particular order, other than how they pop into my head:
1. plump
2. pleasant
3. proud (mother)
4. penguin-lover
5. people-pleaser
6. parent
7. patient
8. passionate
9. playful
10. pack rat

Sheesh, that was a little harder than I thought it would be. Let's see if I can think of 10 things I'm NOT...

1. pushy
2. phony
3. perfect
4. pregnant
5. pianist
6. pampered
7. peculiar
8. pesty
9. petty
10. pompous

Ok, how 'bout 10 things I wish I were:

1. physically fit
2. powerful
3. pregnant
4. partner
5. published
6. protected
7. performer
8. photogenic
9. PhD
10. penguin

Hmmm....maybe I should try and get some much-needed sleep, cuz based on this drivel, I'm obviously slap-happy right now. Besides the delightful congestion in my chest, which has given me the cough from hell, which has caused me to have such violent coughing fits that I've wet my pants about 3 times a day for the past few weeks (oh, no, I'm NOT kidding!) and given me what I believe is a hernia, I have been up most of the night because I can't breathe, either, now. My nose is alternating between running and being stuffed up. Good times, good times.... It's just after 5 am, and I've given up. There will be no rest for me, at least not if I plan to lie down. As I sit here in bed, I can't decide which is louder - the wheezing coming from my chest, or Buster's snoring. I'm gonna have to go with Buster on this one. Why does this Dorky Dog insist on sleeping (and snoring!) right next to me!? Jeez, no wonder I can't sleep...
