When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

Things are going ok. Not great, but plugging along.

I've had a nasty cough and a froggy voice all week and my clients are a little tired of hearing me. Other than that, I'm ok. Just some congestion left. Getting better though.

Since I've been sick I haven't been very touchy-feely, lovey-dovey. I can see it's starting to irritate Gabe. How do you manage to be sexy while you are hacking up a lung???? UGH. Oh well, that is his issue, not mine right?

I've made 17 pounds of fudge so far with 6 pounds to go. That sounds like a crazy amount but really it's only a total of 8 batches. They just weigh a lot. I made 4 different kinds this year and ditched the cookies entirely. Fudge is SO much easier. I'm sure they will love it.

I talked to my cousin today about my embarrassment from inviting myself along on her trip to Florida. She said she was planning on me coming and couldn't imagine going without me. I told her I'd have to take Marc since he really can't be alone all day and evening for several days. I'm sure he'll stay to himself anyway. He loves to just sit and watch TV all day. It will be too cold in the panhandle for the pool or the beach.

One last concern......

I bought Gabe a Christmas present just before Thanksgiving. It's been nestled in my closet ever since. Now I'm starting to question if I should give it to him. I know he hasn't gotten anything for me and I'm relatively certain he won't. I wouldn't want him to feel bad for not having a gift to give in return. I just got it for him because it was something he had said a while back that he really wanted. What do you guys think? I just want to avoid awkwardness if at all possible. FYI - one part of his gift won't keep for long so I would have to give it to him now or just trash it.
