All of the sudden, this week, I woke up one day with a sore throat. Then, my throat got better, but my sinuses started to clog up. It just went downhill from there.
Still no fever, and my sore throat is basically gone. But, oh my heck — the sinus pressure! And I have no idea how many tissues I have used at this point. Do you know how I know it’s really bad? I had to try twice to use the Neti Pot
last night and couldn’t (it wouldn’t flow through). I finally had to take Sudafed and try it again an hour later. So not good!

These last few months have been so crazy busy, and I’m just so tired. So very tired.
Loved the Advent Conspiracy video last year, so I was happy to see a new one this year. (I tried to post it right here, but it was tried to take over the sidebar too. So, I’ll just link you over to it on You Tube.)

Speaking of Advent reminds me of Christmas. Can you believe that I got my first Christmas card for the year last week?
Okay, before you freak out and think about how far behind you are or have to wonder why someone would send them out so early, I actually got this one much earlier than the sender would have meant for us to get it. While we were cleaning out my Grandma‘s apartment, we found a stack of Christmas cards that she had been working on. She said she figured if she did five a day, then she wouldn’t get too tired doing them. My Mom is planning to send them all out before Christmas and include a note with them.
I left that card sitting on the counter, unopened, for about a week. But, this week, I opened it and I cried. Jack, my ever emotional guy, cried too. After all we’ve been through since the beginning of the month, it was just still surreal to think it was the last Christmas card we would ever get from her.

While I do hope to get a little down time this weekend, I have vowed that this weekend will be the one to get some things done. I have a lot of things to work on, and I would love for this to be the weekend that I could look back on and say, “Wow — look how much I got done!”
Then again, based on how I’m feeling right now, I think I’ll just be happy to sleep in one day.

Did I show you guys my date book for 2010

yet?
I love this thing! It is so cute. And, I really like that each spread covers two weeks, instead of a more standard one week.

I hadn't seen the new Advent Conspiracy video. They do such an amazing job of touching hearts in just a few minutes. So thought provoking. Thanks for the link.

Thank you for sharing. Once you wrote about The big bang. I like it very much, and I would like to know your opinion. Is it appropriate for 14 years old students? Thank you.

Angie, you made me cry when I read about your Grandma's Christmas cards. It was very touching.

I love the little tired doll picture. I can definitely relate to that!

@ Stanislavka — There is definitely content that could be on the more mature side in the show, so that would really have to be your own call.

Thank you very, very much for your opinion, Angie. But I am not sure, if I understand completely. I intended to watch the show in English with my students (to improve their English skills). Can I? If not, could you recommend me anything else?
