A little bit of this and that.

Well, I didn't boo hoo when I dropped off my sister at the airport. I admit that I was a little teary and my throat was tight but I handled it. I think my sister brought down some kind of Alaska
crud. I woke up this morning and I had gummy eyes, green crusty gunk in my nose and a sore throat! ( That might have been a T.M.I. moment! Sorry! ) but because I love my sister dearly, I made biscuits this morning to go with my home made strawberry jam. Nothing like a hot biscuit dripping with butter and jam! When I got up this morning to let the dog out, it was only 10 above and when I got home it's 32 above and snowing. The drive to the twin cities was OK, nothing happened, but on the way back I got a little nervous! Something I have noticed down here in the lower 48 states. THEY TAILGATE! I aways try to keep 3 or more car lengths between me and the guy in front of me. Here, when I do that, somebody almost always pulls in that spot, no big deal, I just back off. On the way back there was this guy right on my bumper, and yes, I was going the speed limit! I think he scared himself when I fish tailed! as he backed off a lot and slowed down! I also slowed down! Here in Wisconsin you often go over a bridge or a cattle crossing is under the road or you go over a County Road. With the rain/sleet/snow that was going on and the cold temp there was some ice on them, that's why I fish tailed. And then a big rig passed me and he did a little fish tail! Nothing like seeing a tractor trailer rig start to slide into your lane! With this cold that I'm getting I was feeling a little draggy, that perked me right up! Now I'm home and having a cup of hot peppermint tea and I feel a nap coming on. I must obey the call of the nap! Speaking of tea, I'm getting cranky! A friend at work let me try her "Candy Cane Land" tea. Its a Celestial Seasonings Holiday tea. She got it at Wal-Mart last week. I have now been to 3 Wal-Marts ( 1 today in Hudson WI ) and a Target and 2 other local stores and I can't find it! I just know that that tea would solve all my cold systems! I used to feel that all herbal teas tasted like grass clippings steeped in hot water but that tea was real good. That's why I have this peppermint tea, I thought that it was the same. It's not. But I think tea would be better then hot coco, which would cause a dairy snot problem. Can you tell that I need a nap?
