I tried to go to bed early tonight, but that didn’t happen. I guess that’s what happens when you sleep off and on all day. I didn’t sleep very well last night because I’ve got this sore throat that has been absolutely killing me. I’d doze off and wake up 30 minutes later in pain, so I stayed up until Hubby could go to the store for me Sunday morning for meds. Then I slept ’til 3pm.

Now I’m killing time anyway I can. I was going to clean the kitchen, but that’s pretty hard to do in the dark. The overhead light burned out again, so until I make it to the store for fluorescents all I have is the little appliance bulb over the stove.

Instead I ended up killing time by chatting with a friend I haven’t talked to in awhile. We used to talk all the time, but she hasn’t been online in awhile due to real life stuff. She doesn’t live around here, so we haven’t seen each other in 5 years, but I found out she’s coming home for Christmas.

Actually I haven’t seen her since my wedding, and we talked about that. Her now husband was in our wedding, and we discussed how much we’d both like to get together and go somewhere nice to each when she comes home for Christmas. We also talked about how hard it would be to get either of our Hubby’s to dress up to go to the type of place we’d like to go. Neither one of them have really dressed up since they wore tuxedos in our wedding. I nag Hubby all the time about how I’d like him to at least wear a sports jacket every now and then to some place nice, but that’ll never happen.

I need to find some way to plan an event where he has to get dressed up again.  I guess my best bet is to tell him I want to renew our vows, and we have to do it in our wedding attire.  Hey, that’d give me an excuse to wear my wedding dress again anyway!  Luckily the weight I’ve put back on puts me at about the same size I was 5 years ago.
