today started off very, very poorly.
i got up, had some cereal, and decided to have a nice hot shower. afterwards, i stood in the tub wrapped in my big fluffy blanket for a minute or two, then suddenly turned around and threw up everywhere. in the tub. at my feet.
too much information? nah, i don't think so. come on, it's only vomit. toughen up, you sissies.
i felt fine before the upheaval (barring the ten seconds or so that i gagged for), and felt fine afterwards (barring the whole clean-up part). i have no idea what the hell that was all about.
no smart ass comments from the peanut gallery, either. i am most definitely not pregnant, thank you.
now on to the part i tried to post a few evenings ago ...
i have been snagging these memes from random sources for god knows how long, and i've never gotten around to posting them. so for your time-wasting pleasure, i bring you a chunk of them.
