Truth in advertising

[exatron]

I seem to have caught a cold on Friday. Thankfully, it's behaving itself by remaining in my upper respiratory system where its easiest to deal with. As long as I have access to warm beverages or soup, I should be better by Monday or Tuesday.

Now for the truth in advertising part. Despite the cold, I was still able to go to the gym and had a nice view while using the leg press. On the other side of the room, there was a nicely built guy in a tight blue t-shirt with the words "enormous growth potential" written across the chest in yellow. Given what he looked like, I'd say it was an accurate statement.

My closest RL friend visited this evening. Other that his unannounced arrival cutting into the time I had set aside for drawing, it was good to see him. I hadn't heard from him in a while because he was busy with school and his new nephews. Plus, he was having trouble IMing me for some reason.

I also found out that my mother made Christmas cookies from a mix. I told her that she was missing the point since half the fun is making them from scratch and reminded her of the pie crust incident.

D'oh! Hope it's not the dreaded cold I got, the one that's not too bad but just WILL NOT GO AWAY.
:::Snrk::: At least it wasn't on his pants x_x

The Pie Crust incident? Is that anything like the Noodle Incident?

After a bit of a scare late last night (I couldn't sleep because I ate something that really disagreed with me), I'm feeling much better now. My cold is now in its final stages of leaving and my appetite is mostly back. The decaffeinated vanilla maple tea I found really seemed to help me get over it quicker. (I'm a sucker for anything maple flavored [as long as it's the real thing and not that nasty Log Cabin sort of stuff].)

You have a sick and dirty mind. Yet another reason I love chatting with you.

The interesting thing is that my personal trainer would probably say the phrase applies to me. Last week, he noted that he didn't really have to give me much to do with my calves since they just follow along with the rest of my legs.

That depends. This particular incicdent involved my mother using a premade pie crust at Thanksgiving about fifteen years ago. She claims that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't seen the packaging, but everyone else at dinner could tell too. Ever since then, she hasn't been allowed to make a pie unless she also makes the crust.

There are actually a lot of food-related incidents that she's been involved in. The second orange juice incident, the spaghetti sauce incident, her self-proclaimed status as a champion spiller...
