Hello, folks. It's Monday. I'm a total mess. I've been sick for over a week now. My head feels gross, my stomach feels gross and I would probably look gross too if my job didn't force me to strap on a pair of heels and put on a little lipstick so as not to send the little old men running to H & R Block instead.

The coffee bean is my only happy place right now. I'm sitting comfortably at my desk sipping on an iced tea latte wishing the snot in my nose would blow out in one blow instead of one hundred million. I would normally be cold except I've had a low grade fever running for about five days. Keeps the space heater off and the power bill low round these parts.

Unfortunately, I've run out of super awesome, witty ways to whine about my current state of affliction. Since I have a plethora of W-2's, 1099, mortgage statements, and other miscellaneous forms that need scanning, filing or shredding and there are plenty of old ladies needing black coffee and a bathroom to use then I have no business blogging at work.

Oh, and as a side note, I look forward to this weekend at the La Costa Resort and Spa for Women's retreat. I'd like a mai tai with a tiny umbrella, a manicure and a relax in the jacuzzi, please. And a whopping dose of Jesus.

Ten Today

1. The 5k has come and gone! I finished in 38 minutes and 16 seconds. Katie, Kim and Krista were all there doing it, too. I'm so proud of all my friends and for my big self for running the whole thing.

2. On that cheery note, I'm trying to decide whether or not to cancel my gym membership. I've been walking at work at lunch and running in the hood and not going to the gym much. Grr, I can't decide!

3. It has been so great having Kim here for a couple of weeks! We took the kids to Santa Monica pier on Saturday and it was good times. Kim, the kids and I rode the roller coaster. It was a first for my kids!

4. Work has been very busy. I have a love/hate relationship with tax season. 39 days until tax season ends.

5. Hartley sits on my bed every morning, watching the people and cars go by. I like to think she's keeping an eye on the hood. I caught Kayley sitting next to her saying "what do you see, Hartley? Isn't it nice outside? You're such a good puppy."

6. Can someone explain to me why people who already have ipads now want the new ipad? What is so awesome about them that people need to have the brand new updated version like stat?

7. There's talk around the office of moving people around to different offices. It really bugs me. I like things the way they are and really can't stand change.

8. Last week a website, littlemissmatched.com (a clothing and accessory store for girls), had a special where you enter a code at checkout and got $10 off the order. So I made three seperate orders and paid only 29 cents shipping for each, since each item was $10 or less. Here's what I got for less than a dollar!

Great deals huh?

9. The weather today is wonderful. I can't wait until Sunday when the time changes and it's light longer!

10. This post literally took me over two weeks to write.
