Down with the Sickness. After somehow managing to escape almost every bug that has gone through our wing including stomach viruses and the flu, after kissing my grandmother goodbye yesterday, I came down with a cold. So, I'm sitting here in bed with a trashcan and an almost-empty box of Puffs Plus on my bedshelf. Yes, Kleenex, at this point will no longer do. Of course, my nose is actually in need... so I think it does deserve Puffs indeed. My angel of a roommate gave me some mucinex, which has helped a bit. I told the girls that if they chased me around the dorm with a can of Lysol that I wouldn't be offended. I wouldn't want to be the cause of the bug, even though Chloe's got a cold too. In other news, I was kind of sad to leave home. I don't think that the break was quite long enough. I feel like I've been bombarded with work and I was ready for a break. Unfortunately for me, most of my friends and family from back home had spring break either one week before or after mine. Lame. Mom took me grocery shopping at H-E-B. I can't tell you how excited I was to not pay 5.18 for a stupid Deli Wrap. Yes, it's $5.18 and I don't know what's sadder: the fact that the price hasn't stopped me from buying them or the fact that I actually know how much they are...probably the latter. Totally psyched for Coldplay. I can't wait. I think I'm still in denial... maybe it's because I still haven't printed my tickets. Hm, oh yeah! I'm pumped because since the beginning of lent, I've dropped about 5 pounds, which is beyond exciting. I'm pretty sure I gained some of that back today. Mom had her first taste of Kerbey's Queso. She loved it. We got back today and she rushed to the bathroom when I saw the sign for the Kinsolving blogger contest. I figured, why not? So, I guess this'll be my submission. Well, maybe this entry plus the link to the Spicy Chicken Wing Xanga. It hasn't been updated in a while, but that's not on me. I just didn't want to be the only one to update it anymore because it's for the entire wing, and I didn't want it to turn into the Karynna Show. This is why I made my own Xanga so that I could have a blog featuring yours truly. You know, I don't even know how many people read this thing, and that's alright. I guess it's more of a way of getting things out. I have to agree with the shrinks... it is therapeutic. Anyway, well my head is throbbing and I've got to Lysol everything to protect beloved Roomie. Haha. Well, it's been fun. Au Revoir! [karYnna] Wing blog by me: www.xanga.com/thespicychickenwing Personal blog by me: www.xanga.com/karynnagarcia
