Strange Fact: When I was in high school, I used to enjoy eating salad while taking a bath. I also used to brush my teeth in the shower to save time.

I have started to plan our Thanksgiving Dinner menu. I cooked last year too...but this time it will be just Bruce & me. We thought about going out, but then we realized if we did that we wouldn't have leftovers to eat for a week and the place might not have what we like. So, I am cooking. We just like the basics...turkey, potatoes, veggies, canned cranberries, and rolls....oh yeah, and gravy. That's it. That stuff is super simple to do. I am planning on making a pecan pie from scratch...that is my only major undertaking.

I think I lost my camera. Which misses me off...it wan't that great but it was nice when I bought it. Plus, it was the first semi-expensive thing I ever got myself. I saved and saved for that thing. I know where it was before we left...but now, it is gone. I think it may have fallen out somewhere.

This bird-flu thing has got me scared. I usually don't freak about these "pandemic" flus. I mean, there was SARS, Monkey Death Flu, that rat virus a few years back, the killer bee scare, West Nile, Ebola....and we are all still here. Even the Plaugue...sure it wiped out almost an entire population. But, that was in the middle ages and they had no science or understanding of illness, and people are still around. Now, even with the doctors and the labs and all this technology, it is scary to think that something we can't even see could kill millions of us. I don't know...all the media coverage, it is just seems more real than all the times they scared the shit out of us before. I am tired of being afraid.
