Martin Luther King Day

--It's Martin Luther King Day and I have the day off. It was so nice to wake up and not have to hit the floor running this morning.

--The fatigue I kept having last week finally turned in to an earache...? Its not something I have very often, but thats what it was. Not wanting to take antibiotics, I tried the old remedy my Mom used on us as children....warm Castor oil in the ear several times a day. It worked for Bruce over Thanksgiving, and it seems to have worked for me this time around. I feel much better and I didn't take a single pill.
Well, not entirely true, I did take Ibuprofen.

--Bruce went up to Danville this weekend to do some things for Dad and Barb (like taking the Christmas tree down). I would have gone but I had to work Saturday. He pretty much went up on Friday afternoon and came back home on Saturday evening anyway. I was either at work or asleep so I didn't feel too lonely. LOL. I did watch a lot of unmanly TV Friday night. Lots of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress. And the 4 Weddings show. They moved my favorite show, "What Not to Wear" to Tuesday night and I am not sure I like that.

--I am watching a clip of the growing popularity of pie right now. Pie is delicious.
I am a bigger fan of rich and creamy pies like pumpkin or cream pies instead of fruit pies. But still cherry or peach is delicious. Not a huge fan of apple pie though.
But the clip is saying people are starting to serve pie at weddings. Instead of cake....??? How weird is that? A wedding pie might be yummy but it couldn't possibly be dressed up to be so beautiful as a tiered wedding cake.....could it?

--In honor of Martin Luther King day, I wish we could all aspire to keep the dream alive. The unfortunate incident in Arizona this past week is absolute proof that we haven't achieved it yet.
