    Confession: I have the flu. And because of the weird strain of flu we have going around, you don't test positive right away so I probably exposed my whole team.

    Let's hope not! You will not be popular. :D

    I am already not popular. It doesn't bother me. The amount of work two people will have to split to keep my job done bothers me. I like them both.
    Also, there have been at least 4 of us diagnosed. Three of them tested negative and were sent back to work with it, then tested positive two days later. I knew I had at least a cold so I wiped down the coffee pots and microwaves after I used them last week and I didn't get a fever until Friday night. It isn't supposed to be contagious without a fever. I have genuinely done my best not to make anyone else sick.

    Id say you were very careful

    It comes from my grandmother having cancer when I was a kid. She lived at our house during her chemo and her immune system was really compromised so my mom taught me to keep all my school germs away from her. I hate the idea of someone getting sick because of me.

    Confession;
    I never met a person named Candi or a Tiffany. I must admit that I have a name prejudice. I always thought the girl having those names would be tall, skinny, beautiful women with empty heads.

    I have now met a Tiffany. She is intelligent, short and, strong (a weight lifter). So much for stereotypes.

    I know a Tiffany that totally meets your stereotype. LOL

    I have a cousin called Tiffany. She has a sister called Brittany, I never know which one is which because they both look so similar. One of them was a bit of an airhead, but she has grown out of it and become quite a successful person now.

    I went to school with a girl named Candy. She played bass drum in our marching band, definitely not tall or skinny. A redhead and not full of fluff. The one I know now is a farm girl through and through. She is blonde though.

    I know two women named Tiffany. One manages my local Y and the other is a teacher. Both of them are really pretty, and really smart. But occasionally they ARE also full of fluff. The one at the Y actually blames her name.

    ETA: just remembered that I know another Tiffany who totally doesn't meet the stereotype. She's so down to earth and normal I every way that I can't remember her name until someone else says it. Her sister Brittany is the same way. They are the daughters of my friend Eddie who passed away just before Christmas. Their mother has needed every ounce of their common sense. I am glad they have it.

    For shame that creme eggs are out already. Why must everything be the next holiday all the time?! And why have they skipped Valentines to get to creme eggs?

    Not at all did you fit it into your calories. I for one do not like creamed eggs so I won't be competing for them.

    NSV/Confession: I went to a coffee shop with coworkers this morning and just ordered a drip coffee, instead of some frothy, creamy, calorific concoction. And I'm not even mad. :D

    That is the one problem with short hair. Can't get away with that.

    Really good drip coffee is all you need. :)

    I washed mine on Saturday because the NP said a steamy shower would help my cough. I had to wash it this morning. But I do love the bun option.

    I don't leave the house without a girdle on. I can't remember the last time I went anywhere without one since I was 19. I'm 32.

    Even going to the gym??? I would be SO sweaty and uncomfortable.

    Nice confession though.

    The only Candi I know is short and very overweight. My name prejudices are for stripper names honestly. If I ever meet a Bambi who isn't a peeler I will be so pleasantly surprised

    You're like Dolly Parton's character in Steel Magnolias! "I haven't left the house without lycra on these thighs since I was 14." "That's because you were raised right!" :D Oh Olympia Dukakis

    Confession: I gave my husband a list. It wasn't a terribly long or complicated list and I told him to get two things on it at Target, the rest at Aldi. He only went to Target and came back without Clorox wipes. He said he couldn't find them. I have spray cleaner and paper towels, but I am so disappointed not to have the convenient thing while I am sick. Also, he overpaid for bread by miles. Sigh...

    What a brave woman! I hate sending hubby for a list. I will ask for 1 item of something perishable and he will buy 3, what is worse most of the time I am asking for 1 item of several perishable items and he will buy 3 of each, His answer is that he does not want to run out. I spend the next week being creative on how to store and use up all the perishables in the house.

    Gotta love him though he is a great guy.

    My husband is a great guy. I love him. But I hate to send him shopping. I just had to have the few things on that list because I went to urgent care instead of the store on Saturday morning. I have not left my house since I was diagnosed with flu. I will have to today because Tyler will need a ride home from school, but I won't get out of my truck then. I might go to the PO Box before I pick him up since I have no fever so far this morning, but no way was I going out into the "oh, my gosh, it's gonna snow!" crowd last night.

    Don't blame you on not wanting to brave the snow crowd! I always laugh at the way people freak out over most of the storms with the exception of the blizzards. Half of the people at least where I'm from are out the same day if not the second day.

    As for driving after a storm in the south, It’s not the ice I am worried about. It’s all the people not use to driving in it. Unfortunately in the south they don’t invest in equiptment to clear the streets.

    After centuries of rubbish weather our government still hasn't invested in the equipment to deal with snow and ice. I think we just enjoy our snow-days too much. NO WORK, YEAH!

    We have the equipment here in Northeast TN. We also have mountains and foothills and hollers that are hard to keep ice free. My kids were on a 2 hour delay today. I didn't need it here in the valley near the river, but my friend Missy lives up on the ridge and I know her kid's bus would have trouble when it was 4 degrees at 6 am.

    Edited to remove double quote and add that five years ago, we were without power for 4 days because a tree limb broke and took out a transformer. We all slept in the same room and used my oil lamps to see by. I cooked on the deck with my Coleman stove. I know why people run to get the basics if they don't have them, I just don't get why they don't keep them.

    I think I need to follow Spamarie's example and just work on the veg portion of my healthy eating. I am good at protein consumption, but suck at the veg part. Baby steps.
    I managed to push myself on my first work out back and set myself back a week with DOMS. Ever have it so bad that your muscles all feel bruised and hurt when people touch you? Just now getting to the point I can walk with out pain.

    *hugs*

    Hoping your pain has subsided!

    I know I need to get back on track with my eating!

    Like you I need to try to incorporate more veggies in my diet & cut back on the mindless snacking/binging around my period.

    Today so far I had a protein bar for Breakfast & four servings of cereal with Greek yogurt for lunch.

    Cereal is a killer for me, I can't eat just one serving. It's the box or none~!

    It happens so rarely, the equipment would dry rot or ruin before they needed it. It's easier to just tell everyone to stay home, which they don't do. Glad I was not out on the roads the last couple of days here in Houston.
