So I notice I have a sore throat on Wednesday. There are little white spots on my right tonsil. Hmmm...
Thursday it's gotten a bit worse, so I put a call into the doctor's office.

He'll see me Friday. Great.

"Open wide."
*Aaaaaaagh*

"Yeah, it's red alright."
*Gulp*

"Let's get a culture of this thing."
*This THING?!?!?!?!?*

I just about gagged when he stuck his ultra-long Q-tip down my throat. Before he even gets the results of the swab test, he declares, "It's probably strep."

"Let's get you some antibiotics."

So, here I am, three tablets of Levaquin down (7 to go), and this is what my throat looks like:

They did it. They actually did it.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

The hubby doesn't want to go to the parade, though. He says "too much of a mad house."
Boo.

You probably haven't heard of the Hotel Costes compilations by French DJ Stéphane Pompougnac. If you have, then pat your fab self on the back for being in the know :)

The collection has been growing over the past few years, but it's a bit obscure and pretty hard to find--at stores, I mean. iTunes has a good many of them, but not the complete set. You can order the imported discs online for about $30 a pop; ouch, I know, but it's well worth it. There are 12 discs total, and I have yet to get my hands on the last one, Costes Presente Bon Voyage.



Eager to check it out? Then perhaps we should plug in my iPod at the next Friday night gathering.

Welcome the totally brilliant Eye-Fi card. It wirelessly sends photos to your computer, as well as to Flickr and other photo uploading sites. And for all the Mac lovers out there, it's good to know that it syncs with iPhoto. Yay!

Use the 2GB card in your camera in place of a regular SD card, then install the Eye-Fi software on your computer--you can then use your home WiFi network to automatically upload photos.

Snag it at  Amazon or Photojojo for $100.

... and fail most miserably!!! Well, OK, so "shop less" wasn't exactly a resolution--especially since I  know I won't be able to stick with it. So I downshifted to baby steps, like: "OK, maybe one item this month."

and then it happened

The mother of all catalogues arrived in the post today. Ahh, the fashion sanctuary that is Anthropologie :)  Just thinking of all the glam goodness makes me tingly inside. (Or am I hungry?)

Checkkit:



Oh, don't worry, that sweater's already in my shopping bag, as well as a couple things that I'm waiting for the best friend to weigh in on.
A note to the hubby: One cannot go through life in jeans and t-shirts all the time. It's time my wardrobe grew up! :)

You do know the plight of the tortured fashionista, no?
