Everyone's sickly.
So...starting about a week ago, Meliyah was acting more cranky than usual. She had a horrible night sleep (as did I) with fits of crying and wanting to carry her from place to place all over the house. (I've found, through my brilliant powers of deductive reasoning, that the whole 'moving around thing' is Meliyah trying to escape herself when she doesn't feel well. It's so sad.)
The next day she barely ate or drank. She didn't even want her pacifier. She had 3 nights of no-sleep before it occurred to us that maybe she's teething? One decent mouth inspection revealed that she had huge horrible sores on her tongue. So, she was taken to the doctor. It's a virus. He suggested Motrin for the pain and a mixture of Benedryl and Kaopectate to coat and soothe her mouth. She wasn't eating, but he said as long as we could get her to drink and she was still wetting her diaper, there was no reason to panic. He said it could last up to 7 days. The poor little gooseburger.
Now that she's beginning to feel an inch better, Jason started with aches and chills on Friday night. I started with some kind of stomach bug on Saturday night. And both of us were out of commission all day yesterday. Thank god for my mother-in-law who took over baby-duty Sunday night and gave us a night of uncomfortable, but thankfully uninterrupted, sleep. As of this morning, Jason is running 102 fever. He's off to the doc right now.
It's the plague. I wonder if my house smells like sick people.
Ugh.
But hey, at least I rocked the mic at my friend's Rockband Party on Friday night. Woo!

Writer's Block: I Don't Normally Do This Kind of Thing
Buffy. "Really, Jason? Buffy?! You want me to watch Buffy, the Vampire Slayer?!?! What are you, 12?" Then, I became an addict. And THEN, I joined the forums. And THEN, I moderated the forums. And THEN, I wrote fanfic. Yeah, WTF.

Katie Holmes
So Katie Holmes was on SYTYCD last night. There was so much hype surrounding her appearance I really wasn't sure what to expect. Regardless of my expectations, there wasn't much actually comment on. Mostly she just lip synced to a pre-recorded track and sexy-walked around the stage. There wasn't any actual dancing by her.
As I mention to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thegoyle it was like she was 16 years old and looking for an excuse to dress and act sexy in front of a national audience with absolutely zero talent to back it up. I actually felt sorry for her. Thankfully it lasted like 2 minutes and I didn't have to pity her for long.
It was nice to see dancers from previous seasons and the two Emmy-winning performances totally lived up to their Emmy's...especially the Hok/Jaime dance. It was SOOOOO good.
Personally, I think ( spoilers for elimination )

An LJ Post...
wherein I talk a tiny bit about TV.
True Blood. Yay. Somehow it needs to be longer than it is. Also, I heart Lafayette.
Medium. I finally caught up on the (now we know it's a...) SERIES finale. WTF? They're not gonna wrap that up for us?
24. I'm still 2 episodes behind the finale-that-didn't-record. I'm debating on whether or not to even bother.
SYTYCD. They only let Max go over Kupono because he has a receding hairline. Age-ist, Ugly-ist pigs, those judges. Kupono is highly overrated. Ugh. Love Phillip and Caitlin. Wish I was RL friends with Cat Deeley.
LOOOVVVINNNG Burn Notice and the new show, Royal Pains. LOVING THEM. That's really all I have to say.

Waahhh
We leave tomorrow afternoon. I don't wanna go... WAAAHHHHH!!!!
I could seriously stay here, doing, seeing and eating all the same things every single day for the rest of my life and be perfectly content. Why can't I win the lottery? Or inherit millions from some unknown relative? WHY!?!?! Why oh why must I suffer so?

I need a new book series...
I just finished reading Kim Harrison's 'Hollows' series. It was pretty good. I've read all of John Saul and Dean Koontz. I've found I enjoy the more 'easy-read' series tho. Even though I found Janet Evanovich kind of childish, I read her entire series and mostly enjoyed it. Piers Anthony used to be my favorite author so I'm not against fantasy novels. I did enjoy Eragon and Eldest (I have the new one, but it's big and hardcover and not convenient for transport.) As many of you know, I'm a fan of Buffy - so the vampire stuff works for me too. But I don't like historical, political or educational. :) I want simple, easy-to-read, fun entertainment to take with me to the beach.
PLEASE make some suggestions.
Thanks

Perez Sometimes Posts Worthwhile Quotes...
Like this one:
"Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that [Harry Potter author] Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and [Twilight author] Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good."
- Stephen King tells USA Today
LOL. It's funny cause it's true.

Out of 20 stores...
So, it's time for a new comforter set.
I typically buy the 'cheap' bed-in-a-bag stuff for $69.99. I tend toward simple patterns; I like cotton. And what I buy usually lasts a good couple of years.
But the last set I got - I had found on ebay. It was a great deal for a beautiful semi-fancy comforter set with shams and throw pillows. But it was made out of that semi-fancy silky fabric, and since we sleep with our comforter (and our dog occasionally does too), I was finding pulls and runs in it everywhere. Pulls and runs and stains that I didn't typically get with my cheaper cotton ones. Besides the fact that the dog chewed up all the little wooden beads on the throw pillows.
Sooooo, it's time for a new comforter set. I decided it was time to go back to cheap cotton. Found something great at Ross for $34.99, but even though the packaging said King...even though the tags said King...the bed said, "HA! This isn't KING!" and it has since been returned. So I started looking online and found a couple of things that I liked but nothing I was over-the-moon for.
Then my mom called from Burlington Coat Factory to tell me she found a couple of sets I might like. So I looked them up online and...nope. Didn't like. Then she called me from Bed Bath and Beyond with a couple of sets I might like, and...nope. Fail. But I did tell her that there was a set at BB&B that I saw a year or so ago that I absolutely loved, but it was like $300 so I never bought it. She had me look up another - and 'lo and behold! It was the one I found a year ago. But it was the only one they had left...and it was Queen size. Boo.
I immediately set off on a feverish online search to find it King Size. Unfortunately, what I found was a whole lotta nothing because said set was part of Thomasville's bedding collection and Thomasville's bedding collection has been closed up since 2007. I realized I was pining for a comforter set that has been discontinued for over a year and hope was nearly lost.
My mother suggested I start calling around to the local stores. When I encountered my first non-english-speaking representative, my hope was lost anew. But somehow, miraculously, she found the SKU# of the product I wanted and told me that they didn't have a single solitary item in that collection. She said not to get my hopes up, but that I should try the Ft. Lauderdale store because that's their biggest store and where most stores send their discontinued items.
So I did.
And guess what?
Kevin, in the bedding department, found it. It's the only single solitary one they have...and it's KING SIZED!
Yep. He's holding it for me.
Happy holidays. :)

Wooooo
Magic Kingdom was nice last night; we really has less than 3 hours or so to fit as much in as possible. So Meli rode Snow White, Dumbo, Pooh Adventure, Buzz Lightyear and the Teacups. We got to play on the playground and explore the park before it got dark and Meli got to snoring.
We had a lovely dinner at Jiko at our hotel. African-inspired (and delicious) cuisine.
Today we'll be on our way to Animal Kingdom. I can't wait for Meli to play in the petting zoo. Should be a very nice day. The only stress I'll have will be deciding where to hop to after we're done at the Animal Kingdom.
Smooches!
