Sickness: I Has It

As I lay here watching "Uncle Buck", my mind wanders occasionally to one thought.  "Please don't let me throw up again."  

I have a major sinus infection which is causing my equilibrium to go all wonky and thus is making me nauseus.  Joy to my world.  Other than that, it's been a swell two weeks.  

We had family arrive right after Christmas and all the bad relatives stepped up to the plate and were actually pleasant to be around.  Aunt Barbara couldn't make it (awww, too bad!) and the bad sister-in-law was funny and seemed genuinely cheerful.  The obsessvie-compulsive brother-in-law didn't drive everyone too crazy with his photography wizardry.  The brooding brother-in-law was somewhat personable and at times even polite.  Everything was very nice and I ate my weight in food.  That part was grand.  Fortunately, the sicknesses didn't start until after the holidays. 

We saw "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" on our anniversary.  It was very good.  It was at times depressing though so don't go see it if you're feeling fragile.  From a logical standpoint, I disagreed with some of the main character's descisions, but of course this is a movie...  I was very interested to find out it's based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  I'm going to have to read it so I can compare the two.    

The greenhouse is full of blooms now and it's so nice to enjoy the 80 degree heat in the dead of winter.  And it's so bright throught the glass!!  I;m going to have to post a little video tour as soon as I can.  It's absolutely amazing. 

I ordered some orchid seedlings from my favorite new blogger.  If any of you are really into plants like me (specifically orchids!) go over to Plant Geek Chronicles and check it out!
