Blargh - today I'm tired. I woke up at 7:00 am for an appointment with the lady-parts doctor and yesterday, the same time, for an appointment with yellow fever. That's right - a live virus jabbed right into my arm. I came home and told my husband I got jabbed with jello-fever. It's now so permanently ingrained in my mind, it will be jello-fever forever. Speaking of thoughts forever ingrained in my mind - funny story. When I was in high school I worked at Wendy's Fast Food - the drive through. "Welcome to Wendy's may I take your order" I would say over and over and over. [Now lets fast forward 5 years] I was doing a presentation on fast food for one of my food science classes at university. I was so nervous, at the beginning of the presentation I blurted out "Welcome to Wendy's may I take you order". I know what your thinking - that girl is smooth talker.
