Sick face, again!

Things I am doing to kick this:

1. Drinking LOTS of tea that Corelyn gave me that is supposed to aid in relieving respiratory illness.

2. Taking Emergen-C three times a day

3. Taking Mono vitamin pills my coworker Liz gave me, also 3 times a day.

4. Taking Mucinex every 12 hours, no matter what.

5. Sleeping a lot

6. Drinking tons of water (and a little Gatorade)

7. Wearing my jade necklace from China, in case it has healing powers.

Anything else you guys do to keep yourselves healthy that I should try?

Finished: The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant.

4 of 5 stars. The second half of book felt a bit rushed, but the story was beautiful, the characters rich, and the scenes amazing. I loved hearing a biblical story through the eyes of a woman. It is interesting to read of midwives, of women as sisters and wives, of lovers of their own gods, of lovers of their shared husbands. It was a story that all women could relate to, and a story that teaches us all about the miracle of motherhood.

You should read it.

Best Day Ever.

Pretty much 1 or 2 things happen every day that make each day “best day ever” here in Jennie’s life.

But today — truely, best. day. ever.

*large iced coffee with chocolate, exercise in the morning by walking to work from the train instead of taking the bus, free breakfast burrito, and orange juice. Goodies from Bike to Work day, the promise of a bike in my future, a temporary tattoo, and best of all:

email from facebook telling me that 3eb (Third Eye Blind) has posted a concert. Near me. Where? Hollywood. When? In merely 1 1/2 months.

I bought tickets immediately, after calling to confirm Jeff’s attendance.

The concert? Not listed on 3eb’s website, or the venue’s website. Sweet success. (These kinds of shows sell out, so I had to act swiftly.)

Best. day. ever.

Picture of me and the BFF at the first THIRD EYE BLIND concert we saw in April 2007.

They were RIGHT there. We were so close.
