This after 1,200 miles of driving to get to her on the holiday.

I also would like to nominate my dh for “Best Impersonation of someone dying from a cold” I understand that there are many nominees for this one.

Now, things are different. And tomorrow I am hoping to earn a badge for being a constituent of the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. Congress (Keith Ellison – Minneapolis). The Democratically-controlled U.S. Congress, that is. Please, please, please. Please let me earn this badge.

I did get it. I deserve a badge.

What is it about men when they get sick that makes them all frowny and bitchy? While said spouse has moped for the better part of a week and been rather ill-tempered, I have managed to keep myself and children mostly out of range and have even offered some compassionate caring, though mostly just steeing clear.

I followed a link in Technorati in and see I’m all hooked up in your sidebar! Thank you much for that.

Well let’s see now… I have earned many badges this week, but the most noteworthy would be the oft sought but seldom attained:

Composure in the Face of Torture Badge, which I earned by being indentured into attending a fund raiser for cancer at Quicken Loans Arena over the weekend. I know it doesn’t sound all that traumatic, however, this excursion involved children all around me and men in glittery outfits on the ice. The “show” was Scott Hamilton & Friends, skating to the accompaniment of none other than the sensational seventies rock icons, Three Dog Night LIVE – in person at the end of the ice. Now, nothing against ice skaters, but geeeeeeeeZussss, how the hell Three Dog Night, Scott Hamilton, his friends skating and cancer all mesh together left me baffled. Worse, the Ohio State game was on and I had a hefty bet on it. We were in the corporate suite and it was a mandatory lights out, which meant no game viewing. Throw in that my kid is an avid skater and the boss’s wife is too, well, let’s just say I had a shot or two of Jack and kept my mouth shut.

After last week’s gaffe the MN Dems said “Umm, thanks but no thanks.” He stayed home.

Fingers crossed that Rush will put his foot in his mouth again some time before Tuesday.
