Speech returns (finally)

I’m finally getting my voice back! I had absolutely nothing above a whisper for Saturday and most of yesterday, but last night I was finally able to croak out about every fourth or fifth word. Today is much better…I’m only losing every fourth or fifth word. The ones I do have, though, sound pretty funny. Scratchy and deep.

Say what?

So I didn’t post yesterday or today, which to me is Friday, which by the clock is Saturday, so I suppose I should write “so I didn’t post Thursday or Friday,” but since I’m still awake from when I awoke Friday I’ll stick to my original statement.

Quick clean

Every morning after my workout I read a magazine while I eat my Raisin Bran. Sometimes a catalog for gift ideas, but mostly magazines. Today I finished up the Pottery Barn catalog and moved to St. Louis At Home, which I get for free and which I always think I’ll never read, but then I do and I’m glad I did.

The Entry

Okay okay okay. I get it. I need to post my entry here so you can read it. Sheesh. Ya’all are a demanding bunch. And to think, I actually started writing here, you know, for me. Now my legions of adoring fans have become like Britney’s paparazzi. All two of you.

I must write good

A couple of months ago my boss forwarded an e-mail to me. A software developer specializing in our industry and an industry publication were sponsoring a contest for a Technology Makeover. Essentially, they were offering a $10,000 technology prize to a salon or spa who, in 500 words, could prove why they deserved it.

Ramblings

I now firmly believe that BCS does not stand for Bowl Championship Series. No, indeed, it stands for Big Crock of Shit. Which is what it is that Mizzou does not get a BCS bowl game despite their kick-ass season. Friggin’ Kansas gets a BCS bowl game, despite being ranked lower than Mizzou, losing one more game than Mizzou, and, irony of all ironies, actually losing to Mizzou. I stand by my Tigers, and proclaim they’ll always be number one in this alum’s heart.
