Pumped Up!

The title of today's post is completely unrelated to the recent news about Roger Clemens once again denying any relationship with performance-enhancing drugs. On a much lighter side, I experienced 2 things today that rocked my world!
1. Shannon's HOMEMADE Chicken Noodle Soup
2. that Shannon had opened the BIG bag of Skittles that Santa brought for WAY BACK on Christmas Eve!

I've been sick (flu-like symptoms) since Saturday evening and my stomach's security entourage (my nose) has pushed away any foods that have attempted to entice my tumtum. The thought of eating some hearty meal makes me gag. 2 days ago, my lovely wife stopped at the supermarket to pick up some canned soup (brand to remain nameless) in hopes that 16 oz. of chicken broth, 5 chicken chunks, 33 1/2 noodles and 3 orange specks (aka: carrots) might provide some much needed nutrients into my system.

Well, I tried to slowly sip away at the broth, giving time to the "other" ingredients to dissolve in my mouth. Shannon gets an A for effort however she gets an A+ for pulling out her homemade Chicken Soup from the deep freeze yesterday. Yes, my appetite is slowly coming back but oh if I could have had Shan's soup 2 days instead of that canned stuff.

Also, this afternoon after spending some much needed time on the computer I stopped by our pantry in hopes that a treat might fall from the shelves. After doing a Spearmint Gum double take, I noticed that the hugmongous (sp) bag of Skittles had FINALLY been opened. See, I've been waiting for that bag to open since Christmas Day.... Hope you are having a great day!

Just a photo to share with you my Skittle Bliss!!! Trust me, this is better then seeing the rainbow of colors that I made in my mouth by chewing up 76 skittles at one time.

Peace,
