Apple's iLife '08 was just released. Marcus and I were watching a bit of the special presentation on Apple's site during lunch today. It seems to have some really cool new features. We took off for the Cherry Creek Apple Store right after I got off of work and they were all out. So Marcus called Aspen Grove and was told they had plenty. He headed up there after he got off work and the employee on the phone was apparently smoking crack. No iLife for Marcus today. Boooo!

Well, now I know why I was feeling icky yesterday. It was the lead up to one of the worst bouts of cramps I've had in a long time. I was in so much pain by lunch time that I was literally in tears. Ibuprofin was having absolutely no effect on the pain whatsoever. It sucked, dudes. Marcus was telling me that I should go home, but I didn't want to because I need the hours. When my supervisor asked me what was wrong (I looked like hell), I finally gave in and asked him if I could go home early.

A big wave a nausea hit on the way home and I had to stop the car for a bit. I made it home safely, though.

I have not had menstrual cramps and pain this bad in literally years. What made it so bad today? I'm feeling a little better now, so hopefully I'll be OK at work tomorrow. I really can't afford to be missing work with no sick days built up yet.

Yesterday, both Marcus and I had a queasy tummies. We thought it might have been the coffee we both drank mid-day. Well, I've been feeling out of sorts all day and starting feeling really crappy about a half hour before I got off work. I've spent the majority of the evening curled up on the sofa shivering under a quilt while watching television. I know I've got a slight fever, but I'm trying to let my body take care of itself. I hope whatever is making me feel like crap moves on quickly. I don't have time for this.

I just had a thought...I wonder if this is related to mosquitoes. With all the rain we've had and as humid as it has been, I did notice the danged things are kind of thick outside. I got bit a little bit yesterday.

I'm just three short months away from going to Las Vegas, baby! I can't wait. I'm already making a list of things I need to get: laptop battery, new camera, better iPod earphones, etc. I'm going to have a blast!

I heard the most disturbing thing on the television today while eating breakfast at the Flying J restaurant this morning. Viagra is using Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas" song in their television ads. I was seriously wondering what The King would think about his music being used in such a way. I think it was tactless and totally inappropriate.

In an effort to get the cash together for my Vegas trip, I've started doing freelance design again. I'll have my site up by the end of the week, but in the mean time, if anybody reading this needs any graphic design services (print or web), I'm available. Just shoot me an email...the addy is in the sidebar--->

I was on a site called Oh! Crafty Me and she had the most wonderful piece of fabric that she had found at a place called Reprodepot. I'd love to have this wonderful pattern with sewing supplies pictured below. There are so many adorable patterns there. They are a little pricey, but I'll definitely keep this site in mind when I'm looking for something special.
