New bike!

Ridley is thrilled that she finally has a new bike. It has front shocks and hand brakes. It'll take the trails near our house much better than her old bike. She figures she won't take as many spills with this one.

Cats don't like water...

Unless they are old and *forget* that they don't like water.
Excuse the bad photo. My digicam needed to be charged so I had to use my cell phone. (which takes great outdoor pics..but not so great indoor ones)

Stuff-e

No flu! But I did end up with a bad cold. I've been house bound and playing lots of harvest moon.

I was looking for pants for Ridley online. One of the childrens stores are selling "ruffled knickers". In corduroy. Bleah, some things should just never come back in style! My fingers are crossed that neon doesn't make a comeback!

Flu talk..bleah

I don't usually get sick. Yeah, yeah, sinus infections occasionally but those are a rarity now thanks to my neti pot.
I am an expert virus dodger. Ridley ended up with many bouts of tonsillitis when she started school. Now? She is an expert virus dodger too. The biggest thing for dodging viruses is washing your hands. Its amazing to me how many kids don't know how to do it!

So the point of my post is...
Scott has had the flu the past few days. 102 fever, miserable, hacking up a lung kind of thing. Hes better today but now I feel something coming on. Some rat bastard virus is trying to take hold...
Oi!!

I'm winning for now!!! Vit c, garlic, echinacea and ginger tea. I don't know if any are helping but if previous history is any indication than they should. I started Ridley with echinaca, just in case.

I REALLY don't want to get sick!
