October 17, 2007
The best part of being a writer and having a large cast to write about is that when something happens to you, you can share the pleasure — or, in this case, the misery.

1. If you’re Trevor, you’re too tired to chase girls under their boyfriends’ noses. 2. If you’re Mitchell, you don’t feel like making music. 3. If you’re Eric, you go through so many tissues, your nose turns red and scaly. 4. If you’re Kerri, you pick up a pencil, make a few lines on a sketch pad, and put it aside in favor of a nap. 5. If you’re Trevor, everyone gets worried because you’re not eating everything in sight. 6. If you’re Pam, you plaster a smile on your face and teach your aerobics class anyway. When you get home is when you can give in. 7. If you’re Mitchell, you drink so many gallons of orange juice, you burp pulp. 8. If you’re Chelle, you quietly stay in bed. 9. If you’re Daniel, you whine at Val until she comes to take care of you. 10. If you’re Trevor, you find some quiet girl who’s the mothering type to smother you with attention for an hour or two. Then you get tired of her and ask her 11. If you’re Kerri, you hide as much of your misery as possible from Mitchell, or else he’ll freak out and call Amy every ten minutes for unneeded medical advice. 12. If you’re Val, you take Zicam and medicated cough drops at the first hint of a cold because you can’t be slowed down. 13. If you’re me, you sulk ’cause you hate being too foggy to write. |
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

As for the thing that I am happy about … I thought another little bundle was on the way. Nope. Whew, I have too much going on next year. Little bundle would be welcome after Nationals. LOL!

I actually wrote the post on Tuesday, but yeah, the cold’s lingering. I had to postpone my flu shot!BR/BR/Hopefully it won’t take up a last hurrah in my asthmatic lungs. It’s not unheard of.

Germ X, Emergen-C, and Airborne are the best for prevention. I have them in warehouse size. I can’t miss a day when I have so many students to suspend. BR/BR/Fantastic TT as always … check out my 13 suspensions I have already issued this school year.

I’m torn between #8 and #13 — while I would adore a nap and peace and quiet, I would be grousing because I couldn’t think of a thing to write about!! And reading is out of the question because of the headache that usually accompanies these things. Maybe Val is the smartest if she never gets sick!BR/Happy TT!

Colds are annoying. I hope you feel better soon. When I’m feeling crappy, I tend to cocoon. I hate mental fogginess more than the physical symptoms. Get better soon!

I hope this doesn’t mean you’re sick and if it does, I hope you get better soon.BR/BR/I’m a bit of Kerri and I can’t remember the other one who teaches aerobics. If I have to do something, I grin and bear it, but if I don’t, I’ll end up resting because I can’t concentrate. Now my boys it’s definitely not eating everything in sight.BR/BR/Take care and feel better.

OMG! Funny and yet it does suck having a cold. Good for me I have a cabinet full of dried herbs and I know which ones to take and how. I seldom get sick, but when I do, I know how to fight it and get back on my feet fast.BR/BR/A little magick does hurt either. 😉

I love #10, and how completely inside Trevor’s head you are! I also think it’s neat the cold and flu season even manages to vex imaginary folks. It’s a great equalizer.

Having a cold totally, totally sucks, she sayz inbetween coughing and sneezing and blowing her nose. On the bright side, a cold is a good excuse to spend the day snuggled up on the couch and watching Gene Kelly musical after Gene Kelly musical after Gene Kelly musical. (I’m sure it’s good for the Muse, too! *g*)BR/BR/Still, I hope you’ll feel better soon! BR/BR/*waving from across the big blue sea with a mug of cammomile tea*
