Ok, I am so screwed! I have two shows this weekend and I can�t stop coughing. I�ve tried all of the drugs from DayQuil, NyQuil, Robitussin, Robitussin DM, Robitussin Allergy Cough, Clarinex, Claritin, Allegra and a bunch of other sinus crap. All to no avail. I feel really drugged and run down, and I still have a cough. Oh, ya, and I haven�t seen Benny in a week. Well I see him long enough to have sex, but that really doesn�t involve a whole lot of talking. Well I tried to do the talking thing, but Benny doesn�t really appreciate it when I bring up a conversation while doing the �wild thing�. I tried to explain to him the art of multi-tasking, but I don�t think he wants to get it.

I am obsessed with Target! I like to just wonder down the aisles and touch stuff. Like the soft linens and the really pretty glassware. Benny got me a workout machine there. It�s called the Cable Flex. It had a picture of Jackie Chan on the box, so it had to be good. I�ve been working out on it every day. I�m so sore, I want to cry. I just love that feeling!!! Now I can kick Smurf�s ass!

I dressed as a princess at work today. I had the whole dress with a train and stuff. I had hand stitched the whole thing when my ankle was broken two years ago. I thought Halloween would be a good time to wear it. I wore my pajamas under it. Bad idea. Normally I�m freezing in my little cube, but today the building was sweltering. I ripped the damn thing off as soon as I got home.

Today I have my guitar lesson. I�m really nervous about the whole thing. I�ve come to the conclusion that I suck, and I�m wasting Chris�s time. I just don�t want him to tell me that. I practice an hour every day, and I can�t get my fingers to do what I want them to. I just really suck. Normally, when I hit this point with other stuff, I quit. Not this time. No way. I�m sticking with it. Yessurry Bob! Wow, I sound like I�m trying to convince myself. Bad Andrea! I�ll just give it some time. Hopefully I won�t suck forever.

Happy Halloween.
