Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

Well, I was going to do this cute post showing this wonderful Halloween cake Brodie and I made for my brother's "un-birthday" ~ his birthday was in September but he was still living in Calgary and now he has moved back here so we decided to have a month-late celebration for him ~ but I just went to download the pictures of the cake, and I apparently left my camera at the house where I attended a bit of a Halloween bash last night. I, ahem, may have had slightly too much to drink which may have contributed to the forgetfulness. Actually, I was doing fine sipping on my G & T's till the host brought out the absinthe. Having never tried it, I thought, what the heck, one can't hurt, I'll drink it slowly. Um, wrong. I did only have one, and I did drink it slowly, but about 5 minutes after I finished the darn thing, I had a strong urge to take a nap, which I did, on the couch. Yikes. Anyhow, cute pictures of silly cake to follow when I recover my camera. My dignity will take slightly longer to recover.

Lethargy

I don't know what's WRONG with me. For the past 2 weeks I have been SO tired. My house is a mess, the laundry needs doing, I have homework (in an effort to make my self more employable, I'm upgrading my math - there are 10,000 English teachers out there, but not so many Math teachers) plus 1000 other projects that need doing, but all I want to do is lie around and read the new William Gibson novel. *sigh* Soccer practice and games have been killing me, and I subbed yesterday afternoon in a Grade 3 class -for TWO HOURS, people- and I was so wiped at 2:30, I thought I was going to have to call hubby to get me out of there in a wheel barrow. I hope this passes soon, whatever it is, 'cause I've got a life to get on with!
