Snowglobes from around the world


I had a wicked migraine all day today. It's almost 6 pm and I'm still in my pajama's. Pretty sad. KJ got off the bus hysterical crying saying SHE had a headache. Must be something in the air. She laid down w/ an ice cold cloth on her head and slept for an hour and a half. When she has a headache and sleeps it off, she wakes up a totally different person.

She has just informed me that she would like T & I to bring her back snowglobes from our trip to Europe. She said she wants a Big Ben snowglobe from London, the Eiffel Tower from Paris and she said she "doesn't know the name of it, but it's a big round building that looks like it's broken." I'm guessing she means the Coliseum in Rome. I tried to bring her back a snowglobe from the M&M store in Vegas but I accidentally put it in my carry-on bag and it was over the liquid limit (as if I was a terrorist making bombs out of M&M World snowglobes). They made me get off the security line and take it to the post office at the airport and try to mail it. Unfortunately, the post office didn't open until 10 AM, our flight was at 9 AM. I ran around the airport trying to figure something out. The Bellagio gift shop wouldn't mail it for me because I didn't buy there so I ended up giving the snowglobe to a maintenance worker I passed in the airport. Told him to give it to his grandkids or something.

I mean really I think that sometimes they secure us TOO much, but I guess better safe than sorry!!! Sorry bout your headache, that sucks! Migranes knock me on my butt and I need a dark cold, quiet room with a bed to get over it.....and some Excedrine Migrane that helps too!!!

Funny you should mention Execdrine Migraine. I took 2 tabs this morning when I got up. Approximately 4 hours later I still had a raging headache so I took 2 more. As I was swallowing the 2nd set of tabs, I read the bottle. Turns out you shouldn't take more than 2 tabs in 24 hours. I took 4 tabs in 4 hours. My bad. Headache didn't go away, though.
