pretzel sticks and apple cider

my boss is out sick today, but not fake-sick, real sick. He looked terrible yesterday afternoon. You could hardly understand him when he spoke. It made me really thankful I wasn't actually sick. Even if I'm a little achy and cranky, I'm not full-fledged "I'd rather be dead, sick" like my boss is. Life is weird. Its funny you can get cancer but still be freaked out about the flu.

If you couldn't tell by the title of today's post. I'm drinking apple cider and eating pretzel sticks right now. It's really nice, I love my 10am snack time.

last night I had good snacks. I went to a Hanukkah party at Jaime's house. I noticed that she spells it with a "c", but I'm pretty sure it doesn't make a difference. Virginiawas still at work, so we had to celebrate without her. We dimmed the lights to light the candles. Russell, Scott, Nishi and I all smiled like someone was singing "Happy Birthday" when Sarah and rest of the ladies were singing the prayers. Jaime remembered all of the words.

Our wonderful hostess provided treats like potato latkas, gelt, manashevitz(sp?) wine, and cheer. Courtney helped fry potato latkas and they served sour cream. Nishi brought the very necessary donuts. Max, Morgan, and Tim all were all there and awesome as always. It's been a while since I hung out with any of them.

Overall, what a fantastic party. Just the right number of guests, just the right guest, plenty of that sweet sweet wine.

Isn't it weird, I just noticed now, that almost all of these people I talked about have online journals?...Odd...


Also, really, what the heck is wrong with my sidebar. Last time I had a photo that was too big, what could it be now??
