I know that’s a crude title for this post, but it’s true. My stomach started hurting yesterday - not severe pain, but pretty darn constant “medium” pain and cramps. I feel horrible. So I stayed home from work today. Looks like I will have to stay home tomorrow, too. I really don’t want to stay home tomorrow because there is SO much to do, but I sure can’t work feeling like this. Sigh! I can’t get warm, either - three pair of socks, I’m wrapped up in a big quilt and comforter - and I’m still cold.
The most telltale sign that I’m truly sick: I don’t really want to blog. I’ve been home all day. I spent a little time on the computer. I saw lots of things I could blog about, but I just didn’t care. Mostly I’ve spent the day in bed sleeping and wrapped in three comforters in front of such inane TV shows as “Hollywood True Stories - The Women of ‘Desperate Housewives.’” I now know more about Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman - and I can’t even think of the names of the other two, and I don’t care enough to look them up.
According to the Wall Street Journal, fourteen members of the Advisory Board of the Carter Center resigned en masse today because they could . . .
no longer in good conscience continue to serve following publication of former President Jimmy Carter’s controversial book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.”
Finally, people are beginning to recognize Carter for what he is - a pathetic has-been who has enjoyed the undeserved admiration from many on the left for far too long.

Thirteen Places I’d Like To Travel to and Visit
(Some are places I’ve never been, and others are places I’d like to Re-Visit
1 - ITALY - What’s not to love about Italy? I’ve never been, but it’s #1 in my list of places I want to visit.
2 - AUSTRIA - I love the photos I’ve seen of it.
3 - ALASKA - Since I was there in September, I don’t want to return real soon, but in a few years, I’d like to go back.
4 - HAWAII - Such natural beauty.
5 - North Georgia mountains - Another beautiful part of the country. I drive through little bits of them sometimes on my trips to and from Georgia. I’d like to find a mountain cabin somewhere and spend a few days hiking and exploring.
6 - New York City - I want to see a Broadway show.
7 - Australia - I’d like to throw a few shrimp on the barbie and enjoy that culture for awhile
8 - Maine - I’ve never been that far northeast.
9 - Sunburst Campground - When I was in middle school or high school my family camped out there. I don’t even know what state it is in, but I remember how it looked and how COLD the creek water was.
10 - Indian Springs Campground in Georgia - and old-fashioned camp meeting place that I’ve attended a few times in my distant past. I’d like to go there again.
11 - A Caribbean Cruise - I’ve done this twice before - once with RT and another time with my daughter many years ago. I’d like to go again sometime.
12 - Grand Canyon - I want to do the mule ride to the bottom and back - camp out in the bottom. I went there with RT years ago when he was on a business trip, and the vastness of the canyon was amazing.
13 - Seattle - Don’t know why, but I’ve always thought Seattle sounded like a nice place to visit.
