  Thanks for all the get-well-soon wishes. :) I have slightly recovered from that very bad bout with cough and colds. A bit of a cold is still lingering, but it's not as bad. Thanks again, dear friends. Now on to my ramblings...
I finished urlLink The DaVinci Code in two days flat. I simply could not put the book down. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. There's a lot of speculation involved though. Maybe that's why it didn't get good reviews on Amazon. But since I don't rely much on what the critics think, I read the book anyway. Loved it. It makes me want to read up more on the Holy Grail. Maybe I should find a copy of "The Woman with the Alabaster Jar..." Anyway, I'm now starting to read The Valkyries by Paulo Coelho and The Nanny Diaries (though I have a really hard time starting to read this one...). I tried to change the look of my blog yesterday but failed miserably. I have yet to learn more about web page design.
The American Idol auditions are funny with a capital F. I can't believe some people who tried out think they are Broadway material. Some had really really bad voices. I could sing better than them. And I'm no Broadway singer. I'm just a good videoke singer. But you gotta admire their drive and their guts to try out. For me, that offsets their bad voices.
What's the wifely tip for today.... hmmm... lemme think... okay this one: When words fail you, when solutions are beyond your grasp, when control eludes you, and you can't bear seeing your hubby so sad, the best thing you can give him is a warm embrace. That will help assure him that things can get better, that things won't be that bad. :) Ah, the power of touch!
