Particularly when daytime cold medicine does nothing for me except make my ears ring.  I've spent the last 24 hours trapped in my house, scowling at the tv, blowing my nose and staring longingly out the window at the beautiful day I'm missing.  

Here's where I've been all day, with the curtains closed.  You can totally see the divot on the couch where I've been parked.  That's the remote laying on the cushion, awaiting my imminent return.  At least I got to watch "3:10 to Yuma" which was awesome and "War of the Worlds" (the Tom Cruise version), which is one of my guiltiest pleasures.



And here's what I'm missing outside.  It's a little cool and breezy and my body tells me to stay where I am.  But looking at this picture makes me eager for warmer weather and margaritas and friends.



Harrumph.
