And I don't mean that in a "good" way. As usual, right before a vacation, I pick up some bug or other (from my darling students? ya think?) and fall down in aches and sniffles with the darn ubiquitous crud. Lucky for me, I completely caught up with all paperwork for classes on Friday morning. Done for the moment, I could relax into the rotten cold... ick! And grab me, it did. I hopped (grumped?) into bed about 10 o'clock on Friday evening and awoke at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Whoa! Thanks to Tylenol Multi-Symptom Cold Night-time liquid (how about a little product placement, eh?). Same agenda on Saturday night: gulped down the liquid and wafted off to dreamland until 11 a.m. Sunday. Trust me, I did NOT drink any of that stuff on Sunday evening because I have to get up at 5:30 a.m. and leave for CSC at 6:30 a.m. -- cannot miss class!!! I did swallow a "daytime" capsule to get me through my classes without coughing all over my students. Thank goodness that worked.
By the way, between long bouts of sleeping, I languished on the couch with an NCIS Season 4 marathon (all the Netflix discs sent back today) and the end of Human Target, Season 1 (really FUN new show). Sick couch potato.
So... the best laid plans of mice and men did not come to fruition this weekend. My Vagabond die-cutting machine arrived! But I hardly garnered the oomph to lift the machine to the second floor and plop it on the studio work space. Alas, the beautiful machine awaits me... beckons me... whispers to me: you're not sick, come on, let's play!
Meanwhile, T!m Holtz has not stopped for love nor money. He's cranking out the 12 Tags of Christmas and today was Day 6. I'll just post all the pictures and you decide. I am going to start working on the Day 6 Tag because he has two tutorials (say that about 3 x fast) posted on his blog, showing the way to use the Vagabond. -- exactly what I need!! Can't wait to try all the nifty techniques!!
