I went to the doctor this morning and it turns out I have a good ole sinus infection.  No telling how long I’ve had one.  Probably since father time told me to take the sudafed.  Oh well.  The doc went over a plan of what to do to help me keep from getting this way again.  The plan included some meds but she also recommended plants in the bedroom and an air purifier.  Normally I would have balked at the air purifier.  I mean I’ve made it this long but after yesterday’s headache, I am ready to throw down the money for one.  It also looks like a netti pot is in my future.  She even gave me the measurements of the solution you need to use.  I might try to make do without the pot and see what happens.  :)  Hopefully I will start to feel better soon and my headaches will go away and I will be able to breathe again.

When I moved from Alabama I got really homesick during football season.  Even though Texas is a big football state finding the Auburn game on TV was not easy.  One day I was looking at the Auburn website and realized there was an alumni group in Austin.  I immediately contacted the person in charge and started going to the watch parties.  The group was pretty small but it was nice to be able to watch the games and have other fans around.  Now that I’m in Raleigh, it seems the Auburn games are easier to find.  But again I found the local Alumni group.  The first year I was here I went to watch parties a good bit.  The bar they meet at is/was awful.  Before Raleigh passed the smoking ban this place was filled with smokers.  I would leave and have to take a shower at home.  EW!  Then I met M and he has season tickets to State so I get to watch Auburn around State games.

Today I got the email for the Auburn watch party this weekend.  The State game is Thursday night so I am free to have my Auburn day.  Only the email said they were also including door prizes and free food this weekend.  Big whoop right.  OMG hell yes you are right!  The are bringing in my FAVORITE college food.  Guthries!!!!!!!!!!!!  I <3 some Guthries special sauce.  To the point that M and I will go to the watch party if only long enough to get some Texas toast and sauce.  I am only a little excited!!!!  YAY!!!!!!  Oh the memories that stuff brings back of hung-over morning trips to Guthries for toast, fries and sauce.  Ahhhh, those were the days.
