Props to Merilily for adding the Gore/Lieberman button to her diary! Really made me smile. And Merilily is so articulate and mature - she should be allowed to vote, regardless of age. There's always the next election hon, and hopefully we'll have a chance to re-elect Al Gore.

Oh my, did anyone else catch Robert Downey Jr. in tonight's episode of Alley McBeal? He was so amusing and adorable (of course.) I would watch any show he appeared on. I will now start a thread on the discussion board regarding Robert's appearance on the aforementioned show. So comment or else.

I'm supposed to be officially on bed rest until the end of the week. I'm so bored! *pouts* Bed rest does have its advantages though. Hey! Get your minds out of the gutter. I can now read all of those magazines piled on my coffee table. And as wonderful as it would be to have someone keeping me company, I am absolutely no fun at the moment. I'm all cranky. I keep calling the upstairs line and whining to my Mom, "I'm siiiiiick. I need some tea...." She replies: "Come up here and get some then!" And hangs up. But I do enjoy annoying her.

I was a good girl and stayed in bed for most of the day on Sunday. I slept till 5:00 PM. And now I'm all manic from too much sleep. I usually only sleep for 4 hours max.

I am way too freaked out and confused to really discuss my ex-husband. Can't get the feelings into words. All I know is my skin crawls when he even tries to hug me and here I am considering moving in with him. For totally selfish reasons. Revenge even? I just know I'd be using him to escape from my family. But he did much worse things to me. See there is indeed an evil side to me. Scared yet?

I am officially pissed off at the makes of "Tide" laundry detergent. You use a product for years and all of a sudden they change the scent, without mentioning the fact on their packaging. So, I open the new bottle of "Tide" and wash my sheets noticing the different scent but not really thinking much of it. I wake up in the middle of the night and my skin feels like it's on fire. I took a few Benadryl and attempted to go back to sleep to no avail. My step-dad was kind enough to run out and get a perfume/dye free detergent for me. Once I re-washed my sheets and blankets I was fine. I was able to sleep and my skin is not bright pink anymore. Evil company! I have very sensitive skin and 'Tide' was the only detergent I could use that wouldn't cause an allergic reaction.

I feel too crappy to feel much emotion. And I hate using that damn inhaler! I promised Doug I would, but *whines* it's so annoying and makes me feel all dazed. True, I can breathe after I use the inhaler..but that's such a small detail. haha.

Check out the "Diary Survivor 2" button at the bottom of my diary. The contest will begin in late January or early February, most likely. Go to the Diary Survivor page to sign up for the notify list. If you do you'll get an application once I've completed it, sometime in December. And feel free to link with the image/URL.

This has been an utter waste-of-space diary entry from Meg...
