(no subject)

I feel much better than yesterday, although I am a little tired still. I slept pretty much through the night - only woke up a couple of times for a few seconds, which was such a relief. If I'd had another night like the night before last, I think I would have ended up a sobbing mess by 2am this morning. God is good to me :)

So basically, I'm just coughing like crazy. Nose isn't too bad. Have to grab some cough medicine though - my throat hurts! On the bright side, I have abs of *steel*, I tell you. Three days of coughing will do that to you. *g*

We're heading down to the bookstore this afternoon to grab a book I want and a CD iainc wants. It'll be nice to get out of the house.

I've come to the realisation over the last few weeks that I could never be just a housewife. I get bored. It'd be fine if I had kids to look after, or something to amuse me on a regular basis (that does not include housework) or I'd go stir-crazy. Sad, I know, but I like to be active.

'Baby Brides'

The cover of the latest WHO magazine here in Aus has Nicole Richie, Katie Holmes and Paris Hilton on the front, calling them 'Baby Brides'. Nicole Richie is 23, Paris Hilton is 24 and Katie Holmes is 26.

I'm just curious - what does that make *me*?

Please do not take this as an identity crisis on my part. I am merely pointing out the way the media makes assumptions for the rest of the population.
