Lecca Bang,

I have discovered that the worst thing in the world is. It's a sore throat. I know what you're thinking right now, "Rachel, please list for me the reasons you have come to this conclusion." I shall Becca, oh I shall:

1) THEY SUCK!
2) While they are not enough to completely debilitate you like some illnesses, they make your life miserable with constant pain, which is worse because you have to actually work, but with burning pain in your throat
3) You can't talk
4) You can't sing (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)
5) Sometimes it's so bad it hurts to swallow. HURTS TO SWALLOW BECCA! A BASIC HUMAN NECESSITY!
6) THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all reality, this time I am over dramatizing my current situation of ill-health for comidc effect. While my throat does hurt and I do find it rather annoying, it is actually not that bad comparatively and I usually get other symptoms after the sore throat, which I have not recevied yet and hopefully never will.

If I can't swoon over Jake Gyllenhaal because he MIGHT be DATING T. Swift, then you can't swoon over Ryan Reynolds who is MARRIED to Scarlett Johanson or however you spell it.

Did you know that every time I type a blog to you I have a blank word document open for spell check? Clearly it doesn't always help me.

I tried Extra gum's new dessert flavors. Just so you know, this is they kind of gum they have in heaven. Strawberry Shortcake, Key lime Pie....mmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm going to try and wake up early black friday just so I can go to Target and get a coffee maker for $3 just so you can have coffee when you come to visit me when I live on my own. I hope you appreciate this sacrifice that I am making for you. And if you don't, I hope my $3 coffee maker burns your coffee.

They don't have Psych online yet. This ENRAGES ME!

Hey, remember how we got tickets to see Harry Potter on Saturday? Yeh.

I'm assuming your mom doesn't read this blog so I'll tell you what I got her. You know how she used to write songs but hasn't in a while? I got her a notebook of blank sheet music to encourage her to write songs again.

Matt at the gym gave me permission to take one workout class for free. Good business move Matt, now I will go to a class, realize I can't live without classes, and upgrade my membership so you and your gym get an extra 10 buckaroos a month. Clever Matt Catalogna. Clever. Speaking of Matt Catalogna, how do you think his last name is pernounced, like it looks, or like bologna?

Yesterday was a big day in the Fuhrman household. Matthew Fuhrman, the youngest of the clan, turned the big 2-1! I think I was more excited than he was lol. We went out to dinner at The Olive Garden where I went with the Venetian theme, Venetian Apricot Chicken for dinner and a Venetian Sunset for my drink (it had the wine UNICON got for this weekend so I thought I'd try it out. I couldn't really taste the alcohol so I can't say for certain if it's good).

This is a long post. I would apologize but I don't believe in that.

Tonight is UNICON's downtown happy hour. FREE BOOZE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I invited Matt since it was his birthday yesterday. I'm excited.

I need to finish my laundry so I can pack for this weekend.

But I won't do that right now since I'm at work.

The Tribe Has Spoken,
Rachel

P.S. THIS WEEKEND IS GONNA BE AWESOME!
