Lots and lots of things going on right now, and so very little time to write about them

-sick right now, but getting better (I think). Aches are nearly gone, but throat's still sore and my voice is going. I hate being sick. :(

-watched Sense and Sensibility earlier with other femoles... it really hit home. I've heard some say that Marianne's marriage to Colonel Brandon is one of convenience, but I beg to differ. I think it's more that she didn't realize a genuinely good person when she saw one, and it took the awful experience with Willoughby to make her realize what a terrific and caring person Brandon really was. But perhaps that's just me. Anyone else?

-Met Sam's parents - they're really nice. I just wish I hadn't gotten sick the same day they arrived! Talk about bad timing. :(

-Davee, the best riding teacher EVER, is no longer teaching at 3D Farms. Or teaching anywhere. :( :( She chalked it up to the attitude shift of her partners from having fun to being super-competitive, plus being broke... 3D Farms has lost an excellent teacher. She's now doing bartending, which pays more, and might consider coming back to teach later... but isn't too interested in that at the moment.
Gahhh... she was the reason that Yussanne and I switched over to 3D Farms. Diane and Dorian are decent teachers, but they sure as heck aren't Davee. I don't know what I'm going to do with riding now... it rocked with Davee as a teacher.

-Sam's birthday's coming up on the 19th, Abby's is on the 20th.
