Last Sunday, my daughter succumbed to the H1N1 virus, and by Tuesday had developed a minor case of pneumonia. Meanwhile, I ended up with bronchitis, a sinus infection and an ear infection. By Wednesday, we were sick, sick of each other and sick of ... http://blog.kudzu.com/?p=1726 I need to color my hair in a bad way. I just didn't time my visits to the salon right, and now I've got roots and grays. My appointment this Saturday cannot come fast enough.

Actually, I've been playing dumb. "I don't even know where I can get it," I told my dad when he called to recite the long list ... http://blog.kudzu.com/?p=1671 Okay, I'm not talking about boiling bunnies or stalking a celebrity (Wentworth Miller of "Prison Break" fame, you have been warned), but I do indeed have a problem.
