hot dogs, chocolate malts and a sore throat

dude....'nuf said. i am SICK! I can't BELIEVE THIS! three days ago i woke up with a tight throat...only slightly tight though. yesterday was a tinsy bit worse....today sucked and now i cannot even sleep!!!! i am so pissed. It hurts so bad just to try and swallow that i cannot sleep...i'm pissed. and to throw a log onto the fire, the power went out over here for like 2 hours right in the middle of my movie (stardust)and jonathan made me run around in the dark trying to catch him b/c he kept flashing that damn flashlight on and off in my face....haha...okay actually that was kind fo fun and funny....., i went to look at another condo today that i was hoping had some potential and had my hopes SMASHED to the ground....i could go on and on....anyways. There were some good points about today ie: jonathan, nikolas and i all went to my favorite place on earth "Jonnie Beefs." For those of you who are sadly unaware of its existence, it is only the greatest hot dog place EVER!!! And....i have yet to find a chocolate malt in the valley that can rival this man's.....oh it is so fabulous! So basically, jonathan and i go there saturday afternoons when we are out and about anyways (we've beend oing this since the 2nd week nik had been home from the hospital) and i always order the same thing, a utah dog and chocolate malt. And it is GREAT because now i walk in, i am standing in line behind some WT couple taking too damn long to pick a freaking hot dog and he sees me and asks "What kind of malt today?" (Sometimes i change up the flavor to strawberry....very rarely though) so....the recognition is nice. But then...to make it even sweeter....instead of giving me the regular size, he just dumps the malt and all the left overs from it in a huge cup!!!! I LOVE THE MAN! Oh and it was a GLORIOUS malt to be sure. you guys have GOT to check this place out! First of all the man who owns it takes pride in his establishment. he is ALWAYS there to make sure everything is running smoothely etc, he gets to know his customers and appreciates them, greets you and says goodbye when you leave and he really is from chicago so he's got the original chicago dog thing goin' on. i'm telling you.....this isn't your run-of-the-mill hot dog joint....we're talkin' "quality dogs" dude....mmmmmmmm....okay that's all. Peace out.

Ummm...okay normally I would be all about a hotdog but w/ this pregnancy they make me want to BARF! NASTINESS! I am sorry you are sick and I am sorry that I am not there to hang out w/ you and go get choco malts or watch Stardust. I am missing my twin today. I love you!
