Learning to Fight the Flu First!

As my friends know, I always get the Flu around this time of year. I can remember going to nationals, and being so sick that I could not get out of bed after competing. However this year I decided to wage war against this nasty little sickness!!! My boss talked me into getting a flu shot back in the fall. We give them at work on one Saturday during the fall, and it's free with my works insurance. However, it took her all morning to get me to do it. I always believed that the virus was live, but I learned that it is dead. So you will not get the flu, by just getting the shot. So far so good, no flu.
However, sickness is once again going around at work. So, today I stopped by to talk to the pharmacist at work. My question to him was, "What's the best thing to fight the flu, or flu like symptoms?" Now, you must picture this. I was standing behind the counter reading all the locked up over the counter drugs, wondering which was the best. To my surprise he suggested Sambucol. It was created by a virologist, and it has been clinically tested. Sambucol is a black elderberry immune system booster. Basically a dietary supplement. However, he told me that elderberry extract boost your immune system, and taking it as directed will decease the days of your flu symptoms in half. Well, I thought why not, so I bought it. Just in case you are wondering, yes it taste awful, but in the end it will be worth it. I am not getting sick this time!

Cool!

While I was killing time on the computer, I came across this new blog. I just could not get over how cool there stuff was. Who would have ever thought that a silhouette could be so pretty, stylish, and trendy. So check out Silhouette Sisters. There button is on the right side of my page.

Looking Back.....

at the past year.

Sending Love,

Sending love and prayers to a family that lost a loved one today. It's so hard to lose someone you love, especially a child.

Not Me Monday!

I saw this on Toree's blog, and thought it was perfect for my day. So here goes....

I did not wake up and arrive at work at 4 a.m. I did not bust it all day, just to find out the head cheese was not coming to walk the store. I did not have to deal with all the people whom seem to have lost their Christmas spirit, and are mean. I did not have an allergy attack, when I went back to the fitting room. My eyes did not water for two hours, and my nose did not start running. I did not drop a gallon of water that busted on impact. Leaving my socks wet for the rest of the day. I did not leave work at 5:30. I did not have to pump gas in the extremely cold weather with wet feet. Last but not least, I did not break my house key.

You got to love Monday's......

Today is the biggest shopping day of the season. It is so unfortunate that someone had to lose their life, over a couple of sale items. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the "temporary" worker, who was trampled today. I hope that businesses big or small will learn from the events of today. I also hope that consumers will realize that a sale is not worth trampling over someone.

The BIGGEST Shopping Day of the Year!!!

Today is Black Friday and I am so glad that it is over for me. I was up at 2 a.m., to be at work by 4 a.m. When I got there, we only had a few people waiting outside. Oh, but boy did that change in an hour. I went to let a team member in the door, and the line was around the building. Needless to say, it has been one really busy and long day. So thank you to everyone who went out and supported the economy today. Keep it up, we need it more than ever.
