Sick, Errands, New Toaster

I am really sick.
My throat feels awful and I could sing bass in a choir.  My head is stuffed and clogged and my eyes are weepy.  I ache all over.
But I had to run some errands.  Hm.
After 17 years our toaster died.  It was actually kind of sad to put it in the trash.  Why is it we get attached to inanimate objects like that?  I feel the same way about cars.  I got this one today with my 20% off and $5 off coupons at BBBeyond.
We put it right to work tonight.
Adrianne had the Beehives over and taught them how to make strawberry freezer jam.  They each went home with a large baby food jar of it.  And had to sample it before going home, of course!

 I had to go to the post office and mail a box to Nats of all the things they forgot here, then to Staples for shredder lubricant (much needed after shredding 2007 blog), and printer ink.  Dang.  Why is that SO expensive?  Do any of you get your ink at Costco?  If so, how does that work?  Ours refills cartridges, I think?

I felt so completely awful at this point that I treated myself to a frozen yogurt and came home to the couch.

Kevin B. got here around 9:30.  He is in town for his brother's wedding on Saturday.  He is staying with us for about a week.

Adrianne's Pizza Party

Adrianne's birthday was on Friday.  She and Mike went to dinner at a new place but the food was terrible.  Bummer for a birthday dinner.  We were at the family party for JT, and her Grandma's 90th bday party was yesterday so we celebrated today.
She wanted homemade pizza.  It was delicious.  But I burned my tongue on a piece right out of the oven.  I have little blister-like things on the tip and they hurt.
She asked for apple pie, so while everyone was at church--I stayed home with Shaun--I made two of them.  She and Duff love crumb topping.  Josh and Mere brought the ice cream and we had a party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRIANNIE.
Sure do love you!
