I sure wish there was a spray can of flu bug repellent.
We have had that pesky flu and probably his brothers and cousins in our house pretty much since Christmas. We are sick for a few days, then feeling better for a few days then sick for a couple days then better for a few days then sick.
I’m so sick of sick.
This last bug was the worst. Must have been the Queen Bug. I was so sick a couple nights ago that all I could do the entire night was lie in bed and sob. I didn’t eat anything bet a few bites of cold cereal for almost 4 days, and had no energy – could not even walk up the stairs from the basement laundry room without being lightheaded and totally exhausted on those last couple of steps. I’m just now able to eat a regular meal and am starting to get some energy back. Actually did 3 loads of laundry. Well, washed it anyways.
Let’s hope this is the end of the flu in these parts. Please.

Steve Cropper is a musician’s musician. He’s had a little bit of face recognition type of celebrity gigs, but mostly he works behind the scenes. He is probably the second most infamously accomplished musician, with Paul Shaeffer being the #1 in that category. I love them both for the way they remind me of my father, but I have had a serious crush on Steve Cropper for probably. . . oh, 40 years, give or take.
The most notorious role Steve played was guitar player in the Blues Brothers movies as part of The Blues Brothers Band. He was SOOO ’70’s in that too long hair and too long beard – almost a ZZ Top wannabe thing going on. But he got his big break much much earlier than that when he was writing music and playing with Booker T and the MGs.
Remember “Green Onions?” Steve Cropper.
Remember “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay?” Written by Steve for Otis.

Love that guy and I totally freak out every time I see him – it is SOOO hard to keep my cool and not run up to him gushing like a stupid groupie. But my crush on Steve continues to be a secret from him – unless he starts reading my blog!

Once upon a time there were three sisters.
I’m the oldest. Oh yes, old is OK. I’ve embraced my age and loving it.
Then there’s Monica and Ellen.
Then there’s a passle of brothers, but this is a sister shout out.
They both blog (see that blogroll over there?) and although we don’t see each other all that often with all these miles between us, we stay in touch with emails and phone calls and I think we’re pretty close.
Hugs to my sisters!
