What color are your boogers?

John gave me his cold. Pretty sure this is the cause:
Were you just sucking on this? Yum!

And of course being the energetic, resilient boy that he is, this cold has not affected him really at all...nothing slows this boy down.
But it is kicking my ass. It won't go away. It's hunkered down in my nose, throat and chest and continues to produce the stickiest and most annoying gunk. Gunk which I had to describe in detail to my OB/GYN so she could be sure I didn't need antibiotics. Which pregnant women aren't supposed to take...along with pretty much all other drugs to help the mama feel better. I'm down to throat lozenges and Benadryl at night, but only if I can't sleep due to too much coughing. So tonight it's Benadryl.

On the happier side of this cold, there is a great Curious George episode about a germ named Toots who is making George sick. Toots sings and plays guitar, and really is quite a fun guy to watch, so John and I cuddle in front of the TV with our booger-crusted noses and watch Toots and swing our feet and feel a little better.

The Inside Story - George doesn't feel so well. He's sneezing and can't taste Chef Pisghetti's sauce. He learns that he has a germ inside that's given him a cold. George wishes he could make the germ go away so he could feel better. Gnocchi curls up with George and they both go to sleep. In his dream, George wakes up inside himself, with Gnocchi at his side. They are facing that pesky germ - the bluesy, singing Toots and his Germettes, who have set up camp inside George. George wants them to leave, but they are having a wonderful time and never want to go! George and Gnocchi chase Toots through George's body (nose, stomach and lungs) in an effort to evict him. Will they succeed? And if so, how?
BTW -- Curious George is produced by Ron Howard and William H. Macy was the narrator for the first season...not too shabby.
