And I should be sleeping but I had to stay up and watch the Packers play Dallas. Favre was hurt and out of the game. Rodgers came in and kicked some Cowboy butt but just couldn't pull it off. Weird how Favre has never won in Dallas. I think all that warm weather disagrees with him. Or maybe he gets distracted by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Whatever it is, I lost the bet with Tim S. and so I now have to write and record a song all about how "godlike" Tony Romo and his bullies are. I still say he's only as good as he is because he was raised on the fine cheese of Wisconsin!
I found out today that one of the articles I wrote at Helium.com may have been stolen. Alex found it on a site called Dog Monthly or something like that. It's a piece I wrote about a little dog I once had. On Helium, they can distribute the articles I submit to other sites but if they do, I get paid for them. I wasn't paid. I emailed the kind folks at Helium and they knew nothing about this so they are looking into for me so we'll see what happens with this. It's funny though. I've been writing the odd article at Helium just to get some more experience writing. I never even thought about trying to get something published and then this happens which makes me think that maybe, with the right audience, I could possible get something published once in a while. So, while I'm pissed that Dog Monthly just stole the article, I have to admit I'm also a wee bit honored that they thought it was good enough to take.
On a strange note, I got to work today and suddenly doubled over with the worst pain in my lower abdomen that I've ever felt in my life. It took my breath away. I have no idea what it was and in 15 minutes it was gone. A nurse who works with me says it could have been a kidney stone but I don't know. I haven't felt any pain at all for the rest of the day and, actually, I feel great! But the whole ordeal has turned me into the biggest hypochondriac ever - at least for today. And just to let you know how strong my mother's life lessons have influenced me - as I was sitting there, bent over in pain, thinking that maybe I should call an ambulance to take me to the ER, the very first thought I had was "Am I wearing the good underwear today or did I put on a pair of the old, stretched out old ones." Ah, yes, Mom always knows best!
