That's even worse Esme. At least I got the party part :)

[SilverBlueberry]

I know. I must be getting old. ;) But for a period there I wonder why I always felt like crap after parties. Turned out it was red wine's fault. If I stick to white and bubbly I'm okay.

[kimberlybelldesigns]

Bought some sheet at $29.84. Shouldn't have done it but couldn't resist. Back to the studio. Maybe I'll finish my "sandwich" today.

[tessjordandesigns]

I had red wine too. I definitely always feel much worse when I drink red wine.

[SilverBlueberry]

Why shouldn't you Kim? It's a good price!

[SilverBlueberry]

Apparently there is something called RWH = red wine headache

[Former_Member]

Esme, I'm in the " feels hungover without having partied" group too and I'm swallowing my b-complex, vitamin C, and calcium with my morning coffee.

I know what I really need is about a weeks' worth of sleeping in and afternoon nappings.

Still did not start on "sandwich" but I have done a quick inventory and have an order ready for when the time feels right.

[SilverBlueberry]

Phew Lina, not just me then.

My sandwich will be weird. Lol, I wrote 'sadwich' first.

[lsueszabo]

esme- i have a sick headache today and no red wine either. and i like weird :)

[Former_Member]

hi all.

silver is below 30 bucks? crazy. I hope it keeps going down :)

Red Wine has the most sugar from what I understand. That might be why.

[lsueszabo]

i love red wine- glad it doesn't give me headaches.
gabby- i just sent your spiders out this afternoon- they're heading your way.
what are you up to today? it's a paperwork kinda day here for me since i'm too rough around the edges to do anything else. making potato soup for dinner.

[SilverBlueberry]

Sugar gives me no headaches. ;)

[Former_Member]

Hi Sue :) YAY. I am excited.

I am having the hardest time staying awake today. Roller Derby is kicking my a** and I can't stop eating :(

Potato soup sounds so good, with a nap to back it up after :)

[lsueszabo]

i'll go for soup, then nap.
you have got to post a pic of yourself in your roller derby kick ass gear.
i'm off for a bit to do a little reading.

[BodeesJewelry]

Margaritas give me a killer hangover, but I love them. I hate sweet drinks.
I'm holding out for lower silver prices, and I hope I don't regret it.

[kimberlybelldesigns]

Over doing the red wine always makes me feel yuck the next day. I think it's tannens (sp?) in it that do that.
I finished my Sandwich and found a stone to gypsy set the hole I made too big. I'm pretty proud of it.
Hope every one feels better tomorrow. I'm heading back to the bench until dinner time.

[lsueszabo]

yay kimberly! i'm getting ready for a bit of dinner- hope i can taste this yummy potato soup with my plugged up schnoz.

[cgwhitfield]

Also can't do red wine, headache making for me. May have exceeded my lifetime quota when young.

[Former_Member]

I'm just now starting to dabble in wines and work on acquiring the taste for it. I love sweet red wines though.

[Former_Member]

....may have to bust one open tonight: I just got a promotion! YAY!

[LauraStasa]

Hi!

How strange? I too woke up feeling horrid and slept like crap last night. Same with DH. I wonder if there was some sort of solar or planetary disturbance that we don't know about. it's weird that so many here would wake up feeling this way.

I'm holding out until tomorrow to see where metal prices are in the morning. If they keep climbing I'll put a rio order in. I don't really need that much but with silver under 30. it may be a good time to buy.

Edited to say: Congrats Jenn!

[lsueszabo]

congrats on promotions.
yes, sort of weird that many here don't feel well today.
we had another day last week where alot of us just had shitty things happening to us on the same day. interesting coincidences?

[cgwhitfield]

Or weather related? Atmospheric changes can trigger incipient sinus stuff.

Or is that a myth?

[kimberlybelldesigns]

I just hope the "feeling bad" doesn't get down my way. I have too much to do this to be sick.

[kimberlybelldesigns]

I do believe it can be weather related no matter what the experts might say.
