YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

Nick, The new tunes sound soooo good! It was so nice seeing you and Carl in Aspen (and it looks like the rest of your trip was really fun too!). Look forward to seeing you and Hitomi soon...
Saw you guys at the Monterey Next Generation festival. Just wanted to say it was some of the most original big band composition I've heard. Reminded me a bit of Peter Apfelbaum. I don't know, I might go to hell for saying that, but it did.
hey! It was good seeing you guys playing such a wonderful music at Monterey Bay last weekend. My parents and I really enjoyed the uniqueness of your music. Thanks for the invitation and the awesome works! I love your music, Hitomi and Nick!
