So my blood tests from the doctor's office came back today, and everything looks okay except ... I apparently have high cholesterol. Dun dun DUUUUUNNN! It's at 144 (below 130 is supposed to be ideal), and they want to put me on some kind of medication to lower it. I'm like, um, can't I just try and lower it naturally first? I'm not really a medication-type person. I will take Aleve during that time of the month, but that's about it.
OMG I found the best thing at the used book store today. There is a "follow up" to The Notebook!! It's like FANFIC, only written by the original author. Bwahahahaha.
It's called "The Wedding."
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks comes the long-awaited follow-up to his classic tale of enduring love, The Notebook. After 30 years, Wilson Lewis, son-in-law to Noah and Allie (of The Notebook fame), is forced to admit that the romance has gone out of his marriage. Despite the shining example of his in-laws' 50-year love affair, Wilson himself is a man unable to express how he truly feels. With the distractions of his daughter's upcoming wedding he is forced to realize how close he is to losing his own wife Jane. But if Wilson is sure of anything, it's this: His love for his wife has only intensified over the years, and he wants nothing more than to make their marriage work. Now, with the memories of his in-laws' inspiring life together as his guide, Wilson pledges to find a way to make his wife fall in love with him...again.
I have also re-collected all of the books in the Flowers in the Attic series, which I haven't read since junior high. Jade and Amelia have never read them, and I'm going to expose them to the horror. Mwahahahaha.
I have now heard both the Chad Kroeger and Alex Band versions of "Why Don't You and I" and I have to say that I much prefer Alex's. I have no problem w/ Nickelback, but Chad's version just sounds totally wrong, not like a fun, peppy little love song but all dark and angsty. Which do you like?

Date: 2004-05-04 12:56 am (UTC)I know. Instead of "Hey, why don't you and I give this love thing a chance?" he's like, "Hey, why don't you and I tattoo each other's names on some part of our bodies and then kill ourselves?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Or he's like, "Hey, I like your pants around your feet, I like the way you still say please when you're looking up at me." Which doesn't scream "Since the moment I spotted you, like walking round with little wings on my shoes, my stomach's filled with butterflies." Know what I'm saying?
Not that there's anything wrong with saying please. Being polite is always a plus.

Bwahahahaha, yeah, no shit. What's bizarro is that Chad Kroeger actually did write the damn thing.
I still don't really get what the big deal was. I mean, I'm glad they had to redo it because I don't think I'd like the song nearly as much, but Chad's version is on the Santana CD, so... wtf.
