Of course, she was absolutely adorable as Gertie in ET! I liked her in Riding in Cars with Boys, Music & Lyrics, and 50 First Dates. Not sure I really identify with any celebrities...will have to think about that one. Hope you are having a good week - I;ve been too busy for much blog visiting lately! Sue I like Drew, too.

But Vogue magazines & orders from ASOS marketplace as discovered my finances/wardrobe does not need to suffer at the expense of being ill! Have tissues for the film. My Mum & I watched a while ago - I didn't watch it all as found it too upsetting. Sometimes not good to focus on whats wrong (as you realise a HELL of a lot!) but totally think others/friends/family should watch it! xx Sounding like my average week!

Although sadly I only have one cup of 'normal tea' a day due to my new diet! And thats defiantly the most heart warming! Finding loosing the tea harder than the wine!!

I always loved the motto- 'There's nothing a good cup of tea can't make better' of something like that- until CFS/ME came into my life, and sadly, somedays the tea does not make that any better! Although there are other days when it is a blessing :) Love this- Tea is magic.

My current favourite tea is Jessie's Tea from David's Tea. It has organic rooibos, lavender, and sweetened coconut pieces. It's amazingly good and is the perfect tea for me because it's naturally caffeine free. If you've never tried rooibos tea, I highly recommend trying it!

I am also often overwhelmed by the volume of information on FB, blogs, and the rest of the web (I've resisted Twitter so far because I need SOME unconnected time). As for me, the major thing bugging me this past week is school administrators and teachers who make every tiny request into a big negotiation. Talk about control issues! WTH is wrong with these people?? My kid is horribly sick - just help him! Whew...Ok, thanks, I feel better. Sue Wow, you have some good ones on the list today, Annie.

It helps me to build muscle and burn fat slowly enough that it doesn't make me sick. It's also very calming. I also take a great deal of enjoyment out of whatever chores or errands I'm able to accomplish in a day. Also, naps. Naps, naps, naps and more naps. The more sleep I get the better I feel! Try to at least take a 'rest' every day, normally after lunch. I’ve recently started doing a gentle yoga routine in the mornings after breakfast.

Just a random fact I would share - most of my health issues started around 18-20 though, and both of us has had problems recently now that we are in our mid to late 20s. On another note, when my skin can't stand to be touched I make sure to wear super comfy, soft, elastic waistband type clothes. I'm thinking about looking into satin sheets, sometimes even flannel feels like it hurts.
