Link Love: Pass the Kleenex Edition!

So, I really was getting better. I was about 80% better and on my way to 100%. And then… I relapsed. Like, ridiculously…I should buy stock in Kleenex at this point. My husband relapsed too. When he went to the doctor to get the miracle cough medicine that has flowers and unicorns coming out of it, his doctor said this flu bug is no joke and it is spreading like wildfire. Everyone is getting it. Consider yourself lucky if the flu bug has not knocked on your door yet. And also, I’m jealous…of your immune system…

But being sick has allowed me to permanently attach myself to the couch and watch Downton Abbey which I am in loooooove with! I have been waiting and waiting for season 3 and I am so excited it’s back Anyone else watch this lovely show?

I’ve also been reading blogs, yo…

I really like downton abbey. I watched the first season on netflix, but the second season is not available yet so I’m taping season 3 so I’m ready to go once I watched season 2. Have a great weekend and hope you’re feeling better!

Thanks so much for the mention! Sorry you’re not feeling well. We’ve had a few good friends have the flu recently and I know it’s been a bear to have. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Hope you feel better! I feel like everyone is talking about Downtown Abbey and yet I have no clue what it is. I will have to watch it soon.

  Thanks Michelle! I think you’ll like it once you start watching it. A-maz-ing, seriously!

Are you faking it so you can watch Downtown Abbey :p ? Just kidding, I hope you get well soon. I heard wonders about that show but am not into historical stuff so haven’t watched yet. Have a nice weekend!

This is the second reference to Downton Abbey I’ve read today. I guess I need to get hip to this show! Feel better soon. I had the flu a few weeks ago and it sucks.

  This flu is hanging on for dear life
  
  Downton Abbey is a great show; you’ll love it!

I love Pauline’s question! I’d totally fake it for that show. I made the decision to wait on Season 3 until the DVDs come out. After watching all the first two seasons via Netflix back to back to back, I can’t stand the wait between episodes!

  Ha, I know right? Anything for Downton Abbey!

  Totally know what you mean; I haven’t been sick in 3 years and then it’s like BAM! I guess, this flu is to make up for my lack of cough drop buying in the past 36 months
  
  Have a good weekend!
