i seriously thought it was going to be the end of pigmint strips when yesterday i was diagnosed with strep throat, and suffered severe fever chills for about 24 hours straight.

after sweating buckets away, i am now alive and seemingly well.

hanging on with claws of desperation, i was sending text messages like, "you can have my vhs collection," and "i want you to know that i've always loved you and by the way, i have always really hated how you part your hair and let that one curl fall on your forehead."

but, to everyone's dismay, i woke up somewhat refreshed, and it no longer feels like someone is shoving needles down my throat when i swallow, so i can start eating again. yay!

progress with the strips are coming along. the second book should be done by .. mmm, a week. i am trying to think of a good title for it. suggestions, comments welcome.

i don't know how long it is going to be yet, but it shouldn't be longer than 40 pages.

and the thank you page won't be as comprehensive this time, since i thanked all you !@#$'s so generously in Romance 101.

OH YES! i ordered two ophelia shirts from cafepress.com last week and they came in the mail today! the quality of the shirts are really nice (most of them are by companies like american apparel and this one shirt is by this company called, Hyp) and they printed out perfectly....so, buy my tee-shirts, buy away!!

and on that note...

that is all.
