I taunted. Apparently, I touched a nerve.
Payback is hell, and I have the snot to prove it. What’s that? Speak up, for congestion’s sake, because my head is so full of gunk that I cannot hear you. I had to turn up my Murder She Wrote rerun so loud that Sheriff Tupper can hear it in heaven (God rest your soul, Tom Bosley).
That’s right. I’m watching Murder She Wrote and making a list on a notepad – the kind made of actual paper. I’m also bundled up in my husband’s sweatshirt and surrounded by used tissues.
Hypothesis: Cedar Fever causes rapid aging.
Like I was saying, it never pays to be mean. So I’m apologizing to you, the cedar trees of the world. I’m sorry I said such hurtful things about your intelligence and beauty. To be fair, you have neither, but I’m still sorry. Are you happy now that I’m contrite? Can you give up and leave us all alone now?
Yeah, not the greatest apology ever. Hopefully the trees bought it, though.
As for the business…
- The new and improved Wonder, Friend unveiling is about one week away. I’m so excited my ears just popped! But I wanted to let all my readers – all nine of you who stuck with me through the blog boycott of ’11 – that the site may be down off and on for the next week. It may be down all weekend, plus a day or two next week. I don’t have specifics, but just know that if you pop by and can’t find me, that’s what’s going on.
- Speaking of new and improved, I’m looking for guest posts. From you! If you’re interested, contact me and I’ll send you the details. The short version: I want to feature a wide variety of writers (you don’t have to be a blogger) on the new site. You can post about anything – serious or silly, long or short – as long as you are wondering about something. Want in? Tweet or Facebook me, or leave a comment here, and I’ll send you more information. And as always, I’m happy to return the favor. In fact, I would be honored to post for you any time.
That’s all for today. I’d write more, but I have to go pour salt water in one nostril and hope it comes out through the other nostril.
See you next week (hoping to get a post or two up, even though there will be some downtime).







Look forward to seeing the new site, feel better soon!
Love that you are trying to cure yourself with the netipot! Can’t wait to see the new site AND you soon!
I’m so glad to see you back! Sorry about the crud currently rocking your world. But thank goodness for cable TV.
Looking forward to your new site. I’ve been checking in on you every now and again and knew you would surface when you were ready!
Hurray for the new site! Can’t wait to see it!
OooOOOooo…new site…
It’s like unwrapping a Christmas present…only in January.
So, you want me to write for you?
I mean, I’ll try not to embarass you or anything.
I also promise not to use the f word.
Sorry you’ve got the yucks! Is it just pollen or one of those pesky colds that flit through the atmosphere this time of year? My husband has a doozy of a cold right now and he cannot understand why I’m not interested in anything related to hanky panky. I’m like, “Dude, do you not understand the very basics of spreading germs?” Soooo, now that I’ve filled you up with TMI, I need to potentially save your life. If you’re using a saline rinse, good. If you’re using a Neti pot or anything that involves the use of your own water, please make sure it’s distilled water. We’ve had 3 deaths here in the South recently, due to people using regular water in their Neti pots. Some science fiction-y brain-eating organism that comes from bacteria in regular water.
And now that I’ve given you TMI and a PSA, I’d like to say, Yay for you and you new site! I can’t wait to see it.
