Peeking out from under the duvet
I'm alive.
Still congested in every single head cavity (even in my mouth, which is stuffed with comfort food. Does that count?), but there is some life left in me yet.
Just wanted to surface quickly and thank you all for your well-wishes and for the attempts at sending soup.
Of course, I realized in retrospect that I never would've been able to receive the soup in time for it to still be hot, because I have dial-up.
And I think you'll agree: that awful fact alone is more than enough to make ANYBODY ill.

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger;
by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano,
and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column.
If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you canstalk her send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com
The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)

I'm starting to feel sick FOR you... Dial-up? You poor, poor thing!
i'm still sick too. we can be sick together over the internet. :)
picky, picky!
No Kimberly darling! I don't mind the cold soup! (In fact, I'm grateful for anything edible and drinkable. My standards are very low when it comes to nourishment. Except carrots. Don't like carrots.) It's the fact that I still have archaic dial-up that makes me ill!
cold soup... so what? wha, don't they have microwave ovens in South Africa when you were growing up?
get well soon!
No worries, Red, I can send the soup to you via my hotmail address, which should keep it warm.
I'm pouring chicken soup into my keyboard for you. Did you get it?
I hope you get betjsn jxodn. udDu fnso eu@m uos vas eynd iams us^s# %8sn aknw ht leysnabed foesn$2 Ys4n)
Mikey...what exactly is a microwave oven. You've really got me there.
Dial Up the bane of my existence as wel... that makes me sick too... is there a sanitorium for dialuppers?
What if it's homemade soup with carrots in it? Or made with a vegetable broth that has carrots? (how much hate of carrots are we talking about here?)
get better sooooon red!
awwwww.... feel better. If you want, I'll eat some soup over here in your honor.
Red,
Been away from the blog world for awhile... didn't even know you were sick. What's the deal? Get better soon, kay?
Miked
P.S.
I don't know if you have it, but Buckley's always does the trick for me... tastes aweful, but it works
I don't know if there's a sanitorium for us dial-uppers. Maybe there's an Insanitorium, though?
