Elise got sick. Then I

Elise got sick. Then I got sick. Then my parents, my brother came home from South Beach and they were all sick. And now we're all sick. Still. Horribly. I took some NyQuil about twenty-five minutes ago... so you know... I'm getting there real fast.

I sat around the house and wished for a working brain today. So much sitting! So cloudy I was! But then there was this momentary break in the clouds of feverish delerium, so I wrote a story.

So it's now Wednesday and there is a new story over at Ribcage. It's a very special story, because you can really feel the fever and the cold medicine coming through in the text. You see, it's called... Moon Wine For Witches.

KitchenAid was a sponsor at the South Beach festival my father just appeared at... KitchenAid loves us by the way... and we love our red KitchenAid gadgets! They gave my parents a red coffee bean grinder, which is fantastic because our red coffeemaker's bean compartment isn't large enough to grind an entire pot of coffee. Then they gave us a red chopper type gadget that's much like a miniature food processor, not to be confused with our actual red food processor that we already have. And then a red spatula that will go great with our red pots and pans. And finally they're FedExing us pasta-making and sausage making attachments for our giant red mixer.

And apparently a giant box of South Beach sponsors gifts is being FedExed as well. Not sure what to expect, but the letter claiming this rattled off all of the companies contributing to the package and this list was twenty long. Target, Kenneth Cole, Lucky Brand... it went on forever.

More free stuff!
