I am sick.

I am in New York City and I am sick.

And not in that “I am in New York City because a city with 8 million people in it is the only place on earth I could possibly find others of ‘my kind’” sort of sick way.

This is more of the “I woke up feeling like I’d been thrown out of a train. Then run over by a tractor. Then peed on by the guy driving the tractor.” sort of sick. My throat is so sore that I can only assume that I must have been doing shots of cheap whiskey and toilet cleaner with some random groups of hobos on aforementioned train before being thrown off, run over and peed on.

At least I had fun before all that toilet cleaner and train business.

Besides a jerk-face jackwagon that shut down security and almost made us miss our flight, we got to the city safe and fine. We are staying in an apartment next to the FABULOUS Marinka (I swear I can feel her vibes of awesome wit and hilarity seeping through the walls, people.)

This is Marinka’s favorite photo of us. Don’t we look AMAZING? ;)

We all had a GREAT time at BlogHer’s annual Holiday meet up with the likes of Liz, Lisa Stone, David Leite, Susan and the  fabulous Debbie Wogan from BlogHer (who has followed the course of Brian Joy and Lily Woo and MUST be addressed by full name in all utterences from me) and of course, Neil from Citizen of the Month.

Here we are looking very orange on a couch at the bar.

All that fun and so much work to do and I wake up sick.

I want to kick the universe in the butt.

I will settle for scarfing down some Nyquil instead.

Because, after all, I will STILL be scaring down Nyquil in New York at Christmas time!

Not bad!
