Despite the plague…
The husb got sick early last week, and I thought I might be able to sneak through the week without catching it from him. WRONG! It knocked me on my back. You know that feeling like there are hundreds of little germ battles being fought all over your body? I had that. For like two days. One morning the husb went to work and I realized I still had to get up and take the dog out, and I wanted to cry.
Yuck! Anyhoo, I’m back to about 80%… you won’t catch me on the treadmill, and you wouldn’t want me snurfling next to you in a movie theatre or anything, but I can go up and down stairs and even talk coherently on the phone (unlike Friday, when of course I decided it was a good time to call my agent). Sort of like drunk-dialing… more like Dayquil-dialing.
So despite the sickness, some very fun and cool things this weekend… one is a big surprise that I can’t really talk about except to say that it is something very awesome to do with Bad Girls Don’t Die.
The other thing is that Winston and I went to a free trial for a canine agility class, and Winston was great at all of the little tasks. I knew he would be. To speak in technical terms, he is good at behaviors, plural, but not at behavior, the concept.
The husb just got home from grocery shopping, and the way I feel toward a brand new carton of orange juice right now is like Edward Cullen toward Bella Swan. Therefore I must take my leave.
But cool things are coming! And if you’re reading this, Agent M, the thing I said wasn’t going to happen did happen! And it was cool. (And sorry I Dayquil-dialed you.)

Very mysterious, hopefully you feel better and can let us in on the good news soon.
C’mon, just take another swig of DayQuil and let it spill, already.
Also, I think I came down with something just reading your blog… thanks.
You?re such a tease! You speak enigmatically and expect no inquiries? LOL. Inquiring, poky and nosy minds want to know what?s up the Bad Girls Don?t Die:0)
Glad you are almost over your cold. I?m just feeling better over the one I came down with last Thursday. But getting back to the first meddlesome inquiry of your book…;0)
Patti, yes, very soon. I don’t want to oversell it… it might not be good news as much as just something very cool. I guess we can all judge that together, LOL.
Jason, ahhh… Nyquil… you’re speaking my language! And you know what? The way this illness hit me, I believe it could be transmitted over the internet. It’s evil, evil I tell you! Nothing three days of lying perfectly still won’t cure.
Tom, seriously, everyone is sick! Everyone we know has had something over the past week. Okay, so now I’m worried I’m making too big a deal out of this Bad Girls thing. Anyway, it’s better than the old Owl Bag, which was a lesson to us all, I hope (well, mostly me). I’m flattered that you are all so intrigued!
Good news is cool news and anything to do with Bad Girls is great news!
Larramie, I agree completely!
rats katie… hope your well again, quickslike
Now I’m going have to come back here often until I find out what it is!
