Unfortunately I seem to have picked up the latest cold that's going around (I'm going to blame this one on the guy who was hacking up a lung while reading Donald Trump's book, "Think Like a Champion," on my flight home from Chicago), so I'll be back to blogging as soon as I feel fashionable and funny again.

I'm currently looking for some fabulous sponsors for October and beyond (see the sidebar on the right for examples). If you have a small business, etsy shop, blog, Nigerian bank account, or just want to rent ad space to confess your undying love for your Starbucks barista, please feel free to email me for all the details. My rates are super affordable and I'd love to talk to you!

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone an absolutely totally amazingly awesome adjective-filled 2009! Thank you so much for helping to make this year one of my best ever. I have so much love and gratitude for all of you--from the secret lunch break readers to the daily commenters.
