I'm Back...

Okay, after one of my worst weekends ever, I'm finally starting to feel better :)

I didn't get to update my blog as I had planned, sorry.
Ugh, I thought I was going to die... my ear infection got worse, and I got a throat infection... and *sob* it kept me from eating. From eating! People, I am not someone who can go without food. I'm that person, that while eating dinner, thinks about breakfast! I'm the one that thinks it's okay to eat my main course and dessert together. My dream meal? A buffet, of course :)
So trust me... I was not a person you wanted to talk to this weekend... especially not about something you just ate or drank. (As my boyfriend quickly learned *eg*)

To make things worse, someone decided that it might be nice to break my driver's side window with a baseball bat. Sweet, huh? So there went money that could have gone to buying me more book *sniff*. I just thank God that they didn't take anything from the car... or the car itself :)

So now, I'm feeling a bit better, and finally, hope to get things going again... so please come back for the latest book news and giveaways :)
