\*\* Oh shoot me \*\* I finally caught the flu that’s been going around my office. My throat feels like I gargled with battery acid,I’m exhausted and everything aches. Woke up this morning around 8:30 which is sleeping in for me…even managed to sleep through my parrot’s wake up calls. Talked to \*\* SP \*\* for the usual hour :),drank some tea,took some tylenol and went back to bed. Repeated every four hours. Tonight is usually Girls Night Out but since getting dressed/made up would take too much energy so… Post party here. Music’s playing,fully stocked bar and while I may be slumped in bed right now, I can virtually party at least. [sub] Plus we gotta celebrate how well the Cubbies are doing so…[/sub] ::Pops the top off of a Miller Genuine Draft Light and swigs:: ---

Poor **Hardygrrl**. Don’t you worry; you are drinking the perfect cure. Since switching from cold medicine to alcohol I have not had one cold that I remember clearly. So who wants to tango? ---

\*\* Verrain \*\* Where have you been lately? I’ve missed you. ::hugs Verrain:: Don’t know how to tango alas but I can do the “stand in one spot and grind against” dance if you’re up for it. 🙂 I’m switching from beer to screwdrivers-maybe the oj will help a little. ---

Sorry to hear that you’re under the weather. 'Flu is just beastly. Tea with lots of milk and sugar (and scotch!) is an old family recipe that will definitely set you straight! Hey, let’s get this party really started! Who wants to play Ouija?? 🙂 ---

Ginger… Of course there’s naked Twister and as soon as \*\* Arden Ranger \*\* shows up the jello pit will be set up. Creaky-You’re right about the tea. Lemon tea with honey and bourbon is really soothing to the throat. 🙂 ::sets up Twister mat and starts oiling up:: ---

Oh jeez, I forgot the jell-o shots in the car. dont\_ask, would you go get them for me? Just ignore the dozing man in the back seat - I ran into Tripler on the way over. With my car. ---

Ginger… Thank God he snores, he looked dead with his head all twisted round like that, but then there isn’t much room in the back of one of THOSE things. Here’s the jell-o shots. Say is that guy over there the one who was in that movie with that other guy…you know??? Jeez it sure looks like him. I’ll go ask. ---

Hey hardygrrl, when’s the food gonna be here? I’m feeling a little light-headed. Too many jell-o shots. I think I dropped one in my cleavage. That would account for the weird looking red smear. You sure can throw a good bash from your bed! And I mean that in the best possible, cleanest-minded way. ---

Okay, okay… Sorry I’m late with the Jello Pit[sup]TM[/sup] but I was a little tied up. If ya know what I mean. I used orange jello tonight 'cause, well, at least this way you can _pretend_ you’re doing it for your health. ---
