It's been a few days since I posted, and I know I left off in the middle of the loooooooong, boring tale of the adventures of the mediocre set loose in the wilds of NYC, and I know that many of you are deeply upset at my disappearance. ;p

I have been busy ... that's my excuse, but not my only excuse ... I've been sick, too. I've heard there is some sort of stomach thingy going around; it stopped to visit me for awhile, but I've sent it on it's way (no one likes a guest who outstays their welcome) so keep an eye out, probably coming your way next, and it is YUCKY!

I have my suspicions about the cause of my ickness (I like that typo, it sums it up well ... it was not just sick, it was totally ICK!) the fact that this ickness affected mom, dad & me at the same time has raised the ugly thought that perhaps darling dearest STEVE is guilty of poisoning us! Yes, he claimed to have experienced the twinges of this himself, but what better way to throw blame off, than to inflict a bit of the same on yourself as well, hmmm? I haven't spent all these years watching Forensic Files not to know how that works.

What possible motive could he have for giving the Ick to his family? Hmmm. How about "all these years he's been hiding a sullen jealousy and if finally exploded one night while he was fixing Cajun Marinated Chicken Breasts ... and he added his own special ickness ingredient!" ;p

Nah, that would only be a good plot in a B-movie. He'd actually be more prone to blame me because he is the Favorite Son, while I am but the middle daughter. Heee-heee!

For those of you who have just tuned in, prepare yourself ... as soon as I feel better I will begin posting New York Story - Part III ... better hope I don't feel better anytime soon, because if that's the case, I won't be posting for awhile, and when I do, it will have been too long, and not a darn person will give a rat's butt (where the heck did that phrase originate from anyway?) what the heck I did on my trip to NYC, so I'll never finish it.

Have a good night all. Stay healthy and Ick-Free. :)
