I didn’t get to bed until after midnight last night and then woke up at 4:15 this morning.  Hell if I know why but there I was, all “good morning, is it time to get up?” AWAKE.  And I’ve been that way ever since except now, seven hours later I am fading fast, which isn’t good because I have a lot to get done today.  There are things that need to be written and read and mulled over.  There is Chinese food that needs to be eaten (seriously? Happy Panda. $4.90 one entre plate.  So Awesome).

Hey, remember how my iPhone got….wet and I had to send it in and get a new one (yay for Best Buy insurance)?  Well the phone that they sent me back is already having problems.  Something with the microphone is out of whack and I can only talk on it for a few minutes before I start sounding distorted and then the microphone stops picking up noise entirely.  When I plug the headset into it I can talk and talk but, apparently, the in-phone voice picker upper is allergic to me.  So last night we went back to Best Buy to send it in for repairs (or another new one) and, once again, I am making do with a loaner phone for a few days.  It is amazing how quickly you grow to love a smart phone and how much it feels like you’ve lost part of your brain when you have to go without it for a while.

In super awesome-tastic news, my best friend may have sold her first novel! Hooray!  She announced it on Twitter last night and I promptly started shrieking and jumping all over my living room.  I’m so happy for her!  Go over there and congratulate her today.  As far as I know the details are not totally worked out yet but still–selling a first novel is so exciting!
