Mini Update

I've started about two or three other entries and haven't managed to make much progress on them (there goes my secret-- only SOME of my entries are stream-of-consciousness entries... some are written, left alone, and re-written when I feel like it...).

So, just so you all know that I'm alive (if anyone is reading this in the first place), here's a mini-update:

• Got a deathly cold (told I looked terrible and to go home several times by my boss) that I'm still kicking... stupid cough.
  
• Whether it is related or not, I have weird aches and pains (like pain in my fourth and fifth digit on my right hand and a pain in the arch of my left foot).
  
• As soon as I figured I was no longer contagious (and donning safety gear), I started baking again. This week's concoctions? Caramel Apple Cupcakes with a Cream Cheese Frosting (with homemade caramel!) and Pumpkin Cupcakes with a Ginger Cream Filling and Chocolate Ganache Frosting (recipes courtesy of http://cupcakeblog.com).
• I'm stuck back in my head, thinking about my relationships with people (friends, family, and lovers) and the meaning of life.
• And of course, I'm preparing myself for the elections by getting together my own little voter guide. Be ready friends! You'll know how to vote by November 4th-- (and in case you haven't PLEASE REGISTER TO VOTE!)

Alright. Proper update comin' soon.
