Vosges Haut Chocolat Holiday Collection truffles

Captain's Log, Stardate 11.05.2009

Those of you on Twitter and Facebook saw me freaking out patiently waiting for my chocolate to arrive. Well, they came on Wednesday!

Isn't this pretty? I love pretty packaging.




You can order the chocolates here if you can't help yourself. Just to warn you, they're a bit pricey and contrary to how they look, each truffle is only a little bigger than a marble.

Feeling blah and NaNoWriMo

Captain's Log, Stardate 11.03.2009

Forgive me for whining, but, well…I'm going to whine.

I've been feeling like crap for several weeks. Tired. Headachy. Stomach a little nauseated. But no sniffles or sore throat or fever or anything "normal" in terms of flu or cold symptoms.

I did find out that one of the youth group had the Swine flu (early stages) two Saturdays ago but I haven't developed any symptoms, plus I was feeling poorly even before then.

So what is wrong with me? Why can't I shake this?...
