Almost too late but I just made it, though i was one of the first to wish it at midnight.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (e:TERRY)!!! HOPE IT IS A GREAT ONE YOU OLDIE!!!

Did everyone see that in the current issue of Artvoice, Estrip has made it in the top three nominees for best online blog! Congrats Estrip! I am not sure if they pick a top one from that or what the next step is? Does anyone know?

What more could I ask for? I am walking down aisle 8 at work to put something back and what do i catch out of the corner of my eye but an (e:jill) coming down the aisle!!! THAT'S RIGHT MY JILLY IS HOME AGAIN!!! SHE decided to come home a few weeks early from Scottland and didn't tell me! I was super suprised but saddened by the fact that I still had to work like 3 more hours after that. 3 Hours of shaking excitment!!! WELCOME HOME JILLY!! That's the bestest birthday gift a guy could ask for and my birthday still isn't for a week. What a great improvement to my working 9 days in a row and only having the tenth day fof cuz i need to get a cavity filled!!!

My oh so attractive and painful lobster red back has now turned into a maze of peeling skin. It is so itchy and gross. On a better note (e:amanda) is back in town and ready to go out and party so hopefully some hardcore fun this week, or at least cheap beer at the Deuce!

My sunburn back is now one big itchy mess!!! I seriously have never felt so crazy in my life. I don't know what to do to make it stop. I have been using lotion and lidocaine and aloe and blowing a fan on it and put my back in the freezer and ice and water and everything. I get a few minutes of relief yhere and hthere and then back to the complete itch. (e:maureen) seems to be liek half a day ahead of me in her sunburn stage and her itching isn't as bad anyjmore. SO hopefully only 12 mor ehours of this!! AHHH Any suggestions?
