February started out a little rough for your old pal, Uranium J. At 2 AM Friday morning, I woke to find myself ill with what I assumed was food poisoning and only today began to feel as though I were truly on the mend. Apparently, there's some dream stomach flu going around - B.A. MooreCox and Merlisser in Washington State seem to have had the same thing, so sadly I am unable to blame my affliction on an errant hipster taco.
The silver lining to the situation is that I have eaten almost nothing in the past four days, and I have nearly regained my pre-holiday weight. I am on the road to recovery in more ways than one. This is good.
The worst part of the whole ordeal for me wasn't the searing pain, the chills, the headaches, or the frequent and frantic trips to the toilet. It was the fact that I neglected my blog on MY FIRST BLOGAVERSARY!
That's right, my very first entry, Testing. Testing. 123. was posted on February 1, 2012. I was going to do some kind of great celebratory post on Friday. There was going to be confetti. Streamers. Maybe even some cake. But I was too sick to get out of bed, much less contemplate a party post, and now the time has come and gone.
Friday was also the start of Katy Widrick's 28 Day Blog Challenge, which I had planned to tell you all about. I signed up for the challenge a couple of weeks ago and I was so excited to get started on February 1. Well, here we are and it's February 5, and I've done no blogging challenges. It's late and I'm tired, so we'll worry about that tomorrow, along with my belated plan for following Gretchen Rubin's Happier at Home 21 Day Challenge.
Which also should have started on Friday.
Luckily, thanks to Sarah Von at Yes! and Yes! there's one challenge I can still start on time: 9 Days of Nice. Today is Day 1, and I am writing a Yelp review of a favorite local business - or in my case, two local businesses: Georgia Game Changers and All Things Chocolate in Richmond Hill, GA.
These two fine establishments are what small businesses are all about: great products and great customer service. Seriously, I love these businesses. I love what they sell. I love the people who own them. I love the way they look. I love how I feel when I go there. They make my a little bit happier about living in this place at this time. I am so glad for them, and now you can see how much. Click the links, dear friends and gentle readers!

And, because I love Mr. Bill and The Ice Cream Stop, how about one more?
