I’ve been neglecting the blog and I do apologize. I had the whole “Monster Mania” convention on Friday and Saturday, and Saturday and Sunday I was cleaning house and doing school work. Today was more school work, as I’ve given myself a self imposed deadline for this weekend to get way too much done. I need to channel when I had real class imposed deadlines! My head will probably explode by this weekend.

I’ve been contemplating a huge decision, one that doesn’t have to be made for months . . . I think come January I’m actually leaving my laptop at home when the BF and I do our cruise. I’ve said I would do this for years, but this time I am in a position where I can do it. The iPhone and the PC’s on the cruise ship should do the trick for everything getting me my email in case crap happens. I just need a larger/second memory card for the camera. Let me tell you it will be nice not having to be a slave to a webpage on vacation for once, minus some blogging that is The only negative side is that I won’t be able to upload photos until I return home. However on the cruise ship, it’s usually impossible to photo blog as is as the connection can be equivalent to dial-up.

A final thought, my birthday is a little over a week away. I’ve been thinking of going on an Amazon.com DVD shopping binge to buy some movies I’ve been meaning to get for awhile. I even made a list of what I want. They include “Penelope,” “Curiosity of Chance,” “Fried Green Tomatoes,” “Joy Luck Club,” “Teen Witch,” “Camp Sleepaway” and this little gem . . . .

Oh yes, I’m talking “Troop Beverly Hills!”
