Leaving in the morning for Chicago. Don't know when I'll get a chance to check in, but I will have internet access. So hopefully within a day or two that I arrive.
I'll miss you all while I'm away. :kiss:

Busy, busy

Saturday, July 12th 2008

My family is in town. :clap: They got here yesterday. I've was busy getting my house ready for company and I've been busy visiting with them since. It's my dad and my 2 nephews (ages 12 and 13). My boys are ecstatic because they adore their cousins. They are their only cousins as my husband is an only child and I only have a sister.
Anyway, we plan to leave on Tuesday to head to Chicago and as I've mentioned before, I'll then be there until the end of July. :thumbu2:

Anniversary recap: Well, Ca...

I had an appointment with the accupressurist today and it went really well. He worked on my arm and my neck. Many areas with lots of tension knots and scar tissue. I can tell that it's really going to help. There are things I have to be doing each day to help: certain stretches, ice, and stat...

Self correcting

Sunday, July 6th 2008

I have been playing on myspace and facebook so much lately that I've been neglecting CK. (Sorry.) The thing about CK is I can write about more private issues that I wouldn't write about on such public venues. So far, I've connected with CK and former CK-ers plus a few other friends. It's been really fun but it's addicting. I have to becareful of my time and not let it suck away my precious minutes. It's so easy to do.
And it's such an escape. It's like I can go into this other world with...
