We're in Hawaii again for our annual trip to visit the in-laws ( Read more... )

I didn't write journal entries while in Hawaii this year, because I wasn't using the in-laws' computers like I have in the past. My new iTouch can do pretty much everything I want -- including Googling stuff on the Internet, checking my email, reading fic, watching videos, playing games, etc. -- and so I've gotten used to just using it when I'm ( Read more... )

I haven't written a journal entry in ages! Well, "ages" in Kimberly Time, since I usually write every day. I think it's been 4 days.
