Ok. I admit it. I've spent a lot of time away from my LJ. It wasn't planned or intentional until... well. The last two 'real' posts below this one. It's just been SO hard to come back, knowing they are there. /sigh ( Read more... )

I don't know about you guys, but I am 90% certain that MK and i will be on the Carnival Dream at the end of October, 2010. I am -really- hoping that this will end up to be a 'group' thing, and that many of you will be on board also. I am excited about the cruise in general, but gods -- the thought of a bunch of us together sounds to me like it'll ( Read more... )

Dog new: Anubis is settling into his 'adult personality' nicely. For those of you who aren't aware, great danes remain in their 'wheeiamapuppywheeeee' stage until they are about 3 years old, on average. I have to laugh at MK sometimes, though.

After he took a cell phone call in the middle of my appointment, walking out for 15m and -then- getting back to me. And ( Read more... )

I'd suggest using the number provided for Omar, and talking to him directly and mentioning our names so you do end up on the same ship. kitsuneraven says he's very easy to talk to.

No, not back yet.
