I haven't been on much lately...just too much going on in other areas....especially in a forum that requires some of my online attention more than any other place I have been.  So, I apologize for not checking up on everyone here to make sure things are alright.

The blast from the past seems to be somewhat of a hypocrite, and I haven't spoken to him or even recieved an email from him since last Monday...no biggie, I would rather stay true to myself, and to Hell with those out there who are like he is...whatever.

It has been an interesting and ironic couple of weeks, politically, and I am personally laughing at things that are going on there, but I have no desire to get into politics much, but to say that this will be an interesting campaign to say the least...lol

My work schedule is back to normal, and I am back to my own job, cleaning up after the chaos that was the people doing my job for the past three weeks!  It's frustrating, but I believe that by the end of this week, my work area will be back to the way I like it....clean and organized.

I have also gotten back into snail mail...am about to head on over to a group to add myself to the list there....an excuse to use my Hallmark Gold Crown Card and feed into my stationary/card/Yankee Candle obssessions...lol  I love to write, as everyone very well knows, and this is a perfect outlet for that as well.  It's fun to me!

I have also been sucked into reading Stephanie Meyers' Twighlight series....although this is a young adult series, I find it to be very well written and intriguing to say the least.  The imagery that Meyers uses is simply brilliant.  Escapism at it's ultimate best....different from Karen Marie Moning, Christine Feehan, and Diana Gabaldon, but still wonderful for those who like any of these lovely writers.  http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html  I highly recommend it to anyone.

Of course, reading has taken center stage of my life recently, I finally got into reading more Nora Roberts, and have found the Sign Of Seven trilogy to be wonderful as well....I can't wait to read the last book in that trilogy, but it comes out in November.

Also, for those who love the Eragon series by young Mr. Christopher Paolini, the next in the series is BRISINGER and it will be out September 20, 2008.  I am looking forward to reading the next novel.  Of course, I am very impressed by Christopher because he began writing this when he was only fifeteen or sixteen, and he is now on the National Best Seller's lists and he isn't even 24 years old!  He definately has talent!!  I get inspired just by reading his story, and his novels....of course, I am a fan of the big fat novels!! http://www.alagaesia.com/index.php

Reading has taken up the majority of my time this past week, mainly because I love to read, and it keeps me out of trouble...lol

Everyone have a great day!!
