Back from hiatus

Yikes! I was gone for awhile! Brittany, I finished your gift! You'll get it soon. I wish I could blame my absence on extreme activity and that I had something to show for it. In reality, I lost the cord for my camera, and I had to order a new one. My wonderful mom ordered one for me too, so now I have two!! One is in a secure location, so if I lose my cord again I have a back-up, provided I can remember the secure location in such a situation. (Note to self: Secure location= top drawer of computer desk) At any rate, expect several posts a day over the next couple of weeks as I catch up. Look forward to another contest soon too!
