ICHC has added another new site (I love when they expand) called Once Upon a Win and it is full of goodness from my childhood, such as LiteBright, Fraggle Rock, Fisher Price, Nintendo and Atari! It really brings me back to days as a kid playing with these toys and watching these tv shows. Who knew I'd be looking at it years later over the net (which didnt exist at the time) and writing about it on a blog... ahh as the world turns.

In other news, my favorite author of all time Jacqueline Carey has posted a link on her site to the newest blurb about her next trilogy and I'm drooling already. Too bad I need to wait 6 or 7 months before I get it. However, it does add to my excitment for the summer. For the last few years, every June brings not only the end of school and the beginning of a summer vacation, sunshine and freedom, but it also has always brought a new Kushiel's book with it! And this year seems it will be no different. The last book, Kushiel's Mercy, I read... nay, devoured in about 4 days. Its a pretty hefty book too. Her prose is so alluring and sensual. I always buy the hardcover copy of her books. There's something satisfying about holding a hard bound book fresh off the press. Writing is a huge process, and to hold it firmly in a hand and feel the presence of the book and the writer is just as much a part of enjoying the book as actually reading it.

My apartment is getting more decorated for Christmas, which is a favorite time of year.

Work is getting closer to being done for a 2 week break, which is always a bonus.

My Roadtrip south with the Hubby is also getting closer... thats a favorite too, and add in my love of the ocean and a couple of favorite friends and I'm all set for a great vacation.
