I have also reached 300 posts! Another big milestone and I cannot believe it. I have a “Favorite Things” giveaway planned; I just need to get a few extra goodies. I hope to have this ready within the next week.

Thank you all for reading my blog and for your sweet comments. I read and appreciate each one. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I never thought that this would amount to anything and didn’t realize that anyone would actually read about my life and random thoughts/ramblings. I’ve made some great friendships along the way and look forward to making many more.

Last, but not least…today is the last day to enter to win a $25 Best Buy Gift Card on Geof’s blog.

I’m back!

Sorry for the prolonged bloggy break. Last weekend I caught bronchitis and took some time to get better. I thought I had the swine flu and can’t remember the last time I felt so ill. The doctor gave me a “Z pack” (which I think is the miracle antibiotic) and was feeling better towards the end of this past week. Work has also had me bogged down and I’m finally feeling back to myself. I worked virtually every free hour of this past weekend. Not fun.

I also missed my 1st Blogaversary while I was away and had a giveaway planned for it. I will try and do that later this week.

Here are some of the fun things I snuck in while I was away.

1. Got to see the Phillies and Dodgers play in the NLCS Game 5. The Phillies won, sending them to the World Series. It was so exciting to be at the park for the win and see the celebration.



2. Went to World Series Game 3 to see the Phillies and the Yankees. The Phillies had a terrible loss and it was a depressing game to say the least. I’ve never been to any World Series game, so I’m glad that I was at least able to go and thank Geof for getting us the tickets. It looks like the Yankees are going to win this thing. After tonight’s loss, I don’t think I can watch anymore.

3. The night I started feeling sick, I went to see Saw VI with a big group of friends. I don’t know how many more of these movies they’re going to churn out, but I’m a sucker and keep going to see them. It actually had an interesting plot and wasn’t bad if you can handle the gore. It was also relevant to all of the health insurance issues our country is facing right now.



4. I went out with my girlfriends Halloween Eve to The Deck. It is always fun to see the costumes that people come up with.



How have all my friends been?
