I'm Back!

Where have I been hiding? Well I'm back, and I have so much to catch up on, and update you on. For starters I had my gallbladder removed, and was recovering over at my aunts house, as she was away on a cruise. She has two wonderful animals, which I enjoyed taking care of... while suntanning in their backyard. Surgery went well, I'm finally out of pain, and not dumping any food. I look back now and see that all the issues I had, were all due to my gallbladder acting up. I even dumped Cheerios a few times, which shouldn't bother anyone.

Another reason why I was away... I got married! Yes, the big day was June 24th... an Indian Hindu wedding. I'm not Hindu, but my cutie is. There were so many last minute details that had to be worked out, which kept my family running around. I pretty much stayed at my mom and grandma's place for a few weeks prior to the wedding, which kept me away from the computer once again.

Over the next few days I will try and get caught up. I know I have to announce a winner for my latest giveaway, as well as work on several product reviews. Keep an eye out for those... more fun stuff to come!
