I'm still here. Barely. I just got over a nasty case of pneumonia during which I had 5 consecutive days off. Definitely the best part of being sick. That never happens! It was a bittersweet kind of nice, but nice none the less - God knows I needed the rest.

News - We're going on a cruise! I'm entirely too excited for words! I have purchased my dress, shoes and purse for the 'dressy night' aboard the ship, and look forward to having a great time. I've never been on a vacation before - so this will be quite a milestone for me. Mexico will be just wonderful, I'm sure of it. Any of you guys with experience with Cozumel and vacationing, shoot me a comment and give me some ideas of what to do with a few hours ashore!
