Yes, I’m back.
No, there hasn’t been a Roast for the last couple of weeks?
Why?
No reason, I just didn’t feel like it. I refuse to apologize, but yes, I do feel a little guilty. Damn how the internet has wiggled it’s way into my life!
Consequently, this does mean that I’ve been collecting stuff for the Roast [...]

Because I know y’all are a bit curious, the following is what happens when Cas is left home alone in Meadow Towers and she decides to invite illyna and Neko over to drink wine, eat pizza, and generally have a gossip session.

I do like shoe shopping. Oh, and yes, I am still alive.
Whilst I get my blogging self back in gear, I need your opinion on something.
Do I keep this pair of shoes or not?

This will be the third year in a row I’ve paid [...]

I’m not sure what’s happened this week, but there’s just not a lot out there that has caught my interest.
OK, I lied. I know exactly what happened this week: work. It was the end of the quarter and all the claim paperwork and data entry for the nine projects we manage had to go through [...]

I know I’m not the only one here who’s having a moment of social networking overload.
I got my arse on Twitter because everyone told me life was not worth living without it… I think I’ve tweeted about three times in this past week, and the most exciting thing I had to share was that [...]
