Alive.

Hey, remember that time I didn’t post anything for almost a week? Yeah, that was no fun. Sorry. I’m back now.

So, uh… I started twittering. I’m sarahblackstock over there (and in real life, except there’s a space in between the names, obviously).

A six month old beagle is staying next door with my grandparents for a few days & Toby loves nothing more than watching her every move while he wags his tail constantly. He is the most gentle, sweet dog in all the land and it’s cute to see him interact with this little dog that he realizes is a baby and must be handled with care. I’m going to try to get a few photos of them together, but it’s supposed to rain for the rest of the time she’s here, so I’m not sure how that plan will pan out.

I’ve made lots of travel plans recently! I’m going to The Netherlands for a few weeks sometime in May. Need to make definite plans soon. I’m going to Washington, D.C. in June for a four day weekend. Yay! Monuments! Tours! Museums! Meet-up with some crafty pals! My mom is taking me on a family vacation sometime in July to an as-yet-undetermined location. We were considering Disney, but decided to hold off for a less peak time & are thinking we might like to go on a roadtrip around Texas. We’ve lived here forever, and have been to all of the major cities, but have hardly seen anything else in between. I’m researching it a bit now to see if it sounds any good & if there is anywhere we can go that we will enjoy AND will also accept a few dogs tagging along. Lastly, I booked a transatlantic cruise from New York to England in August. (More on that some other time.) Good thing I love to travel and don’t mind airports!

Unfortunately, the last time I flew I got major air sickness (both ways), even thought I’d never had any issues with flying at all before. I’m worried about barfing a million times again during the landing, and even more worried that some poor person will get stuck sitting next to me while I do it. Yikes. I’m on the hunt for some remedies that don’t require a prescription.
