_{between the two dates above, i’ll be away from home, celebrating christmas with my family.   while i’d usually bring my laptop with me,   i’ve made the decision not to, so that i may focus entirely on my family,   as i don’t get to see many of them very often.  i’ve already began getting a queue together on blair,  and will hopefully have time to prepare one on lydia and maya,  as well,  but even if i do,  all three of my blogs will be significantly less active.   i will have my phone,  so feel free to contact me on ims or s/kype.    happy holidays, everyone !}
