Gosh, incredible how time just races by! When I last blogged here, I was fresh off a sunny Italian vacation, now it's grey, wet and cold around here. I like Fall, mind you, it's one of my favorite seasons (the others being Spring, Summer and Winter). And one of its upsides is that we can once more see the deer in the park from our balcony, the view unobstructed by the leaves we had to shovel into sacks by the millions. Not much to report that would be of great interest to anyone, I guess...taking each day at a time, as everyone does. There'll be a looong stretch before our next vacation, so in order to have something to look forward to, we booked a trip for May 2014 to visit a friend in Belgrade, and to squeeze in a few days in and around Milan, Italy on the way. For the 1st time ever, we're trying airbnb.com for an apartment in downtown Milan, that'll be exciting! Earlier in the year, I bought a Groupon voucher for five movie theater tickets that I now need to use up by mid-December, only so far no film really excited me all that much. Happily, Woody Allen's latest, Blue Jasmine, is now starting, so that's one I'm certain to see. Another one I'm looking forward to is Saving Mr. Banks, with Tom Hanks as Walt Disney in the story of his wheeling and dealing to get the Mary Poppins author to greenlight his musical film.
Still not too happy with the way the site looks... missing the friends, the faves, the easy navigation, the emoticons, and so much more. Oh well, my subscription is coming up sometime soon, so I'll need to decide if the neverending parade of gorgeous girls of all shapes and kinds is worth the minor hassles.
It's getting really hot here, and I can't say I like it. It's so humid that I'm sweating and growing gills as I'm typing this. Sexy, hey?
I miss emoticons too, but I must say that the new site is growing on me, especially blogs. It's so much easier to post now. And of course you'll stay, you silly. *insert the winking smiley face*
