Month in Review: October 2012

This is the part of the year that whizzes right by, at least for me. It’s like once Halloween passes, it’s Thanksgiving and before you know there goes Christmas and New Years. Whoa! Speaking of Halloween, I’m still on my chocolate ban (I’m down 12 lbs. so far!) but I may have had a candy or two. Or three. Don’t tell anyone, okay?

Oh and it’s November! You know what that means, right? 15 more days until this:

I love the part at the 2:04 mark. Are you going to be at a midnight showing? I think I’m just going to wait for the Blu-Ray DVD to come out.

I have found an iOS app that supports GTalk. It’s called IMO and it’s free. Now I can chat with J9 without clogging up her inbox. Loves!

We’ve got something new coming tomorrow! Be sure to come back and check it out.
