OK, Shannon: Tuesday night it is! I'll mark it down in my calendar. You add it to your PDA :-) Anytime in the evening is fine.

Katie, I'm so excited about the little gifts. How fun! I'll remind you about the presents for Mom and Robin. Not a problem. Did you receive the info from the Ellen show?

Shannon, that's awesome about your PDA! Let me know how you like it. Hey, since your birthday is Monday, would you be interested in going out Tuesday night? Nothing hard core, but I'd be honored to buy you your first legal drink. That, and I have your gift. Let me know :-)

Katie, I'm getting SO VERY EXCITED about seeing you and Billy. Mom is, too. Just three weeks and counting :-)

Shannon, 14 days! That's wonderful!

Regarding your PDA inquiry, I suggest the following: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_3/601-2159214-6489742?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B0000CBJ8J

It's the PDA our photographer, Tony, uses at the Leader. He absolutely loves it and syncs it with a calendar on his computer at home and work. It's nice, and only $100. Check it out.

Did you see Oprah announced a new book club selection today? It's "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." Amazon has it for just $7.40. I'm very tempted to buy it.

OK, OK. You like the suit. Yeah, I think I do, too. I've gained some weight since last summer and wasn't really sure how I looked in a bathing suit. But, thanks for the kind words. California, here I come!

Last night was the Nebraska Press Association's annual newspaper contest. I won a first-place award for my three-part adoption series in the Bellevue Leader. Woo hoo!

Today, it's Nu-Trend, then probably a trip to the grocery store. I'm almost out of shampoo.
