Taking a Little Break

Hello all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be taking a little break, but only until the beginning of March at the latest! I leave tomorrow for Utica, New York to get ready for my gastric bypass that's happening on Tuesday. I'll be home a week from tomorrow, then resting for about a week before spending any real time on the computer. But never fear, my PSP addiction will rear its head and I'll be back making more tuts before you know it!

If you want to read more about my RNY (gastric bypass) journey..... check out my blog........
