Got my passport back with my Egyptian visa. Only 79 days left. p.ping.fm/img/GN29T8Vh/6...

We just got a netbook & really like it. Wished Apple made a netbook, but pleased with how easily it connected to wi-fi & set-up e-mail.

Just saw Hotel Ground Zero on History. Stories I'd not heard & brought it all back. I stayed @ the Marriott. This won't allow u 2 forget.

Just finished watching the latest episode of Top Chef. What a great show. This rivals the French Culinary Institute episode from Season 3.

Very pleased w/myself. Added RAM 2 iMac, added wifi & doing some sw updates. Yes most people did this yrs ago, but it was a big step 4 me.

Tried Skechers' Step-Ups 4 doing exercises. They're pricy but excellent shoes. My back & left knee have been hurting but no pain 2day.

Still preparing 4 Egypt trip. Lucked out today Eddie Bauer w/travel shirts & pants. Clothes now done.

Happy 15th Birthday Abby!!! p.ping.fm/img/GN29T8Vh/c...

Vacation day. Mom & I are getting pedicures. We have 1 of Mom's friends w/us who's never had a pedicure. We're being very girly today.

Plans for Egypt are going well. Made reservations today to get to NYC & back. Already have the roundtrip flight to Cairo. Can hardly wait.
