Participation Positives

I am on vacation and got out of
town for a few days..

I bought office 2003 and love
it.

I may teach my Internet class
again next semester.

Well, went to San Diego. My
back hurt and my stomach didn't agree with anything I ate the
whole time. Things are a little better but I may have to go to
the doctor if they don't improve. I also hurt my neck last
night. I want to clean the fish tanks and have the rugs
cleaned. Maybe put out a few decorations for Halloween.
