Weekend Update

Celebrated my sister's birthday Friday night with a massive party.....she got tons of great gifts and I came away with a sore throat. Joy.

Woke up Saturday morning to the sad news about Latoyia Figuera (sp). Many of my friends in the blogging community had posted her picture on their sites in an effort to publize her being missing. It made such an impact that Latoyia actually made national news despite her not being a blond, blue-eyed, middle class, "wholesome" American girl. And while, I was upset to hear that the poor woman had been killed, I was impressed that through the power of the blogging world this woman had not just disappeared to become a cold case but was given some justice, at least they found her killer. I'd like to think even amidst our sometimes inane conversation some good is happening.

Finally feeling a bit blue...just read my pal Tony's blog. He shall be offline for an indefinite period of time. I hope it will only be for a short while, can't imagine my cyber world without him. Sigh.

Hope this sad news is not a premonition for the rest of the week....if that is case I'm going to have to burrow inside my covers and stay in bed till Saturday.
