New sites of note:

Destinova - interesting stories, and good updates on security and deals available in the travelling world.

One Sweet Nothing - it's Lucia! With a blog!

In other news, it is now officially cold and I have Turned On the Heater, my fingers are suffering from the dry weather (no relation to the heater, trust me), my apartment looks like a tornado blew through it and I have people coming over tomorrow night, and I'm going to see La Traviata tonight.

All that, and I have to shop for the last of my family birthdays for the year - mom and brother share Friday - and plan a baby shower for the end of the month.

Speaking of showers, it is possible to have a kick-ass wedding shower that doesn't involve silly games. Including snickerdoodles and pumpkin cheesecake is not a bad idea, though.
