• NO, NO.....I DIDN'T FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.....
  I've just been busy!
  
  Hi everyone! So sorry I "disappeared". I've been busy with the "real world". Thanks-a-bunch (really!), to everyone who has subscribed, commented, and epropped me, the last several weeks since I previously blogged. I will be attempting to get back to you and check out your sites!
  
  I hope all my friends in the USA had a blessed "Turkey Day" (as did I), and that everyone is doing well!
  
  In the meantime, this entry is also about Xanga Meetup. I had signed up and very much wanted to attend the "Inaugural" event last month, but with my illness/stint in the hospital/subsequent recovery period, I completely (and regretfully) forgot about it.....til it was too late. However, I did make it this month (last nite), and my review follows, as posted to the Meetup site.
  
  .....and I quote.....

  I loved this venue (Aroma Cafe in Studio City), it had great atmosphere! It was quite cozy, and felt very safe.
  
  The Meetup Host never showed, but those of us who did attend, had fun. Most of us said we would try to return next month. Four of the attendees were already real-world friends, and traveled together. Two [of the four friends] were actually non-Xangans, but I encouraged them to join up! Apparently, several others were scheduled to show, but got lost on the way, by falling into a cosmic "black hole" on Sunset Boulevard (nowhere near the venue! LOL), and they never made it to the festivities.
  
  I (being very much a "people-person"), made sure to jot down my fellow Xangan's info, so I could subscribe to their blogs. I invited them to take a peek at mine, when they inquired about my other subscriptions.
  
  I think Xanga Meetups are a great idea, and I believe a sufficiently interesting time was had by all. I am really looking forward to next month!

  That's it folks. If any other Xangans [reading this] are in the L.A.-Santa Monica-San Fernando Valley Area, I hope they will sign up and join us in January. Check out the Xanga Meetup HQ,and give this meetup a try! Since Greater Los Angeles is so huge, I would guess there is a much larger Xangan group living here, other than the current 22 person meetup membership ..... doncha' think?
  
  Tons of Original Earthmom {{{{{hugs}}}}} (!) and love to all!
