Where is the farthest you have ever been away from home? Did you get homesick?
Submitted by Melissa.
We went to Alaska on our first cruise. It was magical, I recommend everyone see Alaska at least once. I didn't get homesick, but I did miss my kitties.

Well, this list shows me how really poorly read I am. I find a book I like and read it over and over. I am going to use this list as a reading list and actually use my library card.
I have lost my left arm. I know that wouldn't make much difference to most people, but seeing as I am left handed, it could be a problem. Okay, now before you get all excited, I guess I should say that I feel like I lost my left arm. I lost my cell phone yesterday. It was a V3xx razor in gold. I loved that phone. I don't think I had had it a month. I am ALWAYS losing things. Sometimes I feel like I have a poltergeist following me around and hiding things from me. Bleh. Just Bleh.
