Some mornings I have a lot to say. This really isn't one of them.
Except for a most kind thanks to Christine from Blogomania. Turns out that Christmas has come early to The Debutaunt. I've been hosting this site over at Blogo for a while, and come to find out that Christine is an old family friend from like way back in the 80's. She had been reading up on my Dracula Blood and was getting the word out to donate blood. Then looking at the picture of me with hair, she realized that Deb is *that* Deb, and that she knows us and me and ... how's that for it's a small world?
She and Sis #2 were really good friends, and I even took the teens to Sixth Street in Austin once upon a time. My family moved away from Houston after that, kids go off to college, so everyone kind of loses touch. But wow!
So the evercool Christine has decided that Debutaunt will be hosted gratis. This world is good. It really is.
Merry Christmas with a whip I say! Thanks, chica!

Posted by: Julie at December 7, 2005 10:17 AMSorry I'm late, I've been wrapped up in books and then physical tests and sleep. Lots of sleep. As for the hosting - dude, it is the least I could do. I have much more planned. Now if I can just get a final verdict on the whole Eagle Scout plan. Down with Dracula Blood!
