Hey, I’m Back! How Y’All Doing?
My last post is dated 1st June and, incredibly, now the month is almost over. Where have I been? I wish I had a tale of excitement and adventure with which to regale you, but quite simply I had nothing new to say, and the more I pondered blogging, the more I realised that it was taking up much more of my life than I’d planned. And with less going on in my life, there was less to blog about!
Blogging was an ‘add on’, it was intended as a supplement to my internet marketing, and Reward Rebel blog was supposed to be the reflection of my work. Somehow it started to eat up so much of my time that there wasn’t enough left for me to maintain the projects I already had set up, never mind research new ones.
Well, I’ve had a break, and I’ve caught up on TV – I’m particularly enjoying Battlestar Galactica. In the UK we’ve just reached the midway point in the story, the Humans and Cylons have located and landed on Earth, only to find it dismal and desolate. Who is the final undisclosed Cylon? I think it might be Lee Adama, but most of my theories so far have been dashed, so I’m probably wrong! Ooh, it’s so exciting – have I ever mentioned I’m a massive sci-fi geek?
I’ve also been enjoying Euro 2008. Four years ago, I was in Crete when Greece won the 2004 championship, and it was a total trip! On the night of the match, there wasn’t a bar, restaurant, store, nowhere that didn’t have the match on the TV, and when they won, the entire island exploded into lunacy and revelling unlike anything I’d seen before. It was brilliant.
After watching the match, we went straight out to bedlam on the streets — along with the town’s entire population! There was a pick-up truck driving erratically into the centre of town, halting abruptly every 25 metres or so, to eject a passenger brandishing a shotgun he’d fire wildly into the night sky, jump back in and off they’d drive another 25 - 30 metres, stop and do it all over again!
Ah, Crete. If anything inspires me, it’s my plan to relocate to a waterfront villa on the Greek island of Crete. Nothing fancy mind, just as long as it has a private pool and extensive grounds, I’m not fussy.
Before I sign off, I’d like to thank my beautiful friends online who have enquired about my wellbeing and whereabouts… I felt rich.
I’ll be seeing you around.

Soooo glad to have you back! Your tales are interesting all right! At least you can say you’re reclaiming your life back. On one hand, blogging can really eat up so much of your time that we tend to lose ourselves in it.
I almost got started with the series of Battlestar Galactica, but did not push through because what I have is the 4th episode and I wanted to start from the beginning. I think they’re on the fourth season already, I would have a week to marathon, if ever.
Take care, Layne. I’m so glad you’re all right!

And about Euro 2008, the hubby is nuts about it. He is closely following every event. He’s such a fan! He would spend sleepless nights watching live streaming over the net! His http://www.footballvideosandpictures.com blog is a testament to his passion for soccer.

Hello Jennie @ Marriage & Beyond,
Your warm hand of friendship was felt often during my absence, and at times I really needed what you were sending me! Thank you so much.
Well, tonight Euro 2008 is over — nice to see Spain champions — I’m not exactly a huge footie fan, but I can enjoy most sports at national / international level, because of the quality of play. Next weekend, it’s the British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone — now that’s a sport I r-e-a-l-l-y enjoy!

Anna @ Chica & Pumuckl ~ Well, if I’d quit after writing that last post, I’d hang my head in shame!
Hiya Durano, did ya miss me? Don’t fancy the moon - too dang quiet!
Hey crazy Zhu, yeah, pretty obvious it’d be football, huh? Ho Ho Ho. It was cool to be in Greece when they won, tho, ya know?
Hi lovely Amy Lilley, your comms meant more than you know, dear friend who lives too far away!
Thanks Amy. 
Cheers Anthony, I’m eagerly awaiting the commercial availability of cloning technology - I mean won’t that get all those tasks completed sooo much faster?
