Just did a story on SecondLife and am now convinced it is the future of the web. It's like the web, but much more interactive. And you can exchange your linden dollars and turn it into real money. This land developer actually made a million dollars last year just for developing virtual landscapes. If you are on Second Life you should look up my Avatar. I go by Zarah Hykova.

I know it sounds like I've been sucked into a nerd vortex, and perhaps I have, but like I always say "don't judge".
Playing house
I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go
