I am looking forward to the weekend as I'm attending a masquerade ball. I'm looking forward to breaking out my ball dress which I haven't worn for 2 or 3 years (I hope it fits). I also bought my mask today so I'm ready to go!

If anyone in the north east is interested it's at the Centre for Life, tickets are £35 and includes a 3 course meal and the money goes to cancer research.

I've also heard that hurricane Ike is blowing through the Caribbean, I hope they clear up in the next week as I'm off to the Dominican Republic!
