Thank you! I have my mom to thank. She says she ruminated long and hard over how to spell my name once she decided what it would be. She finally chose Alyson because the 'y' makes it (or made it, now, probably) a little bit unique, and because it doesn't have any "wasted letters." She always says two l's is Awl-yson. :o)

Hee. Yes -- Well, I've been told there are 48 1/2 days as of now. I'm okay right now, I guess, but I'll be crazy in about 40 days! How about you? Still immersed in your other fandoms, or are you getting VM antsy?
