Well, I officially participated in NaBloPoMo. I think I only created 2 or 3 posts of substance, but participating did for me what I hoped it would – it helped me over my reluctance and got me focused again on my writing. I have paid more attention again to my inner life and how important [...]
Today was the second snow day in a row. But it was actually better than yesterday. I think I just embraced the fact that we were totally housebound and decided to make the most of it. I baked, I decorated for Christmas, I cuddled with the boys. Our babysitter was the saving grace. She lives [...]
My oral surgeon called with the pathology report today. Some of the cells looked abnormal. “Abnormal as in….?” I asked. “Well, the pathology guys marked them as abnormal.

mypinktoes is in a bit of a flux tonight. My stellar techie husband is helping me iron out some Movable Type kinks. My brain hurts (I am NOT a programmer – I’m an English major!)… my tongue hurts (did I mention I had a fair amount of tissue removed? I just did the math… the [...]
