My New Office

I'm so excited! Yesterday, while I was working at Borders, my new office was built. It's a built-in wrap-around desk of cherry that looks out onto our backyard. I'm writing this from my office desk for the first time. I don't think I've ever been so excited about a new feature in my house! LOL. Here is a picture–kind of hard to see because of the sun shining in–clearly I need to buy some blinds. I'll post another picture when I have it all set up!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, everyone! I hope yours ...

But every time I call my domain company in an attempt to get it back online, this is their response, "Oh, you need to do xxx, and then wait for another three days and then we'll get it back up for you." I...

Secondly, as many of you know, I have three children. I was in my daughter's kindergarten class last week, doing my civic duty as a volunteer, and here's how one of my conversations went:

Me: Okay, you're going to write "This." Uppercase t…
5-year-old: No.
